I'm a papercutting artist who uses an x-acto knife to carefully cut my creations out of paper. I've created incredibly detailed artistic re-imaginings of several human organs. To create each piece, I draw the outline of the organ, and begin cutting the inside free-hand with different patterns.
I recently set up an Oculus Rift headset in my living room and have been inviting friends and family over to experience virtual reality for the first time. It’s exhilarating to watch people react with joy (and sometimes disappointment) to virtual spaces I’ve struggled to describe to them. That feeling quickly gives way to an…

The former Havenziekenhuis in Rotterdam is being transformed into a residential complex. The project includes the renovation of the hospital’s historic main building and the construction of two residential towers flanking it. This ambitious development will provide 380 homes and a range of community facilities.
The historic Havenziekenhuis, one of the few buildings in central Rotterdam to survive the 1940 bombings, will be restored to its original splendour while incorporating modern sustainability features. A publicly accessible roof terrace offering views of the Nieuwe Maas and the city centre is also planned. In addition to housing, the new complex will host various neighbourhood amenities, including catering, healthcare, sports facilities, and commercial spaces, all located on the ground floor.
The design of the project places a strong emphasis on sustainability. The roofs of the residential buildings will serve as water storage, and the surrounding green spaces will also facilitate water collection. The green roof of the catering pavilion on the city balcony will support biodiversity, providing habitats for insects, spiders, and birds, while bat boxes will be integrated into the pavilion’s facade. The buildings will be heated using heat-cold storage, a method that stores energy in the form of heat or cold in the ground.
At least thirty percent of the homes will be in the middle segment, catering to both owner-occupiers and renters, while the remaining homes will be in the higher segment. As part of the same master plan by Mecanoo, the nearby future residential building De Hoge Wiek will offer 360 social rental homes. The current De Hoge Wiek building, which houses 207 homes, will be demolished due to its outdated condition.

Scarborough Foreshore Redevelopment | TCL
Vogabyggð is one of the first focus areas of the long-term masterplan, set up by the municipality of Reykjavik. The masterplan aims to densify and redevelop the existing city, rather than expanding it. This strategy is deployed as a catalyst to improve the quality of life within the city. Therefore the masterplan formulates 4 key ambitions: city by the sea, green city, creative city and city for the people. Vogabyggð is committed realise these ambitions. The location is tightly embedded within a port and transshipment area, a residential area and a large nature reserve. It will become a promising benchmark for other implementations of Reykjavik’s general masterplan. The development framework of Vogabyggð integrates 4 separate strategies, and connects them. slider CITY BY THE SEA Vogabyggð strengthens the interaction of Reykjavik with its natural frame, the sea. The seashore is developed as a diverse public realm, anchored to the whole district by a new central square. All cross streets are oriented towards the waterfront, turning the built fabric towards the sea. Every single block is edges by a street running to the water, each one of them revealing a different view to the delta plane. The topography is used and strengthened by terracing the buildings, to give as many people as possible the chance to profit from the view that belongs to a city by the sea. GREEN CITY Vogabyggð re-establishes the connection between Reykjavik and its sublime surrounding landscape. Therefore the masterplan moves away from the existing division between urban and natural landscape. A new boulevard through the entire district stitches together a network of local streets, connecting to paths through the ambient nature park. Beautiful courtyard gardens cover integrated parking garages, releasing car pressure from the streets. Carefully designed squares and pocket parks mark existing and newly made focal points. Developments are positioned in the green environment, and the green realm is brought into the urban fabric. This symbiosis is celebrated by the creation of various character zones: from fine-grained urban townships to ‘living in the green’ quarters. CREATIVE CITY Vogabyggð releases the subdivision between residential, industrial and recreational zones, giving way for mixed-use urbanity. Careful positioning of public program activates main public places. Facilities are located in the vicinity of the ones who need them. The existing industries are mixed with new housing and streets are animated with commercial plinths. The area becomes a fertile ground for the gradual transformation of Vogabyggð into an urban mosaic. CITY FOR PEOPLE! Vogabyggð breaks with streets as infrastructural spaces, and goes through great lengths to design them as vibrant public places. Where people can walk, bike, stay and meet each other. Squares and parks activate new key places. Integrated networks establish connections to ambient neighborhoods and nature areas. Therefore existing barriers are sometimes literally bridged. Vogabyggð belongs to the people. To its inhabitants, entrepreneurs and, well, everybody who just loves to be there.

As the city’s most influential urban renewal plan takes flight, we lead the redevelopment of this once industrial zone to bring the banks of the LA River back to life.Littered with rusty cars on greasy asphalt for over 50 years, Salazar operated an auto body shop just off the river in Frogtown. Our challenge was to transform the site along one of LA’s industrial corridors into a welcoming, 150-seat open air eatery and beer garden.
