ONRAMP 8 SCI-ARC

ONRAMP 8 captures the culminating thesis work and final projects of SCI-Arc's Undergraduate, Graduate, and Postgraduate programs for the 2024–25 academic year. Edited by Marcelyn Gow under the editorial leadership of Director and CEO Winka Dubbeldam, the publication presents a wide-ranging body of work that confronts climate resilience, artificial intelligence, advanced fabrication, and new material systems. Developed within SCI-Arc's experimental studio culture, these projects reflect the institution's commitment to critical inquiry, technological advancement, and speculative design. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully organized, ONRAMP 8 serves as both an academic archive and a forward-looking survey of emerging architectural thought.

Claying Architecture

Claying Architecture: Making Machine and Material Kin presents a curated collection of essays, interviews, and projects from leading architects, designers, and researchers who are analyzing the role of clay 3D printing in contemporary architecture. The book blends research, theory, and practice to highlight how this ancient material is being reimagined through 3D printing, robotic fabrication, and innovative construction techniques. Through original essays and project showcases, Claying Architecture brings together 30 plus voices from contemporary architectural academia and practice to interrogate why clay is a protagonist in contemporary architecture as an agent capable of binding new kinships between processes, environments, and culture. In this sense, our 'kinship' with the machines of digital fabrication mirrors our 'kinship' with one another and opens up ways t o reflect on how 3D printing clay is a method to reconsider how we code, construct, and conceive architecture.

Design Competition for the Prishtina City Cemetery

The Municipality of Pristina / Capital City has initiated a comprehensive and inclusive
planning process for the development of the Capital City Cemetery of Pristina,
conceived as a contemporary civic, memorial, landscape, and digital public
infrastructure of long-term importance.
The project aims to establish a new model for cemetery planning and funeral
infrastructure in Kosovo, based on:
• dignity,
• equality,
• coexistence,
• institutional professionalism,
• sustainability,
• digital governance,
• and respect for religious and cultural diversity.
The process has been developed through continuous dialogue and consultation with
representatives of religious communities, institutional stakeholders, technical experts,
and international partners.
The future cemetery complex is envisioned not merely as a burial ground, but as a
carefully designed landscape of memory, reflection, peace, coexistence, civic identity,
and long-term collective responsibility.
