Referencing traditional Polish spa drinking vessels used in sanatoria and mineral water resorts, the prototype reimagines the cup as a communal object with multiple spouts for multispecies use.
Designed around a shared source of mineral water, the object reflects on collective rituals of healing, regeneration, and care. It proposes the sanatorium not as a space organised around individual treatment, but as an environment inhabited by multiple bodies gathering around extracted natural resources.

Inspired by the rhythm of The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe, Veille unfolds within a former type foundry as a composition of layered temporalities. Interior fragments hidden within the space, recorded sounds of the building, and narratives from long-term inhabitants are set in relation to the material agency of the space. Narratives are reinterpreted through AI prompts and Ouija-board interactions, producing continuous overlaps between past and present.
Typefaces once produced in the building are re-materialised and reconnected through a networked system of wires and responsive devices, reactivated as a communicating sonic medium.
An electrical installation with flickering lights responds to bodies within a field of deconstructed furniture structured around a central chimney, operating as a proto–smart home system. From the chimney, steam and condensation gather on windows, automated curtains rhythmically darken the space, and environmental responses modulate presence, while memory and technology co-construct a shifting temporal field.
*Veillée refers to the French tradition of evening gatherings where listening and storytelling turn the home into a space of dreaming.
2024 was the best year ever for the tourist sector on the Costa del Sol. Here are the figures: 14,47 million visitors – an increase of 3,17% over 2023.

Conducted across several beaches on Spain’s Costa del Sol, the research examines how mass tourism reshapes movement along the coast. During the summer season, narrow corridors emerge between towels, umbrellas, and densely packed bodies, directing circulation and often obstructing access to the water. Through a series of walks, GPS traces record the detours and negotiations imposed by these overcrowded environments.
The recorded trajectories are translated into typographic characters, forming a font derived from fieldwork. Drawing on feminist geography and Rebecca Solnit’s writings on walking, the project approaches movement as a way of reading how tourist occupation is inscribed onto bodies, space, and the coastal landscape.
