Cultural Center in Szczecin as a reinterpretation of industrial space
This project revitalizes Szczecin’s Jaskółcza Island into a Cultural Center. Reinterpreting its 19th-century post-industrial heritage via parametric design, it creates an inclusive public space. It acts as a social catalyst, reintegrating the degraded waterfront into the city while preserving its genius loci.
A strong and well-resolved project that successfully reinterprets Szczecin’s industrial heritage as a contemporary cultural center. The contextual research, public realm, environmental strategies, flexible exhibition system, and connection to the waterfront are particularly convincing. The project establishes a clear relationship between the industrial character of the site and its new architectural identity. Further critical development of the locomotive-inspired form could make the architectural concept even more distinctive. Overall, a mature and coherent architectural proposal.

This thesis reimagines Darukhana — Mumbai’s historic shipbreaking hub — through an urban intervention that connects community, industry, and heritage.

Le Monstre de Clignancourt
While the metropolis of Paris is reaching for the skies to accomodate an increasing population and urban density, it is distanced from the soils on which it is founded. The monster reveals the abnormality of the urban voids and the creatures living in it, by providing light in the photosynthetic spectrum and shelter for inclusive activities to take place.
Economy of means gives a surprising result.
The concept of the floating surface could work if it incorporates both conections to the city and new spaces within it shelves.
Overall an inspiring idea

Progetto Ancora.
Beneath the asphalt, a century of industry poisoned the ground that feeds the lagoon. We remove the roads. Not to beautify. To begin. Hyperaccumulator plants draw poison from the earth, one slow season at a time. Buildings stop at their edges, not from failure, but from honesty. Ancora. Still here. Still anchored.
