Urban Energy
Design approaches to energy systems, sustainability, and resilience in urban and architectural contexts.
Magnet - Magnetic City
Magnet, a network of hybrid skyscrapers built up with magnetic levitation, rise in this Magnetic City. They form systems of clean energy supply and urban green space. They link the regions in the city, accommodate the functions of working space, commercial center, as well as the home for future transportation; attract people to gather here as a daily basis.

Metabolic Infrastructure: Reimagining Dombivli Station as a Civic Catalyst
This publication explores Dombivli Station as a key urban area influenced by the intersecting dynamics of mobility, governance, informal economies, and environmental challenges. Through urban theory, site diagnosis, and layered analytical mapping, it reframes transit infrastructure not as a purely circulatory system, but as a civic condition capable of supporting more inclusive, resilient, and socially productive forms of urban life.
Optimizing Transitional Spaces
This study examines how transitional spaces in Bur Dubai’s Meena Bazaar drive urban vibrancy and social dynamics. Using mental mapping, behavioral tracking, and mass void analysis, the research evaluates how spatial organization and thermal comfort impact usability in dense environments. It demonstrates that optimizing accessibility and climate comfort transforms these overlooked connectors from mere pathways into vital cultural hubs.

A very good proposal. It keeps a perfect balance between preexisting respect and forward-thinking. the authors made a powerful analysis of the metabolism of the Eixample district nowadays. It assumes the goals of the competition (increasing density, for example) in a realistic way, feasable and equilibrate. there is also an interesting reflecction on how to "fulfill" the street spaces once the cars disappear. the proposal is very well explained, very clear and seductive. the drawings explain very well the concept, the ideas and the implementations, with nice axonometries.
A deep analysis and great infographics. Proposal respectful with the existing. I would only add that having a good synthesis capacity is important to transmit the clarest ideas... sometimes it was too complex to understand. Also, I would have appreciated seeing a more visual (more realistic perharps) photography of the impact of the proposal in the city.
What we talk about when we talk about Architecture? Do we talk about innovation, social behavior, nature, growth, time, change, sustainability, weather, citizenship, atmosphere, water, adaptability, welfare, environment…?. This project….yes.

URBAN ZEN FITNESS
Urban Zen Fitness is a holistic wellness-oriented urban fitness center designed around the philosophy of Yin and Yang, symbolizing the balance between activity and stillness. Located at the suburban edge of Manchester, the project responds to its dual context—dense residential fabric on one side and open green landscape on the other—by acting as a transitional interface between the built and natural environment.
Project name : Live Happily
How design the pathway that helping to burn calories, walking as a workout, walking can also help burn fat as well and also use circulation to get people to use and in our work for a longer time. Using different paths, including climbing and walking down the ramp to avoid or walk over, and the roofs of connected buildings can also be used by users.

An urban social
Our proposal implies a way to design the city thinking of all population segments, from little kids that start to discover their neighborhood to senior citizens that hardly go out anymore because their needs have changed. We designed a main collective adaptable space for different programs accompanied by a series of niche public spaces within housing blocks.
Respectul proposal. Missing a more radical and visionary approach. I wonder if I may have understood the project better with more drawings and pictures.
The idea of increasing occupant connectivity to the natural environment, thanks to a system of interconnected people or things, is the cue. Exchange information, contacts, and experience for healthy purposes needs a dynamic structure. If we think this way, from scratch, we will learn that architecture is related to innovation and sustainability. The transformation of the historical city in the last century as a leisure space has to be replaced in the contemporary cities as a productive and connective cultural and natural space. The cities need to be thought as a dynamic structure where time is the matter to design new intelligent realities.

Hustle Hub - Cooperative Emerging Communities
The gregarious nature of the human being is the principal resource, is always easier to achieve the goals as a group, rather than an individual. The proposal's premise is that sharing spaces is an outstanding opportunity for the emergence of undetermined social dynamics that could foster the achievement of hustling youth's goals.
Beautiful drawings! Well done!
