In 2006 Gary Bates was invited to Curate the 2007 edition of the Oslo Triennale, the third in a series of international architecture events organized by the National Association of Norwegian Architects (NAL), in collaboration with the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), Norsk Form, OAF (Oslo Association of Architects), and Oslo Teknopol. Under the theme “Culture of Risk”, the 2007 Triennale focused the attention on Norwegian Architecture in a critical perspective that expanded from the objectified quality of its tradition towards its potential for innovation, opening space to challenge innovative thinking and risk taking in architecture. The program unfolded through diverse initiatives in different venues across the city, including 2 main exhibitions, “Risk” and “Urban without Urbanity”, the special publication “B-Sides” and the Triennale International Conference.

Pierre Hebbelinck - Atelier d'architecture
Février 2012 - Appel à candidatures: L’atelier d’architecture Pierre Hebbelinck – Pierre de Wit engage un architecte expérimenté en gestion de chantier
January 1997, a full team of architects, engineers, biologists and designers join their capacities and investigations and start to develop the Prototype "Bionic Vertical Space" ideologically and physically. The result is presented at the "III International Conference IFHS", as a lecture titled "Conquest of Vertical Space in the 21st Century - International Conference on Multipurpose High-Rise Towers and Tall Buildings" organized by "The Concrete Society" in London, October, 1997. The Original Lecture is signed by the Architects Eloy Celaya, Javier Gómez and the Engineer Javier Manrique. At that moment "Bionic Tower Vertical City" starts its pace and development until the beginning of the year 2001, being this project directed by Architects Eloy Celaya, Javier Gómez and Mª Rosa Cervera.
bionic tower
The Bionic Tower is a proposed vertical city , an extremely large building designed for human habitation designed by Spanish architects Eloy Celaya , Mª Rosa Cervera , and Javier Gómez. It would have a main tower 1,228 metres (4,029 ft) high, with 300 stories housing approximately 100,000 people. The point of the Bionic Tower is to use Bionics to solve the world's rising population problems in an eco-friendly way, a feat incredibly hard to accomplish. The Bionic Tower is composed of two complexes put together. The first complex, Bionic Tower, is made up of twelve vertical neighborhoods, each eighty meters high.
