Public spaces are the places where people come together in the physical environment. They are precious as they have in them the possibility of bringing together people with different cultures and backgrounds. In some cases, however these important spots within our cities are not designed to maximize their capacity for human exploration. As seen...

Cities can be investigated as machines of optimal form, function and production. With this kind of abstraction the architect can forget the social content of the city. Skopje, the capital city of North-Macedonia, has both busy social spaces as empty areas. This project is a proposal to reintegrate the social component into a complex and formal...

My graduation project [Untitled] re-establishing urban dialogues in complex cityscapes, investigates the impact of qualitative public spaces in disorienting urban contexts.

Skopje, in the last decades, underwent a dramatic spatial shift, due to transformation (traditional to modern), natural disasters (seismic destruction), and resurgence (re-plan and reconstruction). These changes have created a complex city, which over time became even more diverse through the creation of various cityscapes by both residents and...

The green strips can be found in many roads/streets in Bogota as an urban infrastructure for dividing vehicles and traffic. However, on top of this regulating function, it can be observed that the citizens of Bogota have the tendency to spontaneously appropriate the green strips in ways that’s convenient for them.

How could public spaces tell us about the city? How does public space take part in our thoughts and affect behaviors? What makes the groundscape? What embodies its essence? And what will people perceive when lowering their gazes? I argue the process of making groundscape is not only constructing a horizontal layer of urban tissue but also...

The project "White Elephant" investigates the relationship between individual and the public space by looking at the practices of the "Homo-Sacers" who are excluded from the public sphere, yet occupying the public space. By analyzing how they inhabit and appropriate the space for their needs, the research brings up important questions about how...

The project is located in Armenia : the corner–exposed neighbourhood of Teusaquillo, the district of Bogota. Both the theoretical study and research carried out on site lead to the discovery of certain problems the area is dealing with. Due to security issues the citizens tend to find the easiest but not necessarily most fit solutions to provide...

Probing into the parameters of a ‘wall’, this project seeks to empower the boundary wall in reactivating street life along the private-public street boundary, where front-yards were originally planned but now missing. In Teusaquillo of Bogota, people have regretfully took ‘walls’ as mere devices to define territories. Yet, there are latent...

Leung, Cherk Ga (author)
As architects, by constructing the conditions for people to collectively perform alternative ways of gathering, maybe we can agitate the impermanent boundaries around what is normal and accepted. My intervention along El Parkway is a paved ground that makes it possible for people to collectively experience the public realms anew through the...

During the study visit to Bogotá, I discovered Rogelio Salmona’s architecture – as fascinating once I got to know it, as it had been obscure before the trip. There were many buildings of his that shared an intriguing quality of slowly revealing itself in space rather that disclosing everything they had to offer at once, but one in particular...

Informal actors possess a practical knowledge of the city, a sort of ‘secret know-how’, of how to move and operate in an environment that is unwelcoming to them. How could this knowledge be used as a tool or input of urban design? By considering the knowledge and ways of operating of the informal actors in a city, the project incorporates the...

Cities are becoming places for Instagramable experiences and Disneyfication. People are moving as fast as possible to get from one place to the other. We often forget to really look and be aware of our surroundings. I believe that some parts of the city should be dedicated to a more slower, more enjoyable, experimental way of moving through and...

In the face of growing densification pressures in Teusaquillo, Bogota, this project revolved around deriving a method to activate the interior space of a typical urban block for (a) the augmentation of public space and (b) the further proliferation of present and future activities. The resulting method synthesizes a variety of architectural...

An extensive analysis on the boulevard of Casablanca, La Corniche, showed that this large leisure area acts as an exclusive strip that surrounds itself with clubs that act as a border between the boulevard and the ocean. Thereby turning the focus on the artificiality of the boulevard instead of on the natural landscape of the beach and the ocean...

To deal with this ever congesting metropolis, the French Europeans and later wealthy Moroccans, have established an entire region to escape from Casablanca's everyday. The research investigates this relationship between the escape from the everyday into spaces for...
