Expansion Rethink the expansion phenomenon as the second layer of the city of Taipei Taipei is a city full of informal self-build spaces.

I consider it is vital to examine how we adapt our living spaces to these shifts and to investigate the role our homes will play in the future. What are we gaining and what are […]

Experiencing the Transience. The celebration of imperfection: a pavilion I always enjoy observing nature because of its unpredictability and its uncontrollable and dynamic behaviour. Usually I attempt to seek for spatial qualities and the traces of use in the build environment that developed in a natural way while I do not regard architecture as a […]

A Sacred-Spatial-Experience Searching for an alternative mutual-religious space in South Korea The starting point of my research was to define a ‘Sacred-Spatial-Experience’ in various religious spaces. Being Catholic, I’ve often experienced the intense and divine atmosphere in worship places like churches, mosques and temples.

Cunucu Shacks. Here, There, Everywhere. The starting point of my research was the sociocultural impact of the tourism industry in Aruba, a small island in the Caribbean.

‘’On the Move’’ Learning from the highway by speculating on ‘verzorgingsplaatsen’. ‘’On the Move’’ is a 15 year-long strategic design and research project that explores ‘verzorgingsplaatsen’ (rest places, service – and gas stations) by interventions as an investigation on its hidden qualities. For my research I examined the system of highways and the places it has produced: ‘verzorgingsplaatsen’. Highways and ‘verzorgingsplaatsen’ are cobbled together with asphalt, road signs, lines and are usually not […]

Recycling Utopia: in progress My research investigates the phenomena of socialist mass housing in Lithuania as a physical outcome of the utopian promise to provide every Soviet family with its’ own apartment. In the 1990s Lithuania undergone radical changes due to its transformation from a soviet socialist system into a democratic and independent State. However, surrounded by rising shopping malls as physical outcomes of capitalism, Soviet mass-housing […]

Don’t Forget About Me Reigniting the lives of long forgotten textiles More than just a dressing, textiles are the soul of the home. To me, they are an unrecognised necessity that we all rely on, every day. Throughout my years of study I have lived in five houses in three different cities. This could equate […]

Community: An outcome of human necessity Infrastructures in cities have long played a major role in serving physical needs to communities across centuries. Places like fountains, roman baths, and communal ovens developed out of basic human needs [drinking, washing, bathing, cooking] and transformed into social spaces. There, people gathered everyday, not only for their daily […]
