ROTATING SHIFTING SKYSCRAPER

A modern organic shape with rotating floors that provides hierarchy in needs and sustainability in one single tower. Before designing my project i searched about the life in 2050 , which will need a lot of energy and electricity due the use of technology and the existence of robots.. I used natural methods to generate power (solar and wind powers...)

Interesting approach to the mixed-use definition. Good study of the modules and their variety/flexibility. We have appreciated the consideration of the 'facility strategies', gives a realistic approach. I would only add that maybe the height could be reconsidered.

The “compact space” is projected as a conflict between open and enclose space. It gives architecture a dimension of depth that is not exhausted on the spatial scale, but works jointly with the open space to manifest its void as a possibility. It is a probability and it is shown as a dominion of the region of possibility. It transcends the "being object" of architecture at the moment or stage of its apprehension by our awareness.

An urban social network

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 m

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.

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.
