My Concepts

Winka Dubbledam

1. The building as land art in itself.

2. City as a growing organism viewed dynamically rather than statically.

3. A project could be read as complete in the vertical (virtual) state.

1. Buildings can be a human escape hatch from environmental conditions and dropped or placed anywhere.

2. Technology is an inspiration of new reality.

3. Nomadism is the dominant social force where time exchange and metamorphosis replace stasis.
