This project imagines a future community where technology, nature, and people coexist in balance. By building less, reusing existing structures, and using low-carbon materials, it promotes adaptable, sustainable urban growth. The site functions as an innovation-focused campus with green corridors, shared mobility, and community-driven spaces. Overall, it aims to create a smart, resilient, and human-centered city that supports wellbeing and innovation. Caption Caption Caption Caption More

A structure between living, producing, and coexisting In the age of digital mobility, space is no longer bound to singular functions; portability, multi-connectivity, and spatial ambiguity have redefined the everyday landscape. Today, a library, a café, or a kitchen is no longer confined to its original role — each can become a workspace, a social interface, or a site of production. While this transformation has already taken root in public and semi-public realms, the real question lies in how such multifunctionality can be integrated into the domestic scale — particularly within spatial constraints. Caption How can the interior spaces of the home respond to these shifting practices of production?How might persona... More

The proposed Museum of Science in Rome is a dynamic hub for science, architecture, and nature, designed as a levitating structure that restores urban space to the city. By lifting the building, we create an open-air plaza - a vibrant social and learning hub for all ages. A transparent, porous volume connects the suspended museum to the city, housing an auditorium, research spaces, and exhibitions, all linked by a glazed atrium and grand ramp. A public theater offers free screenings, while a rooftop garden with panoramic views transforms the skyline, creating a new urban landmark.

The Museum of Architecture & Design in Helsinki is a permeable cultural hub, seamlessly integrating arts, crafts, and learning while respecting the urban and maritime context. Inspired by stacked breakwaters, its design features an elevated gallery, a sloped workshop, and a waterfront restaurant, creating dynamic spaces for social interaction. Multiple entry points ensure transparency and inclusivity, while a south-facing ramp and winter garden offer panoramic views and year- - round events. Caption Caption Sustainability is central to the design, with a timber and concrete hybrid structure, passive solar strategies, and rainwater collection ensuring energy self-sufficiency.

The proposal reconsiders the conventional role of the construction-site pavilion, transforming it from a static viewing platform into an active and adaptable environment that engages directly with the evolving process of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center designed by Renzo Piano. Conceived as an educational and observational space, the pavilion establishes a dynamic relationship between visitor, architecture, and construction activity, allowing the constantly changing nature of the site to inform both the spatial organisation and material expression of the project.   At the core of the proposal lies the idea of flexibility as both a functional and conceptual strategy. The interior is designed as a fluid and transformable... More

The new Losbates school is an opportunity to give the community of Louňovice, Štíhlice, Babice, Thovec and Svojetice a new magnet center for social interaction, where learning, arts and sports share common grounds in a dynamic and interactive way. The organic shapes of both the individual function volumes as well as the central ring connecting them, allows for flawless circulation, guaranteeing inclusiveness of all parts into a single, new cultural hub. Here the library, with its central courtyard, becomes the center and focal point around which the school, auditorium, gym, cafeteria, and art school revolve.The circular volumes, which individually enclose one or more functions, not only negate the front-back hierarchy of mos...

Building a school in Mayotte means dealing with many issues on several levels in a very different way than here in Europe – educationally, but also socio-economically and ecologically. The small Comorian island of Mayotte, north of Madagascar, belongs to France and is part of the EU. Of the approximately 180,000 inhabitants, more than half are younger than 20. In view of the strong population growth and the resulting increase in the number of pupils, the outdated temporary multi-purpose secondary school needs to be replaced with new buildings. The architecture should meet the requirements and goals of a state school, but also consider the specific needs of young Mahorans. The adolescents and young adults need a framework that promotes...

The project is entitled The Journey and is inspired amongst other by James Turrell's work. “My desire is to set up a situation to which I take you and let you see. It becomes your experience.” 1   The International one-stage architecture ideas competition Site Chapel invited the contestants to develop and submit compelling ideas for the design of a Site Chapel located on the Pessegueiro Island, in Porto Covo, Portugal. “The Pessegueiro Island is located about 250 meters from the coastline, near the old fishing village of Porto Covo, in southwest Portugal. On the north side of the island, one can find the remarkable space of the old quarry where stone blocks were cut from the ground and thrown into the sea in order... More

Text description provided by the architects. In Gheisizadeh residential apartment project, our main effort was to provide the maximum possible outdoor space to the residents, while creating the maximum visual privacy from outside to inside. The initial idea was to create a flexible and variable building façade. The intention was to reach the desired result by changing the openings, "While giving the residents the right to choose their level of privacy".The effort was to, while respecting the introversion aspect of the residential units, consider implementing a terrace to protect the disturbing severe direct sunlight in summer and benefit from the sunlight in the cold weather of winter because of the warm and dry climate of Shiraz. As a resu... More

The goal of this project was to transform an existing storage on the roof of a residential apartment to a livable place. Considering the fact that existing space was very limited, design team initial concept was to incorporate all the residential required spaces in such a small space. Unlike the typical process of dividing the space into various spaces, and each space for one specific activity, 45 sqm. home offers one single space which changes constantly based on different functions and activities. The initial area of the project was 30 sqm in order to increase the space, we expanded the space toward the south edge of the building to achieve a 45 sqm. space and also a better exterior view. At the additional space, the roof was moved one me... More

Our response to the challenging architectural installation competition near one of the most important historic gardens “Afif Abad Garden” in Shiraz, Iran was PAUSE.PAUSE is the childish adventure feeling and inspiration that we have not experienced since so many years ago. PAUSE tries to revive the feelings that we have been ignored. Feeling of brick texture tactile; hearing the sound of our steps on the metal sheets, looking at the sky which we pass under of it every single day without any attention to it, not even trying to pause and enjoy watching it. Listening to the “water features located at the site”.PAUSE from the exterior is a cube that holds a suspended brick volume and this is adequate enough to incite the adventure and curiosity... More
