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.

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.

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
ECOPOLIS. NEW CITY IN THE SAKHALIN REGION
With its strategic location North of Japan, and Northern shipping routes between Asia and Europe becoming more relevant due to climate change, the far eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation, Sakhalin, plays a progressively more important role in the global economy.

The 600-mile-long island plans to be Russia’s first carbon neutral region by 2025. To prepare for this role, the region has invited four bespoke planning teams to develop the concept for a new trade hub and eco city in the region, providing residence for 35 000 inhabitants. To develop the city, TSPA partnered with Wowhaus (RU), Nomura Research Institute (JP), and the Scientific Research Institute of Ecology and Sustainable Ma... More
