A self-buring house that uses its inclined roof to deflect wind, control processes of erosion and increase accumulation of local sand particles. Through time, a covering sand dune affects the level of enclosure, transparency of the house and patterns of the shadows’ internal spaces. The aim of the project was to design a housing building to house between 20 and … Read more
This computational design project aims to inform a decision regarding a design problem that we run into in our Self-Sufficient Buildings course. The problem is to identify an optimal ratio between the height and number of “sand stoppers” on the roof of a budling that is built to be buried by sand over time. Our … Read more

Before the implementation of Cerda’s radical expansion plan, Barcelona was bound by their medieval walls and making every effort to accommodate its overflowing population. Cerda’s plan took into account scientific objectives that would create a city that is not just a well planned co-habiting space but also user-centric. Some of his objectives were gardens in … Read more

Finding Best Location for maximum view Finding the shortest path
Genetic Optimization: Assignment 3 The project aims to provide the most optimal solution to maximize the shading of this housing project. The algorithm reflects the process of natural selection where each individuals are selected for the reproduction in order to produce descendant of the next generation. Through the exploration of Ladybug and Galapagos, we can … Read more
Manifest A monolithic tower structure which is exposed to lightning and attracts their immense energy. The aim of the project is to harvest and invest their electric potential into a structure which will be sheltered and protected to allow visitors to live in. The skin of the building will be lightning-based: the high voltage discharges … Read more
MANIFEST Alambique is an innovative housing project that explores the experience and integration of heat and water systems. The design revolves around a central core, which serves as the structural support and houses the vertical pipes responsible for moving up hot vapor. Surrounding the core are the bedroom, bathroom, living area, and kitchen, all constructed … Read more
Aperture Building This project is based on a design that was developed in the Self-Sufficient Buildings studio.Main concerns: visibility of surrounding site and sun exposure.Using Grasshopper, we were able to optimize the structure’s placement on the site and shape in relation to visibility and solar radiation.Phase 1: SiteThe first objective was to optimize the structure’s … Read more
Abstract In the current era the “future” becomes an increasingly uncertain question. Huge projects are being built right now all over the world supported mainly on the interests of Real Estate speculation. This capitalist driven urban expansion relies on a specific typology: the Skyscraper. Simultaneously, the world population continues to increase, focusing on the urban. … Read more
