The Interlocking Beam

Back to the Future– A circular construction prototype using gathered wood elements. Test Setup Type of load The test was setup to handle a single point load. The beam was raised on top of 2 concrete blocks and load applied to the center. Interlocking and Stacking– The Interlocking joinery was conceptualized along with stacking where … Read more

ADAPTIVE ATMOSPHERE LAB

Adaptive Atmosphere Lab

This project explores how light can respond to human emotions through biosignals. The main goal is to design an adaptive architectural space where lighting changes according to the user’s physiological data, such as EEG, ECG, and GSR. Instead of using light only for visibility, this research treats light as an empathic interface between the human … Read more

Inhabiting the Edge

A Model for Connected Stewardship Context The Montseny landscape is shaped by terraced slopes, a system that historically functioned as both agricultural infrastructure and ecological stabilization. These terraces were carefully constructed to retain soil, slow water, and create productive microclimates along steep terrain. Stone walls regulate moisture. Layered planting stabilizes slopes. In this system, humans … Read more

LAGOON RESCUE

Lagoon Rescue is an interactive spatial platform that examines the resilience of coastal lagoon systems under climatic and human-induced pressures by simulating how sediment deficit, storm intensity, salinity intrusion, and wetland degradation drive ecological instability, and how targeted interventions can influence lagoon stability over time. Simulation Interaction The platform functions as a decision-making interface that … Read more

The Stabbing Simulator 🔪🔪🔪

After years in which machines have served humans, supported them, and simplified their lives, we have finally created something different. Designed not to help, but to deceive humans (oh, how stupid they can be!) and annoy them with technological mischief. My personal reflection: Throughout the two weeks of Unpacking Tech Systems, I went through a … Read more

ReSchool Ukraine

ReSchool Ukraine develops fast-build 3D-printed educational centers to support reconstruction in war-affected regions. Traditional construction is too slow and labour-intensive to meet urgent educational needs. Our modular 3D-printed classrooms can be built in 3–4 weeks, using 60–70% less onsite labour and lower-carbon materials. In 2025, we aim to launch three pilot projects with municipalities and … Read more

Ventilation for Printed Earth Wet State

The drying process is a mass transfer, it removes water or another solvent from a material through evaporation, which is driven by simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Heat is transferred to the material, causing the liquid to evaporate at the surface, and a carrier gas or vacuum removes the vapor from the material’s vicinity. Common … Read more
