finalized design models in various scales to test the proportions and structural integrity
shop drawings exploring the detailed measurements, angles and connections.
design iterations
final prototype construction at the woodshop using scandinavian ash wood and worsted wool fabric. The construction was completed with help of skillful and knowledgable teaching staff at the DIS copenhagen.
throughout the design process, multiple iterations were created and modeled in Revit to test different geometries and proportions. The iterations were discussed with professors and revised towards buildable in our timeframe option, that would be stable and elegant.

sculptural installation that was designed and built in the framework of the advanced design-build studio, fall semester, 4th year.
this sculptural piece was collaboratively designed and constructed by a group of design-build studio students, utilizing scrap mass timber wood to emphasize sustainability and creativity. the project explores the dynamic interplay of shadow and light, using the natural textures and forms of the timber to create a captivating visual experience. by incorporating principles of architectural tension, the structure balances weight and form, evoking both stability and movement. rooted in the philosophy of “design to deconstruction,” the sculpture is modular and adaptable, reflecting the importance of environmentally conscious design practices that minimize waste and maximize reuse.
