• Graduated with an historical thesis entitled "Site Specific - The Voids of Power and the Power of Voids in Berlin". The project takes as its pretext the debate, then in progress, about the reconstruction of the Castle in Marx-Engels Platz (Museum Island, Berlin) developing into an analytical study on the identity of contemporary Germany.

• The design project that derives from the analysis is the choice of making an architectural intervention in the physical and ideal demarcation line between the ruins of the “Schloss-Castle” and the empty shell of the “Palast Der Republik” (former East German Parliament), as a hypothesis of objectification and neutralisation of historical memory to promote the new.

• The proposed architectural object consists in the design of a museum and exhibition space, made with intersecting ramps, that take the observer through a path where he has to look at the past, now rendered into an “Object of Art”, from many different angles and points of view.

• The proposed building brought forward the study and development of a laminated wood structure for that purpose.
