Schools are like the solar system, but with knowledge being the one connecting, central element. As the sun shares energy, knowledge is shared, powering the whole. The planets on the other hand can be understood as the integral physical parts of the school. Each planet creates its own micro system, crucially influencing the development of the former.

The Luliwa Mosque is an iconic placemaking statement. The use of the Pearl as a visual and physical entry portal reveals a site inspired history while connecting with the future through a timeless spatial experience. Where the Dubai Creek Tower emphasizes verticality, the Luliwa Mosque is an exercise in complimentary urban design by emphasizing a horizontal relationship with the topography. The proposal uses the park promenade west axis to create a civic connection, while graciously receiving car-bound faithful. Simple horizontal roof planes intersect to sinuously enclose a column inscribed courtyard whose sacred geometry inspire awe and contemplation.

The Kunstareal Munich, with its high density in various institutions, is unique among the cultural centers of Europe. Unfortunately, the Neo-classical urban grid with magnificent solitary buildings make this it impossible to experience its unity in an urban context. Our aim was, to revive the KA through participatory working spaces for architecture students. After deeply analyzing the prevailing conditions, we designed flower-like, foldable, energy self sufficient, and transportable structures, that provide working space for two students each, can be placed independently or be connected with a larger unit and thus create a cluster.

The Museo Modulo shapes the way artifacts are being presented. Its interlocking spacial program, the various kinds of proposed galleries and the possibility to adapt the spaces to the needs of an exhibition guarantee a new museum experience. Orienting the programs vertically and creating porosity in both plan and section, allows for a unique flow, while directly responding to Chicago’s building tradition. Lastly, we implemented a childcare facility. We believe, this will be a safe space for the children of Chicago, where kids get the chance to interact with art and architecture.

Residence halls are unique buildings. They‘re shared by students of multiple different majors, of all ages and ethnicities. Creating spaces where students can benefit from this diversity, was the aim of our proposal. Two residential stories, each hosts four two-bedroom apartments, share one inserted community floor. To create an as open as possible plan, we designed three story high, trusses, which, together with the slabs, function as a static box. The upper apartment floor is suspended from this box. The apartment floors are enclosed by a polycarbonate double-skin that fits the ecological demand, provides natural daylight, and above all is very lightweight.
