The challenge of Tomorrow entry by Rafał

Hi to all!
My name is Rafał and I would like to share my idea with you.
My idea is based on the creation of one large object that would become a visual gateway to the city. A huge cube with a sphere cut out inside (or maybe a Big Apple) frames the surrounding space.
These are just a few sketches, but I think they show what’s going on.
I hope I can create something interesting.
Good luck to all participants!

My concept focuses on adding value to the Vessel.

The SPOON! A track which is in the shape of the spoon when seen from top. When seen from the front the support of the track looks like a gateway. A gateway to Hudson Bay!

So the name – SPOON – THE GATEWAY TO HUDSON.

The track is for both Cyclist and Pedestrian. From the track you can look down at the Vessel and also the Hudson bay from a new perspective.

Greetings,
Im mohamed Al Ashiq, this is my first time entering Ronen Bekerman Challenge. In regards to the Challenge of tomorrow. I focused on the Residents of Hudsons.
One of the main Problems of the Future will be the Urban lifestyle would induce a lot of stress mentally and physically. the Residents of Hudsons would go for a Sustainable,Non Conventional Buildings Which is centred by a Sanctuary, where people come to escape thier stressful urban life.This Sanctuary would have a Shield of Transluescent Material Surrounding them Which allows natural light and ventillation.They also act as Photovoltic Panels to generate Solar Enargy, From inside they also act as a LED ceiling Simulating Lighting and Environment should they go to grim.
I appreciate every Insights and tips.
thank you and good luck

Architecture has developed through the ages, specially after the world war-2 when we discovered as Urban communities that war was no longer useful, from that point human started a new ear of being a bit more civilized than before !
flashing our memory back to the architecture as a movie, shows us how the human urban development has formed from horizontal expansion to vertical, as a trial to maximize profits instead of the early urban Utopian cities that imagined heaven far from our life city centers where we have less pollution and more greens !
in fact this is how i imagine Newyork in 20 years ! its not gonna be bad ! but not as bright, life within 20 years will not change that much but humans will keep trying to overcome the existing feeling of horizontal expansion ( which is a must sooner or later ), more taller, agile, glossy tower with connections, bridges and some of that, a life that will expand more and more vertically, to respond to our higher density withing the congested city,
on the other hand humanity will keep using our old infrastructure ! because come on nothing changed yet ! but less light, less attention to the those old streets, less clean and unfinished works everywhere, A real contrast of old-new life forms.
finally this vision is not real, is not positive and yet to know its just a theory, but due to our life today am kind of skeptical about its bright future, hope am not too dark, and thanks guys, let me know what you think, and thanks a lot for reading some of “the poring architecture” theories ! 😀
