VILLA CONCRETE A single-story L-shape house is designed to take advantage of the stunning views. The back of the home faces the street which keeps the interior spaces private while allowing the natural light to flood inside from the courtyard. The double garage protrudes from the faรงade. The linear effect of the concrete emphasizes the horizontal layout of the home.

URBAN ART GALLERY This concept of the art gallery is based on the idea that art and nature are intertwined, and art should be presented in a natural environment. A series of trees and plants contained within rectangular planters run the length of the courtyard softening up the horizontal facade. Tall trees offer shade and create a dynamic abstract pattern that changes throughout the day. The transparency of the gallery space invites

MODULAR HOUSING The composition of the faรงade is generating the dynamic mosaics that provides the transparency and illumination of the internal spaces. The 15 apartments are between 50m2 and 120m2 in size and all have a balcony. The room height of 2m ensures the increased quality of living. This concept design is has a completely modular monolithic skeleton and is made of respectful materials with the environment.

PARAMETRIC TOWERS (wind simulation) A design exercise made to understand the parametric principles that may apply in the design of a tower structure. These two towers designed as curved and inclined structures instead of the conventional straight structures used conventionally for skyscrapers. The wind, for instance, is a powerful natural force that not only shapes the landscapes but is also a factor that could significantly affect the building's shape and the design of public spaces around it. The wind swirls are observed to understand the area around the towers better.
This project illustrates that wind is one of the environmental factors that influence and ‘shape’ the architecture. Understanding how the building will interact with the environment, and in particular how it will react to external air flow is getting critical in contemporary architectural design. Proper urban planning requires wind simulations. Pedestrian comfort and safety and the dispersion of air pollution can and should be predicted by conducting wind simulations. The specific wind situation is a basis for the form generation presented on these drawings. An architectural form of these two parametric towers represents a minimum resistance to the wind flow (e.g., aerodynamic shape).

STUDENT STUDY SPACE (sunlight simulation) Direct sunlight is of critical importance in architecture for reasons of aesthetics, experience, and comfort, as well as energy performance. Direct sunlight can reduce winter heating, but can dramatically increase summer cooling. As much as 90% of a building's environmental impact comes from the energy it uses during its lifetime. You can reduce this impact by using renewable resources such as solar power. This building model is used for sunlight and radiation analyses as well as four types of glazing are examined.
These ffour images are showing a daylight autonomy distribution, for type different classrooms. The analysis conducted has shown that the first room has only 0.5% of the mean daylight factor. Students in this classroom will receive a tiny amount of sunlight, and the classroom will need some additional internal lighting during the day. The room with two windows gained 1.3 % of the mean daylight factor, and the sunlight is more evenly distributed compare to room one. The third room observes a significant jump of having 8.6% of the mean daylight factor and most likely will require some internal or external shading when the sun is in the zenith. The last room, with three curtain walls, obtains 20.6% of the mean daylight factor andappears to have the most excessive amount of sunlight. A well-integrated daylighting design has a greater positive impact on a school than any other sustainable design strategy. The study room prototype on the left is showing an excellent balance between design and sustainability. The amount of daylighting that the room is receiving during the whole year is almost 70%. The orientation of the glazing is creating the sun envelope that attracts natural light.
