Studio of Novel and Visionary Architecture
Student work of the Illustration and Rendering class
The work focuses on digital processes of increasing complexity. Speculative design sequence employs the modeling and scripting of objects, clusters, systems and landscapes and ultimately to new environmental realities.
Award winning detached house generated through folding responding the the clients’ need for privacy. The project explores the plastic and bold characteristics of fair faced concrete. Walls and structure exist within a single layer.
In such system, dynamic properties and variants are independent of size or shape as they can stretch, bend, or twist. The formal composition derived allowed for a dynamic sculpting of the exterior: diagonal folds, cantilevers and oblique geometries. The house is located in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Student work of the Illustration and Rendering class
The work focuses on narratives and concepts, technical and material specificity, new geometries, systems and simulating environmental realities. The outcome is a hybrid, layered and dynamic composition of objects at various scales. The work questions a preconceived banality of space and interrogates our perception of the familiar / unfamiliar. It adopts simulations for the making of objects as hybrids: natural / artificial, objects and / as landscapes.
