Beijing Boom Tower

A vertical neighborhood for a segregated society

How far can the city be extruded and remain livable? Can suburbia be compacted? Which typologies can survive on the Chinese housing market? The BBT project explores these questions for the year 2020.

FREEZE [H2O] - Humans to Oceans

FREEze is a response to the rising need to achieve a non-political space. A space that can absorb the lives and ideas of an evolved humanity. A space that is highly utopian yet painfully necessary at a time of increased global tension, diminished democracy and intensified censorship. A space void of territorial concerns. A futuristic Noah’s Ark of ideas roaming freely as the world’s sea levels are rising. A showcase.
