Moment of Stillness

### Brief Moment of Stillness is a speculative architectural thesis that explores how architecture can move beyond sustainability to become an active force for environmental regeneration. Set within South Africa's Vaal Triangle, the project reimagines abandoned industrial infrastructure as living systems capable of healing polluted landscapes. Through a

The illusion of permanence: the design for disassembly framework

Traditional architecture’s focus on permanence overlooks the environmental constraints of climate urgency. Design for Disassembly (DfD) challenges this by planning buildings to be dismantled, reused, or relocated. This thesis investigates the ecological and socio-economic potentials of DfD, exploring how modularity and reversible connections shape future-oriented construction. Shifting focus from building to responsibly unbuilding redefines permanence for a sustainable lifecycle.

Architecture as a practice of re-grounding and restoring the sensitivity of place

This dissertation counters how globalization and ocularcentrism erode spatial identity, proposing architecture as a memory-bearing palimpsest. The framework is applied to Krakow's Krowodrza district (Poland), where a historic river landscape, once shaping a green gardening area, is now a dense city centre. By revealing 'traces of (in)presence', the work revitalizes this eclipsed heritage, advocating an "architecture of re-grounding."

the architectural memoir of memory

Memory is not static; it evolves, fades, transforms, and survives through people, rituals, and places. Within the Parsi community, the Tower of Silence at Doongerwadi has long existed as a sacred landscape carrying generations of funerary traditions, collective remembrance, and cultural identity. However, changing urban conditions, declining engagement with ritual spaces, and the gradual disconnect between community and sacred landscapes have led to the fading of these memories and spatial pract

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.

The sensitive city

Grounded in architectural phenomenology, this article investigates the sensory foundations of urban experience, showing how the body, place, and memory shape the identity of the city beyond contemporary planning paradigms.

The concept and the design outcome is very interesting, The contemporary or even modern design is well balanced with the use of traditional material and infusing it with the traditional stupa works well with the concept of integrating the past , present and future. your presentation skills are good. i feel that if you would have followed the height restrictions then you would have come out with an interesting design.

THE SUBTRACTED HORIZON

The Subtracted Horizon is an underground pavilion in the Swiss Alps that powerfully symbolizes the loss of peace and freedom caused by war. Hidden beneath a pristine alpine meadow, the pavilion is rendered almost invisible from the surface. As visitors descend into a stark, raw trench carved into the earth, they leave behind the open and endless alpine horizon. The architecture uses pure subtraction, removing the landscape to create a profound spatial experience

TIME FRAME

Before our design process, we thought about elements that doesn’t change in architecture over time. We found out that the act of gathering as h and needs for protected indoor space are the everlasting characteristics of human beings. Our building contains concepts that could exist universally and flexibly over time, encompassing timelessness of a

The illusion of minimalism

This article addresses contemporary minimalism in architecture. It describes a shift from spatial intensification toward material and spatial neutralisation. It contrasts Miesian reduction with market-driven standardisation. It situates the argument through Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Zumthor and Koolhaas.
