Where is the water we use everyday comes from? I always ask myself this question. Water is the essential part for human as well as the ecosystem. But as the population and the scale of the cities grow, we are consuming more water than before. The traditional water resources in Catalunya are rivers, aquifers and … Read more
Support & scaffolding during consolidation of clay printing are quintessential to push the boundaries and capabilities of earthen architecture because, with said added support, opportunities for large spans, high arches, aggregated arches, and other structural phenomena arise. The options invented over time are diverse and, regardless of the used material, they can be very insightful … Read more

Abstract The concept of the project analyzed lays in its two main facades: made out of bricks, these show two variations of rotation. The first one takes into account some external curves that act as attractors, the other by rotating the bricks alternately by 45°. Building Overview This office building is placed in a residential … Read more
La Barceloneta is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Barcelona. This old fishermen’s neighborhood forms an inseparable entity with the beach of the same name and is synonymous with a lot of charm, food gastronomy, old traditional pubs and a very lively atmosphere. The aim of the proposal is to identify the streets that … Read more
Re-thinking ‘Serpentine Pavilion 2017 ‘ as a Media Pavilion that represents an idea of new communication. As a part of the task original pavilion was deconstructed into three main architectural elements: structure, roof and envelope. Each student in the group had to pick one element to re-design it and create a code. Design Analysis Elements … Read more
Design Analysis & Concept As the project brief required to reimagine the Serpentine Pavilion by Francis Kere, built in 2017 at the Serpentine Gallery in London, UK, the pavilion was deconstructed and analyzed into 3 of its major elements; the roof, the roof structure and the envelope. The main idea for the reimagination of the … Read more
Penda is a high-rise residential tower in Tel Aviv, featuring brick arches and cascading terraces influenced by the city’s Bauhaus era and the materiality of its Old Town. The 116 meter high scheme will house a range of one to four bedroom apartments, as well as double-height penthouses. The tower is designed in a modular … Read more
Final Project – Computational design seminar 22-23 The 2017 Serpentine Pavilion by Pritzker Prize winner Francis Kéré captivates through its simple geometry that’s charged with increasing complexity at the detail level. The logic of the structure seems very much reminiscent of the concepts and processes that we got to know in this computation class. The … Read more
Darkhan Kadirov Introduction Computational design is not just a tool, but a different approach to the idea of design itself. in past times, it was available only to a few people, but in our time, there is an opportunity for everyone to use it to materialize their thoughts. During this recreate, I took the idea … Read more
ABSTRACT. This project aims to rethink the Serpentine Pavilion, designed by Francis Kére. The approach used in this design was to study possible kinetic properties that could be applied to the 2017 project, while maintaining its general shape and layout. The original pavilion takes wide advantage of local solar, wind and rain characteristics, this proposal … Read more
Abstract The project aims to recreate and redesign the pavilion while taking advantageof computational tools to reiterate and at the same time be tangential to the essence of the pavilion. Francis Kéré’s 2017 Serpentine pavilion is conceived as a micro cosmos. Promoting a sense of freedom and community. Inspired by the tree that serves a central … Read more
Parametric facades BRIEF: The aim of this assignment is to choose an existing building with a parametric facade from anywhere in the world and recreate the facade on the rhino using grasshopper algorithms. This undertaking would involve breaking down the chosen facade to comprehend the logic behind its creation and using computational tools to model … Read more
Location: Piazza Guglielmo Marconi 42100 Reggio Nell’ Emilia, Italy Architect: Santiago Calatrava Year: 2002-2014 Material: White steel 00_ABSTRACT The aim of the exercise is to recreate a parametric facade. First, we extract the geometry logic behind the facade and then we use computational tools in order to modeling the building. 01_ INTRODUCTION The new station … Read more
We were assigned to recreate the Serpentine Pavilion 2017 by Francis Kéré, which consists of three main architectural elements: structure, roof and envelope. Each of us was responsible for one of the elements that were homologue and harmonious when assembled together in a final code. We applied what we’ve learned from this Computational Design course … Read more
Location: University in Groningen, Netherlands Designed by: UN Studio Original Facade Components Facade A deceptively simple envelope constructed from flat, vertical aluminum slats, which, in places, are twisted outwards in bowed forms. Tall, vertical undulations are generated, which present an open or a closed aspect depending on the angle under which they are viewed. This … Read more
