Focus

We work in an age of climatic, political, and economic extremes, shaped by a building industry that still extracts, wastes, and demolishes by default. Integrative Design | Extremes challenges this linear model by advancing circular, regenerative architecture grounded in material care. Using outer space extremes as a lens, we move across scales – from cities and ecologies to buildings, materials, and microbes. We see architecture as stewardship across the earth-space continuum, where design must prioritize reuse, repair, adaptation, and disassembly. Through research, teaching, and interdisciplinary collaboration, we develop resilient, low-waste systems that turn architecture into a lasting social and ecological resource.

Teaching

The teaching focus is centered around Integrative Design, which seeks to address global challenges and crises by emphasizing essential aspects in various educational activities such as lectures, seminars, and design studios.
