Nesting
Architectural and spatial design exploring nested structures, compact living spaces, and layered environments.
Nesting in design refers to the practice of embedding spaces within spaces, creating layered environments that maximize functionality and spatial efficiency. This approach ranges from intimate micro-dwellings to complex urban interventions that challenge conventional notions of scale and inhabitation.
The community explores suspended bedrooms, modular capsule structures, vertical villages, and small-footprint chapels alongside larger urban forest concepts. Members investigate how nesting principles apply to temporary installations, hidden spatial configurations, and innovative solutions for dense living environments.
