date summer 2019 location seoul | south korea worked with a fellow architecture student at the TU wien description in this project housing is mixed with public uses that are suggested but not defined with a clear intention of creating versatile spaces that can be adapted to the needs in time of the inhabitants and the possible workers. under the lemma of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the collective cityâ&#x20AC;?, this project was planned not only with a high variety and flexibility of use - insipired in the traditional korean courtyards and the old cities with many narrow streets that offer many different perspectives and interpretations of space - with the main focus of boosting social interaction and creative opportunities mention exhibited project in the 2019 seoul biennale of architecture and urbanism

implementation of a 6x6m raster going in depth [3m, 0m, -3m, -6m] creation of an inviting main street to facilitate the access of neighbours and visitors

formation of the residency and facility blocks following the 6x6m raster in three depth levels, creating as well courtyards to facilite the access of light and to create more intimate semi-public spaces

proposed distribution of uses

the design of the several blocks was made thinking about the logical combination of uses and connections between public, semi-public and private spaces. at the same time, the disposition of the buildings, courtyards, underpassages and bridges, do not only allow determinate uses to take place but the possible adaptation of the spaces to the needs and wishes of the users in time. the design of the different blocks was made also with the will of offering a high interior flexibilty through the use of a base module of 6x6m that combined with more modules can allow multiple functions to be installed, as well as the use of light materials such as pannels that permit the subdivision of the rooms to render the desired flexibility of use possible. 15

the materiality of this project is based in thai local materials. bamboo - with a with concrete foundation and attached with lashing -, serves as the structure main material. the materiality of the walls, stairs’ steps and floors would be from lattice with a minimal use of steel to fix them to the bamboo beams. the use of movable bamboo panels would close or open the private spaces according to the users’ desires.

date winter 2017 location vienna | austria worked with a fellow architecture student at TU wien description in this landscape design project, date the open spaces of a residential complex in the location vienna | austria outskirts of vienna were planned, with a special description in this project housing is focus on offering gathering and activity spots mixed with public uses such as offices, with a selection of vegetation adaquate for the gym, library and restaurant viennese climate.

proposal of renewal scale 1.2500

project details

this part of the plot is regarded as the central hub for the residents’ for socializing, gatherings and other outdoor activities and events. it also works as an orientation point, guiding the residents’ into different blocks. in this new central hub there are few elements planned, such as a big fountain with stairs where people can sit and relax or watch an event, there is also a small forest which can be used for rest and shadow on hot summer days and a covered area that can be used for diverse activities and workshops.

the public park is thought to compensate for the lack of suitable open public space in the neighbourhood and at the same providing different functions, such as a central “performance pit” for musicians, other performances or similar events, a skateboarding area and small sport facilities and playground for children. the cycle path also goes around the park and enters “magdeburgstraße”, part of which is also repaved with paving blocks to better unify the whole plot. this public park would also work as a hub between the residents of this complex and the neighbouring ones.

in its existing condition, running along the plot on “donaustadtstraße“ is a parking area divided by guardrails across its length from the neighbouring lanes. the opposite traffic lanes are separated by a fairly wide lawn of the same length, without any other apparent function. our idea was to connect this lawn to the pavement across the southern limits of the plot. converting it into a wide promenade accompanied by pockets of resting areas with different functions, which would also reach a newly designed public park on the southeast limits of the plot.
