Island Lapidarium
My final thesis project that aims to preserve the natural artifacts found on this forgotten Venice island
The Island Lapidarium was made in her honor to restore the lost fragments of the Lagoona and to appease her soul. Here we preserve the island within the old monastery that now acts as the body and memory of this island.

'How Do We Invade Space?'
‘How Do we invade Space’, proposes the question on how do we, as individual entities, invade our surrounding with purpose. How we interact with space our surrounding environment? We are forced to wonder what our responsibilities are when we enter a space with four walls. A space has dimensions, a space has time and has the ability to be tangible. It is our responsibly to make a difference, it is our responsibly to reconfigure it. It is our responsibly to give space a reason.
