The MaCAD is a unique online programme training a new generation of architects, engineers and designers ready to develop skills into the latest softwares, computational tools, BIM technologies and AI towards innovation for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.
Bab al-Luq Market in Cairo was designed to be bright, legible, and hygienic—then decades of add-ons and wear turned it into a dim, confusing interior. This proposal makes one clear move: a parametric double-skin roof that diffuses daylight and defines a readable circulation spine. Location: Cairo, Egypt Climate: Hot, dry, sunny Typology: Historic market hall … Read more
Abstract Architecture is often defined by mass, weight, and permanence. But what happens when we design for the memory of a building rather than the building itself? Materia Assente explores the intersection of poetic parametric design and rigorous structural integrity. The project seeks to answer a complex question: How can we create a structure that … Read more
Design Concept | Horseshoe Crab–Inspired Lattice Structure Inspired by the exoskeleton of horseshoe crabs and the ITECH Research Pavilion 2024, this project explores a biomimetic lattice shell structure supported by discrete legs.A continuous mesh distributes loads efficiently across its surface, transferring forces to the ground through optimized supports.The parametrically generated lattice expresses structural performance, integrating … Read more
