KTH Project

Bike-sharing hub, conceptual project

Developed in the fifth year of the Integrated Master’s in Architecture at KTH – Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm (late 2020), this project began as a conceptual exploration of absence, conflict, and void. Through graphic analysis, these abstract notions gradually transformed into a spatial narrative.

This process laid the foundation for a bike-sharing hub program, merging ideas of mobility, temporality, and collective experience in the public realm. The project culminated in the construction of a 1:1 scale prototype, reinforcing the role of full-scale building in architectural experimentation and critical engagement.
