Liminal waters
Discovering the productive liminality and metamorphic capacity of spaces in transition
A city is continuously evolving. It expands, reshapes, and reconfigures based on certain conditions that trigger a chain of transformative reactions. During the process, certain areas remain not fully integrated into the urban fabric. Their liminal nature expressed in the state of transition makes them potential nodes for regeneration and spatial recreation. Each of these spaces exists within a unique cultural, environmental, and historical context, shaped by the interplay of various elements. A central focus of this thesis is the transformative potential of the water element and its significance in forming a place’s character in the context of the city of Madrid.
Like many other European urban centres, Madrid is confronted by the increasing impact of climate change. Prolonged droughts and high temperatures are affecting living conditions and thus well-being.
The project seeks to explore the city’s historical and infrastructural connection to water and underscore its enduring significance. It reinterprets the conventional way of water treatment and thus presents water infrastructure and management processes as a part of urban life.
It aims to reestablish a seemingly lost connection between Madrid's residents and the historically significant Manzanares River. Proposed interventions alongside the riverbank including a wellness centre reveal water’s regenerative, healing, and transformative capacities as essential to urban resilience, architectural expression and creation of comfort. ...

The paradox of a modernist craftsman
Marcel Breuer - the mass-produced craftsman masterpiece
Marcel Breuer is an iconic figure not only in the world of architecture but also in design. The interesting turn in his career and his professional journey from a craftsman to a designer and later to an architect gives a very good example of the important role of craft in architecture. The following paper analyses selected projects from the different periods of his career development. A red thread is defined through the years in terms of design approach and style. His work is analysed and used as a starting point on a discussion about the current architectural development. The paper offers interesting comparative analysis and conclusions about the place of art and craft in architecture nowadays and the existing paradox between it and the industrialization and mass production taking place.
