UrbanWeave is a roadmap to belonging in Budapest. Designed for newcomers and locals alike, our project tackles housing opacity and city stress through a Rent Predictor for fair market transparency, a Scenic Router that trades ‘fast paths’ for urban beauty, and a Digital Heritage layer to reveal the city’s layers of history. By fusing data science with wellbeing, we turn the urban grid into a restorative landscape of beauty and inclusion.
The project explores how digital survey, community questionnaires, and spatial perception come together to reveal a fuller understanding of historic places. By integrating tangible and intangible data into a flexible geometric model, it creates a comprehensive map that supports new ways of interpreting and engaging with heritage.
Dear: One Last Letter is an ongoing artistic practice that moves between painting, sculpture, installation, and material experimentation. Within this body of work, images, objects, and found materials come together to create pieces that exist somewhere between artwork, ritual, and narrative. The practice explores themes such as exhaustion, transformation, and the quiet traces left behind by human actions.
Was, is, will be — finding potential in the forgotten. This thesis explores neglected barn districts, once vibrant and now overlooked, yet rich in spatial and cultural value. Through historical research and analysis of several complexes, one site was selected as a flexible model. The project proposes an urban and architectural vision showing how such districts could be revitalised, using the existing structures as the foundation for form, function, and material solutions today.
Kinetic Workshop is a hands-on bioconstruction experience where architecture, play, and sustainability come together. Using rammed earth and simple local materials, participants collaboratively build a multifunctional structure that works as a bench, a seesaw, and a water purification system. The movement of the seesaw activates a manual pump that pushes collected rainwater through a handmade clay filter, transforming play into a regenerative act. By connecting earth, water, and community.
What would you send to someone who is no longer here? Tributes in Flames invites you to answer through a simple ritual of making. Inspired by the shāozhi tradition, the project transforms a book into a participatory experience where readers cut, assemble and burn paper offerings in memory of those who have passed away. Using recycled paper and eco-friendly Riso printing, it becomes a tactile bridge between life and loss, where design honors cultural memory through a conscious, manual gesture.
Industrial Re-Evolution transforms and reimagines an aging industrial estate in Barcelona into a regenerative productive neighbourhood. Through ecological restoration, adaptive reuse and hybrid industrial-residential buildings, the project reconnects surrounding communities while preserving local industry. Circular energy systems, public spaces and green infrastructure create a resilient district where production, nature and everyday life coexist.
The project proposes the transformation of the "Ciutat Esportiva Dani Jarque" into an equipped park, redifining this environment through the implementation of urban orchards and the construction of 147 social housing units. Initially intended as temporary accommodation for the residents of the La Pau neighbourhood during the renovation of their homes, these will evolve into an emergency social housing offer. It restores the Besòs river agriculture and educates on a sustainable lifestyle.
NERA transforms sawdust waste into high-performance, 3D-printed façade panels that store carbon, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce reliance on virgin materials. By integrating material intelligence, machine learning and digital fabrication, it offers a scalable, circular solution for sustainable retrofitting and new construction. These panels are lightweight, customizable, and low-impact, making buildings more resilient, beautiful, and part of the climate solution.
CHEZ NOUS explores how clothing can create a sense of home. Through intentional design and responsible production, it develops garments that move between cultures and contexts, shaping new forms of belonging.
