RETHINKING ORNAMENT
Through the architectural realisation of parametric design and 3D printing technologies
Traditional construction processes are rapidly evolving due to the need for more time, cost and energy efficient construction processes, leading us to be better able to fulfil our current needs. On the one hand, this means a rapid shift towards automation, which is an effective solution to reducing the construction industry’s large environmental footprint, and on the other, the search for alternative material resources that contribute to the reuse of material waste. Polymers are widely used and wasted in construction, while nowadays they are digitally researched and enhanced by different fibres to improve structural properties, making them a smart material used more widely in today’s architecture.
Computer-aided design has enabled the exploration and creation of complex geometric elements that can be assembled in various ways to create customised architectural elements. Additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing and robotic material extrusion represent an efficient design approach that enables realtime physical simulation in parallel with digital design, creating an interactive experience between the designer and the product.

Design concept
Recursive subtraction is a process in design or geometry in which a shape is iteratively and repeatedly subtracted from a larger shape, often resulting in intricate, complex forms.
This technique is used to create patterns or textures by gradually removing parts from the whole.
Assembly process
Field-controlled modular assembly showing the aggregation process of a single module in response to vector fields with Rhino and Grasshopper.
Modules align, orientate and vary their density depending on field strength and flow direction.
This demonstrates a scalable system that can generate both finite structures and continuous architectural fields.

THE RECLAIMED GARDEN OF CASCINA SAN FEDELE
ADDAPTIVE REUSE IN ROYAL PARK OF MONZA
The project presented for San Fedele focuses on restoring the historic Cascina San Fedele, earlier used as royal vacation house, and using it as a boutique park offering organic products. The main goal of the project is to attract more visitors in order to convey the unique charm of Monza through local products.
The connection between San Fedele and the surrounding historic buildings will be strengthened by creating new pedestrian paths that include small structures for visitors’ spatial experiences and activities. The conference pavilion represents an event hall for the people to sell organic products and do related activites togather

Concept
The conference and event pavilion is created from a simple circular shape that develops into an organic, serpentine structure in response to the natural surroundings.
Instead of removing the existing trees, the architecture integrates them into the spatial concept. The result is a harmonious combination of landscape and built space - a place that unites encounters, tranquillity and the experience of nature.
The pavilion becomes a living landscape element - a symbol of the respectful interplay between architecture, environment and user.
a) Rounded geometery welcoming the users coming to the backyard
c) Geometries wind around the trees. serpentine-like form in red colour.
d) The curved geometry is devided into several elements serving the landscape and providing a space for social events.

BRICKLINE OFFICE HAUS
Industrial plant for water supply
A two-storey industrial facility with multifunctional use was planned and realized on behalf of a private company in the water recycling and treatment sector. The building combines office space with technical areas for research, water treatment and storage.
The building was constructed using prefabricated reinforced concrete. In order to integrate the design into the local surroundings, the façade was designed with red-brick exterior walls to match the traditional building style of the surrounding area. The facility consists of two functionally separate structures: an administration area and a section for technical processes and storage areas.
