Survey of building styles, building types, and architectural features provide an assessment of existing neighborhood patterns and creation of the formbased code. The survey would assist architects and decision-making bodies to create a contextual-based neighborhood. Proposed enhancement for pedestrian walkwaysWarner and mid-block crossing. Proposed and Barnett Streets
Community engagement with residents by conducting a visual survey during a five-day charrette assisted in generating the Regulating Plan and the design of the master plan.
Improved pedestrian walkways and mid-block crossing Munaim, Arfakhashad - Portfolio of Work Samples

The BISHAMON project achieves ethnographic and data-driven research with photographs, film documentary, radiation data, and interviews with disaster victims in a multi-disciplinary study with faculty at Niigata University.
Study of Namie City ‘Urban Zone’ by conducting a transect route—from coastal, agricultural, urban and mountainous regions—to document site characteristics, level of impact, and the presence of radiation. More than 7,000 photographs illustrate perilous scenes and stitched together using Ed Ruscha’s montage technique.

Transect zones highlight the various stakeholders that were interviewed, including government officials, farmers and residents, TEPCO, and interest groups. It also highlights the presence of radiation surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nucler Power Plant (FDNPP).
Integrating media files (photographs, soundwaves and radiation pionts) with GPS receiver, laptop and GPSenabled camera to visualize data along the transect route using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Munaim, Arfakhashad - Portfolio of Work Samples
