Terra-phobia

MSc in Advanced Architectural Design | Divisible Cities |
Warszawa: The City and the Sky | November 2007

A short story based on Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities', defining 'terra-phobia': the fictional fear of the ground. The inhabitants of Warsaw who realize the significance of the ground along with the memories, the history and the past that is carried in it, do not feel comfortable on it, for fear that it keeps them closer to the past than the future. This makes them escape to the upper levels.

Architectural Forensics

MSc in Advanced Architectural Design | Architectural Forensics | October 2007

Architectural Forensics exercise: this project aimed at mapping the architectural studio and familiarizing with it. It is based on a play of scales; it is hence a composite of three surfaces: the studio, the table and the city. Only the table surface is displayed in 1:1 scale, whereas the studio and the city elements are inverted (and scaled) to match this specific ‘hierarchy of importance’.
