After JIMEK’s two inaugural symphonic concerts at the new Szczecin Philharmonic we decided we’ll do one more thing. Let’s open the doors and perform spontaneously, with no tickets, no jackets, but surely with all the strings attached. This goes out to tell you the story of JIMEK’s roots – the place he’s from, his orchestral composer background.

We could have done the most explosive in-your-face debut video, but we didn’t. Let’s start from the top. This is how we begin.
PROLOGUE is the opening track from JIMEK’s the upcoming debut album entitled ‘The Best Of’.

Music composed, orchestrated and conducted by: JIMEK

While natural disasters are perceived as terrible occurrences, natural forces can also be viewed as awe-inspiring and magnificent. Dear disaster cabinet is aiming to facilitate a process of recovery after natural disasters for the user to reconcile and regain trust in nature.

The moveable structure is meant to give an outlet through which the user can express his emotions and on which he can leave his own individual imprint. This was inspired by the idea that creating images and graphs might aid a psychological recovery. The structure symbolizes a process of regaining trust in nature with the help of abstract patterns and rhythmic interaction, similar to using a rosary to aid in prayer.

The patterns are inspired by water and waves – calm or agitated like a stormy sea, static and moveable at the same time.

Hutong, a word of Mongolian origin meaning water well, is used to describe a lane formed by the outer walls of traditional courtyard houses, usually sharing a well in the middle. Since the mid-20th century, many Beijing hutongs have been demolished in order to make way for new constructions, while others have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve cultural history. Architect Han Wenqiang and his Arch Studio, worked on such an L-shaped neighborhood of a total of 450 sqm, in the Hutong region of the city’s millennium-old East District. And by the first months of 2015, they had transformed a derelict compound of buildings into a new age Tea House where patrons come to enjoy their tea, read, or even have a little dinner.

This project began with an interest in challenging the typical notion of the parking structure as an unappreciated infrastructural typology by transforming the new Eskenazi Hospital parking structure into an interactive, synthetic terrain. A field of 7,000 angled metal panels in conjunction with an articulated east/west color strategy creates a dynamic façade system that offers observers a unique visual experience depending on their vantage point and the pace at which they are moving through the site. In this way, pedestrians and slow moving vehicles within close proximity to the hospital will experience a noticeable, dappled shift in color and transparency as they move across the hospital grounds, while motorists driving along W. Michigan Street will experience a faster, gradient color shift which changes depending on their direction of travel.
