Orbital Nimbus

From Architectural Object to Polycentric Urban MorphologyArestea’s the "Orbital Nexus" typology, initially characterized in the designs as a singular, multifunctional complex defined by radial symmetry and fluid verticality, presents a compelling framework for scalar expansion into larger urban ensembles. Moving beyond the distinct architectural object, this paradigm offers a blueprint for a new urban morphology. By extrapolating the core tenets of the Nimbus—specifically its centrifugal organization, biomorphic form, and layered connectivity—one can envision coherent districts that challenge traditional rectilinear gridding in favour of a fluid, polycentric urbanism. Arestea At the macro-scale, the singular radial p... More

Lynx Drone Station

Architect Alina Sanina has developed Lynx, a conceptual drone station designed to support search-and-rescue operations and eco-tourism across remote mountain landscapes. The project imagines a new architectural typology where drones, visitors, and natural terrain operate within a shared high-altitude ecosystem. Follow u Home Conceived for environments where steep terrain limits mobility — including the Carpathians, Alps and Pyrenees — the scheme introduces a network of autonomous outposts that combine drone technology with public-facing facilities.Each Lynx station acts as a hub for drone storage, charging, maintenance and flight coordination. Depending on its location, the circular structure could also incorporate a plane... More

Football Academy Museum

1. CONCEPTUAL PREMISE – “THE AXIS OF LEGACY”A longitudinal axis of water–reflection is proposed, which organizes the access, generates a ceremonial sequence between the city and the museum, and symbolizes the formative flow of the Academy (from the past to the present and to the future). The museum is articulated around this axis: front access/reception, exhibition halls and trophies next to the canal; the multipurpose room (SUM), auditorium, and services at the back; cafeteria/store with terrace. cesu studio design cesu studio design cesu studio design cesu studio design 2.

Fons Aeternae

"E vidi lume in forma di rivera fulvido di fulgore, intra due rive dipinte di mirabil primavera." Dante Alighieri, Divina Commedia, Paradiso, Canto XXX Driven by the aspiration to achieve the materialization of immaterial, to render perceptible the intangible, this generative architectural manifestation grapples with the fundamental question of how finite human consciousness can apprehend the infinite and ethereal. Transcending mere shelter, Fons Aeternae strives to become a spatial expression of transcendence itself. Arestea Drawing inspiration from Neo-Platonic emanation, Fons Aeternae posits existence as a perpetual outflow from a singular, radiant source. Its structures embodying this principle of emanation, suggest both origi... More

Marine Meadows

Designed through generative method, the aquatic architectural ensemble is nestled upon a series of small, artificial islands forming a lavish archipelago.  Caption Drawing inspiration from the sinuous beauty of natural shapes, the organic forms of the complex gracefully blend with the surrounding picturesque seascapes. A harmonious interplay of curved and fluid structures comes to life, echoing the gentle undulations of waves and the elegant dance of marine life beneath. Caption In an era of changing global temperatures and shifting ecosystems, Marine Meadows arises as an architectural synthesis, transcending the traditional realms of human habitats. Here the vibrant gardens, green roofs and terraces organically meld with t... More

Eudeon - Glimpses of the Future City

An imaginary city, digital capriccio, created through generative method (Stable Diffusion) - the concept represents a possible scenario for the future city. Arestea Eudeon embodies a profound synthesis of nature and technology, where the architectural fabric embraces the harmony of the natural habitat, where the dwellers enjoy a high quality of life and a low environmental impact. The cityscape thrives within a meticulously planned ecosystem, where lush parklands and canals are harmoniously integrating with urban environment and omnipresent technology, a living system that adapts to the needs and preferences of its residents and visitors. This is the vision of Eudeon, a futuristic ecopolis concept that combines the best of both worlds... More
