About Discussions Projects56 Journals8 Publications7

Bodies and Buildings examines how architecture shapes and responds to physical and psychological experience. The topic considers how spaces are inhabited, transformed, and perceived through embodied interaction.

The community explores themes of decay and renewal, spatial voids and fragmentation, emotional responses to environments, and the intersection of cinema, memory, and built form. Work ranges from investigations of waste and impermanence to designs for specific bodies and developmental stages.

CUBE(ish)

People are in a rush between their home and workplaces. They sometimes miss the opportunity to pause, look around and feel good. At this point in-between spaces (between home and workplace) in cities draw attention. Our concept is an in-between space which creates an escape point from daily rush.

THE VOID

Athenaeum is the place of the architect's dream about architecture. Architecture is a critique of accumulation. The architect criticizes this and architecture establishes this critique?s space. Space can be designed and established using ocean's fluidity, rather than encountering a space created by the design of the boundaries.

It is estimated that in 2045 the land needed for burials around the world would come to an end. There is no archetypal form for a cemetery, so this design would create one such structure.

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.
