The project aims to harness the potential of cork waste by granulating it and utilizing heat pressing techniques without the use of additional binders. This approach capitalizes on suberin, a natural adhesive present in cork, which activates when heated, eliminating the need for synthetic binders. By pressing panels from recycled cork waste, the material‘s life cycle is extended.

While architectural applications of recycled cork have been explored, this project seeks to push boundaries further by challenging conventional design paradigms to demonstrate the versatility and potential of cork as a sustainable building material.

To showcase the power of selfsupporting, modular design, for the prototype cork tetrahedrons are connected and stabilized through a post tensioning system. The cables that run through the structure are secured with turnbuckles, allowing fine adjustments in tension for easy modification and dismantling. This tension creates compressive forces in the cork components, enabling the structure to remain stable without external support.

Through utilizing Grasshopper and the Wallacei optimization plugin, double-curved acoustic pods were developed to integrate cork tetrahedrons as acoustic elements. The design process focused on optimizing a single continuous surface within each pod, strategically positioning the cork tetrahedrons to maximize sound absorption and structural cohesion.

Competion in London for a garage roof transformation to a Workspace

In collaboration with Store Store Builds in London, this project was part of a design competition that called for the roof transformation of three garages, which are being repurposed into art ateliers for the students of Store Store.

This project explores the structural performance of a design focused on efficiency, material economy, and balanced

stress distribution. The core objective is to develop a system capable of supporting applied loads with minimal material usage while ensuring a harmonious stress distribution, preventing areas of excessive overload or underload. The design emphasizes the delicate interplay between various materials, with particular attention to the dynamics of tension, compression, and rotational forces.

Efficiency

Both cable A and B play a different role in the structure rigidity. Cable A will decrease the Maximum Bending Moment the the two columns, by increasing the Maximum Bending Moment of the beams. And the cable B would do the opposite. While acting in two different ways, there are both playing a crucial role for the trussers.

Installation/assemble

By assembling the cable A with a shorter angle then 30°, we create pre-tension when we add the roof structure weight.

been created and forms a center in the middle of the already existing wide range of cultural activities in this area. This will be the new library at Beethovenplatz, which serves both as a center for political education and as a public meeting place.

The building utilizes a Trombe wall to regulate indoor temperatures. This passive system enhances energy efficiency year-round.

cooling effect

In winter, the wall absorbs solar energy, creating a heating effect by circulating warm air indoors.

During summer, the design enables ventilation to release excess heat, providing a cooling effect.

This roof detail showcases an integrated green roof system designed for thermal performance, structural efficiency and sustainability. The multi-layer composition includes thermal insulation, vapor barriers, and reinforced concrete to ensure durability and energy efficiency. A protective top layer with vegetation not only enhances insulation but also contributes to biodiversity and stormwater management. The triple-glazing system with solar control glass ensures optimal natural light while minimizing heat gain.

Year 2022

Semester 6th of Bsc

The pandemic prompted a reexamination of our daily environments, raising fundamental questions about privacy, personal space, and the future of architecture. How much privacy does an individual truly need? How do we redefine living spaces in a rapidly changing world? What does property mean in a post-labor society?

This project explores these themes by envisioning an oasis within the urban landscape—where nature, technology, and humanity coexist in harmony. By examining the relationship between people and their habitats, it opens up new perspectives on how we interact with and understand space in the future.

The compact sanitary area includes only essential features, while showering is relocated to a shared public zone, rethinking individual needs to prioritize efficiency and shared resources. The units are designed to be modular and can be stacked to accommodate as many people as required within a single building.
