ABOUT ME

My name is Johnny, and i am currently in my second year at the university of Melbourne. I have always had a strong passion in the artistic and creative fields. I particularly enjoy the process of creating something from scratch, and watch it develop into a final product that i can claim as my own.

I was born into a creative family with my grandfather being an artist, and my father being an architect and urban planner. Ever since i was young i have been a keen drawer, which later developed into my obsesson with design.

Aside from architecture, i spend most of my time writing music and playing sports. Basketball and music are my other two passions that i am currently pursuing while being at university. Through these other activities that i participate in, i have learnt the importance of teamwork and i’m always willing to learn from others.

generator’s ability to be sustainable accurately captures the lives of cities as they rise and fall one after another, naturally and gracefully.

The designers have also considered the natural environments of the deserts carefully and used it to their advantage. The element of sand is not only used as the material that forms the city traces, but is also adapted as the generator’s source of energy. During the day the generator is powered by solar energy, while at night, the ring uses the heat stored within the sand and powers the turbine until sunrise, before repeating the process over and over again. Therefore, with this “solar chimney system”, the City Trace Generator is able to move across 1.5km of sand with the support of only sunlight and two strips of glass that lay next to the ring as heat storing instruments.

This design is a perfect example of using the natural environemtns to the designers’ advantage.

City Trace Generator

Artist Team: Michal Gdak and Ewelina GorczynskaArtist Location: Wroclaw, PolandEnergy Technologies: Solar UpdraftAnnual Capacity: 1000 MWhDesigned for Site #2 in Abu Dhabi, between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island.

The City Trace Generator design aspires to reflect the idea of city evolution in the form of an art installation piece. The design is inspired by the ever-repeating process that a city undertakes from the point of birth, to the dawn of collapse. Therefore, the Polish designers developed the City Trace Generator that creates footprints in the form of sand skyscrapers with its sculpted interior as it drifts between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island.

The design is particularly clever in its metaphorical expressions. The circular form and movements as well as the

as well as transporting fresh water collected from rain and heavy fogs back into the coastal habitat. With this multi purpose ribbon structure, the salinity level of the coast may hopefully be restored along with the density of the native vegetation.

The form of the ribbon is also visually fitting to its environments. The struture traces the curves of the coastal lines whilst the mesh surfaces on the ribbon rise and fall irregularly; causing the structure to seem almost organic as it appears to imitate the wind-driven movement of the sandy desert. However, the materiality of the structure allows it to standout from a distance in the desert. Furthermore, my favourite part of the design is that even though it appears alienated by the natural desert environment, it is still able to be viewed in harmony with its surroundings. The unique form that is used to create ths environemental friendly ribbon is particularly inspiring to me as i aspire to construct varies forms of my own in my future studies.

The Living Ribbon

Artist Team: Brett MacIntyre and Adam PelisseroArtist Location: Halifax, CanadaEnergy Technologies: photovoltaic thin film and fog harvesting netsAnnual Capacity: 1,500 MWhDesigned for Site #2 in Abu Dhabi, between Saadiyat Island and Yas Island.

The design of the Living Ribbon is also inspired by the natural environments of the Dhubi Desert. Native flora and fauna rely on the delicate balance of moisture and nutrients; however the water salinity of the area is often disrupted, causing native species to slowly disappear.

Therefore, the design team proposed the idea of the Living Ribbon. A lightweight structure that stretch over 1.6km over the coastal boundary, harvesting electrical energy from sunlight
