Aeroform is conceived as a prototype which explores the dimensionality of the billboard and creates a subsidized living module that would allow people with limited means to live in a home in a major metropolitan city where in the future escalating real estate values would prohibit such home ownership. This fusion of the billboard and the house creates an opportunity for inhabitants to generate income from the billboard in turn subsidizing the exorbitant cost of living in a home in a major metropolis.

Generating to new World virus solves the “archi-epidemic” of the podium to tower prototype and in a while, it would become to new one like any to other solution? Vancouver, is a cosmopolitan city that through the years has become a city with great potential for its country, it counts with a great influence as economic as much as social, its a city where the growth has taken to live it like a very particular experience where each one of the buildings wants to transmit its individuality losing itself between the others like a competition where each one tries to be protagonist and each new member wants to be the leader in a space invaded by the equality of all.

Let’s face it…public restrooms are a necessary part of life. They are often unsanitary, broken, outdated, and generally only used when there is no alternative. The products and systems that inhabit them have evolved only incrementally. The sync system represents a shift in the product category, pushing boundaries to deliver an enhanced public washing experience. Sync is a modular, no-touch hand cleansing/drying system that addresses these concerns by applying new technology and re-thinking the user’s work flow. The system replaces the current landscape of public sinks and hand drying systems by combining the two functions into one station. It delivers a noticeably ‘cleaner’ aesthetic, saves space and energy, simplifies the washing/drying experience, and improves restroom traffic flow.
High-pressure jets spray a mist of mild, ozonated water that sterilizes germs and bacteria, while providing a physical agitant to remove grime.After a 5 second wash cycle, the system begins blowing air from above, and sucking air in from below at a high speed, providing a fully cyclical airflow (shorter drying time). The air blows until the user removes hands from the field. Placing hands in Sync begins an automatic cleansing/drying cycle.

With more and more research being done for providing better means of transportation and maintaining the fine balance between space and economy, CLEVER or Compact Low Emission Vehicle for urban Transport, a concept vehicle that is 3 feet wide and runs on compressed natural gas is a perfect vehicle for urban driving. Just as cool as T-Rex 3 wheeler concept design, CLEVER is greener with a low emission three-wheeled vehicle and a capacity to carry two persons; thus an ideal vehicle for the working couples with no kids. It is expected to go into production and hope that it sure shall cater to the needs of average working family.
