GEOtube Building Grows its Own Lace-Like Sea Salt Skin

a concept for Dubai that features a self-built exoskeleton made from accumulated sea salt deposits.

The lace-like skin forms once the seawater, misted onto its exposed mesh, evaporates and leaves a layer of salt behind. Because the Persian Gulf has the world’s highest salinity for oceanic water, the salt deposits accumulate quickly, making the transparent skin take on a new crystalline appearance.

the Bird's Nest

similar concept to my first project.
The Bird’s Nest: Fantastic Treehouse Room in a Forest Hotel

 blending in – it looks like a giant bird nest, complete with a retractable staircase for privacy, security and visual completeness.

it used a series of existing trees to support this new cylindrical structure. A healthy helping of fallen forest branches clouds the shape, though, making it appear amorphous and organic.

design inspiration

wall in multiple use.
‘Woodpile’ Cabin: Log-Lined Fire Pit = Four-Season Shelter

The concept itself is very cool – or rather, hot … then warm … then cold? A metal frame wraps all four sides of the structure, with slots to fit felled lumber to be used as fuel for a central fireplace. An open void in the top lets out excess smoke, as do the natural openings between pieces of wood tucked into the walls.

 As the winter wanes, so does the supply of burnable logs – the walls slowly open up and let in more light, reducing the protection needed in otherwise cold Canadian climates.

 wall  makes the boundary but that boundary has no limit when logs are all used or when it's not in use.
