RENABUMA Research Project September 2025 Renabuma is a research and construction project developed in Ghana that investigates context-specific building systems based on local materials, craftsmanship, and digitally assisted design processes.The project combines hands-on construction with research-driven experimentation, aiming to understand how traditional construction knowledge can be translated into structured design methodologies and, ultimately, into digitally …
REGROW FLAX Research Project April 2023 RegrowFlax is a research project that explores construction-driven form generation through the use of natural materials, digital design methods, and fabrication-aware workflows.Rather than imposing a predefined geometry, the project investigates how architectural form can emerge from the logic of material behaviour, construction sequencing, and fabrication constraints. The system combines …
RESIDENCE Research Project April 2024 Residence is a research project focused on the development of a low-carbon construction system based on natural materials and digitally driven fabrication processes.The project investigates the combination of willow, jute, and earth with computational design, algorithms, and automation to produce prefabricated building elements with significantly reduced environmental impact. The research …
Robotics Tile Printing Project Digital Fabrication. Concept Design February 2020 Robotics Tile Printing Project is a direct commission from Porcelanosa Grupo to produce a concept design for a robotics tile system construction. The project tries to preserve the logic and standardization protocols of the tiling construction systems. However, It seeks to reveal the natural expression …
Robotics Clay Printing Project Digital Fabrication and Construction July 2016 This project represents the seed of the master’s thesis project Bioclimatic Machine but also outlines many of the interests and research paths develop years after about robotics and technology applied to architecture. It is part of a scholarship granted by Universidad Europea de Madrid to …
GREEN BELT 7 BRIDGES Concept & Executive Design January 2015 Green Belt 7 Bridges is a project developed by the students, teachers & other staff at the Universidad Europea de Madrid. It is located in Shangai in Pudong’s district and consists of 7 bridges that will be part of new urban development in the south of …
BIOCLIMATIC MACHINE Final Thesis Project June 2017 Bioclimatic Machine is a two-year research project where algorithms, digital fabrication, BIM models, GIS data files, weather & environmental analysis have been implemented into the design process to enrich the dialogue with the preexisting conditions. The project settles in the city of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Hanoi is …
