Building prototypes involves creating physical models and constructed spaces to explore architectural concepts and design solutions. This process allows designers to test materials, spatial relationships, and structural systems before full-scale implementation.

The community documents projects ranging from experimental living spaces and material transformations to completed buildings that demonstrate innovative stacking strategies, natural ventilation systems, and adaptive spatial arrangements. Members share work that captures both the construction process and the outcomes of prototypical thinking in architecture.

NomadHouse - Under Construction

In response to this increasingly fast-paced contemporary era with increasingly blurred boundaries between home and work, we have been thinking about what is the most suitable way for digital nomads to live today. Through the design of vehicles as residential units, we hope to create a building with the ever-changing preferences.

BUILD|APP

BUILD|APP offers the user the opportunity to learn and experience architecture with main actions such as generation, modification, conversion. It provides the opportunity to see and experience the construction of the spaces designed by the user and the construction process of the designs with the application and robotic arms that will enable to make-produce.

Harmony at the junction of opposites

The basic concept of the project is as follows: "Harmony at the junction of opposites." The word "harmony" is fundamental in the idea of the project, as it sounds in one of the objectives of the competition: harmony of nature and technology, also in the Penrose mosaic grid, the principle of "golden section," that is, compositional balance is laid.

Postindustrial Lighthouse

Inspired by movement of air and water, as well as industrial character of oil rigs, Postindustrial Lighthouse has emerged. Prefabricated, modular boxes, by multiplication and protrusion, create engaging space that encourages visitors to explore the building and sink into a world of contemporary art.

House factory

Bauhaus was about design for everyone, philosophy was encouraged by mass production and not restricted by it. House factory is following those principles by producing house prototypes which are available for everyone, and allowing eve-ryone who is interested to participate in creating process. The main goal is to stop spreading wide range of i

OCTA-TOWER

Our proposal focuses on the prevention of expiration in architecture. Through the arrangement of modular slices, we have created dwelling units that can be updated or replaced individually throughout time. These units can be connected and stacked to adapt and grow into a large structure. We have fully designed one unit in detail to represent our proposal.

BICYCART

BICYCART is a cart designed for China's post covid-19 era which constitutes a new design by deconstructing and reorganizing the existing waste materials. The modular design ensures the high customization, high mobility and high flexibility of the cart. The main material of the cart is reconstructed from the widely abandoned sharing bike-Mobike in China
