Planned City
Designed cities and urban planning projects that integrate infrastructure, sustainability, and community needs.
Customized Instant City Module Operating System: A Second, Movable City Above Barcelona's Eixample
A post-metabolist plan for Barcelona's Eixample inserts a mobile lattice of modules into the air, rooftops and courtyards rather than razing the grid.
Linear City
The increased presence and use of automation and artificial intelligence in society will create radical changes to the way people live and work This project provides new ways to live and work for both people with and without the skills still needed to hold a job By creating an adaptable and expandable city AI can begin to best serve the needs of everyone.

Resilent city for
Radical, futuristic and explorative. Modules are quite applicative, but doesn’t offer various options for further development. Lack of analysis for supporting system such as energy and self-sufficient methods.
It offers something new which I do not see on other entry. However, some improvement in the method of presentation is necessary to articulate some of its space composition.
NEW WAVE
NEW WAVE is a conceptual project, that is based on rethinking Cerda’s legacy. Our main goal was to improve and adapt the existing scheme, saving the unique atmoshpere of Barcelona.
To mention the musical New Wave as a counterpart of post-punk, where the artists were influenced by bourgeois pressure from the musical pop of 1960s. Could we use the reference as a projective approach talking about social future behaviors?
Infill: A Local Commerce-Led Economic Recovery
The proposed intervention aims to extend the typology of the old city through a network of spines and open spaces that will connect the sites? various polarities. It will be achieved through an infill strategy that will eventually lead to a local commerce-led economic recovery. Phase 1: Micro-Rezoning, Phase 2: Relief and Reconstruction, Phase 3: Recovery
Redefining the Urban fabric of Manek Chowk, Ahmedabad.
The project aims to design & solve built forms and public open spaces addressing typologies of housing and shops in high-density areas of Indian markets situated in an urban context evolved over the years. It retains the heritage aspect by resolving streetscape, elevated housing units, shop typologies and the addition of library, museum & exhibition spaces.
SUPER CP!
Connaught Place imagined as a model CBD creating space for people to have meaningful interactions, whether casual or formal; planned or serendipitous; in liesure or in seriousness. At the core of the very idea of a city, Super CP embodies the historical as well as the futuristic purpose of human interaction, cooperation and innovation.
Building Smarter, Building Together
"BSBT" addresses head on the realities of the previous devastating flood and proactive methods to mitigate future floods. Our approach builds upon enhanced digital technology in combination with shared spatial interventions and strengthens the community through shared building and socio-economic investment strategies.
Automatic City
Going vertically: Because the city?s population will grow to 1,000,000 in just 2.5*2.5mile area, going vertically is a strategy to solve the problem of land-use shortage. Automatic-driven elevator: As for the crowded traffic, we believe that with the technology of automatic drive, there would be no more traffic jam. New form of community: we imagine that i
The twisted vertical city plaza
The idea derived from the formation of a tornado that is usually attached to the base of a thunderstorm. The main idea here is totally opposite to tornado's main goal which is destruction and replacing it with bringing all features within same twist under massive air speed.
Sandcrete City
The construction of the worlds first Sandcrete City is a response to the Global Sand Crisis currently sweeping the construction industry. The project explores the potential of constructing a self-sustaining city using only natural materials found in the Mauritanian desert, and aims to be a catalyst for a more innovative and responsible future.
Tabula Rasa
Today, lingering nostalgia must not prevent Delhi from progressing. Rather than focusing on micro-rewrites that would only attempt to alleviate Connaught Place?s urban issues, the proposal creates a mega-rewrite. Micro-rewrites would only operate as handiwork. Through this mega-rewrite, Connaught Place will be demolished and rebuilt: a TABULA RASA.
A very good proposal. It keeps a perfect balance between preexisting respect and forward-thinking. the authors made a powerful analysis of the metabolism of the Eixample district nowadays. It assumes the goals of the competition (increasing density, for example) in a realistic way, feasable and equilibrate. there is also an interesting reflecction on how to "fulfill" the street spaces once the cars disappear. the proposal is very well explained, very clear and seductive. the drawings explain very well the concept, the ideas and the implementations, with nice axonometries.
A deep analysis and great infographics. Proposal respectful with the existing. I would only add that having a good synthesis capacity is important to transmit the clarest ideas... sometimes it was too complex to understand. Also, I would have appreciated seeing a more visual (more realistic perharps) photography of the impact of the proposal in the city.
What we talk about when we talk about Architecture? Do we talk about innovation, social behavior, nature, growth, time, change, sustainability, weather, citizenship, atmosphere, water, adaptability, welfare, environment…?. This project….yes.
