Architecture of Crowds
2026

physical installation, animation, book with architectural renderings

Architecture of Crowds is an architectural probe into the question of crowd-ness. It examines contemporary forms of crowds — groups of people of varying sizes, scales, speeds, and motivations — and the ways in which they are predetermined and further shaped by the built environment. Understanding architecture as a means of organizing human bodies leads to the discovery of its often violent political power.

The text is introduced by a historical analysis that examines how the topic of crowds was adapted by different historical periods, tracing the transformations of crowds from early modernity to the present day, and focusing on the genesis of the long view from above and the image of the crowd. The text then examines contemporary forms of crowds, drawing on Elias Canetti’s slow and fast crowds, from megachurch congregations and consumer crowds to commuters in dense transit systems or violent rioters. In all these cases, architecture frames the crowd as a powerful, and therefore potentially violent, backdrop.

Returning to the Vampire Castle
2026

short film together with Jasmína Lustigová

Returning to the Vampire Castle explores the adoption of Western architectural paradigms in Central Europe through the lens of a vampire story, set on the grounds of a polarizing Czech symbol - the Prague Castle. A Western starchitect is invited to materialize new values by planning a number of landmarks and interventions at the Castle. Just as Jonathan Harker once set out on a mission to Transylvania, she is now tasked with anchoring a Central European identity, which in her eyes hovers in a liminal space between reality and imagination, civilization and mystery.

After her arrival, she is met with vampires who dwell and rule within the castle’s walls. The vampire genre of the 19th century was based on orientalist fabulation about the unknown East—a distant region inhabited by dark and dreadful things, awaiting salvation by a pure soul. Prague Castle, ever unfinished since the ninth century, now faces pressure for change.

The Storm
2025

animated video commissioned by Eva Franch i Gilabert and José Luis di Vicente for Venice Biennale of Architecture. Together with Jana Řehořová

The Ebro Delta, shaped by 500 years of terraforming, faces climate threats and disappearance. The Storm explores local weather modification practices like “coheteras” for storm breaking, highlighting community-driven geoengineering. It envisions future speculative architectures to preserve deltas globally, blending ecology, agriculture, and habitation amidst the planetary crisis.
