    The Shadow

    Nestled on the outskirts of Acconia, a charming town in the Catanzaro province, the Roman Baths in Curinga stand resilient, a testament to the ages, dating back to an era lost in time. These architectural remnants, nearly reaching their original roof height, exist not merely as ruins but as a poignant connection, tying the past…

    Geode Library

    The Geode Library is a space designed for the people of Karantina to interact and get exposed to academia. The design was extracted from the fact that children mainly inhabited the site, and the poverty they have to endure, making their access to education very difficult.

  • What is Architecture?

    A response to “The Temporary Contemporary” by Sylvia Lavin and “Environment, c. 1973” by Reinhold Martin Architecture could be taken from different perspectives to render different understandings of itself.
