The concept of the "Chair Building" project is to transform the iconic Shell Chair designed by Hans J. Wegner into a unique architectural masterpiece. This is achieved through the use of rendering techniques such as scaling, distorting, skewing, and rotating the chair design to create a novel building design. By using the chair as inspiration for the building's form, the project aims to blur the boundaries between furniture design and architecture, resulting in a visually striking and thought-provoking structure. The Chair Building project represents a bold and imaginative exploration of the intersection between two distinct design fields.

The "Rendering Photograph" project involves creating an ambiguous image that combines aspects of a photograph of an interior space, a photograph of a physical model, and a rendering of a digital model, based on an artwork by Raya Sader Bujana. The resulting image is not completely a photograph or rendering, nor is it completely an image of a model or full-scale space. Instead, it occupies a space between the real and abstract, creating a unique and intriguing visual experience.
