Ardavan Shelter

The Ardalan Project explores computational design through a custom parametric parapet system. Geometric rules control repetition, variation, dimensions, and component relationships, creating a flexible workflow that connects architectural intent with optimization, fabrication requirements, and final form.

The Prometheus Mission

The project not only serves as the first human settlement, but also a monumental project about the present, the future, and the past of human settlement. It embodies timelessness and celebrates the use of speculative technology. It serves as a constant reminder of the essential purpose of technology and our interconnectedness with the universe.

Deep concept. Philosophical, visionary, and speculative. Love it!!

This visionary project transcends conventional architectural paradigms, intertwining the epochs of human existence within its structural narrative. By enshrining collective memory, it fosters a dialogue between past legacies and future aspirations. Philosophically, it challenges our perceptions of temporality, emphasizing technology not as an end but as a means to connect more profoundly with the cosmos. The endeavor resonates with the essence of Heidegger’s 'Building Dwelling Thinking', suggesting architecture as a space where humanity and universe meet. In this monument, we are invited to reflect on our place in time and space, celebrating both our technological advancements and our timeless human spirit.

Wow, thanks for your comment, it is very profound. I had never thought of Heidegger's quote when working on this project, but his "Die Frage nach der Technik" has influenced me a lot, leading me to reflect on technology in this project as a cosmology rather than a being itself. Thanks again for this comment

The Rain

This master’s thesis reinterprets the Shenzhen Opera House brief, reimagining it as an open civic landscape shaped by the concept of “Rain,” where Shenzhen’s subtropical climate becomes a spatial system that dissolves the boundary between architecture and public space.

Christina Pilaftsi

What a remarkable project!!!Making rain the central design concept gives it a truly unique identity and beautifully strengthens the building`s connection ti its natural surroundings!

I find the use of the water elements in the design of the buildings and the landscape very unique and inspiring

The element of rain, by the seaside, especially continuing inside the building, is an amazing idea. Inspiration and creativity beyond the usual!
