Extrude elements from the anchor points to create structural support Use parametric … Read more
922 provides shade and a relaxing space for students in response to the sunny rooftop environment. The design process involved experimenting with different shapes and structures using parametric modeling, ensuring stability while keeping the form visually interesting. The pavilion was developed through several design iterations, considering factors like load distribution and connection points. The final … Read more
Abstract Perpetua is a pavilion that embodies fluidity, continuity, and movement. Inspired by the dynamic energy of Plaça Nova, its overlapping curves rise and intertwine, forming three distinct yet connected pathways that invite exploration. The name “Perpetua”, meaning perpetual and unending, reflects the seamless transition of space, where geometry and motion merge into an evolving … Read more
– Introduction: Echo de Rut Plaça de la Virreina: -Plaça de la Virreina exists in a delicate tension between past and present, a space where history is not a relic but a rhythm. At its core stand two silent yet commanding sentinels: the Church of Saint Joan and the Font de Rut. These are not … Read more
A Fluid Dialogue Between Light, Space, and Movement. Luzarca is a lightweight architectural pavilion that merges computational design, structural efficiency, and urban interaction. Its undulating mesh canopy creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, shifting throughout the day. Designed for modularity, it is easily assembled, disassembled, and relocated, emphasizing sustainability. The pavilion fosters movement … Read more
CONCEPT Plaça de George Orwell, a historically and socially complex urban space in Barcelona, serves as the foundation for our pavilion, Nestscape. Inspired by the triangular geometry of the plaza, the design emerges as a modular, porous canopy that interacts with human and avian movement alike. The pavilion responds to the site’s historical evolution—from a contested public … Read more
Master in Advanced Architecture Computational Design Seminar Yetkin Demir / Giovanny Gordillo SITE Placa De Sant Felip Neri is a small square located in the Gothic quarter. Bearing scars from the Spanish Civil War in 1938, this plaza holds a tragic past. Surrounded by the church and mixed use buildings, this square serves as a … Read more
This project is a journey into the fusion of digital design, biomimetic structures, and fabrication logic. Inspired by natural patterns and organic growth, the pavilion emerges as a seamless blend of computational precision and artistic expression. Concept Development – Finding Inspiration The initial spark for this pavilion came from observing organic growth patterns found in … Read more
Abstract Urban noise pollution significantly impacts public health and quality of life, necessitating innovative approaches for its analysis and visualization. This study employs Computational methods to examine and represent urban soundscapes by integrating spatial analysis, sound propagation modelling, and digital visualization techniques. The methodology involves categorizing urban tourist activities, and amenities in Barcelona, based on … Read more
