This is a temporary structure made up of 4 different forms of land (cross, circle, hexagon and rectangle) wrapped in a translucent membrane that house various programs. Each of these soils is a face of a tetrahedron and the flag changes shape to turn over their faces to accommodate fashion shows, runway, film festival and art exhibitions this summer in Seoul.

A rq T OPSI has only two years of age, but twelve, and perhaps more, of gestation and term. The constructive axonometrics JARF -Juan Antonio Rodríguez Fernández-draw for some of the best known publishers of architecture were always the final analysis, autopsies of architecture. With all that the phrase carries with respect to depth study of all project documentation in its final stage of work: plans, elevations, sections, construction details, memory, photos ... your mental deconstruction and subsequent restructuring process, layer by layer, taking extra care in how it displays what it teaches, so that the result will be respectful but honest with the building, already exists and is usually finished. After appearing in books and magazines internationally distributed architecture, the axonometrics of JARF move to very different shapes and textures, thermal printing on canvas, in the traveling exhibition A rq T OPSI has traveled, in these two years, the exhibition halls of three schools of architecture: Barcelona, \u200b\u200bSegovia and Madrid, three public schools of architects: Madrid, Almeria Asturias, Oviedo-based and two art galleries: Gallery OAB COAM in Madrid and Barcelona. Since last April 23 may be seen a selection of five of the drawings by the author at the headquarters of Official College of Architects of Madrid (street Wafer, 12, Ground Floor)

JG Ballard, analyst visionary emotional and psychological impact of architecture on the individual, died on Sunday 19 April. Nic Clear directed with Simon Kennedy from 2007 in unit 15 of the Bartlett School of Architecture , courses "Crash: Architectures of the Near Future" (2007-2008) and "The Near Future Part II" (2008-2009), where architectural space is reinterpreted Ballard. Unit 15 uses video, computer graphics and animation to create new realities, which is very innovative compared to traditional ways of having projects in architecture.
Nic `s right hand talking two way Elvis archimaxx Nic Clear was interviewed in December by Simon Sellars of Ballardian. Then translate parts of the interview that I found particularly interesting to understand their thinking and research lines. At the end there is a link to the full interview.
"synthetic space is merging real and virtual writers like Ballard and Burroughs have described the synthetic space for years. In architectural terms I see as the inability to differentiate interstitial spaces and their representations (where more spatial representations proposals become space). "
"I started my thesis in 1989 with a quote from Frederic Jameson: 'Of all the arts, architecture is the closest to the Economic constitutively, with Which, in the form of Commissions and land values, it has to Virtually unmediated relationship. " Little has changed since then, in fact things have gotten worse.

However, an educational level to work with film, video and animation shows a wide range of cosmetic techniques and organizational So despite my rhetoric antiprofesión, like I'm doing a good job helping students navigate successfully in the profession " own translation of parts of the interview.
