This speculative research project proposes a new architectural model built around adaptability, disassembly, and long-term material reuse. Rather than treating buildings as fixed and disposable objects, the project asks how architecture might be designed to evolve over time—able to be taken apart, repaired, and reconfigured as needs change.
At the center of the proposal is a single-material building envelope made from large-scale 3D-printed sand blocks. The façade is conceived as an independent outer layer, separate from the structure and interior spaces inside. By avoiding complex, multi-layered façade systems, the project imagines a more circular approach to construction, where materials can be easily reused and repla... More

SETT CE couch
Circular designGispen’s Sett CE is not simply a designer sofa; this sofa is made of 95% recycled material!
In order to reduce the production of plastic waste, Gispen has taken its own plastic waste and has made a sofa out of it. We 3D printed packing materials to create the shell of Sett CE, for example.
When you reuse materials, you must always make sure that they are separable again, ensuring that they can be reused in future production processes. All materials of the Sett CE sofa are separable and the innovative technology ensures that every single component can be reprocessed into a new product. More
CURVY E
Nothing short of the unexpected, Curvy E is full of surprises and contradictions. Organic, quirky shape, functionality blend beautifully with carbonfiber material and even more than meets the eye. Small and curvy, the oval shape ends abruptly, cut off at an angle. An organic design inspired by the chanels of Greek columns, fundamentals of ancient architecture! Curvy E is not for a discreet expression. It demands attention. It will guide your attention. More

Dragon Shell
Our nature has dual character, so does the light. Particle or wave, maybe both! This shade present willingness to achieve balance between very subtle and in the same time really tough and durable piece. With only 1 mm wall thickness it looks fragile like a sheet of veneer. In other hand it's surprisingly strong due to it's structural pattern which gave also production advantages like avoiding any support material and usage of less material as possible. This wooden filament is blend of PLA and PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) an biodegradable polymer produced by bacterial fermentation of sugar or lipids + 30% fine pinewood fibers. Amazing mixture of ingredients balances strength, elongation and transparency making it the ideal choice for ligh... More
