A project on layering and improvisation in architecture. I decided to ad hoc build layers with materials that were at hand. Through this process of building I was looking for form. I was also looking at representation of this whole process. We can see this problem in most of building catalogues.

A study of ornament in contemporary practice. I wanted ask what could be ornament and its use today. I started with chipboard as my material. Then the project became not only formal but also material, meaning that the building strategies had to account with the used material.

An improvisation exercise. I was looking for signs of ornament in building materials. Supplementary roof tiles and ceramics used in building in general are often decorated with various ornaments. By juxtaposing this readymade ornament with a curated ornament, I designed an object of decoration.

A project on experiencing building. How to experiment with standard building materials. Because of the site I had to use materials used for exterior structures. Concrete blocks are usually combined with poured concrete, but due to their weight, they can be used even on their own. That led to the notion of reuse in the project. To create the longue shape, I covered the concrete blocks with fibreglass. keeping the reuse element I connected these materials with ratchets, widely used as temporary fixations. Building is a process of knowing material and its possibilities. It consists of experience and experiment.

Experimenting with reuse and reinterpretation. I wanted to use Kg pipes, a standard building material, and juxtapose them with almost platonic forms. This juxtaposition of materials then acts as LESS-MORE. Here it is an object-object relation.

The design of the table board reacts to the conditions of the room. Those are that a table is already there and must stay there. The building is then simple. I just must attach the board to the table. For that I used standard clamps.

The chair deliberately discusses the mythical Rietveld De-Stijl chairs. It is accepting and reinterpreting their formal and material clarity but refusing their structural ambiguity. With this notion I designed the chair from standard wooden profiles, plywood, and screws for joints.
