Urban Dimension covers design work that addresses how cities grow, transform, and accommodate human activity. Projects in this topic examine strategies for building within constraints, from modular systems to adaptive reuse, and consider how architecture shapes urban life at multiple scales.

The community explores parametric city planning, housing density solutions, facade interventions, courtyard carving, and vertical stacking of programs. Work ranges from speculative modular cities to realized projects that integrate social housing, greenery, and public space into existing urban fabric.

CUBE(ish)

People are in a rush between their home and workplaces. They sometimes miss the opportunity to pause, look around and feel good. At this point in-between spaces (between home and workplace) in cities draw attention. Our concept is an in-between space which creates an escape point from daily rush.

Hexagon City

Hexagon City challenges the norm by using materials at hand at the building side, by making optimal use of the land and by applying low-tech solutions to supply the city with durable energy, water, shade and cooling.Although it can be added we do not prefer high-tech solutions for their need of scarce raw materials.

NomadHouse - Under Construction

In response to this increasingly fast-paced contemporary era with increasingly blurred boundaries between home and work, we have been thinking about what is the most suitable way for digital nomads to live today. Through the design of vehicles as residential units, we hope to create a building with the ever-changing preferences.

OUR INFINITE CONSEQUENCE

This project seeks to promote a space for reflection on our scale and our role in the collective space. An experience where visitors see themselves in infinity in order to perceive their place, their actions and therefore their consequences. The space only exists in our presence, that is, it exists only because of our presence.
