Tierra Potencia

A space for human driven by human On a planetary scale, these dynamics of solar heating, infrared cooling, and moisture transport create global patterns in climate. This study explores how temperature and humidity generated through human exertion at different activity levels can be passively regulated to create adaptive microclimates tailored to occupant circadian rhythms and … Read more

KOMA

can robots and humans work hand in (hand) to create beautiful architecture? KOMA is a contemplative space, designed to be set in the landscape and allow for peaceful viewing, the form of KOMA is parametric and is able to sway with the wind through the use of tensile cables. The vertical timber elements were placed … Read more
