Try Design Housing Unit Each face/wall of a cube consists of 2 panels, each 4ftX8ft. A panel is designed as a wall, half-wall, door or window panel. The panels consist of two outer skins sandwiching a rigid Polyurethane Foam (PUF). The panels are strong enough to be used without structural members for supports.

The design of the office building is greatly influenced by the size of the plot. Due to the modest size, the highest priority was to utilize the maximum possible area, for each floor, permitted by the building by-laws.

Reforming community Thesis, Prison design

Design Principles for Rehabilitation

The research dealt with design and it’s influence on human nature. It culminated in a set of principles on how to design a prison. A prison is an architectural typology in need of a redesign conducive to rehabilitation. The principles must instil a balance between secured imprisonment and an environment that encourages social and cultural rehabilitation. The resulting design creates comfortable internal spaces and secure, uncompromising external spaces. Inside each prison block The internal environment should be emulate a ‘safe’ life in society and be socially relevant.

Housing, commerce and open spaces, are consolidated and separated from each other. The open greens act as a buffer. Primary Market Street The shops are designed to allow for variation in shop sizes. Shops owners can buy multiple spaces and expand their business. Green Line The green line is an unhindered pedestrian walkway along the primary commercial street. The double axis connects to all the open greens and slopes underground, when connecting across roads.

Wall graphics While volunteering at Jeevarathni, a home for destitute children, I designed and painted a wall graphic for the children. It incorporates the silhouettes of all 32 kids. To ensure the children felt equal and no one was in the background, all outlines were made visible. Each area, created by the intersection of silhouettes, was painted a different colour from its neighbouring shapes . Seen from a far, the painting looks abstract and colourful but on closer observation, each child could be identified.

Morpholo Tiles Designed for: Playgroup Studio Co-workers Dimensions(in cm): l-8, w-8, t-0.7 Time: 4 Days, Oct 2014 Materials: Medium-Density Fibreboard, Paint The design is based on the ‘morpholo’ concept. A square image contains a silhouette in black and white. Every half edge of a square is either black or white. When placed next to each other, black and white edges of different images line-up, respectively, to produce a larger abstract image.

Top Panel When switched on, the cut outs throw a light pattern on the ceiling.

The lamp is currently ‘Star Wars’ themed and has interchangeable panels. It is made from laser cut MDF sheets and waste sheets from a metal model set. It is playful, easy to assemble and dismantle. The design of the panels allows for continuous modification and variation.

iNTERESTS Origami

Travel

Origami is an art-form, also used to understand compliant mechanism and design compressive objects. Robert Lang, a pioneer in the cross-disciplinary field of origami and mathematics, inspired me to understand and explore origami logically and mathematically. I have also created a few art installation using origami. All models here, except the modular polyhedra, are made from a single sheet of paper.
