Blue footprint

This project explores the impact of drought on urban water stress in Barcelona, where declining reservoir levels pose critical challenges. By visualizing key indicators—such as consumption per population, per land use and income—we aim to identify the main stress factors. Understanding these dynamics will help inform strategies to mitigate the long-term effects of drought and … Read more

Urban Insights: Leveraging Open Data for Smart Property Rate Predictions

1.0 Concept In the evolving landscape of urban development, property rates are influenced by numerous factors, including geographical, socio-economic, and infrastructural elements. Our project, “Urban Insights: Leveraging Open Data for Smart Property Rate Predictions,” aims to create an intelligent, data-driven model to forecast property rates. This model utilizes features such as wards, property types, and … Read more

Augmented & Mixed Reality

This studio explores the possibility of using AR in architecture with Unity. Living parts is a thesis focusing on the use of Biomaterials in Architectural Elements to sequester environmental carbon dioxide. Unity is used here to map the data from the CO2 sensor to Unity and see the data collected with the help of a … Read more

WindWave

Wind Wave is a secondary facade system engineered in response to the escalating environmental demands faced by our planet. Climate change is resulting in an increase in heat waves, with some reaching lethal intensities. As global temperatures rise, reliance on air conditioning systems has surged. However, these systems exacerbate external environmental heating by expelling hot … Read more

LEED MiniConsultant

The whole AEC industry is challenged by the high CO2 footprint caused by the increasing population and construction. Introducing regulations to the construction industry is a solution to reduce CO2 footprint. The workflow behind Leed mini consultant goes as follows: starting with gathering the regulation in a dataset and setting it up, training a rag … Read more

growing garden

The intent of this project is to design and optimize a greenhouse located in an area with a pressing need for sustainable agriculture and challenging climatic conditions. The building aims to enhance local food security, improve agricultural productivity, and provide a controlled environment for growing diverse plant species year-round. The optimization focuses on maximizing sunlight … Read more

THF / PIXEL-HOF

Pixel-Hof reimagines Tempelhof, Berlin’s iconic 386-hectare airport, into a vibrant, sustainable urban oasis while addressing the housing crisis. Our innovative project weaves modular homes and dynamic activity spaces into a responsive pixelated grid, honoring the site’s historic spirit. Extending and morphing the existing plot grid to the site’s unique forms, we create conservation zones and … Read more

THF/PARK-LOOP

Tempelhofer Revamp: Confronting Berlin’s Housing Dilemma Tempelhofer Feld, once a bustling airfield, holds a significant place in Berlin’s rich and complex history. Originally opened in 1923, Tempelhof Airport was one of the world’s first commercial airports and played a critical role during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949, when Allied forces supplied West Berlin amidst the … Read more

Assembled Curves

This project focuses on exploration of Singly/Doubly Curved Geometries  through combination of Topological Interlocking & Post-tensioning of Tetrahedral Local Geometries. The said Global Geometries are achieved through enclosed assemblages from the smallest number of discrete components; i.e. One(1) in the case of Doubly Curved Surfaces & Two(2) for Singly Curved Surfaces.  Fitness Objectives 1.  Constant Curvature … Read more
