Eavesdropping the Future

And yet again, Do we need another physically built monument to choke mother Earth? Contrary to the magnitude and monumentality of the catastrophe, the proposal seeks a humble insight of the problem (climate change) that remains subdued from our conscious awareness. The journey of emotions from past, present, future brings a revolution for change.

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.

Moment of Stillness

Moment of Stillness is a speculative architectural thesis that explores how architecture can move beyond sustainability to become an active force for environmental regeneration. Set within South Africa's Vaal Triangle, the project reimagines abandoned industrial infrastructure as living systems capable of healing polluted landscapes. Through adaptive reuse, biomimicry, circular material systems, and speculative space manufacturing.

When the time comes, human beings will turn to respect and take power of nature for survival. A new aspect of architecture will be the driving tool for humanity to continue the race because "architecture is not just a building", but it is mechanisms of technology that mimic the ability of nature to serve the well-being of human life.

The site or heritage building is a seductive reminder of an apocalypse instead of faith and or complementing faith. The idea of movement works against and is paradoxical to functioning without being the parasite, e.g. it can adhere to another typology. Better visual vignettes well being would strengthen the experience.

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.

made of water.

We’ve been watching devastating realities, where unpredictable numbers of hectares are burned, countless people and animals lose their lives trapped by the fire and devastated by smoke. The Flames have brought darkness. And, it is up to us, beings of the present, to fight for such future. This is te power of an idea. made of water.

Bunkertecture

The existing doomsday houses are more concerned with the emergency role of disaster. When I was designing, I hoped that this community can operate daily. Participants must have certain skills and not just funds.Through the rotation system, residents need to provide a certain amount of work in planting, management and other aspects.

Super clear ambition, and well presented. This accepts the notion that what man touches is no longer "nature", while offering it in different packaging, and a place of constant change. A new version of a "Watts Tower", accumulating pieces and parts over time, a construction site of parts akin to Archigram....The ground plan is a helpful, though I would question the need for such idiosyncratic form. I would encourage more directly how all the senses are activated. Thought provoking.

The illusion of minimalism

This article addresses contemporary minimalism in architecture. It describes a shift from spatial intensification toward material and spatial neutralisation. It contrasts Miesian reduction with market-driven standardisation. It situates the argument through Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Zumthor and Koolhaas.

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.
