“The video involves the documentation of a dramatic refurbishment of a Londontownhouse. This victorian terrace house is undergoing a radical conversion. The front elevation remains untouched, the interior of the house and the back elevation (facing the garden) will be transformed. The ground floor and the garden floor (basement) will become a single high celling space, a gallery to house a collection of contemporary art. This part of the house will be extended into the garden and its design will be highly modern, contrasting strongly with the original building.”

Guwahati Bamboo walkway
A project by Indrani Baruah, Emilio Fantin, William West and Paolo Rosso/Microclima
in collaboration with Periferry laboratory
“The intervention consists in building a Bamboo footbridge, 1km. long, along the side of Mani-karneswar hill, in the village of Barua souk,
North Guwahati, looks down on the Brahamaputra river. The footbridge is conceived to enhance the landscape of the vast area visible from the cliff. An important aspect of the project is to create a low impact functional structure through the exchange of ideas and building practices with the local population. The walkway will also be projected
to offer a glide on the river. The audience has to perceive a plunge into the landscape. The documentation will be realized by the Memem
film production.”

Flylight and Fragile Future3
by Studio Drift
Curated by Raffaella Guidobono
in collaboration with CASE DA ABITARE, fiberline, atelieritaliano
www.designdrift.nl
“Flylight is an interactive light installation based on the behaviour of birds flying – the happenings you see in the sky that you can look at for hours. In fact, those patterns are caused by the fact that no bird wants to be at the front of the group or to the side, so they are constantly challenging each other for best position. We programmed the DNA of that idea, and replicated it through technology. Flylight brings a lot of energy to a space because it is constantly changing, moving and surprising.”
