Multi-sensory architecture recognizes that spatial experience extends beyond sight to encompass touch, sound, smell, and movement. This approach shapes how people inhabit and interact with buildings, from the materials underfoot to the acoustic properties of a room.

The community explores sensory-rich environments across diverse contexts: therapeutic spaces like autistic childcare centres, flexible learning environments, immersive installations, and public pavilions that respond to human perception and wellbeing. Projects range from haptic museum experiences to food-inspired landscapes and breathing structures that counter sensory overload.

mise-en-scène

This project seeks an answer to the question of whether architecture can become a scene of art. This project is inspired by the cubism movement. It is a search of the potentials of cubism in the exhibition of art objects in architecture.

Julia

Autistic childcare centre

The design is focused on providing sensory comfort for its users and on supporting the therapeutic process. The urban layout of the building is the result of an analysis of the needs of autistic children, such as the need for order and repetition, as well as the scattered building arrangement surrounding the plot.

CRACKED

Human as a Material Trying to emphasize locality from human interactions through materials. The situation of locality has been considered has a transference while this takes places with people.

Under The Skin

Under The Skin is an interactive musical installation that invites people to take a pause from their digital realm and be present in the physical world by having them explored and engaged physically with the sound and movement of the installation with others. It also invites people to awaken their inner child, to elevate their sound beneath the skin.

Millieu

Atmospheric membranes are articulated above the sunken island forming an enclosure that protects, purifies and heals the environment. Milieu is a GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT NUCLEUS and is the epitome of entertainment, a cultural icon, a sports hub, an attraction, a celebration of cinema, an interminable show.

Haptic museum

The Museum of Building Materials is different in that it is open to all people with any disabilities. The level of interaction with the escoponates is high. So even if you don't have the opportunity to see the material, you can touch it, hear it, smell it. In the very center of the museum there is an interactive atrium, along the edges of which there is a st

Reclaiming Childhood

A modular and versatile installation designed to create educational and joyful spaces for children in refugee camps. Our concept focuses on giving control back to neglected children while creating a safe space in a chaotic and hostile environment.

CON/TEXT/THEATER

The essence of the assumption is to popularize the book and the related culture of reading as a subjective value, displaced by and associated with new media haste. The overriding value of the project is the system possibility of the variable configuration and scale of the functional system, expanding it by adding more modules, depending on the needs.

EMERGENT / The Picturesque Evolved

The intent of this design is to create meaningful connections amongst site, program and reality of program and everyday life/discovery and create new biophilic form design that isn’t dependent upon site build components or major disturbances that then need to be “grown back” to meet the definition of a blurred boundary.
