Passive Architecture
Design approaches that minimize active heating and cooling through building envelope, orientation, and natural systems.
Mayura Bhoir _ Undergraduate portfolio _
This portfolio is a curated collection of works from my five years in architecture school, each project marking a distinct phase of learning and growth shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and a continuous drive to refine my design thinking. Together, they trace not just academic exploration but the gradual emergence of a personal architectural voice. Alongside this, the portfolio includes work from my internship, offering a glimpse into how these academic foundations found expression in professi
The illusion of permanence: the design for disassembly framework
Traditional architecture’s focus on permanence overlooks the environmental constraints of climate urgency. Design for Disassembly (DfD) challenges this by planning buildings to be dismantled, reused, or relocated. This thesis investigates the ecological and socio-economic potentials of DfD, exploring how modularity and reversible connections shape future-oriented construction. Shifting focus from building to responsibly unbuilding redefines permanence for a sustainable lifecycle.
very interesting
Earth Side: Between the Ground and the Returning Body
Loss is not life’s interruption but its condition. This research reimagines the hospice in Montagu, Western Cape, as a threshold rather than a terminus, mediating private, communal and inherited grief. In a South Africa where apartheid’s death geographies still shape who dies with dignity, access to care remains uneven. Moving beyond clinical models, the project foregrounds emotional, spiritual and ancestral dimensions of dying, positioning architecture as an act of care, repair and passage.

THE MESH
A place for discovery, experimentation and sharing It is here, facing one of the symbols of modern architecture, the MAC Niteroi by Oscar Niemeyer, that the Athenaeum emerges, as a ground movement in the seabed. The mesh appears in the bay as an artificial topography in the landscape, inspired by the mountains surrounding the city of Rio de Janeiro
FLOW
"Flow" is a holistic wellness center that spatializes well-being through layered volumes and intersecting planes. Rejecting traditional closed rooms, it eliminates forced routes in favor of fluid, non-linear circulation. Strategic galleries dissolve boundaries, allowing users to experience the space freely at their own rhythm while staying connected.
Great project
Wow amazing
Great work amazing
John Sasser Architecture Portfolio
This portfolio showcases a selection of academic projects completed throughout my first three years at Mississippi State University's School of Architecture. The work reflects the development of my architectural thinking through a wide range of representational methods, including hand drawing, digital modeling, technical documentation, and photorealistic visualization. These projects demonstrate a commitment to thoughtful design and the continual refinement of conceptual and technical skills.
The sensitive city
Grounded in architectural phenomenology, this article investigates the sensory foundations of urban experience, showing how the body, place, and memory shape the identity of the city beyond contemporary planning paradigms.
Slowness Drawings
The drawings in this thesis are not merely representations of physical spaces; they are tools for understanding how people experience the city through movement, pause, and care. Rather than documenting architecture alone, they capture everyday rhythms, moments of waiting, lingering, interaction, and rest that often go unnoticed in conventional urban analysis.
Araksa Tea House
Araksa Tea Garden is situated on the foothills of the rich forest of Mae Tang, Thailand. This boutique tea garden produces high quality organic tea that achieved EU Organic certification. Simple Architecture were approached to design a Tea House by using sustainable and locally available material. The goal was to embed the building into its natural habitat.

Abode
The design is based on a sequential concept that allows for a significant impact beyond the site context. Regarding Biophilia's primary purpose of providing human wellness, the design focuses on fulfilling several personal engagement instances with nature through modular customizable
Great Project! Outstanding job!
Excellent proyect and creative idea. Love the graphics.
Very complete and clear proposal. The project would have been much benefitted from a less rigid design approach in relation to the concept proposed. Great presentation

The illusion of minimalism
This article addresses contemporary minimalism in architecture. It describes a shift from spatial intensification toward material and spatial neutralisation. It contrasts Miesian reduction with market-driven standardisation. It situates the argument through Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Zumthor and Koolhaas.
43 Passivhaus Housing by AMMA: Sustainable Residential Design in Mons-en-Barœul
43 Passivhaus Housing in France combines sustainable design, passive solar strategies, compact architecture, generous outdoor spaces, natural light, and thermal comfort.
good work😍
Getting into different typologies looks very interesting
