Learning Through Light: Optimizing Daylight Performance Through Window Design

Learning Through Light investigates how window design influences daylight quality and visual comfort in classrooms. Through parametric simulations, the research identifies optimized window typologies and translates the findings into the design of a climate-responsive secondary school in Tehran.

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

A strong evidence-based approach that effectively connects parametric daylight research with architectural decisions. The research methodology is rigorous, while the architectural concept could be developed further toward a more distinctive and critical position.

Plastic Waste Metamorphosis

Plastic is a revolutionary invention that is proving to be a global issue because of its immortalityl and lack of public awareness. The thesis is on a plastic waste recycling complex where all types of plastic waste will be recycled, and the environment will be rescued by growing public awareness through the use of the strength of architecture.

I like the concept but could have been executed better

CycleHaus

The CycleHaus is located in the middle of the largest world's ocean current. It can benefit the world's health by taking waste from one flow, recycling it, and shipping it worldwide by inserting it into another current route - without any additional energy used. The structure is politically, economically and socially independent, and able to expand further.

FRAMEWORK

This is a building that works as a frame for self-assembled flats.It uses the inhabitants creativity within the set architectural frame, spiced up by fresh plants straight from the next-door aquaponics garden (greenery planted in fish tank). The flats are modular which makes them affordable and allows the owner to control the cost.

EREBUS

The Erebus project conceives the colonization of the asteroid belt by proposing the installation of a habitable orbital station called Erebus and a robotic surface settlement called Hades. The orbital station will be comprised of three toroidal spacecraft that will be relieved one at a time each year and a half, avoiding isolation.
