Kreatorium - Student Library Project in Wrocław
The main goal of the project was to create a modern library space primarily dedicated to students and the local community. It is intended to serve as a place for meetings, collaborative work, and study. The name of the facility, “Kreatorium,” suggests that the space is an environment that stimulates imagination and supports the generation of new ideas.
Tokyo Dojo
The concept of the design was the idea to create a central place where the world of experience around sports and the fan community can be celebrated together. With organic forms, the dynamics of the sport is also shown in the building structure. The design language combines traditional pattern and modern architecttechnology.
The concept for this project has the potential for openness. An opportunity which is unfortunately not seized upon by the team. Instead of a flexible, ephemeral structure, we are faced with an enclosure limited by its strangely clumsy insistence on formalism. Imagine how simple gestures could break up the continuous homogeneity of the pattern whilst keeping its overall integrity—and lead to an intriguingly unexpected openness.
The design of using overlapped circles successfully generates certain new atmosphere of the space. It should have been much interesting if the people interaction in-between a circle and another regarding the program or usage is expressed.
Thank you very much for sharing your opinion about the project
HAH - Hexagonal Affordable Housing
Abbreviated as HAH for 'hexagonal affordable housing', the design is for a mid-rise residential building comprised of 84 trapezoidal housing cells that are attached to a structural grid and slide in and out, much like drawers in a dresser. It explores various lighting concepts and the Japanese shinchintaisha movement through a modern, technological lens.
Dynamic Dojos
People who suffer from loneliness need a place where they are not stigmatised, a place where they feel safe and where social interaction can happen. Dynamic Dojos is a modular construction system designed to fit any context and host any event. Each module contains a program specifically designed to encourage social interaction.
In rendering the given site as only one of many possibilities, this entry immediately sets the tone for the deeper conversation the entire topic requires. The modularity is a logical and good first step, but one would have expected to go beyond the cube to better respond to the diversity, both of the context the project wants to plug into and the program it wants to host and stimulate.
The idea of spreading modularized objects itself is not such a special, but it is very well fit to the competition criteria in order to create new community space along with sports experience and the Olympic game. This has good appearance regarding the concept of temporary, community, and festivity.

interesting to have the common spaces in the last floor. Plans of the apartments need to be improved.

PENCIL DWELLING
The one-unit-per-floor paradigm of Tokyo pencil building demonstrates both a natural solo dwelling and the Japanese social dilemma of loneliness. In an age of solo living, this project aims to address the following questions: - what space do you want to keep completely to yourself? - which part of li
Interesting research for the historical reason for the development of small pencil buildings in Tokyo. In Tokyo, there exists so many pencil buildings and small apartments, but they are all closed and lucking the possibility of communication. This idea present possible new way of half-open half-private living. The idea is experimental and realistic at the same time. I can imagine interesting life in this building through beautiful presentation.

There is a very powerful idea lurking about in the scheme which can result in something quite extraordinary if there is a chance for it to fully develop.
The main virtue of this project is to have a very strong and resounding geometry.
