SLOW SPACE
The focus of this thesis is to investigate the role of food consumption as a trigger for an architectural experience, resulting in designing an infrastructure which will serve as base for temporary public events and socializing. The research is based on the notion that we live in a fast paced world today, where we don’t stop often enough to enjoy our daily activities and we’ve somehow ceased to appreciate the fine aspects of things we come to pass with daily such as food, as well as our environment. With this in mind as well as the […]

OBESITY
This project studies obesity. It will try to unravel relationship between dietary habits, education and architecture. Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. Such condition may be understood as an access accumulation of  energy in an organism, created by the disbalance between calories consumed and discharged. This is a consequence of several intertwined factors such as: genetic, psychological, cultural, social and environmental. This project will explore the relevance obesity and the idea of energy accumulation in architecture, both as a theoretical model […]

EDIBLE SAFARI
This project engages with the relationship between human and animal habitats. It is concerned with the position of the live stock food production within the city limits;  and investigates  relationship between residential ares and farming landscapes. Moreover the project aims to establish beneficial relationship between recreational grounds, such as city parks and farming land such as grazing field. Although cities occupies only 2 % percent of Earth’s surface, they actually consume 75% of its produce. This is also true for live stock, as it still makes  1/3 of the overall diet of human’s population. Yet, farming is isolated from city […]

LIMINAL ECOLOGIES : yielding suburban landscapes
This project investigates the marginal space in the city embodied in suburbia with the aim to ascertain how this space can be used to establish communication between the city and the landscapes that feed it and between people and the natural state and origin of their food. Urban – rural dichotomies in the 21st century have drastically changed the face of suburbia as an idealized housing model into transitional spaces that can be likened to biological ecotones. Just as the ecoton represents the place of conflict between two ecologies, the suburbia represents the place […]
