Haggerston Baths (HB) remained a cornerstone of local life until 1999. Since then, it has been "abandoned" for 25 years. However, in an ecological perspective, HB have actually been a remarkable process of "urban rewilding." The site has quietly woven itself into a tight-knit ecological network with the nearby canal and city farm.

In response to the population shifting needs of the Limehouse neighbourhood, this project reimagines an underused children's activity centre as an inclusive indoor facility for both older and younger residents. The design re-establishes the building as a shared social infrastructure for intergenerational exchange, supporting reading, dining, and movement-based activities across age groups. By addressing the current lack of senior-accessible indoor space in this area, the project explores how adaptive reuse can extend the social life of existing architecture and foster community resilience.

The project transforms the part of the deteriorating Artiach Biscuit Factory in Zorrotzaurre into a student
centre serving three nearby institutions. Situated in a ruin with no roof and overgrown vegetation, the
design preserves the material memory of the existing structure while introducing locally adaptive, fulllife-
cycle building materials. It responds to two urgent questions raised in previous research: How can we
minimise demolition-based emissions in post-industrial urban renewal? And how can buildings embody
environmental responsibility without compromising durability or safety? This intervention is both a
response to architectural degradation.

This speculative project proposes a walkway system in Kew Gardens that serves both cherry-blossom viewers and leafcutter ants, an insect species known for its mutualistic relationship with the trees. While enhancing safety and accessibility for pedestrians, the design preserves insect mobility through ant-scaled surface grooves and internal channels. Visually, the walkway draws on a hanami-inspired seasonal colour palette.
