LUNA BASE: Space Architecture for a Self-Sustaining Lunar Habitat
LUNA BASE imagines space architecture as a self-sustaining lunar community where geodesic domes unite living, work, nature, and exploration.
Lunar Spiral: Space Architecture Shaped by the Mathematics of the Universe
Lunar Spiral reimagines space architecture through Fibonacci geometry, lunar regolith, levitating habitats, and self-sustaining Moon living.
The Swarm: A Mycelium Megastructure for Repopulating a Post-Apocalyptic Earth
A beehive-inspired colony built from genetically modified mycelium deploys capsules to detoxify ecosystems over a 600-year recovery timeline.
Empowering Coastal Communities: Climate Research and Training Center, Satkhira
A strong and socially relevant climate-resilience proposal that effectively connects architecture, ecology, research, and community livelihoods. Its main opportunity for improvement is stronger evidence linking research findings to specific architectural decisions and performance.
Thank you very much, Sir, for your valuable feedback. I appreciate your insights and will improve my project accordingly.
NEW MEMORY: Senior Living Architecture Shaped by Color, Community and the Moroccan Medina
New Memory rethinks senior living architecture through colors, courtyards and shared spaces that strengthen memory, autonomy and connection.
Neo-Covenant: Sustainable Architecture for a Post-Apocalyptic Earth
Neo-Covenant imagines sustainable architecture in Lalibela as a self-sufficient habitat where survivors rebuild life, memory and hope.
h-age: Senior Living Architecture for Flexible and Community-Centered Ageing
h-age rethinks senior living architecture with flexible rooms, shared space, green ground floors, and adaptable housing for 1,000 residents.
THE HIVE: Space Architecture for a Self-Sustaining Asteroid Mining Habitat
THE HIVE explores space architecture for a modular Ceres habitat where robotic mining, resource cycles and human survival converge in orbit.
THE ARK OF ASHES : Exploring Speculative Futures in Architecture
Fantastic bro 👍👍👍
Amazing Work ...
Curved-Living
The design offers curved life with a gravitational and non-gravity environment to supply the minimum needs.
Space Invaders
Shape is inspired by Von Braun rotating space station and by bicycle wheel. Shape provides artificial gravity and modularity. Station is composed from central core, inner and outer ring. Station revolves once every 60 seconds, 1400 km above the Earth.
The Ark of Knowledge
The more civiliztion develops, the more dangerous and intense issues the Earth is facing. Ecologists give a non-positive prognosis to the Earth's future. In the near future humanity will need to find a new place for living. We need not only save humanity in its physical appearance, but we must find the ways to save our culture and identity.
NEW HOUSTON
New Houston, the first self-dependent space settlement planned for 2040, is a synthesis selected from reasonable models that conducted by countless experiments. The significance of New Houston is to make human beings leave the earth and step into space life to become "interstellar species".
