Reassembling matter. Rethinking structures. The construction industry generates billions of tones of construction and demolition waste every year, yet most of this material remains excluded from structural applications due to its irregularity, unpredictability, and incompatibility with conventional building systems. Granulith investigates an alternative approach, asking whether demolition waste can be transformed from a discarded by-product … Read more
This thesis explores how biosignals can transform artificial light into an adaptive architectural interface. While light strongly affects human emotions, cognition, and well-being, most lighting systems still rely on manual control and cannot respond to users in real time. The research investigates how EEG, ECG, and GSR data can be used to create dynamic lighting … Read more
Turning time-tested vernacular intelligence into scalable, multi-hazard self sufficient building INTRODUCTION See this image above? yes, its comparison between two structures that survived a 6.8 rector scale earthquake in year 2005. The ironic part is , that these vernacular structures hold the carbon friendly intelligence responding towards climate adaptation and structural resistance against earthquakes, yet … Read more
