 Public Receptors: a Textile Installation by New York Prize Fellow Gabi SchilligVan Alen Institute announced Public Receptors: Beneath the Skin, a textile installation by New York Prize Fellow Gabi Schillig, a conceptual artist and architect based in Berlin.Schillig's wearable spatial structures mediate between private users and public spaces, provoking new relationships between bodies, clothing, and the built environment. Redefining the garment as tactile architecture, Schillig explores the potential for soft geometries and surfaces of textiles, conventionally associated with individual bodies and human scale, to generate alternative arrangements of social space and modes of interaction in the urban fabric. For Schillig, multiple users, desires, and urban contexts are necessary to materialize her work. Designed to be interconnected and shared, her second skins evolve an architecture built upon the creativity of its participants. Over the course of her fellowship residency, Schillig has developed a new set of textile structures she calls public receptors, and she has conducted a series of site-specific experiments for their implementation in New York City. Made from felt, latex, and a variety of fastening devices, the structures are designed for attachment to specific building surfaces and street conditions, to be improvised and appropriated for clothing, furniture, habitat, or other uses. event (ended) current design events more Public Receptors: a Textile Installation by New York Prize Fellow Gabi Schillig design directory Van Alen Institute > Urban Design Organizations added by Levent OZLER |
 Perkins Eastman Unveils Design for Accident and Emergency Care Hospital in the UAEInternational architecture and design firm Perkins Eastman recently unveiled the design of Al Maktoum Accident and Emergency (A&E) Hospital - the newest and most sophisticated Accident and Emergency Hospital of its kind in the UAE."Based on our experience with large-scale complex care facilities, we believe that the Al Maktoum A&E Hospital will create a new standard for innovative, patient-centered care, in the UAE," says Jonathan N. Stark, AIA, Principal and Managing Director of Perkins Eastman International. Chosen by the Dubai Health Authority and the Department of Health and Medical Services (DOHMS) to create an advanced A/E hospital, Perkins Eastman designed a facility capable of providing immediate care for minor- to high-level trauma. An ambulance receiving area is directly linked to a surgical trauma operating suite and a diagnostic imaging unit with MRI, CT, and X-ray capabilities. The highly integrated design provides significant flexibility and a focus on patient care and family needs. The 300-bed facility includes a large, five-floor nursing unit providing specialized treatment and care for patients recovering from surgery. more Perkins Eastman Unveils Design for Accident and Emergency Care Hospital in the UAE design directory Perkins Eastman > Architecture Companies added by Levent OZLER |
