Tenorio Castillo Reimagines architecture as mobile, minimal and untethered from the ground. It operates as a transformable macro-suit / micro-architecture that expands or compresses to maximise and minimise volume as needed. In motion, it becomes a self-recharging glider, harvesting convective air currents for energy. An adaptive habitat that moves, transforms and evolves with its environment.
TRANSCEND Studio: Pierandrea Angius Tutors: Konstantina Tsagkaratou, Angel Tenorio Team: Karim Hallak, India Baz, Noa Guy, Behice Ozer, Yujie Wang Transcend explores a hybrid design space between mobility and livability through a multidisciplinary lens spanning architecture, automotive, and aerospace design. Set in a near future marked by ecological pressure and urban saturation, it investigates mobile living as an alternative to rigid infrastructure. The proposal develops adaptive, self sufficient micro architecture focused on minimal space, proxemics, and ergonomics, translating bodily needs into programmatic overlays, reactive surfaces, and transformable functions. Conceived as a macro suit that extends from the body, the system shape shifts through deployable structures and flexible materials. Units operate across ground and air, using gliding as an energy efficient mode that supports harvesting from environmental flows. Architecture becomes migratory and ephemeral, enabling temporary settlements and a closer relationship between humans and nature.
