GROW LIVING
Berlin Affordable Housing Challenge Location: Berlin, Germany Year: Masters 1st Semester, 2021/22 Collaborators: Sanna Funck Germo Ausin Louise Hedberg
Instructors: Andreea Marcu Maria Rasmussen
Contribution: Concept Devlopment, illustrations, Drawings
The competition challenges designers with creating innovative design solutions to Berlin’s affordable housing problem. The brif requires designs to be flexible enough to accommodate different inhabitants and living situations. Designs for the Berlin Affordable Housing Challenge should be flexible to implement in different locations across the city. The designs should also be adaptable, allowing adjustments to be made in the future. This project is about planting seeds that grow with collective housing opportunities. The individual is the seed, which grows with social connections. 6
In this project the individual can grow, both in social connections and in usable spaces. Microliving units are the foundation of the bigger dwelling. Connections can be made neighbor to neighbor or randomly in the whole dwelling. The inhabitants move from their own private unit to the shared facilities, where they can access the common spaces. The approach on affordable housing in this proposal is coliving. Co-living offers something that is hard to quantify; the community of like-minded individuals at one’s doorstep and social interaction with one’s neighbours.

UNUSED - REUSED
Helsigngborg Expo pavilion design competion Location: Heslingborg, Sweden Year: Masters 1st Semester, 2021/22 Collaborators: Leonard Florian Anton MaxMax Strömberg Bååth
Award:
Contribution: Concept Devlopment, illustrations, Drawings
Instructors: Andreea Marcu Maria Rasmussen
The City of Helsingborg launched a temporary pavilion design competition during the H22 expo. The organizers want to showcase sustainability through the circularity of materials. This design explores ways of using recycled materials. The brief also requires the designers to express equality through design.
Just like the materials here get to show their full worth while traditionally being discarded some people get looked down on, but all humans have value they just need to be given the chance in the right place to truly shine!
The pavilion will be built to host exhibitions during the expo. in addion, it needs to have two rooms to host sand blasting machines that are open for the people to see. The pavilion is minimalist in its use of different materials, these are not bad materials, they are just underused because they are diff erent, just like people can be different sometimes.

Second Prize Winner
Taking the inspiration from rural life we find a material that is a waste product of the agricultural process. we choose the hay bale which is non-edible by animals and left it for them to sit on as a construction material. This gives this forgotten material an equal chance to be the centerpiece of this sustainable international exhibition. With the help of parametric design, the hay bale will be given a contemporary look.

DECOLONIZING AFRICAN SCHOOLS ARCHIGENIEUR AFRIQUE 2017 Competition Location: Bahir Dar, Ethiopia Year: 2017 Independant project: Competition Entry
Award: First Prize Winner
ArchiGineer Africa aims to contribute in showcasing positive images of locally sourced African materials used in construction; foster inspiration and creativity of African culture.
It can be argued African schools have lost their traditional essence. The standardised western education and learning environment which was introduced by the colonial powers has taken away the interactive outdoor type of learning. Precolonial African civilisations educated their youth life skills in a way that knowledge transfers directly from the experienced to the younger ones directly through personalised teaching.
Atse Sertse Dengele is a primary school located at the centre Bahir Dar city 100 meters away from Lake Tana. Parks, luxury hotels and resorts surround the school. This design intends to take one of the parks into the newly expanded school campus. This approach makes students feel like they are learning in a park in the beautiful city while they are still in a secluded space at the same time. Atse Sertse Dengele was built during the reign of Emperor Haileselassie I. 26
The Building Typologis are designed to be constructed from locally resourced materials and using local techiques in a way that it could be prefabricated and assymbled in the construction site.

A shade which defines movement connects all classrooms and creates a cool and ventilated learning compound. The building roof made from timber shingls extends to shade the walk ways of the compound.
Section 32
The school is designed 100% from traditional materials. The wa,ls are mud blocks while the roof is timber shingles. Rooms will be clustered around a gathering space which also circles a spiral staircase.
33
Project Site Location Location The school is located in the heart of Bahir dar, 100 meters away from lake Tana. The proposed site is surrounded by parks and luxury hotel resorts. 34
The rehabilitated school is located next to an existing urban public park. This design intendes to extend the characterstics of the park in to the school. This approch makes the students feel as if they are still part of the park and the city while they are still learning in a confined and protected area. 35
Spiral Stair

Kitchen
Spiral Stair
Two spiral stairs located at each gathering place lead to a bridge that connects the gathering spaces vertically. Students will have a very good view of the city from the bridge/roof of the school. By interconnecting these common spaces and the classrooms around them, a bigger common gathering space that can be assigned new functions like an outdoor kitchen is created.
36
Wood Shingle roofing A continuous roof covers the whole school compound creating shades. The rooftop also serves as a bridge between places.
Concrete Frame Classrooms are arranged around a central garden that serves as a gathering space. Walkways and a bridge connects the gathering place and classrooms.
Timber roof Truss The classrooms are placed in such a way that allows maximum student movement for the students.
Adobe Earth Block The school garden makes a dialogue with the the city park located infront of it. The vernacular character of the school building gives a traditional look to the city.

HOSTELS FOR HOPE International Student design competition Location: Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania Year: 2017 Collaborators: Akrem Ezedin Henok Yared
Award: First Prize Winner
Contribution: Concept Devlopment, Building modeling
The Hostels for Hope -Tanzania is an international design competition that is aimed at attracting the best design ideas and solutions from architects with the intention of creating a space of healing and rest near Tanzania’s cancer treatment hospitals. The United Republic of Tanzania has some of the highest rates of cervical cancer in the world, yet only one hospital in the country of 49 million has specialised services to treat them. Based in Dar Es Salaam, Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) treats close to 10000 women each year for cervical and breast cancer 60% of whom live outside the hospital. 38
Despite the availability of this facility, many women diagnosed with cancer do not seek care or drop out once they started because they live far away from the hospital, and do not have access to affordable places to live between cancer treatment sessions around the hospital. The design intends to bring positive feelings through the usage of natural light and open spaces. It also provides spaces where women share what they are going through during the long chemotherapy treatments. Since the women receiving treatments come from rural areas, traditional materials are used to make them feel home.

EXTENDABLE RURAL HOUSES Bachelor’sThesis Project
Location: Addis Betekrstiyan, Ethiopia Year: Bachelor’s - Year six, 2017
48
Independant project: Academic project
Instructors: Prof. Dr. Dirk Donath Dr. Zegeye Cherenet
This project is a portion of the proof of concept for my bachelor’s thesis project titled “Extendable building systems for newly emerging towns in Ethiopia”. It explores ways to build 8000 small rural towns in 10 years to urbanise the country. The project categorises and classifies all building elements in rural Ethiopia.
In this proposal, the roof of the building is a temporary building element which could be lifted to insert an additional story.
This residential prototype is proposed for a future small town in the Amahara Regional State called ‘Addis Betekrstiyan’. The prototype tries to find ways of turning the traditional local architecture of the Amahara region into an extendable unit.
Besides providing adequte housing for farmers this research intends to tackle the negative effects of rural urban migratition by creating quality housing and empower the local craftsmen during the construaction of each small town.
The research studies ways of extending rural buildings vertucally and horrizontally according to future needs by the owner. Furthemore, it provides flexible spaces for the resident to adapt into.
