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. Progetto Ancora. Still here. Still anchored.

The Augmented Hearth reimagines the home as a tectonic, earth-built container with a digital core. A central void anchors social life and environmental performance, blending physical and virtual presence. Adaptable boundaries and modular systems create a flexible, climate-responsive architecture for evolving rituals.

A Case In Atoning Compulsive Indulgence

It is to be an experimental model in the urban to speculate the intervention, which in turn develops an allegory between the consumerist mindset and the transformed behaviour of recycling and upcycling. This is to act as a public interface to re-envision the isolated system as an innovation process and an experience for the city.

Revival of Last British Rotating Stage Theatre

This project portrays the last British revolving stage theatre of Asia, which is conserved by not only re-using the structure but also maintaining urban and natural balance. The fundamentals and proportions of this project will serve the cultural and emotional aspects of the people living in that area, with the help of Dovey’s “Place Attachment Theory.”

-Resurrection-

A proposal that aspires to resurrect the urban balcony as a public place apart from the present tragedy of the abandoned public/urban areas in the city of Benghazi. It is a joyous inspirational hymn against the disregards and negligence of balconies in the public scene.

REINCARNATION OF RUINS

Through an architectural intervention, the project aims to understand and appreciate the history and qualities of the ruined mill and integrate these qualities into the atmosphere of the new space, binding the old and the new together and at the same time, retaining the character of the ruin.
