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 real-time physical simulation in parallel with digital design, creating an interactive experience between the designer and the product.

Master Thesis Project | 2022 | Rethinking ornament

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.

Production and assembly The project seeks to reinterpret the geometric principles in traditional ornamentation and translating them to 3D geometric patterns, then resulting with 3D-printed discrete modules that can be aggregated and assembled togather to created various complex architectural elments.

These modules will be designed to achieve certain embeded structure performance as well as the aesthetic side resembled by the geometric details seen with different shadow grades.

The robotic arm was used to produce a real 1:1 scale model of a modular architectural column.

SMART PAVILION Environmentally friendly design methods

This project pursues new design approaches to tackle environmental problems in the construction sector.

It aims to improve energy efficiency in the construction industry and reduce material waste.

The pavilion utilises perforated outer skin to control the amount of sunlight entering the interior and create a comfortable temperature for users.

Comprehensive environmental and structural analyses were used to calculate the diameter of the perforations and the structure of the steel frame.

Structural optimisation algorithms were used.

MOTIONHUB

HABITAT FOR LIGHT, AIR, AND VELOCITY Motion Hub is conceived as a fluid spatial prototype that fuses kinetic form language with environmental intelligence.

Inspired by the sculpted aerodynamics of high-performance supercars, the project explores how motion can be encoded into the architectural envelope not just metaphorically, but spatially and climatically.

The form emerges as a continuous surface, generated through digital simulations and environmental analysis. Openings are strategically positioned to maximize cross-ventilation and solar exposure while maintaining a sleek and dynamic view.

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 Location: Italy.

The Reclaimed Garden of Cascina San Fedele | Renovation of buildings | 2021

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.

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.

Location: Magdeburg, Germany Project Category: Research-oriented industrial plant for water treatment and recycling.
