About Discussions Projects43 Journals32 Publications5

Absent architecture explores design through negation, absence, and transformation. Rather than adding elements, this approach considers what is taken away, reimagined, or held in reserve as fundamental to spatial experience and meaning.

The community examines projects that dissolve boundaries between rooms, resurrect forgotten structures, adapt spaces to changing needs, and challenge conventional notions of what architecture must contain. Work ranges from radical interior interventions to adaptive reuse that honors temporal layers within buildings.

Take a moving box, take it apart, give a function to each side, and create the desired layout for the next chapter of your life, and change it it when it needs to be refreshed.This idea is realized by “using 3d-printers and modular wall-to-wall construction”, which can have a great impact on the construction of high-speed post-earthquake housing.

An Architectural Project for the City:Achieving Absolute Architecture via Autonomy

This thesis reclaims architecture as an autonomous force which deconstructs dominant political narratives and address the unequivocal social & cultural power that architecture posseses to produce exemplary forms of architecture, which thereby become absolute . It is to establish that making the form is thus the real program of architecture.

a home exploded, vol. 4

A Home Exploded communicates that a home bears identity with what its inhabitants chose to fill it with: memories, traumas, possessions, people, etc. A house cannot be a home without its host.
