Timeless – An Architectural exhibition exploring the 4D possibilities of architecture
Film has influenced architecture since the dawn of the modern era. The creative process for entertainment, and creating places for living and working share common ground. Film influences the profession of architecture through its speculative spaces which are removed from the constraints of reality. These instances serve as inspiration in the creation of the architecture past and future. Timeless looks at designers (including filmmakers, architects, media artists, set designers, etc…) who deal with “blurring the threshold of spatial and temporal constructions.” The Call for Entries addresses space in time and time in space, and how to compose that relationship. The curatorial team seeks project and design approaches that address existing or experimental ways of working dealing with the timeless challenge of composing in time.
Please submit early to ensure a streamlined curatorial process. Authors of selected work will be notified shortly after submittal.
Submit Entries to: superfront.timeless@gmail.com no later than April 30th, 2011.

HELIOS REHAB SANCTUARY [Solar + Healing]
Designed by Team CLS, headed by award winning UK Architect Darren Chan, other members
including Emily Lau (Architecture Graduate) and Jonas Sin (Netherlands Architect), the “Helios
Rehab Sanctuary” innovates in application of sustainable technologies to create a new and exciting
typology.
HELIOS REHAB SANCTUARY [Solar + Healing]
Within an ethereal rehabilitating tower, shades of society gather forming communities of hope.
Occupants are treated with supported clean peaceful living. The tower, vertically zoned, focuses on
healing the BODY (lower), MIND (mid-section) and SPIRIT (high).
Truly sustainable cities should focus on the economy of resources but also the health of the people.
Diminished portions of the community briefly “escape” pressured living to rehabilitate within
the tower and ultimately release back into society. Sufferers are included in sympathetic micro-
communities living in specialized environments whilst contributing to society.
The tensegrity-network-based outer-frame houses horizontal access, connecting occupants to their
pods via green ramps surrounding central functions. The “hexa-skin” and pod shells incorporate
air pollution cleansing TX-Active (Titanium Dioxide) integrated white panels which also reflect light
onto the Solyndra Solar rod arrays encasing the kinetic pods. The Solyndra capture direct, diffused
and reflected sunlight across 360-degree photovoltaic surfaces. Depending on climatic variation, it
opens promoting cooling and the rod-system induces ventilation and views, it closes for protection,
insulation and energy saving.
Once diminished, users rejuvenate and support a healthy society. The shimmering tower acts as a
beacon of hope to its parent city; a vertical rehab sanctuary.
