Knitted Cloud
Students: Mehrzad Rafeei, Somayyeh Ramezani

Primitive Piles: Cummulative Masses & Incongrous Forms
Students: Mike Wang
Studio Title: Spina Vertical SP2012 – Tenuous Equilibrium, Busan Concert Hall
Instructor: Marcelo Spina
This project seeks to challenge the traditional cohesive formal homogenization processes, focusing instead on the organizational and aesthetic possibilities of a scripted pile, its cumulative mass and incongruous form.
