Week 10 - Exemplars


Turkish architects Sinan Gunay and Mustafa Bulgur propose City(e)scape as a series of structures attached to skyscrapers to create a second ground plane.

The architecture is interpreted as a path, connecting the beginning with the end, ultimately representing the principle of reincarnation. The shape of the project allows the inner and outer surface to meet in the same point seamlessly. The entire building is intertwined with two spiral dislocation rise.







A project to create a comprehensive graphical representation of the internet in just one day and using only a single computer has already produced some eye-catching images. The Opte Project uses a networking program called "traceroute". This records the network addresses that a data packet hops between as it travels towards a particular network host.
