Academic briefs/workshops and student work from the Architectural Association in London and from INDA Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok run by Space Popular's Lara Lesmes & Fredrik Hellberg currently teaching an intermediate unit at the Architectural Association titled Tools for Architecture.

INSTALLATIONS
Projects for galleries, institution, music festivals etc that all explore the relationship between surface and virtual content. Examples show virtual content printed on glass, fabric and plastics as well as projected with light.
The Glass Chain - 2017
Work in progress for and installation commissioned by Sto Werkstatt in London. Motives below will be printed on glass using ceramic ink. Private view 15 June 2017.
Augmentations of The Pavilion. There are at least 5 known version of Palac Kazimierzowski ranging from early Baroque versions dating from the 17th century to mid 20th century Neoclassical variants. We propose to have the footprint of all versions as a steel-plate contour in the ground and an a virtual reality augmentation to be experienced on site via different devices.
Colorful alloy structure partially outlining the mid 17th century Palac Kazimierzowsky.
Stone piece recovered from the Vistula river supported by the aluminium alloy structure.
Virtual reality reconstructions of the palace displaying corinthian capitals from the late neoclassical variant, visualized through VR devices.
The Cloud of Resilience - 2013
Space Popular proposal for a global mortality rate database and new way to experience and process death on a fully virtual platform.
The Cloud of Resilience is both a database where global mortality rates can be visualized and explored and a virtual platform for the keeping and remembering of the dead. Nearly 100 people die every minute. That makes almost 2 deaths per second. Geolocated and offset according to time, such data would generate a point-cloud of varying densities, revealing the outlines of the most populated places on earth. If we apply a death-rate filter to a given instant in history, we could visualize war, starvation, pandemics or other mass fatalities taking place in the timeframe selected.
Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Hellberg presents the coming year of INTER.ONE - Tools for Architecture to prospective students at the Intermediate presentations on the 27th of September 2017. More information at http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/STUDY/UNDERGRADUATE/?name=int1
