RUDRA Cultural center Bachelor's thesis Individual work 2018
RUDRA \ LYON, FR Brief A cultural center including a museum, a library, a dance and a music school located between the highway and an urban project that we previously designed in group. Archicad Sketchup Challenges Autocad Illustrator Interconnect the different parts of the program Photoshop so they can collaborate together. Showcase the Indesign masterpiece of the museum, an old traditional Enscape boat, in an innovative way to attract the public.
Floor plan \2
Main ideas
\ The building is semi-buried to reduce its height and hide it in the “forest”. \ The program is organized around a single central ramp to make people from different parts interact. \ The ramp is oriented towards the museum where the masterpiece is lifted up to give another point of view on it and make it visible from the outside.

UNLONELY Co-living Master's thesis Individual work 2021
UNLONELY \ GOTHENBURG, SE Brief My thesis written with WHITE draws a line between loneliness and community living and develops a design guidebook to enhance social interactions in housing. Rhinoceros Challenges Autocad Illustrator Translate the accumulated theories into design Photoshop strategies. Design the components separately so Indesign that they could already have a positive effect on Enscape loneliness if only one were to be used.
Main ideas \ The design strategies are extracted from literature and case studies. \ The strategies are applied to test spaces called design components. These are standard housing common places such as corridors and staircases which are turned into social hubs. \ The components are synthesized into a speculative design proposal.
