Monsoon Nest is a modular housing proposal for Bangkok that responds to monsoon rainfall, flooding, and high-density urban conditions. The project explores adaptable modules, elevated structures, and passive climate strategies to create resilient, community-oriented living environments in a tropical context. The design of Monsoon Nest is informed by four primary parameters: contextual environmental data, parametric … Read more
Design Ethos This project seeks to explore how issues of stagnation and obsolescence can be tackled whilst still enabling socio-economic and technological developments of our urban spaces. It will explore how they can be applied within architecture to evaluate how we can more effectively address issues of erasure whilst still permitting modern interventions and advancements … Read more

Abstract Perpetua is a pavilion that embodies fluidity, continuity, and movement. Inspired by the dynamic energy of Plaça Nova, its overlapping curves rise and intertwine, forming three distinct yet connected pathways that invite exploration. The name “Perpetua”, meaning perpetual and unending, reflects the seamless transition of space, where geometry and motion merge into an evolving … Read more
CRONOLOGÍA HIPÓTESIS El caso de estudio presenta un escenario complejo y dinámico, caracterizado por un crecimiento acelerado y no planificado impulsado por el auge de la industria hidrocarburífera. Esta industria ha generado un incremento de la cantidad de población residente como la pendular, y también ha generado una demanda sin precedentes de servicios e infraestructuras … Read more
Introduction The Parametric Nexus project represents a forward-thinking approach to high-rise construction, where sustainability is at the forefront. With its use of advanced materials like glass, steel, and concrete, the project aims to minimize environmental impacts through a comprehensive Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA). This blog explores the rationale, methods, and key findings of this … Read more
Abstract By the year 2025, there will be 200+ zettabytes of data in cloud storage. The servers handling this cloud storage space live in data centers. Since we live in the era of data, demand is surging, in fact, a 50% growth is expected by 2030. Data centers are energy consuming monsters, hence their lifecycle … Read more
