INTERSTITIALn. a small or narrow space or interval between things or parts, especially when one of a

series of alternating uniform spaces and parts

The project aims for a radical transformation of the generic suburban neighbourhood near Churchill Park by introducing INTERSTITIAL spaces at different scales. A web of intimate relationships is established with the existing neighbourhood, among the residents of the building, and among the family members. The INTERSTITAL spaces are no longer an overlooked and unoccupied interval, but a communicative, interactive and friendly space that strenthens a sense of community.

The atrium that connects four individual units becomes a space of

socialization.

Three bedrooms with openings that look into the living room encourage

more active communication.

TRANSITIONAL SPACES

in collaboration withJ. Read, B. Cartwright, I. Cina, M. Wierzchoslawska 8

"Extra-Small" Living: Prefabrication, Transportation and Assembly

Using a truck bed as a structural shell and pallets as a shading device, this “extra-small” TRANSITIONAL SPACE provides an affordable, sustainable and transportable lifestyle with minimal functions packed in a 40m2 space.

The TRANSITIONAL SPACE is flexible and full of possibilieties, through use of transformable furniture, shading device and features for sustainable living. Eventually, the project envisions formation of a community, a number of houses gathered around a communal kitchen.

12

Production of crude oil is in rapid decline; in the near future, thousands of offshore oil platforms in Gulf of Mexico and around the world will no longer be in use.

Abandoning or demolishing the superstructure is a great economic and ecological loss. Oil rigs, fully equipped with essential programs for living and excellent resources of industrial structure, have a strong potential for the future of architecture.

OFFSHORE proposes renovation of Cantarell Oil Field, an aging supergiant oil complex in Gulf Mexico, into a hotel with warm equatorial climate and exotic view towards the ocean. Essential parts of the superstructure are to be recycled and reused to produce a monumental roof sturcture embracing the nature of ocean waves in gentle curves.

MASK HOUSE

16

"The mask tells a single truth where the face tells many truths in the creases of its fluctuating deceptions and doubts... A mask is a face that lives without living."

The MASK HOUSE is designed for a mask collector who collects, produces, and performs with traditional and ceremonial masks. It is a place of residence, of performance, and of gathering. The house focuses on the concept of duality - contrast between bright and interactive atmosphere of the centre of the house and the secretive and dark display room for the ritual masks.
