Site Locaaon Liverpool is known for its link to the creative industries of music, drama and theatre. The Business Quarter, not only is it changing the face of Liverpool’s skyline but also the face of Liverpool’s leading industries in the digital technology sector The offices of some of the country’s most admired establishments are based here, The area mostly attracts young professionals who are looking for an apartment close by to where they work, avoiding Liverpool’s growing rush hour traffic. This allows for an opportunity to solve that problem.

Wind Research Centre Merging nature and technology within architectural design


My Project is an educaaonal research centre, focusing on the concept of wind. It is designed and orientated around the venturi eect which is a sciennďŹ c technic which increases the pressure and speed based on wind. There are wind turbines along the two inner sides of the building which catches the wind to generate electricity for the wind tunnel tessng centre. The building is designed for educators, students and researches


The Venturi Effect Venturi Effect in Architecture

Air Follows the path of the least resistance. Wind speeds increase as cross secconal area decreases. My building is designed around the venturi effect so the wind speed and pressure increases as it gets closer to the bridge(highest speed) while hiing the wind turbines on the way



Electric Car Charging Staaon The lack of infrastructure is among the greatest barriers to Electric Vehicle adoppon. The challenge of designing a building that can change what people think of the future of cars.

Arch Whirl Urban Design Project

Arch Whirl is a unique concept for the people of the fabric distric of liverpool, UK. It works as the grean heart of the site. The community can spend invaluable me around the space, enjoying with their families and friends in these urban venues. Its shape intends to create an opened shelter and to maximize the power of the context. The point is that it is possible to provide a truly public space of a civic sort within a complex seccon. Its geometry is unique compared to the surroundings
