MATERIAL EXPLORATION
DELTA HQ
MATERIAL STUDIO, SEMESTER III
The primary goal of this studio was to delve deeply into various operational methodologies to understand how they influence architectural form. By systematically manipulating a basic cube structure through a series of operations involving planes, solids, and voids, we ultimately derived innovative forms.
After achieving a refined understanding of these configurations, the challenge was to refine the resulting structure using a singular material. For this project, I selected rammed earth allowing for a focused study on its characteristics and potential applications in construction.

FLEXIMOBILIER
LxS SUMMER SCHOOL, EUROPE
TRANSITORY URBANISM PROGRAM
After a four week design and architectural journey through Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon, we came up with FLEXIMOBILIER, meaning flexible furniture. It is an intervention of dynamic and versatile furniture. It aims to activate the dead walls of Le Sample by creating multipurpose, movable and flexible furniture. This furniture is easy to use and transport, helping the user customize their arrangement according to their needs. This intervention is an integration into the existing, to create something compact and cost-effective, while also invigorating the area.
The final product was fabricated at Fablab, Lisboa employing repurposed metal and wood resources.
