SELF-PORTRAIT

In the quest to discover my “Atlantis in Architecture,” sustainability has become my guiding star. My designs go beyond aesthetics, focusing on crafting architecture that captivates the eye and harmonizes with its surroundings, memories, and site context. With a deep appreciation for both physical and non-physical materials, I infuse purposeful design to enhance the beauty of spaces.

As a master’s student, I am committed to exploring innovative sustainability tools that reshape architectural practices. I envision an Atlantis where environmental stewardship converges with sophistication. Our world deserves better than building-as-usual – design and engineering must collaborate to reimagine spaces that enrich our lives.

We enable user-centered design, prioritizing access to natural light and air to enhance occupant productivity. Our approach seeks to create site-specific, dynamic environments that evoke a sense of identity and delight. Through comprehensive design strategies, we aim to simplify and optimize building systems, resulting in structures that are smaller, cost-effective, and robust.

At the heart of our philosophy is achieving high performance in harmony with inspiring architecture. We are driven to transform the built environment, ensuring that our spaces not only function efficiently but also uplift the human experience. Sustainability isn’t just a goal; it’s a fundamental principle woven into every facet of our design journey.

BACHELOR THESIS

Venture into the heart of Lagos, Nigeria, and you’ll discover “Rethinking Resources in Makoko,” a visionary architectural marvel poised to redefine urban living. Amidst the gentle sway of the lagoon, a sustainable oasis emerges, weaving together the threads of community, ecology, and innovation. Our journey begins in Makoko, a floating slum city where inspiration meets resilience. This transformative project is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a testament to the boundless potential of local resources and human ingenuity. By embracing the ebb and flow of the lagoon, the project harnesses the rhythm of sustainable fishing practices and local food production, breathing life into the community and nurturing self-reliance. This architectural symphony dances to the tune of minimalism, a mindful choreography that optimizes materials without sacrificing comfort. As the community thrives, the design adapts, ensuring a future where resource consumption is minimized and possibilities are endless. Central courtyards blossom as hubs of interaction, echoing with laughter and connection, a testament to the indomitable spirit of unity.

“Rethinking Resources in Makoko” goes beyond bricks and mortar; it’s a tapestry of services woven into the urban fabric. Schools, clinics, markets, and churches converge, making vital resources mere steps away. This holistic integration fosters community strength, kindling a self-reliant spirit that ignites the path to progress. In the heart of Makoko, hope takes root. This beacon of brilliance shines brightly, a symbol of sustainable coexistence. Here, architecture bows to nature, and community flourishes. “Rethinking Resources in Makoko” whispers a story of tomorrow, where humanity thrives in harmony with the environment, where resourcefulness and regeneration unite, and where the legacy of a community lives on through its resilient structures and shared dreams.

SUSTAINABLE SPLENDOR:

MAKOKO’S ARCHITECTURAL REVOLUTION FOR HARMONY AND PROSPERITY

Step into a realm where the intangible weaves seamlessly with the tangible, where architecture becomes a canvas for memories yet to be created. The essence of “Seeing the Unseen” comes to life within the walls of LSOA Burrida, a beacon of design that transcends physicality and embraces the ethereal. Here, innovation intertwines with tradition, forging a sanctuary where imagination knows no bounds. Nestled within the historical fabric of its original 1937 structure, LSOA Burrida stands as a guardian of urban memory. This architectural gem, now reborn, redefines its purpose as a vessel for creative exploration. Within these hallowed walls, students step into a world of endless possibilities, a haven where nonphysical elements dance harmoniously with the tactile. Guided by the principles of design rhetoric, memory, and flexibility, the building unfolds as a masterpiece of functional openness.

The heart of LSOA Burrida pulsates within its multipurpose social spaces, a tribute to the building’s storied past. Emanating an aura of collective energy, shared areas like the kitchen evoke the vibrant spirit of bygone eras. Yet, this design journey ventures beyond nostalgia. A juxtaposition of rectangular forms breathes life into student housing, a bold contrast against the existing structure. As these modern contours detach and reach skyward, they embrace breathtaking views and bask in the sun’s warm embrace. Ascend through time and space, and you’ll discover openair terraces gracing each level. These elevated sanctuaries beckon students to connect with the city’s heartbeat, inviting outdoor adventures and contemplative moments. Guided by an unyielding dedication to equity, a grid-based layout fosters inclusivity, ensuring every corner resonates with purpose.

“Unveiling Unseen Dimensions” is more than a project; it’s a testament to the symbiotic dance between history and innovation. LSOA Burrida stands as a resolute guardian of urban memory, a vibrant incubator of ideas, and a living testament to the power of design to redefine spaces and inspire generations. Join us on this transformative journey where architecture bridges the gap between the seen and the unseen, and where the future unfolds within the embrace of the past.

DETAILS

Rooms mimic the characteristics of the social spaces designed as self-manageable cubes of one’s own. In order to promote the local architecture and refer to the existing building façade details, the entire exterior of the new volume is covered with flexible window shutters which students are also free to open, close, and change the angle according to the sunlight.

I-UAKA

I-UAKA WAI represents a pioneering leap in marine agricultural technology, focusing on aquaculture, to safeguard our oceans and their diverse ecosystems. This visionary project harnesses the power of nature to address pressing environmental and socio-economic challenges. Our mission is two-fold: to provide a reliable food source while nurturing the local economy, especially for indigenous communities. No longer will fishermen return with empty nets and hungry bellies, and marine creatures will thrive in restored habitats. The sea, once burdened with plastic, will reclaim its pristine sands.

Situated in the heart of Indonesia, a maritime nation rich in resources, I-UAKA WAI stands as a beacon of sustainable development. Our innovation takes root on Halura Island, where the Indian Ocean and the Australian sea converge, shaping a unique ecosystem. At the core of our concept is a revolutionary approach to floating aquaculture. By harmonizing mussels, seaweed, and fish within a carefully orchestrated ecosystem cycle, we ensure minimal impact on the underwater habitat. The ingenious floating system safeguards the delicate balance of marine life, setting a new standard for responsible aquaculture.

Inspired by the success of Norway’s AI-powered fish farming systems, I-UAKA WAI integrates cuttingedge technology into our design. Through thoughtful adaptation and creative implementation, our project introduces an AI-driven dimension to Indonesian fish farming. We aim to inspire both local fishery practices and government policy, creating a ripple effect of positive change. The journey towards a thriving aquatic future starts with I-UAKA WAI, where innovation meets environmental stewardship, and tradition dances with modernity. Join us in shaping a brighter, more sustainable Indonesia, guided by the gentle rhythm of the sea.”

GEOPETROLEUM HERITAGE REVITALIZATION

Building shape as a result of site adaptation and inspired from nature rhythm. Thus, this design could harmony with nature, so heal the ecosystem that supports flora and fauna back. On the other side, the accessibility to the building is linked by an elevated pathway and able to access used bicycles, and golf cars that are available on the site. Tourism attractions such as Oilmining Gallery, Amphitheater, Cafetaria, Restaurants, and Outbound are able to open only at noon, even though Lodging and service available 24 hours.

Interior tones imply natural ambiances, in mind wood is the most valuable material. looking at how the knickknacks on Oil mining Galery is purposed for mining education that is able to learn soil layer in a different color to help understanding mining process. As depicted in the design illustration natural lighting dominated the interior lighting since minimizes electricity consumption. Foldable facade installed in Oil mining gallery, and eco lodging. Especially at the Restaurants, visitors are able to try making “Ledre” traditionally and coached by indigenous.
