RETHINKING REUSE
2023 / New York, NY
A university course at Parsons
This course aims to create an emotional and intellectual connection with the life forms and environments which bear the burden of our choices. How can designers, artists and critical thinkers create and engage with objects, materials and systems in ways that are socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable? The course culminates in individual student work, where waste is treated as a raw material, studied and developed into a product based on the qualities and behaviour of the object.

ALDEA GUAYACÁN
2021 / Oaxaca, MX
An ecological community in Puerto Escondido
The site plan consists of a series of “aldeas” (Spanish for ‘hamlets’). The houses are placed among the native vegetation around shared gardens. Their footprints occupy areas of low vegetation density. The project is off the grid, generating its own solar power.

ROCA BLANCA
2020 / Oaxaca, MX
A holiday house in Puerto Escondido
The site faces the mountains to the north and the ocean to the south. The house consists of a platform and a wall. The platform provides a clear ground among the tall grasses, and the wall divides it into a space for the day and a space for the night. The rooms are arranged according to the sun path.
