Flexible modular accommodation system in repurposed existing buildings for refugees in Germany
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

a harmonious integration of natural processes, technological design, and human (dis)comfort. The Location
The proposed vision for Tempelhof is articulated as a ‘city within a city’ arranged along the two airstrips of the former airport, extending perpendicularly to emphasise a dual directionality. Buildings are conceived as flexible micro-communities built on organic/biodegradable materials, with the possibility of growing or ‘de-growing’ through time.The design strategy aims to trigger a need … Read more
From parts to purpose – embracing circularity by redefining furniture composition Problem In contemporary furniture markets there is a problem of the environmental impact caused by inefficient design, excessive waste generation, and unsustainable consumption. Results are overproduction, resource depletion, and high carbon emissions during production processes. Additionally, limited design solutions don’t fully meet user needs, … Read more
Context Inter Disciplinary In this project, we explore the intersection of digital nomadism, autonomous mobility, and AI-enabled sensing technology. Inspired by thinkers like Tsugio Makimoto, Pierluigi Coppola, and Tim Ferriss, we aim to create an autonomous living space that supports a mobile, remote work lifestyle. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the rise of digital nomadism, … Read more
