24h competition 22th edition – fire

"'Earth Metabolism' demonstrates a very interesting idea of fire and the idea of watch tower and controlling system is carefully managed and arranged in a single image. While its representation of fire watch tower is carried out in a simple manner, but the project embodies a very complex concept of an energy transition flow as a series of collected objects and moments." Chang Kyu Lee

“Earth Metabolism” introduces an idea for a global network rather than a specific zone, and aims to address various geological problems as well as proposing a system for fire prevention (or containing fire, as the proposal reads). Relating the design problem to large-scale issues such as floods and draughts is an interesting approach that inspires a person to think further on the addressed issues. The presentation of the idea is skillfully crafted." Onur Özkoç

"This is a high-tech solution combined with a lot of creativity. The project is inspired by the exocytosis in biology and adopts different nature elements and resources to work in a sustainable way and prevent the spreading of wildfires." Victor Delaqua

“This ambitious high-tech proposal is interesting in the way it understands a mechanism as an organism, and the way it intends to interact with Earth's ecosystems, trying to restore the balance lost in hydrological cycles.” Susel Biondi

“This project is replete with ironic design for a future that never was. I like how at the same time as it is highly technological, it also strives to be a primeval machine, almost animal-like, like Leonardo Da Vinci’s designs. The idea that stands out most and is highly attractive is that of floating and balancing out nature’s excesses.” René Poggione
