near global

2009

In 2009 i worked for near London as a senior designer, creating the virtual west end. I did the detailed and technical design. Near London is an online 3d game that allows the users to explore the west end, do their shopping and chat with their facebook friends. Have a look at the beta version here http://www.nearglobal.com/

Bahrain National Monument (RAA)

2007

I worked With RAA (Raulph Applebaum Associates) for the last two years as an exhibition visualizer and 3D designer. In a highly multidisciplinary enviroment the aim was to deliver images that reflect a content based experiential design for museums. Working with large groups involving Graphic Designers, Theorists, 3d Designers and the museum staff, directors, sub-directors, curators, taxidermists, professors, Kings, geologists, priests and marketing people i had to develop a very agile methodology for delevering renders or drawings. The majority of my work had to communicate in simple terms the look and feel of the galleries and to initiate constructive ... or deconstructive feedback internally or with the client. Focusing on the sensitivities of complicated ethical and sociopolitical matters we couldn't use photographs or even design without a prior serious research and proofing.

Bahrain National Monument (RAA)

2007

Bahrain National Monument. The lead designer, a graphic designer and me, for the presentation to the King. The flythrough was created directly after the schematic design.

National Museum of Scotland (RAA)

2008

National Museum of Scotland, created in 5 days! To help the client understand the complicated structure from the plans and elevations I was drawing I created a flythrough using a few ready made skeletons, scaling and twisting their postures, adding antlers and so on. I had only one T-Rex and a shark so the rest followed the evolution of 3dstudio max.

Lots of dimension boxes.

Athens Olympics 2004

Bahrain National Monument

Museum of London

2007

This is a quick pitch for Museum of London. The basic idea was to install a big multiuser interactive table with a specially developed version of time based Google maps. The aim was to superimpose historical stages of growth, facts and archeological artifacts on current maps of London.

pink tank

2006 - 2007

Pink Tank was a project which in short was a 3D online Journal. I was developing pink tank for a year 2006-2007 with a help of a multidisciplinary team. I started the development within Central Saint Martins and after i graduated i have been invited to continue with Arts and Bussiness program, a collaboration of BT, Cambridge University and Goldsmiths. We didn't managed to do the appropriate fundraising but we kept the good memories.

Pink tank was Akin to a magazine but not a magazine, akin to a forum but not a forum, akin to a video game but not a video game Pink Tank is a 3D online space for creative thinking and entertainment. Visitors to Pink Tank may explore the 3D environment, read articles, listen to soundscapes, recordings and music, play mini games, watch videos, interviews, animations, documentaries and lectures and take part in discussions. read more...
