Megalomania
The film project Fanciful Megalomania is described by its author Jonathan Gales, as some “Fanciful drawings of construction sites”.

Fernanda Fiuza: Independent Town Hall, Old Ottoman Prison, Jaffa. Jaffa used to be the economic capital of Palestine until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1947. Since then the city has lost its autonomy and has become a dilapidated neighborhood of Tel Aviv. The project considers the continuous erasure of the identity of Jaffa, as the Palestinian Arabs have been pushed out. Strategically sited on the boundary of the Jaffa hill, it aims to support new political projects for the local population.

Theatrical pleasure ground
Located on the old site of the great Byzantium Cemetery in Istanbul. A series of models exploring the physical and non physical create a time-based landscape. The landscape comprises of theatrical machines that are split into three time-based categories: Automatic, Reactive and Interactive. Each of the categories relates back to one of the three 18th Century travel writers that instigated my years work: Gerard de Nerval, Mark Twain and Edmondo de Amicis.

The proposal generates power through transforming redundant heatand air exhausted from the underground transport system. Algae andhot water flow through the building skin expressing fluctuations inenergy production. The scheme acts as a city gateway recalling theephemeral qualities of Chinese landscape paintings.

The new Life Science Department, Taipei University
The urban fabric of the northern Neihu District of Taipei is redesignedaccording to the biotic and climatic conditions of the site. By utilising the natural variations in soil fertility and porosity it establishes ageomantic approach that maximises the productive potential of the urban surface.
