The work deals with the possibilities of emergent urban strategies, bottom-up systems exploring capacities and the possibilities of multiple and adaptable systems. Topological thinking connects urbanism with architecture. The project develops a forgotten artificial heap in the middle of the city and transforms it into a sustainable, structured cluster of residential, development and technological units. The successive strategy preserves the qualities of the area and develops the hidden potential of the place. The discrete architectures of the units are articulated in a coherent language based on the original factory designs.

It investigates space of intimacy around bathing that reveals a diversity of cultures by exposing the bodily in space. Through the presence of the body, differences of gender and identity become more visible. To go beyond gendered categorization in space, the architecture starts to envelope and fragment with acoustic, and reflective surfaces the perception. It is an attempt to reconsider spatial hierarchies and open for a multiplicity of intimacies. It reclaims the Donaukanal as a public space to swim and opens an artificial riverbed offering the body different types to provide for degrees of intimacy. Space is experienced in ...

« A C T » aims to rethink the relationship of natural and artificial realms in an « ALL INTERIOR ». As a prototypical investigation into a new residential typology for high-rise buildings, the project deals in and with extreme heat conditions by introducing an architecture of gradients. It seeks to establish a self-defined interior context which enables a new nature to nurture gradually from the inside-out, ultimately resulting in a new cultural identity based on a local climate discourse. The tower promotes a contextual shift away from current dependence, provoking a polyvalent interior-habitat where prevailing exterior conditions are not the predominant context ...

This thesis investigates, how spatial and sonic qualities of architecture can be used to produce festive interactive instruments of daily communal coping for a marginalized Roma community.

Augmented Reality Technologies become popular because it gives us a chance to perceive the digital environment within the physical one. In this project, physical and virtual environments are designed simultaneously and affect each other. Museum was chosen as a program as a place for exhibiting the art and certain atmosphere for displaying new digital media. The way of interaction of a user and architectural environment is taken as a main navigation point of the design. User always needs a device for interaction with the digital environment, different device defines the type of communication, so-called ‚architectural language‘. With Augmented Reality ...

The Otherworldliness, audio-video production creates augmented spatial sceneries for an informal and dynamic production and projection of Nollywood movies in southern Spain. The proposal is a sequence of artefacts, which tense the voids in polyethylene landscape of plastic greenhouses. They create sleek greenscreen studios for movie production, tensegrity Silver Screens for projection and terraces with Silver Gardens which are planted in the traces from the construction process of the structure’s envelope. Tensegrity has dialogue with tensile greenhouses, but the message it brings it’s freedom. Made out of Thermo-Plastic Sediment, an entity between two realms: greenhouses ...

All Watched Over aims to create a camouflaged interior as an artifact of data and images. Through the exchanged visual elements in cybernetic terrain, social relations are created while physical bodies expand onto virtual.Mediated civic interior values human expression and public experience while adapting mass media typologies to the digital age. The facade becomes a visual tool to avoid panoptic gaze and grants anonymity to the body. The interior order behind the facade rejects the ideal privileged cartesian subject through the multiplication of focuses and expanding the visual field. The theatre evolves as a new typology to blur ...

The treatment facility and fabrication of the artificial organs suggesting an alternative use of the particle accelerator is proposed in Inglewood, California. The project proposes to use the synchrotron to reinforce the scaffold during the process of bioprinting. Having the synchrotron as the base body of the project’s formalism – the other services of healthcare facilities are adjacent to its shape to maintain the technological circulation. Unlike classical hospital typology planning, Decell Lab emphasizes the use of the public spaces. The role public spaces play in usual medicinal facilities is rather excluded – waiting rooms, in most of the cases, ...

Reminisce Architecture is about storing and revisualising zeitgeist memories through architecture. Specifically how memories can become an architectural manifestation within a museum typology, as a monument and as a time capsule.

Data, carved, inside 10.000 years high resilience quartz glass allows us to create digital fossils. These engravings allow people to interact with the stored data through AR contact lenses. Accessible within memory theatres for immersive experiences or via browsing the etched archive, the memories become visualised as holographic dynamic point-clouds.

The Central Park Reservoir offers the perfect void for Reminisce Architecture. Inspired by the idea ...

There has long been a vision to find solutions to appease the issues caused by the rapid change of society, modernization and the need for fast and efficient mobility, one was sought after in its materialization in the metabolism movement.
