SYNAGOGUE
CONCEPT The idea of this project is to cater to both the social and academic aspects of Judaism. The project creates a flexible synagogue where these programs are both separate and continuous; individual yet collective.

URBAN CUT
CONCEPT The Urban Cut deals with the idea of connection to create an urban sequence. The project is a response to Richard Meier’s vision of linking four plazas in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Programmatically, the project dealt with hotel spaces, a Roman-style bath complex, exhibition areas and a concert hall.

FLEA MARKET/HOTEL
CONCEPT The Flea Market/Hotel combines a hotel with a bustling flea market in Shibuya. The idea is to take the characteristics of both programs and create a mutualistic relationship. The role of hotel guest, flea market seller and flea market consumer becomes interchangeable.
