ZERO-TO-ZERO
The project began by mapping three territories that the city manages as separate institutions: production, habitation, and ecological repair. Material flows, pollution, labor, settlement, and recovery were drawn together to reveal where one system’s waste could become another system’s resource.
These relationships were translated into three architectural types. Type A organizes production, Type B negotiates dwelling and shared life, and Type C operates as an ecological interface. My work focused on Type A, where the production cycle became the primary rule for structure, access, storage, and expansion.
Rather than composing a finished object, I tested how each phase could leave useful material, energy, or space for the next. Sections and axonometric studies were used to coordinate circulation with industrial processes and to keep maintenance visible.
The resulting architecture is deliberately unfinished. It can grow, contract, and be reconfigured as the cycles it supports change—making infrastructure legible as a collective spatial project.

Project overview
THE PROPOSAL IS NOT A FINAL FORM. The system begins with a material-recovery facility that converts discarded material into construction components and household products. Residential units, workshops, markets, public spaces, and ecological programs are added in both directions. When one loop reaches capacity, the construction system advances to establish the next cluster.
The proposal is not a final form. Structures and units can be assembled, disassembled, repaired, and relocated as material availability, household needs, and environmental conditions change. Three linked cycles - material production, housing adaptation, and ecological remediation-allow the framework to evolve over time.
