OSADO

What if architecture was bold, absurd—and completely useless? Inspired by the dual meaning of osado (bold/reckless), this project imagines a structure that looks like a machine but has no clear purpose. It tilts, spins, suggests movement—but goes nowhere. The design began with a Kandinsky painting, which I translated through AI into abstract forms, then built as a physical model. Guided by Graham Harman’s object-oriented philosophy and the humor of Jacques Tati, I focused on creating presence without function—an aesthetic machine that invites curiosity but keeps its secrets. Hand-painted and carefully assembled, this object performs by simply existing.
