This project’s facade explores the duality of tectonic solidity and material erosion through stereotomic coral limestone and adobe earth walls layered with steel substructures and thermal buffers.

As part of this semester’s assignment, students carried out detailed measurements of the Angewandte’s Mensa.

This project’s facade concept weaves together bio-based composites, bamboo, and timber construction to form a warm, breathable, and renewable building skin rooted in ecological performance.

The “Flood disaster” project examines the 2021 Ahrweiler floods, highlighting causes, recovery flaws, and advocating sustainable, innovative strategies for long-term resilience.

The “Piz Cengalo Landslide” project analyzes the 2017 Bondo disaster, linking geological and climate factors to its causes, assessing socio-economic and ecological impacts, and advocating sustainable, community-driven strategies to strengthen mountain resilience against future geohazards.

The “Slime Mould” project investigates the decentralized intelligence of Physarum polycephalum to inspire adaptive, efficient, and bottom-up approaches in architectural and urban design.

“ReRoot” explores the design potential of plant root systems as living, structural, and aesthetic components, using digital biofabrication to guide root growth into responsive, patterned materials.

The “IKEA HQ” translates the brand’s flat-pack ethos into architecture, with modular, transportable spaces that assemble and disassemble with ease, expressing flexibility, adaptability, and exposed structural layering.

The “Kering Group HQ” reinterprets brand identity through the architectural interplay of heavy masonry and lightweight steel, creating spatial tension and elegance rooted in craftsmanship, contrast, and scale.

“Tiny Estate” is a compact architectural concept exploring high-performance concrete construction and precise detailing to create a thermally efficient, spatially refined micro-dwelling.

“Multicore Assembly” is a modular construction concept that merges a preassembled steel cage with pneumatic glass cushions to explore transparency, precision, and adaptable tectonics.

The “Guabuliga Market” is a modular, pavilion-like structure that blends traditional architectural forms with community-driven design to support trade, gathering, and sustainable development in rural Ghana.

This proposal for a new University of Applied Arts envisions a single-story elevated structure with reconfigurable studio spaces and underground workshops, fostering flexible, cross-disciplinary learning environments.
