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.

SPHERE

The sphere is like the sacred and divine form of space. It is the final stage in the transformation of energy that follows a divine purpose. The sphere is the most efficient form to store and spread the energy. All planets and stars follow the same, as if they have a shared code of consciousness. This transformation is a manifestation of a common destiny.

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.

From Myth to Matter

This project seeks to evolve Panatirtha into a multi-functional social and spiritual complex that integrates the sacred identity with the existing natural and tourism pathways of the Tahirpur region. The aim was to design a fully operational, year-round facility to host spiritual and secular festivals, educational tourism, and cultural gatherings.

Spirit Ladder

As vernacular architecture is shaped by climatic conditions, the resulting forms often assume a mythical role. Exploring structures from houses to simple altars, the concept of a spirit ladder has been derived. Can the rules established for the movement of supernatural beings also be applied in a modern facility, and what role can they play?

Light and Water: A Sensory Experience

Connecting faith and lack of religious affiliation to a sensory experience that evokes feeling of tranquility and peacefulness thr

Vítor Leal Barros
Juror

The project has a beautiful aproach to the site and complete respect for the chinese traditional architecture without mimicking it. The different scales of the spaces and their sequence is very intelligent and accurated. The whole project is coherent in almost all aspects (site interpretation, program, scale and materialization). Very beautiful and poetic spaces. We can feel relaxation even in the communitary and more public spaces.

Between Memory and Oblivion: Mourning courses

The present senior thesis addresses the creation of a refugee cemetery on the island of Lesvos. Placing great emphasis on notions such as memory, loss and mourning, we try to design this peculiar burial ground. Collective memory and private memory are united in a transitional space, where one is being prepared for what is to follow.
