architectural lexicon on void, 2019-ongoing
This work introduces an interconnected lexicon which builds an open-ended architectural vocabulary. It generates the method of an ongoing PhD research on understanding the concept of void in architecture with an interdisciplinary approach. It discusses architecture through an intangible concept and this discussion evolves into an interactive lexicon based on relational concepts adopted from different disciplines. This open-ended lexicon will be updated constantly and can be followed via the website.
meshwithME, 2017
An installation proposal for underbridge sites to discuss urban vacancies and the role of architecture. It stands on the viewpoint that interprets architecture as a means of creating meaningful void rather than filling it. It offers to “mesh with” such urban voids and urban life both architecturally, culturally and socially.
Does architecture fill urban vacancies by building?
Is architecture supposed to be discussed on the basis of fullness?
Can architecture create meaningful void?
Can this void open a new space for new architectural approaches?
