Chill.Point

Inspirations Chill.Point is a lightweight timber and fabric pavilion designed for Plaça Universitat, creating a shaded urban pause within the city. Inspired by exposed timber frames and tensile scaffold structures, it combines structural clarity with soft, breathable enclosure. Using computational and parametric design tools, the pavilion responds to sun, wind, and pedestrian flow, optimizing geometry, … Read more

the Proxy Pods

a Rooftop Lounge for Staff and Students Concept A series of digitally fabricated modular timber egg pods surrounded by physics-simulated tensile elements. A hexagonal structural system supports intimate enclosures, a suspended hammock, and a tensile canopy, forming clear gradients of privacy within one cohesive framework. Pseudo-code Parameter Playground Catalogue Pod Options Testing polygon scale options … Read more

MetaBlock

Assembled Architecture Seminar Faculty: Andrea GrazianoFaculty Assistant: Nitsan Mor, Shrey Kapur Our project explores how architectural intention can be translated into computational logic through the construction of rule-based assemblages. Instead of designing form directly, we designed decision systems. Component Design and Random Assemblages Custom Assemblage Method Filtration Logic The process begins with a filtration logic … Read more

Syntactic Assemblage

This project explores the computational assembly of components to form a multi-functional complex. By translating configurations into graphs, we applied Space Syntax logic to evaluate three key values : Depth, Integration, and Choice. The optimal architecture was selected based on the balanced symmetry of these indices. Finally, these analytical values directly guided the spatial programming, … Read more

MIRADOR

After Gaudi Seminar2025 / 2026 Narrative El Mirador funciona como un instrumento espacial que marca tres referencias : el mar Mediterráneo, la Sagrada Familia y Montjuïc, estableciendo un diálogo entre estructura, geometría, expresión material y paisaje. Siguiendo la estrategia de encuadre de la Casa Milà, donde la Sagrada Familia se plasma mediante una abertura arquitectónica … Read more

After Gaudi – Façade

This project develops a parametric façade system inspired by the geometric logic of the Sagrada Família sacristy, translating Gaudí’s generative principles into a contemporary computational workflow. The tower form emerges from iterative transformations of a radial geometry using ruled surfaces and rotational operations, producing a continuous structure defined by gradual variation. A diamond-based grid organizes … Read more

HiveNet: Pollinators as Environmental Monitors

This project explores how ecological monitoring can be integrated into rural economies through beekeeping in the Ebro Delta region, with a focus on the upstream village of Benifallet. Bees naturally collect pollen from surrounding vegetation, and the composition of this pollen reflects local plant diversity and environmental conditions. By equipping beehives with simple sensors and … Read more

Lifecycle of a Landslide

THE GREAT HIMALAYAN TERRAINKinnaur lies in the Middle to Higher Himalayas, one of India’s most landslide-prone regions, while also functioning as a critical ecological transition zone between temperate, sub-alpine, and cold desert ecosystems. The Sutlej valley acts as both a human infrastructure corridor and a biological movement corridor.         News reports show … Read more
