We recently saw Asensio’s project, Canad Blooms Garden, over on Contemporist. While nice, it reminded us about this other project of his, which we had seen a while ago. The Surface Deep garden provides a garden wall that creates a vibrant space. The wall acts as a secondary green space, blurring the boundary between the architecture and the environment.

Check out this installation done for a senior thesis studio at Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo. The installation acts to create an environment that creates a certain mood within the space. Although a little vague in terms of actual definition, (all spaces are in some way affective) we like the form and the way it comes down to invade the space.

Check out this awesome installation from RISD students. Created using acrylic, LEDs, and arduinos, the installation is an interactive environment that responds to the inhabitant. Although it’s a bit small, we’d love to see a large scale installation of something like this.

We’re heading back to Detroit today, for another UM Taubman School project. This one was a shot at revitalizing a dead home. The students bought a house, more like a box, for $500, and created multiple interventions within the home. Each one seeks to create a unique moment within the home. Take a look!

Check out this small installation on the facade of an old store in Detroit. Created from metal triangles, the facade maintains security of the space within, while at the same time allowing natural light to penetrate. This is a great project, and a pretty great way to draw attention to an area at a smaller local scale.

Today we’re showcasing a whole class of work, from students in FIU’s Architectural Installations Class, taught by Alfredo Andia. The installations range in scale and design method, but each one creates a unique piece, explicitly without a purpose. Although these objects are not representative of any architectural space, they teach lessons in fabrication. We’ve chosen a few to show, as well as the outline from the professor. Check em’ out.

Today we’re going to branch out into something that’s not necessarily architecture. The project deals with many of the same factors though, like space and use. An installation to create a “playground” in an urban plaza.

The students of the Lund Technical College of Sweden were given the challenge to design and create a geometrical installation to inhabit an empty space. Robert Janson, and his fellow classmates, chose to use plastic carrier bags to create their delicate structure. The final design was simple and delicate, as the bags explode into the space and dance against the light. They approached architecture not to create space, but to inhabit space.

Tulane architecture students in Ammar Eloueini’s Digital Fabrication class have created a pretty interesting little installation. Starting with the idea of anamorphic graphics, the students created a structure that appears as one form when viewed correctly, but is made up of different pieces, each unique. The pieces range in depth, up to 10 inches thick, where the form acts as a bookshelf.
