The logic behind the structural element of the Nambi Astronaut’s Training Facility is that the laves Grid allows the agents to navigate in any direction, and yet controlled on a notioned path. The construct of an intricate but yet secured structure is possible, especially if components of the structure segment are pre-fabricated for assembly. © Gelmira Gourgel

The Faletusi Infinitus library/archive explores and occupies the salt rock formation located underground 1000 ft down the ground within the Detroit salt mine site. The aim is to have an unconventional library/archive condition that submerses you in an alternative world exploring the leftover mined conditions. © Gelmira Gourgel
