Stage

An expo inside a sphere.

The one-day BAC 2023 proposal organizes an international expo as a spherical world, linking country spaces, green surfaces, circular routes, and a shared center. It won First Prize.

A shared spherical world

Country exhibition elements attach around a central sphere, with green zones, biodiversity surfaces, and a transparent environmental shell distributed across it.

Countries can meet

Exhibition slices move toward the central hall for shared events. Circular routes link the countries, while an elevator brings visitors into the sphere from outside.

A comic as the board

The proposal appears inside a found speculative sketchbook. Comic-style pages and AI-assisted images turn the abstract brief into a short visual story.

First Prize

The project won First Prize in BAC 2023.

Backstage

We returned with one day again.

Arezou, Sana, and I returned after our BAC 2022 Second Prize. This time we compressed a Rhino model, Midjourney images, comic pages, and a Spatial submission into one day.

We used the missing site

BAC 2022 gave us a real park and existing columns. BAC 2023 gave us no site, so we used the metaverse brief to work with geometry, gravity, and movement that a physical building could not offer.

We designed the story too

The found-sketchbook format made the abstract project more tangible, gave the submission a clear identity, and suited the speculative brief.

We used AI for atmosphere

We generated Midjourney images to support the fictional narrative. They worked as storytelling material rather than conventional architectural visualizations.
