About Discussions Projects41 Journals47 Publications2

Smart buildings integrate technology, sustainability, and flexible design to create spaces that respond to inhabitants and environmental conditions. These projects demonstrate how architecture can incorporate adaptive systems, green infrastructure, and community-focused programming.

The community explores modular housing that grows with residents, mixed-use conversions that activate underutilized sites, and structures that balance ecological restoration with urban density. Work ranges from vertical insertions in existing neighborhoods to campus-scale developments that remediate landscapes while serving institutional and residential functions.

Live Laugh Love

There are several circular stone structures, which remind the city historic towers. It seems like a castle, but more transparent and softer compared to the original ones. This will bring safety, warmth, intimacy and happiness to citizens.
