TLAPALTEOTL : The Lake That Refused to Die
Lake Texcoco once cradled Tenochtitlan, the heart of Mexica civilisation. Today barely 5 percent of that water remains, drained not by natural decline but by centuries of colonial drainage that read the lake as a threat rather than sacred ground. What followed was subsidence, salinity, and a city that learned to forget the water beneath it. Sited at the out
A strong and original proposal that connects cultural memory with ecological regeneration through a clear architectural strategy.

The Rain
This master’s thesis reinterprets the Shenzhen Opera House brief, reimagining it as an open civic landscape shaped by the concept of “Rain,” where Shenzhen’s subtropical climate becomes a spatial system that dissolves the boundary between architecture and public space.
What a remarkable project!!!Making rain the central design concept gives it a truly unique identity and beautifully strengthens the building`s connection ti its natural surroundings!
I find the use of the water elements in the design of the buildings and the landscape very unique and inspiring
The element of rain, by the seaside, especially continuing inside the building, is an amazing idea. Inspiration and creativity beyond the usual!
UnIATA '25
The finest graduation projects from around the globe
Palimpsest of Play and Pedagogy
The project emerges from the intersection of three critical issues: the lack of child-friendly spaces in traditional madrasas, the shortage of recreational spaces for the surrounding community, and the ongoing challenge of conserving an important historic structure.
A thoughtful and compelling adaptive reuse proposal. The way the project connects heritage conservation with children's play and learning, commerce, and community life is particularly strong. It offers a convincing reinterpretation of the historic caravanserai as a living part of the contemporary neighborhood
Well done! Keep up the excellent work!

Deep concept. Philosophical, visionary, and speculative. Love it!!
This visionary project transcends conventional architectural paradigms, intertwining the epochs of human existence within its structural narrative. By enshrining collective memory, it fosters a dialogue between past legacies and future aspirations. Philosophically, it challenges our perceptions of temporality, emphasizing technology not as an end but as a means to connect more profoundly with the cosmos. The endeavor resonates with the essence of Heidegger’s 'Building Dwelling Thinking', suggesting architecture as a space where humanity and universe meet. In this monument, we are invited to reflect on our place in time and space, celebrating both our technological advancements and our timeless human spirit.
Wow, thanks for your comment, it is very profound. I had never thought of Heidegger's quote when working on this project, but his "Die Frage nach der Technik" has influenced me a lot, leading me to reflect on technology in this project as a cosmology rather than a being itself. Thanks again for this comment
