3. INTERNATIONAL CONTEST
WONDERLAD - CASA OZ
Year: Summer Internship, 2014
Program Pr: Children Hospital
Team Project: StudioFRA
Unit Scale: 1:100, 1:50, 1:20
Location: Catania, Italy
Given Program: The project
aims to achieve a unique space
area for children suffering from
a malady (i.e. Down syndrome),
for instance to alternative treat-
ments they experience playing
while beeing supervised as well
as leisure and study groups.
THE HOUSE: will be the area
which will be located the main
common functions and activities
of patients
MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACE:
represented by a hall that can
host a total of up to 250 people
for concerts, events, even small
daily activities of the guests.
PROTECTED GARDEN: creates
the greatest connection with
natural environment, where
children can walk or play while
being away from danger.
PARKING SPACE: The area is
reserved for cars and buses
with a capacity of 80 cars,
establishes a connection with
the environment, minimizing the
use of bituminous components
encouragingthe use of the green
space.
4. We have created a place
that can accommodate young
patients and their families for
365 days a year.
WonderLAD’ s existant
functions interact perfectly with
the new structures: HOUSE -
MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACE -
GARDEN, will offer people an
unique experience, which allows
various activities.
This project is built with a
sustainable technology, offering
hospitality and interaction with
the with the environment (these
activities are vital for people
suffering from various maladies).
The internal and external
areas are designed so that they
can be extended at a later date
to accommodate more patients.
WonderLAD, will not only
be a place for treating children
deseases, but also a place
of mutual help. This was our
vision, in addition to the other
requirements identified in the
competition announcement.
5. • Creating a fully integrated
photovoltaic system on the
residences’ roofs that generates
approximately 25kW. The energy
stored in batteries and operated
with the invention, will produce
all the energy needed for the
houses, multifunctional space
and the outdoor spaces. Excess
energy can be exchanged within
the administrative network.
The garden design has
an important role because it is
reserved for guests of the house,
but products grown (vegetables)
may be made available to the
public.
The garden can be
expanded over time, thus
creating new orthogonal forms,
which will allow users to learn
a bit about the marketing
experience of local products.
External visitors will have the
opportunity to buy traditional
products of this part of Sicily
directly from small farmers.
This area will expand in
the south-east of the house and
resume cultivation of indigenous
vegetables such as strawberries,
potatoes, zucchini, but also fruit
trees, olive groves, almond and
citrus. The perimeter is made
of cypress (with windbreak
function).
The whole design
concept is based on energy
considerations. To reduce
energy use as much as possible
and achieve optimal energy
performancelevels,thefollowing
solutions were implemented :
• reducing energy consumption
by using low consumption
lighting (LED)
• Having an integrated
electric control system to allow
foroptimumenergyconsumption
and eliminate waste
•Underfloor air cooling system
tothatcirculatescoolwaterfrom
a cooler powered by PV energy
products .
• Photovoltaic system
• Underfloor heating sys-
tem that uses solar energy to
heat the water.
• Creating a high performance
buildingwithoutthermalbridging
through a properly designed
strategy for high temperatures,
which involves using wood,
wood fiber insulation, cork and
ventilated wall.

House International
Students Contest
Edition 2014: School of
tomorrow - Gaziantep
Year: 5th, semester 2,2014-2015
Type: Concept Design
Eco Technology
Program Project: School
Team Project: 3 persons
Unit Scale: 1:100, 1:20
Location: Gaziantep, Turkey
Given Program: The school
aims to achieve integration to
surrounding natural and cultural
environment. Emphasis should
be placed on feasibility, which
in turn requires structurally
effective and cost-efficient
solutions. The schools’ outdoor
space should be designed in an
environmentally friendly way,
including pedagogical elements
such as a bio-garden, biotope,
playground.
THE SCHOOL: will be the area
where the main common
functions and activities for
children will be located.
PROTECTED GARDEN: creates
the greatest connection with
the natural environment, where
children can walk or play while
being supervised.
PARKING SPACE: The area is
reserved for parent’s cars and
buses, only for a limited time.
7. All activities centered
around an inner courtyard illus-
trate a traditional construction
model for Gazantep.
The courtyard is the out-
door play area, well protected,
because the nurseries are locat-
ed near two streets.
The building was
designed to perfectly integrate
with the slope of the site, so little
intervention was needed - The
red dotted line represents the
initial slope of the site.

between various parts of the
bulding. By connecting different
areas, a fluid traffic is created
and allowing for direct access.
On the ground floor
is the reception area with
multifunctional rooms, equipped
for exhibitions or events. A

and teachers.
Classrooms are grouped
in small numbers, 2-3, with
multifunctional playing areas

8. ECO TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
In this projects are
implemented renewable energy
sources, which work together to
reduce and even eliminate the
consumption of electricity from
the national grid. Thus, in this
proposal are presented:
1) Natural Ventilation
1) Solar energy- evidenced by
solar panels;
2) Wind power- evidenced by
wind turbines
3) Geothermal energy;
4) Hydrogen Fuel- water
splitting;
5)Water recycling;
9. Year: 5th , semester 1, 2013- 2014
Type: Concept Design Architectural
Program Project: Office Tower
Team Project: Individual
Unit Scale: 1:100
Should we build an office tower in a historic center? But nevertheless remain
“invisible”? Can we use a special technique use it in war to become a building
invisible? Should it have at the 1st floor public spaces for students, for workers
and for people who lived arround this area? Can we create an qualitative space in
an office tower? Can we have fresh air and terraces with plants at every 4th floor?
How is it when you have a meeting session in a fully grazed space at 22 floor? But
especially how it is the view of the city when you have dinner at 130m altitude?
Location: Timpuri Noi, Bucharest, Romania
Given Program: Working with a proposal detail urban
planning for 2025 and with a site which has approxi-
mately 13000 square meters.
Special attention to - Public space and how it works
with the office towers.

12. How can we have a relevant lecture of a city who has a long history? How do we approach the city in the 21st
century, a city which cannot be captured in just one “image”? Can we in some way create a framework of the city, for the city?
Can we then conceive our research process as a story, were we first read the city in its multiplicity - Reading the city.
Some part could show us an interesting story which we then can try to understand - Understanding the city.
Only after Reading and Understanding the city we can continue writing the story an contribute to the city - Writing the city.
