01 Togetherness
This program creates a free co-working space, where people and cats both have their own spaces and interactive spaces. People and pets are fair and even in space.
Concept Development
Problem Analysis
In modern society, pets have become a part of the family. But the main living space for pets is still largely confined to human homes. The majority of full-time commuters and pets spend their time after returning home from work. Office means separation from pet, while only home means companionship.
Concept Collage
Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s triptych Garden of Earth Delights (1490-1500), I want to create a shared workspace. It’s like creating a paradise in a painting that blurs the subidentification of people and animals. The space has become a shared paradise for all creatures.

Cat Table
This Cat Table can accommodate two cats and two workers while not interfering with each other. Cats have their choice: from the bottom level of all privacy to the middle level of the semiopen, to the top level of the full open. Cats can avoid fright and have time to adapt. Cats can also stay in front of their owners.

02 You can Listen You Can Talk
My concept is to become the opposite of the history of Teufelsberg as a listening station. I want to create a bar with music venue, which allowing for a natural transition between private speaking and public listening. Visiters can not only feel free to talk with intimacy, but also listen to the experimental music together.
Context Analysis
The NSA Left Berlin after the collapse of Berlin Wall. 1939-1945
End of WW2, a non-natural hill, created in the 20 years by moving 75 million m³ of debris from Berlin.
The listening station on Field Station Berlin was built by National Security Agency and The British Army Forces
U.S Inteligence wanted to build a listening station in west Berlin to intercept Soviet radio communications
Concept Development
The Listening Station was in operation to intercept and block Soviet communications.
Marvel Schuette, son of one owner who bought the site in 1996 has rented the site to street artists for creating art.

03 Free Entry
This one week project aimed to design a pavilion for a children’s hospice for Schwesternverband by means of dry and light construction. to give the physically and mentally challenged children an outdoor space. Considering that the children are of different ages and have different body limitations, we tried to design different entrances to make them feel welcomed and included.

05 Changing Room
This project was a redesign of an interior space in two weeks to fulfill a transitional space in Poolbar Festival. By tracing the history of the space - twenty years ago it functioned as a changing room. So with this historical context in mind, my team and I used the concept of the changing room for a new function, allowing the space to function as a club, bar, and event venue.

06 Symbiosen
During the Workshop by Raumlaborberlin, we built a pavillion by using demolition waste and abandoned materials, as well as discarded wooden furniture from the residents of Wuppertal. The Worhshop was through novel strategies, processes, and tectonics through which material could be given new purposes, such as cleaning, sorting, trimming, painting, stacking, weaving, and linking.
Wood Reuse Process
We collected furniture discarded on the streets by wuppertal residents to be used as materials for the building. We dealt with the collected funiture by several processes, such as cleaning, sorting, trimming, painting, stacking, linking. During repainting process, one side of the treated boards were painted and arranged the boards organically to become the outer skin of the pavilion.
