22nd April 2009 Wednesday Urban Room Project source: urbanroom.arasburak.net
We have been very busy with our new hotel project in Tower Hill London in the past few months.
The work is still in progress and can be followed from http://urbanroom.arasburak.net
The hotel project aims to accommodate both private and the public spaces with advanced spatial arrangements - using the techniques borrowed from Tokyo Shibuya and Kyoto - just next to each other rejecting the traditional boundaries of programmes by having floorplates and walls for seperation.
Urban Room Project / Tower Gardens Hotel is being realized following the unit programme of Intermediate 6 at Architectural Association School of Architecture in association with Scobie Alvis and Aris Kozmidis' technical consulting.

04th December 2008 Thursday Plaster Model source: arasburak.net
This plaster model is casted inside a foam mould. After the settlement of the plaster, with the aid of aceton I melted the mould and got this very thin shell wih another layer of coloured plaster inside.
The contrast of the two surfaces differ very apparently. while the inner shell is very smooth and reacting to the light in a very different way, the outer layer is because of its previous attachment to the foam mould, feels more rough.
An accident happened during the making of this plaster model which also lead me to have a very interesting result. One weak corner of the foam mould broke with the pressure of the water and started floating on the bottom corner of the box that I'm doing the casting in. This accident caused the outer layer to spread into the supposively inner shell. (the image on the right)
