  This paper presents the design, simulation, and physical prototyping of a pneumatic-actuated adaptive origami system based on Miura-ori tessellation patterns. The work develops a computational workflow integrating parametric geometric modeling, finite element analysis (FEA), and custom fabrication techniques to produce a folding surface capable of controlled morphological transformation in response to pneumatic actuation.

  The design process is structured around three interlocking phases: geometric parameterization, structural simulation, and material prototyping. A Miura-ori base pattern is adapted and parameterized to accommodate pneumatic bladder integration within fold valleys, enabling localized actuation without compromising the global folding behavior of the tessellation.

  The results demonstrate a viable pathway for integrating pneumatic actuation into origami-based structural systems, with implications for adaptive architectural skins, deployable structures, and soft robotic applications.

• Giardini del Palazzo Giallongo di Fiumetorto

  Radical Reuse, Inhabiting Ruins · BSc Thesis · 90134, Palermo PA

  +

  Palazzo Giallongo di Fiumetorto — 18th century Baroque Palazzo in the heart of Palermo’s historical center, under direct influence of one of the historical street markets, Ballaro. Palazzo with a history from under nobel families to ruins today. Giardini del Palazzo Giallongo di Fiumetorto presents a radical reuse of Palazzo ruins and neighboring housing ruins adjacent to it. Main motive is a juxtaposition between dynamic street market and a secluded and tranquil oasis of social housing keeping the fabric of the Palazzo ruin.

  Planting matrix of the secluded tranquil Garden of Palazzo. The matrix includes calming flowers and shrubs close to the inner fassade facing the courtyard and fruit bearing trees and shrubs closer to the main lain — inviting dynamic encounter with the naturally drawn fauna of pollinators such as bees and birds with the community.

  Main typology — inhabiting the walls of palazzo ruins. Almost half a meter thick Palazzo walls extend to inhabit a Belt of functions while the living, resting and intimate spaces face the secluded Garden in the cortyard.

• Cronen Hive

  Generative Morphologies V5.0 · Postanthropocene Deep Space Utopia

  +

  A scenario in the postanthropocene era, where Artificial Intelligence merges with organic materiality to produce a mutated trans-human megahive.

  The Cronen-Hive, referring to the conceptual monsters by David Cronenberg, grows larger by accumulating carbon-based resources and printing skin-like tissue. Its visceral aesthetic is interrupted here and there by hardware veins; cables and data transferring cirquits. The Cronen-Hive is not compact; it is a megacity of agents that merge parasitically and unmerge, when needed, in order to forage resources.

  The mother of the Cronen-Hive is floating in deep space, in growth loops.

  Growth in loops through evolution of the fiber substructure of the composite elastic fibers that swirl around to expand the skeleton and over time reinforce themselves with endless weaving patterns.

• Museum Werkbundsiedlung

  1130, Wien

  +

  The museum is dedicated to the Werkbundsiedlung and is located on a hill across from it. This gives the visitor a view of the settlement and the entire city.

  The project was planned according to a 9x9m grid system. The structure can be understood as a second level above the landscape. The utopian thought wants to create an endless grid, the structure of which can be built over the whole city as a new level. This way blocks, one by one, can rise above the city and form a whole new structure.

  The supports of the building blend with the trunks of the existing trees, forming a semi-artificial forest. However, the feeling of a walk in the forest does not only remain outside in the landscape, but is also carried into the building itself. You are at the height of the treetops and you can see them through openings in the facade. This is how the second level of the forest is formed.

• Sea — Urchin — Igami

  Design to Build 1:1 · 1020, Wien

  +
  images/design/sea-urchin.jpg

  Based on an origami pattern known as the “resch triangle,” which consists of equilateral and right-angled triangles, the objective was to develop a kinematic system capable of transitioning from a flatstate to an erect position or exhibiting movement through the application of air pressure.

  Main challenges involved developing cost-effective DIY actuator-pistons capable of maintaining satisfactory airtightness and generating sufficient force to lift the structure. Additionally, designing affordable joints that allowed for multi-directional movement while remaining lightweight.

  The material system utilised carefully selected materials for their specific properties. Bamboo sticks were chosen due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Coarse meshed fabric was employed both to envelop the structure and as a means to reinforce the joints. Aluminium was utilised for the construction of DIY actuators, while 3D printed joints and parts (PET-G) were used to facilitate the assembly and connection of all components.

  The S.O.S.-GEO concept addresses the escalating challenges of space debris accumulation and satellite end-of-life management in GEO. This design study project proposes a scalable, rotating space station to enable in-orbit repair, refuelling, and debris recycling, extending satellite lifespans and enabling construction and manufacturing of future megastructures such as SBSPP (space based solar power plants) and AI data centres in geostationary orbit.

  Sponge Network presents a series of physical experiments investigating water collection, storage and passive irrigation through a modular network based on sponge’s structure. The microscopic studies reveil two main matters consistent in sponges — spicules and spongin. The spicules aggregates are floating in a mass of absorbent colagen based spongin mass giving the matter its stiffness. In this series of physical experiments the spicules forms are 3D printet Pet-G and the absorbent mass consists of biodegradable tissue and porous matter.

• Climate Nomadism

  images/design/climate-nomadism.jpg

  Climate Nomadism combines indigenous wisdom with biotechnological advancements to regenerate devastated ecosystems. As climate extremes intensify — rising temperatures, sea levels, and water scarcity — hundreds of millions face displacement by 2050. Mobile solutions are crucial, echoing nomadic migrations where the yurt symbolizes adaptation and resilience. This intervention integrates natural processes like decomposition and regeneration, emphasising materiality as fluid structure accepting environmental and social influences.

  The proposed structure features primary highly adaptable elements like wool, clay and straw (as mudbricks), wood, and stone — essential elements in architecture of the ancient cultures on the nomad’s historical pathways. Decomposition as the intangible force of transformation takes the positive turn, representing the time lapse of something appealing rather than unpleasant, showing the diverse faces of decay.

  Decay by Design: In nature’s intricate cycle, phytocenosis of natural zones absorbs nutrients and water to support plant growth, which subsequently nourishes sheep for wool production. As wood and wool decompose, microorganisms and fungi transform them into organic matter, enriching the soil and fostering the formation of limestone. Weathered limestone releases minerals that, mixed with organic-rich clay, can be used to create mudbricks.
