Challenge

The thesis explored a complex and speculative urban proposal involving transformation over time, participation and adaptive systems. The challenge was to turn these ideas into a visual story that would be engaging, understandable and easy to follow.

Approach

I translated the thesis into a sequence of hand-drawn scenes, diagrams and urban moments that unfold like a story. Recurring characters, architectural elements and simple visual cues guide the viewer through the project step by step, making the proposal feel more accessible and memorable.

Outcome

A cohesive visual narrative that gives the thesis a distinct identity and helps a complex architectural proposal unfold as a clear and engaging story.
