THE AIM OF THE COMPETITION IS TO DESIGN A WOMEN’S HOUSE THAT AIMS TO PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AS A KEY FACTOR IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT. THE BUILDING HAS TO BE A SPACE DEDICATED TO HOSTING EDUCATION KAIRA LOORO WOMEN’S HOUSE KAIRA LOORO WOMEN’S AND RAISING AWARENESS. THE CONCEPTHOUSE OF THE “WOMEN’S HOUSE” IS TO MODULAR DIALOGUE EMPHASIZE THEDIALOGUE ROLE OF THE WOMEN IN SENEGAL IN ORDER TO MAKE IT MODULAR MORE VISIBLE AND APPRECIATED BY THE SOCIETY. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH A CLEAR SPATIAL ORGANIZATION WHICH HAS SOLID MASSES SURROUNDING A CENTRAL MODULAR DIALOGUE SPACE. THIS OUTDOOR BAMBOO STRUCTURE BUILDING CONCEPT BUILDING CONCEPT ACCOMMODATES MANY FUNCTIONS SUCH AS WATER HARVESTING FROM THE HUMID AIR, SHELVES FOR PROPOSED EXHIBITIONS, SEATING, KIDS AREA, SHADING FABRIC AND IT SUPPORTS THE BUILDINGS’ ROOFS.

LIBRICITY: LIBRARY AS AN URBAN ACTION BACHELOR THESIS

GIU Berlin | Architecture and Urban Design Program | Spring Semester 2022 Supervisors: Prof. Dr. David Calas | TA. Joy Samuel

SINCE THE LAST DECADES AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE PANDEMIC, LIBRARIES ARE UNDERGOING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. LIBRARIES HAVE BEEN REINVENTING THEMSELVES SINCE THE INVENTION OF THE WWW, THE EMERGING OF THE SMARTPHONES AND UBIQUITOUS CONNECTIVITY, PUTTING ACCESS TO INFORMATION IN NEARLY EVERYONE’S HANDS. THE LIBRARY IS NO LONGER ONLY A REPOSITORY OR HOUSE WHERE TO READ BOOKS BUT A STRUCTURE OF URBAN RELATIONS THAT HAVE MORPHED INTO FULL-SERVICE COMMUNITY CENTRES WHICH AIM TO MEET A WIDE VARIETY OF CIVIC AND SOCIAL NEEDS. THEREFORE, LIBRARIES ARE NO LONGER JUST PLACES FOR BORROWING OR READING BOOKS. THEY NEED TO BECOME ARENAS OF A NEW TYPE OF KNOWLEDGE- GATHERING IN OUR URBAN FABRIC REGARDING A CHALLENGING FUTURE. THE BACHELOR-THESIS-PROPOSAL ENCOUNTERS THE LIBRARY AS AN URBAN ACTOR, AS AN ARENA OF OUR DIGITAL AGE OF MAKING AND CODING. THIS TRIGGERS A COMPLETE RETHINKING PROCESS HOW LIBRARIES OF THE NEAR FUTURE SHOULD WORK. AN ARCHITECTURAL INVESTIGATION THAT PUSHES BOUNDARIES OF PRESENT MINDSETS BY ADOPTING A CHANGED FORMAL AND FUNCTIONAL EXPRESSION. THE GENERAL BACHELOR THESIS FRAMING IS ACCOMPANIED BY URBAN CONSIDERATIONS HOW SUCH PUBLIC BUILDINGS CAN SET OFF AN INCLUSIVE URBANITY PROCESS.

MAIN PLAN

POROSCITY: HOUSING LIFE AND DIVERSITY DESIGN STUDIO IV

KREUZBERG, THE WORLD-FAMOUS DISTRICT NEAR BERLIN MITTE, IS KNOWN FOR ITS DIVERSE FORMS OF URBAN LIVING. ONCE ONE OF THE POOREST AREAS OF WEST-BERLIN, SURROUNDED FROM THREE SIDES BY THE WALL, THE DISTRICT SOON BECAME A GENTRIFIED AREA AFTER THE GERMAN REUNIFICATION IN THE 90IES. TODAY KREUZBERG CAN BE SEEN AS A INTERESTING URBAN STUDY FIELD, WHERE ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES ADJOIN WITH LUXURY APARTMENTS, POORER LIVING CONDITIONS CLASH WITH EXUBERANT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS AND WHERE SUBCULTURE MOVEMENTS RAISE “RIGHT TO THE CITY!” DEMANDS. THIS ENCOUNTER TRIGGERS QUESTIONS, ASKING HOW ARCHITECTURE CAN PICK-UP THE ROLE AS MEDIATOR. DESIGN STUDIO IV ENCOUNTERS THE WORDPLAY POROSCITY BY INTERTWINING THE WORD POROSITY AND CITY. WHILE THE TERM POROSITY REFERS TO THE CONNECTION BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, CITY IMPLIES TO THE DIVERSE ENVIRONMENT OF HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BEINGS IN THE URBAN REALM. THEREFORE, POROSCITY SUMS UP THE ENDEAVOURS WHICH WILL BE ENCOUNTERED DURING DESIGN STUDIO IV. ENCOUNTERS, WHICH RESULT IN AN EXPERIENCE OF SPACE BY CONNECTING DIFFERENT FORMS OF HOUSING WITH A DIVERSITY OF ACTIVITIES AND OPEN FUNCTIONS.

INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH APPROACH FOR UPGRADING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS OF THE MUD BRICK WALLS IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE SOCIAL PERCEPTION OF MUD BRICK AS A “POOR MATERIAL”.

THIS WORKSHOP WAS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO ELECTIVE SEMINARS: UNPLUGGED MATTER and ROBOTICS IN ARCHITECTURE. THE ASSEMBLY WAS POSSIBLE BY THE USE OF MIXED REALITY TECHNOLOGY (MICROSOFT HOLOLENS) LINKING BOTH COURSES IN A COOPERATION ABOUT HANDMADE PRODUCTION AND DIGITALGUIDED ASSEMBLY.

THIS PROJECT IS AN URBAN INTERVENTION IN THE OUTLET CITY, METZINGEN, GERMANY. FOUR MONTH BACHELOR PROJECT IN STUTTGART UNIVERSITY. THE BUILDING ARCHITECTURE SCALE PHASE CAME AFTER AN URBAN DESIGN GROUP PHASE. THE BUILDING HAS A SCULPTURAL FORM TO FORM A LANDMARK AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE OUTLET CITY. THE FORM IS INSPIRED FROM THE SHAPE AND THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS AND WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH A SERIES OF WORKING MODELS. THE CIRCULATION TAKES THE VISITOR FROM THE ENTRANCE PASSING THROUGH THE ENTIRE BUILDING FUNCTIONS IN ONE DIRECTION RESPECTIVELY.

- THE SITE IS PART OF A SEMI-PRIVATE BLOCK AND FROM THE OTHER SIDE IS LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE OF LINDEN PLATZ WHICH IS THE STARTING POINT OF METZINGEN WHICH IS AN AREA WHICH A VER HIGH PEOPLE FLOW. - THE CHALLENGE IS TO CONNECT LOCALS AND TOURISTS IN A SPACE AND A FUNCTION THAT IS A POINT OF INTEREST FOR BOTH OF THEM BUT ALSO TO PRESERVE THE PRIVACY FOR THE LOCALS. - CREATE A CENTRE WHERE ALL THE EVENTS (e.g. BRANDS FASHION SHOWS, CONCERTS) AND MEETINGS WOULD TAKE PLACE.

MINI SCHOOL Design Studio VI | Semester IX | 2018 Supervisors: Assoc. Prof. Urs Walter

THIS PROJECT DEVELOPED A NEW SCHOOL TYPOLOGY ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL: MINI-SCHOOL BLOCKS AS PART OF URBAN CAMPUS AREA IT IS A COMMUNICATION WITH GOPA CONSULTANTS AND GAEB. THE DESIGN IS BASED ON THE CLUSTER ORGANIZATION IDEA WHERE EACH TWO CLASSES HAVE A SHARED SPACE FOR ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES. THE BUILDING IS MODULAR BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON A SIMPLE COMPOSITION CONNECTED BY A STAIRCASE AND AN INVITING OUTDOOR GROUND FLOOR. THIS MAKES THE IDEA FLEXIBLE TO ADAPT TO EVEN SMALLER LAND PLOTS. BUILDING LEVELS ARE ARRANGED IN SPLIT LEVEL TO ALLOW MORE CONNECTION BETWEEN DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS.
