new categories taxonomy, multi-value per project. shown inline in each ls row as [tag] after the slug, muted like the other row metadata and inverting with it on hover/select. reuses the existing shared taxonomy template, so /categories/ and /categories/<tag>/ come for free as browsable archives in the same shell style already used for schools/degrees/semesters.\n\nassigned by medium: design for anything with plans/models, film for the two video projects, photo for the trieste study trip, text alongside design for translation (collage + accompanying theoretical text).
at the centre of this design is the constructive exploration of the timber joint — not as a static detail, but as a spatially effective system. starting from a basic joint that works without diagonal bracing, relying solely on horizontal and vertical beams, a spatial principle was developed that is both rational and atmospheric.
the particularity lies in its scalability: the identical joint is applied at different scales, from the fine grid of the facade structure to the load-bearing order of the two-storey building. the dojo is organised around an open inner courtyard.
the clear timber construction mediates between openness and concentration, between lightness and rigour — qualities derived from the martial arts. the design understands itself as an architectural reflection on structure, discipline, and spatial perception.
