Portfolio 2023

Hi!

I am Anam

I am an enthusiast and determined individual willing to take up challenges and set a new landmark in the creative and design field.

I am an architect dedicated to the aim and values of architecture, with developing professional standards. I throw myself out there with honesty and outrageous work and bring out an efficient output. I am encouraged by the landmarks architecture has set through several years and want to dedicate myself to making more of them. Being in a design-driven life for the last 6 years has made me a sensitive and patient individual. It has not only brought satisfaction to life but also has taught me how to be myself.

Wishing to contribute endlessly...

Energy Harvestor

Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA

Studio: Design Studio, 2022, M.Arch

ASCA Design Competition: 2023 COTE Competition

Instructor: Prof. Erik Hemingway

To the sitE... ...FROM THE SITE SELF SUSTAINING

Energy harvestor is an urban solution to the raising environmental and economical issues. The harvestor is a sustainable solution to energy generation. It harvests and produces energy more than the conventional system, and its working help reduce the cost of electricity for the general public. The harvestor can be installed in any open site like parking, that does not disrupt the existing function of the site and adds to the functionality of the space. The current harvestor is in the central part of Chicago. The site is identified as an open parking site, currently, only dedicated to parking. The site can serve a neighborhood to supply energy that consumes a major chunk of the city’s energy.

Ground level: PARKING

First deck: PUBLIC SPACE

Top Decks: VIEWING DECK

100% daylit spaces

95% views of floor space with views to city and harvestor

95% of area with 300 lux of lit spaces

Sites like parking area can be utilized by developing

ELEVATED PUBLIC OPEN SPACE with a functional information center!

OPEN ACCESS HUB: CHICAGO RE-IMAGINING OPEN SITES AND ENERGY GENERATION

The project aim to power the site and its neighborhood using atmospheric, physical and functional features of the site.The building will give users not just a comfortable and refreshing ambience as a part of open access hub, but also help gain knowlege and awareness regarding energy generation. The building will be a live renewable energy powered example for public. Installing energy harvestor at different part of the cities will make the parking sites lively and add to its functionality.

Did you know that the harvestor lights up every time the train passes!

It is the vibration energy that gets converted to electricity..

The steam generation for this 25000 cubic.m hot molten salt tank produces energy for entire neighborhood!

Thesis: Museum of Architecture

Location: New Delhi, India

Site: 3.5 Acres

Studio: Thesis, 2019-2020, B.Arch

The aim of the project is to bridge the gap between the profession and the society, to make sure that public is aware of how the knowledge of architecture can benefit the life of ordinary people in significant ways, to allow everyone,to imagine their future in a way that benefits the majority. Our much-celebrated cultural diversity does not help defining intrinsic qualities of architecture which distinguishes it from building construction and art, civil engineering, and beautification and physical environment. Museum of architecture will provide a matrix for an understanding of this discipline as a living tradition and not just a building for storage and display of objects and information about architecture.

Form

Site is located in south of Delhi, accessed by three side. Being located at a junction of MehrauliBadarpur road, 30m wide, running on East west axis and Crescent road, 25m wide, running north south axis. The site provides the users with several typologies of views ranging from heritage monument to an urban settlement. The site allows view of Qutub Minar to its North-west, tomb to its South and Lado Sarai Settlement in the north. The Site is Surrounded by dense vegetation with a pop put views of the monuments, which not just add to the experience and exploration of the site, but also gives importance to the context. Thesis : Museum

The concept is form focused and oriented towards exploration. The form is designed based on views to and from the site and climatic reasoning. The concept is to blend three types of architecture together in a site and showcase the layers of architecture in terms of planning, structure and flow.

Central Galleries

Central section of the site houses the Permanent Galleries,set up in an abstract and exploratory approach followed by Temporary exhibition hall in the east,which is a multipurpose building housing library,workshops and gathering areas.

The central gallery building designed to create exploratory experience

The upper floor experiences an open angle roof and open HVAC and fire system for building people’s knowledge.

The upper floors consists of 6 gallery spaces connected through bridges making it a one block gallery yet divided by walls.

The ground floor consists of 5 individual galleries seperated by pathways open to sky. It adds to exploration within the site due to the specific shapes and volume of the building blocks.

Archive

-5m from ground level

Kijani-Ju : Kenya Pavilion

Location: Amboseli National Park, Kenya, South Africa

Competition: Archasm-Kenya Pavilion 2018

Team of two

Role: Equally invovled in designing process.3D visualiation created individually

The concept of Kijani Ju meaning “The Green Tower” is to provide wide range view of nature and ecological inhabitants in and around the Amboseli National Park. The green tower has been divided into two main decks in two opposite directions. Series of central circular decks enabling 360 degree view. The railings tend to have creepers all along the boundary and the green patches used in the sloped structural elements, that would blend the structure with nature.

Project Architect: Ar.Rajesh Dongre, Ar. Praveen Chandran

Role: Invovled in producing 2d drawings from conceptual to detailed design phase. Worked on development of 3d individully throughout the project.

The “Mango Tree House” project strives to be relevant in its context by acknowledging and responding to the typology and stylistic character of the original post-independence era Architecture. However, at the same time the project is very modern and minimalistic in its details and material palette.
