The students, who are currently in their second year at GSD, tapped into the collective catalogue of unrealised projects from their peers to create Unbuilt<\/em>, a canopy of hand-milled, pink foam models, which will be accompanied by an app for easy identification so as to ensure that each project and designer has its day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Netjets and Snarkitecture <\/strong><\/span>
\nThe official partner of Art Basel for the last 14 years, Netjets is the only way we would fly to Miami events if the choice were up to us. This year, the private jet company has recruited Snarkitecture to create an installation that will put its Signature Series Global 5000 aircraft in the spotlight. Staged at the Landmark Aviation private jet terminal in Miami International Airport, Snarkitecture will reimagine the jet\u2019s exterior as a sight pilots flying at dawn or dusk usually experience: an ombr\u00e9-tinted sky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
