Student: Behrad Daneshfar @braddanesh

University of Toronto @uoftdaniels
Thesis Seminar: Ghost Ship Urbanism

Scale 1:25
Materials: MDF, PLA, matboard, plywood, veneer, paper
Base: 35 cm x 86 cm

"A model for my thesis design. The study is on Ghost Ship Urbanism, a territorial condition shaped by hidden maritime systems influenced by economic sanctions and political neglect. This phenomenon is examined through the city of Bandar Abbas, Iran’s economic gateway, where the influx of migrant labour and illicit port-driven economies has produced housing precarity and abandoned maritime infrastructure.

In response, I investigate how decommissioned cargo ships can be reorganized as adaptive housing for port workers and their families. The project positions the reuse of discarded infrastructure as an architectural strategy within port-territories, revealing how global shipping systems simultaneously produce surplus material and unmet social needs."

"Vox Silentii", San Vittore del Lazio, Italy

Students: Martyna Kuberska @qberska and Krzysztof Braszczok

School: Wydział Architektury Politechniki Śląskiej, Gliwice @wydzial_architektury_polsl

Scale 1:100
Materials: Hand-formed building gypsum, sand, white cardboard, balsa wood, dried gypsophila

The project proposes an adaptation of the ruins of Santa Croce. Its primary aim is to introduce the smallest possible intervention within the historic structure, preserving its existing character and spatial integrity.

A lightweight, temporary construction is carefully inserted into the site, respecting the surrounding terrain while subtly redefining its use. The intervention encourages contemplation within the atrium, where a memory garden is located, dedicated to soldiers who fell during World War II.

A Chapel In The Forest, Mjånger, Norway

Student: Chen Wei @weis_project @makenosence

University: Bergen School of Architecture, Norway @bergenschoolofarchitecture
Studio: Universal X (Stone course), organised by Espen Vatn & Tord R. Træen, during Aug. - Dec. 2023

Scale 1:50
Materials: Plywood, clay, super glue
Dimensions: 560 mm x 1400 mm

This extension project is located in Mjånger, Norway, and is based on an existing cemetery with a bell tower and a fence. The extension consists of a wall and a square chapel at the rear and service rooms used by the priest.

The entire chapel is embedded in the mountain and hidden in the surrounding tall pine forest and the wall in front. In the innermost corner of the chapel, a tørrmur (dry stone wall) was built, while the rest of the retaining wall is made of reinforced concrete. This is to create a visual centre within the church space and to allow water to enter the chapel and flow through the cemetery, connecting the two. The project aims to explore themes of old and new, life and death, through concrete material means.

C&R House, Cañadas de Obregón, Jalisco, Mexico, 2026

Architecture: Estudio Iván Barba @estudio_ivanbarba

Scale 1:50
Materials: Rosa morada wood, walnut detailing, balsa wood, 3D printed pieces

Photography: @itzamnagc

The project arises as a response to a vital transition: retirement. Envisioned for a couple, this dwelling advocates for inhabiting the ordinary with dignity, fostering a bond with the scenery and with time dripping slowly like honey.

The house is set within the site boundaries in a restrained manner, allowing for the preservation of an existing tree and the incorporation of garden patios as living extensions of the interior space.

Naturally responding to the evolving needs of aging, and beyond mere functionality, the project proposes a spatial quality that accompanies the passage of time through soft lighting, close proximity to greenery, and a calming spatial flow, seeking an architecture that neither tires nor overwhelms while aging with dignity.

Casa Guadalupe, Gijón, Spain, 2025 (built)
@casaguadalupegijon

Architecture: HANGHAR @hanghar.llc

Casa Guadalupe represents HANGHAR's commitment to a contemporary form of housing grounded in industrialized construction, capable of combining efficiency, sustainability, and material quality without losing its connection to the Asturian landscape.

From a typological standpoint, the house is rooted in the local context through two figures deeply embedded in Asturian territory: the agricultural shed and the casa mariñana. In a suburban environment that is in fact more rural than residential, these typologies continue to organize the territory, its scale, and the way plots are occupied.

Casa Guadalupe draws from them its clear volumetric logic, its direct relationship to the ground and the climate, and a restrained way of building, all reinterpreted through a contemporary language and a dry, prefabricated construction system.

Casa Guadalupe, Gijón, Spain, 2025 (built)
@casaguadalupegijon

Architecture: HANGHAR @hanghar.llc

Casa Guadalupe represents HANGHAR's commitment to a contemporary form of housing grounded in industrialized construction, capable of combining efficiency, sustainability, and material quality without losing its connection to the Asturian landscape.

From a typological standpoint, the house is rooted in the local context through two figures deeply embedded in Asturian territory: the agricultural shed and the casa mariñana. In a suburban environment that is in fact more rural than residential, these typologies continue to organize the territory, its scale, and the way plots are occupied.

Casa Guadalupe draws from them its clear volumetric logic, its direct relationship to the ground and the climate, and a restrained way of building, all reinterpreted through a contemporary language and a dry, prefabricated construction system.

Public Bath in former brickyard, "Alte Ziegelei - Landbad Bordenau", Lower Saxony, Germany

Architecture: Nick Chadde @nickchadde / Studio Copan ~ Architektur + Städtebau @studiocopan.arch

University: Bauhaus-University Weimar @bauhaus_uni
Professor: Jörg Springer @baukunst.weimar

Scale 1:100
Material: Plaster (spaghetti casting)

By deconstructing the ruinous roof-framework of the "Old Brickyard" just outside the village of Bordenau, Lower Saxony, Germany, the landmarked "Zig-Zag-oven" is being uncovered. The contemporary extension holds the function of a Landbad ( bath in a rural environment) and approaches the existing brick-oven spatially and atmospherically.

The project aims to address the issue of an increasing number of vacant buildings in the rural periphery and to raise an awareness for local craftsmanship and its direct connection to the built environment. The adaptive reuse of an inoperative, landmarked brick-oven built in the 1930s serves as an example for constituting an appropriate and contemporary sense of togetherness for the rural community.

Locals and travelers alike are enabled to experience a former place of production by the public function of the Landbad, which respects the historic importance of the site and strengthens the identity of the village.

Awards (selection):
• Winner Gold, Category Newcomer - Fritz-Höger Award for Brick-architecture 2017
• YTAA, Venice Biennale - Shortlist 2018
• Egon-Eiermann-Preis - Rural Architecture 2017
• Special Honors of the Thuringia Parliament - Contributions to the built culture 2017

Budapest Towers – Mixed-use Building, Brazil, 2025

Architecture: Studio ac17 @studio.ac17

Scale 1:200
Materials: Chipboard, kraft paper, triplex paperboard, acetate sheet, sawdust

Budapest Towers is a conceptual mixed-use complex designed to promote urban permeability, visual lightness, and the integration between public and private spaces. The project consists of a commercial base with retail spaces, cultural areas, and an internal public plaza connected through multiple pedestrian accesses, topped by a landscaped terrace that mediates the transition to the residential and corporate towers above.

The residential tower features 15 floors with façades defined by exposed steel exoskeletons, wooden brise-soleils, and glass balconies, while the corporate tower contains 10 floors with reflective glass façades and vertical metallic shading devices for thermal control. Both towers are connected by a bridge volume inspired by Budapest's Chain Bridge, housing leisure and social spaces while symbolizing connection, transition, and the integration of different functions within a single architectural ensemble.

"New Blatten"

Students: Luca Bächler @lucabachler, Lukas Kauz @lukas_chuz

University: ETH Zürich @arch.ethz, Fall 2025
Professors: Emanuel Christ, Christoph Gantenbein @christgantenbein

Scale 1:50
Materials: Wood, cardboard, steel, gypsum

A rock–ice–debris avalanche erased Blatten’s historic village and left an unstable terrain. Rebuilding a dispersed settlement with adequate safety and quality would take years, time the displaced community does not have. The project proposes an early return to the site, all-owing life and social structures to reestablish while the ground continues to stabilize.

The intervention begins with a linear pier structure extending from the valley road into the debris field. Raised above unstable ground and anchored in stable rock, it provides access, services, and a first point of occupation. Rather than rebuilding the village immediately, it concentrates communal life into a single collective form, drawing on historical models of shared living in remote contexts.

This structure brings together housing, shared spaces, and essential functions within a compact system. It supports daily life, exchange, and continuity of the community under provisional conditions. Overtime, it can shift in use and intensity, responding to changing needs and improving ground stability.

The project understands settlement as a gradual process. It prioritizes presence over completion, continuity over form, and adaptation over permanence.

"The death and life of Van Horne"

Students: Olivier Lacroix @olivierlacrx, Matisse Poiré-Prest @__matisse_, Cloe Rivest, Ji Young Chung

McGill University, Montreal, QC, Winter 2026
@mcgill_architecture

Scale 1:200, 1:600
Materials: Walnut, maple wood, basswood, plexiglass

The project reimagines existing infrastructure as a catalyst for sustainable building practices in Montreal. Instead of treating demolition as waste, the proposal positions locally sourced buildings and infrastructure slated for removal as resources, transforming reclaimed materials into a new public building.

Located between Parc des Carrières and Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Park, the project connects neighborhoods that have long been divided by rail infrastructure. The reused structure becomes a central feature, supporting a new elevated public realm that invites people to gather, move through the site, and spend time outdoors.

Inside, the building functions as a hub for learning and making. Workshops and shared spaces allow visitors to repair objects and explore material reuse. A testing and reuse facility studies salvaged construction materials, helping develop more reliable ways to use them in future projects.

Vertical Theater / Adaptive Reuse, Los Angeles, CA

Student: Matthew Vallejo @matt_val_430

University: Woodbury School of Architecture @woodbury_soa
2nd Year B.Arch (Spring Studio)

Scale: 1/8" = 1'-0"
Materials: Made with 3D-printed columns. Original building and floors in basswood. The facade combines 3D-printed parts with cut mesh, finished with spray paint.
Dimensions: 54" (H) x 24" (W) x 32" (L)

The project is an Adaptive Reuse proposal for the historic 5225 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. The design introduces a vertical performing arts theater, utilizing a concept of juxtaposition. By translating the fluid movement of the performing arts into the building's structural form, the new addition acts as a physical manifestation of the art within, creating a dynamic dialogue with the existing tower.

Dimensions: 54" (H) x 24" (W) x 32" (L)

The project is an Adaptive Reuse proposal for the historic 5225 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. The design introduces a vertical performing arts theater, utilizing a concept of juxtaposition. By translating the fluid movement of the performing arts into the building's structural form, the new addition acts as a physical manifestation of the art within, creating a dynamic dialogue with the existing tower.
