Diploma project

Gardinen

The window—a portal between inside and outside—plays a key role in providing thermal comfort within a space through basic temperature control. Drawing on similar principles, this installation, designed for window displays, uses passive cooling methods such as water evaporation, airflow, and shading. Its form, combined with the use of locally sourced materials gathered by people living outside urban areas, encourages reflection and dialogue about architecture’s role in shaping space—particularly in relation to thermal comfort and social inequality. The project advocates for architectural practices that are both climate-conscious and socially responsible.
