Absent Architecture
Architecture defined by what is removed, transformed, or exists in potential rather than physical form.
The illusion of permanence: the design for disassembly framework
Traditional architecture’s focus on permanence overlooks the environmental constraints of climate urgency. Design for Disassembly (DfD) challenges this by planning buildings to be dismantled, reused, or relocated. This thesis investigates the ecological and socio-economic potentials of DfD, exploring how modularity and reversible connections shape future-oriented construction. Shifting focus from building to responsibly unbuilding redefines permanence for a sustainable lifecycle.
Earth Side: Between the Ground and the Returning Body
Loss is not life’s interruption but its condition. This research reimagines the hospice in Montagu, Western Cape, as a threshold rather than a terminus, mediating private, communal and inherited grief. In a South Africa where apartheid’s death geographies still shape who dies with dignity, access to care remains uneven. Moving beyond clinical models, the project foregrounds emotional, spiritual and ancestral dimensions of dying, positioning architecture as an act of care, repair and passage.

Fast forward to the FUTURE
Architecture has the power of empowerment people in their cities, their lives and relations. Architecture is not for pasts, it is for the Future. In this project we try to create the participation spaces for people to use. We inspiring existing layers on the site to memorable space and times. A Grand Arc of Aleppo is refer to the past and is for the Future.
Tnx
😍
i love this project, but it won't fit in aleppo.
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.
Amazing presentation and excellent research!
Amazing job
Outstanding craftsmanship and precision.

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.
I find the idea of industrializing housing construction to deal with an emergency very interesting, but taking this idea to reality the cost of the rail system seems too expensive for this type of housing
👌👌👌
The sensitive city
Grounded in architectural phenomenology, this article investigates the sensory foundations of urban experience, showing how the body, place, and memory shape the identity of the city beyond contemporary planning paradigms.
New Babylon II
New Babylon II aims to develop a highly circuitry plugin housing network of a miniature and autonomous city with machine tectonics. It discusses about a technological utopia of how human being, ecology and technology can come together to reject the housing shortage and the social inequality.

A 101-square-meter post-war flat in Prague trades rigid partitions for a single rotated furniture block, curtains, and glass concrete.
Space Encounters Crowns a 1980s Dutch House with Corrugated Aluminum and Geometric Apertures
On a water-ringed plot in Broek op Langedijk, a restrained renovation transforms a forgettable brick house into a taut, arcadian composition.

Good job, But Japanese words in the title?!

really cool I have to say
I appreciated the great visualizations and aesthetics of the proposal. However, the shape should be designed corresponding more to your idea. The existence of walls are especially important for this proposal which should be designed more carefully.
Transcendence
Transcendence.. Is an attempt to capture the city from an alternative perspective, or a set of perspectives. following the narrative of three characters, moving from the perception of the city, to the transformative experience of the building reaching for the final conclusion of each of the three characters in their search for transcendence.
Between Memory and Oblivion: Mourning courses
The present senior thesis addresses the creation of a refugee cemetery on the island of Lesvos. Placing great emphasis on notions such as memory, loss and mourning, we try to design this peculiar burial ground. Collective memory and private memory are united in a transitional space, where one is being prepared for what is to follow.
Collective-pod
The project aims for spaces and groups that are in disconnection from each other to interact on the intersections of alpha-beta-gamma world cities.The intersections that have the traced traces generate a holistic urban network by creating three equivalent situations within the city. The mentioned traces do not always occur with physical dimensions; sometimes
Great!
places look very enjoyable, I would love to be there.--
Really like this one ! suitable with geometry of container , functional and funny :) I wanna go to party there ..
very interesting
