...Reimagining existing structures
In response to increasing urban densification and changing programmatic requirements, this graduation project explores topping-up of existing buildings as a strategy to enable growth, change, and reconfiguration of a Building over time. The project aims to develop a modular timber construction system informed by the analysis of existing adaptive structural systems. It focuses on embedding adaptability not only within secondary building layers, but also at the level of the primary structure. The proposed system is tested within a site-specific context to evaluate its suitability for long-term transformation, selective renovation, and architectural resilience.

The relationship between architecture and human perception is a complex interplay of cultural, psychological and spatial aspects. Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese interior design concept that aims to promote well-being and harmony by aligning buildings with the flow of energy (Qi). While previous studies have explored Feng Shui as a cultural or psychological phenomenon, there is limited research comparing its perceived spatial effects directly with buildings designed according to Western architectural standards. This thesis addresses this gap by investigating whether the spatial experiences attributed to Feng Shui can be reproduced through universal design principles or whether they represent a culturally specific design logic. The following results will contribute to further dialogue on architectural psychology and the significance of traditional spatial concepts in modern design.
