Hidden Boxes

by Yahya Kashi for Kasa Office

The Hidden Boxes project responds to the ongoing dominance of monotonous spatial structures in contemporary architecture, despite historical concepts like Raumplan, Domino, and Universal Plan. It seeks to deconstruct these configurations to create a new synthesis, addressing both internal architectural concerns as spatial organization, the Mass/Void relationship, and surface interactions and external factors, including climate, privacy, and cultural needs.
