ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

Study Model

Architecture has its own realm. It has a special physical relationship with life. I do not think of it primarily as either a message or a symbol, but as an envelope and background for life which goes on in and around it, a sensitive container for the rhythm of footsteps on the floor, for the concentration of work, for the silence of sleep. Book - Thinking Architecture | Peter Zumthor

VILLA IN ABU DHABI Work Experience | Dubai | 2021 LAMI Architects

Stages Involved: Concept Design, Design Development

The project brief was to create a minimal design with high-quality finishes and sublime integration of architecture and landscape. The villa includes spacious hosting spaces like the living and dining with a view of the landscape, while the private family spaces are at the upper level. My role included the design updates from client meetings and the preparation of design drawings.

While Travertine is used to create the heavy solids in the massing, the curved wooden louvers add a soft organic touch to the design. Olive trees were placed at selected corners of the villa, as requested by the client. Voids created by the glass walls and courtyards bring in natural light. TOP OF BOUNDARY WALL

Stages Involved: Design Development, Structural Co-ordination, Building Permit Submission, Tender Drawings Preparation.

The design started with creating spaces generated by various inclined walls, giving moments of ambiguity. While going with simple flooring finishes, the villa design prioritizes wall claddings and facade screens. I worked on design updates and creating the final drawing package.

The design was aimed to create a highly detailed model interpretation of the interior of Flourish and Blotts (from Harry Potter books) using rapid prototyping (laser-cutting), digital fabrication techniques hand modeling and lights. Utilizing spatial analysis of film sets and miniature set design, the final design features vaulted ceilings with intricate pattern to play light and shadow in space. The 50x50x50cm physical model was made using 0.6mm and 1mm mountboards.

PLURALISTIC SUBURBIA Masters | Studio E | 2018 University of Melbourne

Housing Densification Strategy

By borrowing the backyard spaces of the existing houses and placing an elevated unit with minimal footprint, creates a meaningful solution for the housing shortage issues of the Dandenong suburb.

Existing Plot

Densify

Elevate

Unit Design Strategy

Incorporating the elements of a suburban dream house, the main functions are stacked vertically. The unit has a mid-level semi-open space for social interactions and a rooftop garden.

Divide

Stack

Customize

The idea is to retrofit new dwelling units with the existing housing fabric to reformulate suburban housing in Dandenong suburb. The new units are strategically positioned in the backyard spaces of the existing separate houses. Each house is defined by its unique foliage and contextual orientation. The old and new knit together to create a more social and activated neighborhood.

Unit Design: The vertical circulation as the main core, supports the cantilevered house. Additional support is provided by the tension strings with mesh screens, which eventually will be covered by vegetation. Thus, integrating the new unit with the landscape and reducing the dominant appearance of the elevated structure.

Standing 345 meter tall, the building is located at the junction of Exhibition Street and La Trobe Street in Melbourne. The aim of the project is to design a complex high-rise building incorporating economic feasibility, environmental design, materiality, current industry practice and assembly of different construction systems.

The high-rise building design is divided into three parts - The Podium, the tower and the crown.

INTO THE GUTS OF BRISBANE Masters | Thesis | 2019 University of Melbourne

Brisbane river, the most significant feature of the city, was once free-spirited and in harmony with the indigenous people for over 60,000 years. The European invasion in 19th century revamped the swampy land at the river bend for settlement. Brisbane city was built over this settlement area. The river was invaded, manipulated, celebrated, blamed while the city developed on its bank. Amidst the chaos of the growing city, the river fights its own battle (floods, sinking buildings) not to be the enemy, but for its voice to be heard. Brisbane has been undergoing urban densification horizontally which has led to an over-development of city’s air space. To cope, the city started to use the untapped underground. This further developed to create a ‘Hidden World of Infrastructure’ beneath the city. The Thesis aims to connect the two distinct worlds of Brisbane through a civic building.

The Connection

(Conceptual Render: Sketchup & V-ray)

Conceptual Sketch

Initial sketch of the courthouse with courtrooms carved out of the site, creating visual connection to the public above the ground. The idea was to make courthouse less intimidating and more accessible to common people.

Experiment

Study model made with casting to understand the textures and ambiguity in design during the sculpturing process.

BITS AND BOTS FOR TINY TOTS Masters | Studio D | 2018 University of Melbourne

This library is about the journey, not the destination. The architecture is designed to create a space which facilitates movement into certain spaces, yet within these spaces, the journey is ambiguous and left up the users; the children. The kids’ library focuses on four steps; the entrance, donating or returning, following and finding.

Site Analysis Matrix

This matrix is the inference of selected features of site study, analyzed in 5 categories - Lines, Surface, Volume, Terrain and Form

A major influence on the key ideas of the building was the robotic drawing process, which we undertook prior to design. Through careful instructions, we could output a drawing we anticipated completely. As novice programmers, a lot of the time, the output lines seemed random. To emulate this, we have designed tubes and a conveyor system, in which the children will place their returned or donated items inside. These will then begin their journey through a complex system which is very difficult to follow at a human scale, similar to the ambiguity we felt when programming the robots.

6-Axis robotic arm

The robotic arm used to generate sketch drawings. The codes for RobotStudio software was derived from the site analysis matrix.

Spaces

Robotic Drawings

Illustrations of imaginative spaces created using the robotic drawings from the site analysis.

First Floor Plan

The plan shows the tubes running through different zones of the library, carrying the toys for the kids.
