The Sky Mirror is a mirror from stainless steel polished with 10,7m of diameter located in Rockefeller Center. This installation is lightly elevated regarding the plan of the street, being the convex side orientated for the 5th Avenue, and the concave reflects the tower of the Rockefeller Center.
The object of his attention is the power of transformer of the mirrored surface, enslaving the trasuentes to observe in another way the reality that wraps them, in special his architecture, which distortion checks a new character and value.

Kongsberg Jazz Festival Tubaloon
Architect: Snohetta
2000 Kongsberg . Norway
The Tubaloon is a unique pneumatic tension membrane structure designed to serve the main stage at Scandinavia's reputable Kongsberg Jazz Festival.
Mouting, dismouting and storage of the structure have been optimized to allow for its annual festival appearence at its historic hilltop site.
The structure type is hybrid , featuring a continuous 1m diameter pneumatic perimeter tube that rests against a thin galvanised steel frame and provides even distribution of the tension to the large hour-glass-shaped central membrane. White Ferrari PVDF coated PVC fabric was chosen for its durability and responsiveness to effects from lighting. The hybrid structure results in a form that is more voluminous and shapely than pure membrane structures and it give the impression that the tubaloon is an organism rather than just skin.

Uchronia
Architect: Arne Quinze
2006 Nevada . Burning Man Festival
Uchronia is a message from the future, captured in a immerse sculpture. Narratives are hidden in every nook and cranny, to be fleshed out by those who make the effort to understand them. Uchronia represents a realm without boundaries, capturing all human emotions, including fear. Its roots are in the here and now: this organism's skeleton is formed by wooden battens. A sculptural Utopia symbolizing the human race, each beam representing one individual.
Uchronia was a joint project with Jaga that was built, and burned down, during the 2006 burning man Festival.
