DEQUINDRE WEST DESIGNING ENTANGLEMENTS TAUBMAN / WINTER 2020

activity and life to a street that is currently lifeless. As one moves into each side of the site, the program gradually gets more private with amenities tailored specifically for the residents.

Dequindre West is an incubator for small scale entrepreneurship. The close proximity to Eastern Market makes it a valuable place for the market’s laborers, with occupations ranging from butchers to cafe owners, and their families. The project’s proximity to the Dequindre Cut inspires a variety of public program that works to connect the Eastern Market to the Dequindre Cut. Understanding the diversity of residences’ living and working near the Eastern Market various housing units accommodate a number of key players that could be located at this residence. The diversity of users influences a program that taps into the 4 elements of a food-focused economy:cultivation, processing, distribution, and consumption.

Parks: Secondary axes within the site serve as semi-public connects between the site and the Dequindre Cut. These promenades were created through existing site conditions. Transit: A Rest and Repair Shop will hold the southeast corner of a site. This shop will store and repair bikes for the residence but also double as a public transit stop. Blight: The project reutilizes the existing structure and re-purposed it as a communal kitchen and a restaurant for the site.\

Retail: The project features the main road of Division Street that is dedicated to the major commercial components of the site. The cafes and grocery stores will bring

REDESIGNING THE URBAN OFFICE TAUBMAN / FALL 2020

Site: Saclay-Paris, is an upcoming research oriented suburb of Paris which is under construction with an intended completion date of 2050. It is currently composed of residential, office, university and other small developments with plans to expand all typologies.

A harsh boundary exists between the closed building and the open spaces. Public spaces in the urban environment have become leftover space, created as an afterthought at times, which results in devoiding people of the urban/public life. This isolation is extremely evident in office environments, where many people spend a majority of their daytime. With the everincreasing role of information technology, diffusing global networks and the increase in flexibility of labour, the role of the workplace has seemingly eroded. This digitalization has triggered architects to rethink the importance and benefits of the work space and thus to reinvent the office. In the current workplace conditions, a lack of fluidity into the public realm has been observed. The disintegration isolates them from their surroundings. By transitioning into the public forum, design can begin to integrate with the urban fabric, and rejuvenate public space.

Strategy: The essence of this proposal is a series of courtyards, portals and terraced landscape to create thresholds between the public and private entities. The streets are three dimensional as they continue to carve terraces and bridges, weaving the public program into the complex. Design: The project attempts to provide an amalgamation of diverse programs, an expanded mosaic of urban spaces with more landscape characteristics creating new urban spaces and scales for the individual and collective spaces, thus integrating campus into the neighborhood.

Massing Diagram / Placing the public program The concept of a 15 minute neighborhood provides easy access to basic necessities required everyday. Keeping this idea as a benchmark, the existing program, pedestrian and vehicular pathways were determined which led to an array of public programs and its potential placement.

Section through site

Section detail / Part plan

The architecture resonates the city’s urban context by juxtaposing the qualities of two building typologies – the introverted nature of the courtyard and the efficiency of the tower. All floors are connected to the courtyard, terraces and roof garden so that every workspace and public space has ample daylight and fresh air in order to create a healthy and creative working environment for the user.

D E I N S T I T U T I O N A L I Z E D CITY HALL - GRAND RAPIDS, MI TAUBMAN / WINTER 2019

The City hall is a crucial dialogue between the city’s residents and its government. Its a mutual ground where these parties can come together. By creating a communication link between the two parties, good governance and participatory design can be established. This requires a two way transparency; adequate political overview of the public’s desires and problems along with public’s awareness of the political process.

On the east side of the side of the site lie the bureaucratic buildings, whereas the west is full of civic buildings. The city hall acts becomes a connector between these two extremes. The form of the building is governed by this phenomenon, being pulled towards each side, trying to create a balance between the civic and the government. In the midst of this tension the Calder is framed, introducing visual connection between site boundaries.

This new design of the Grand Rapids City Hall allows public to access the building from both levels. By placing cafe, restaurant, art gallery, the building becomes more porous for the public, hence, allowing it to be transparent as the departments are placed right beside these public programs.

Another major component of the program is hierarchy. As the City Hall becomes a symbol for empowering public, the gallery and council chambers reside on the top most floor. Council chambers can also be accessed by the public, in gallery mode, ensuring transparency.

During the schematic phase we produced 3d visualization, conceptual drawings, and BOQs which were presented to the client. Upon approval, detailed drawings were produced for the mock-up to be constructed.

Along with the master plan, the residential units were designed. I headed the design team which produced the 3 iterations for the same plot size. The rear end of site faced the canyon. It also had a large amount of fill; these condition were

and artificial light, but has skylights punctured to ensure diffused natural light. The building uses brick to merge with the surrounding building, however, it plays with form as it tries to reach out and instill the passion for trying something new. The ‘3V’ columns are a signatiure of PKLI, as they are used all over the site. However, their use was only sculptural. In this building it is the first time that it has a strctural component. Using the phenomenon of a branching tree, the column attempts to take the weight of the four floors above.

The school comprises of labs, auditoriums, research facility and a large library for the staff and students. It aims to act as a support facility for the hospital. The school is connected with the main hospital building at Lower Ground level, throgh a hospital street. The cafeteria is placed on the same level, as it ensures constant activity on the floor. The right mass of the building formas the auditorium which is 18m high. The auditorium can be accessed by public and has a rooftop for further entertainment. To mantain the structual integrity, both the masses had seperate structures, and an expansion joint exists in between them.

I worked on the design development and tender stage of the Nursing School. Apart from the design and coordination, I was involved in preparing working drawings, and planning the interior of this university. Packages included, architecture, reflected ceiling, landcape and vertical circulation. Currently it hasn’t gone into construction stage as the focus is on the completion of the hospital.

The top floor is dedicated to research by allocating it completely to the library. The library is well lit, not only through windows

Hisaar, Water Research Institute, Karachi ARCOP / JUL 2019

Hisaar is a part iof the NED University of Engineeering and Technology. The institute aims to tackle issues relating to water: its quality, conservation and engineering. Sustainability is the core of this institute and that became one of the main golas for its architecture too. Principals that drove the design were: provide maximum shadingbut maintain natural light, avoid large exposed exterior surfaces or large open spaces where hot air collects, include green areas to help provide shade and cool air, plant and cultivate xerophytes that require little or no water, promote evaporation and heat

loss by radiation, integrate water bodies, which evaporate and therefore reduce temperature, introduction of strategic vegetation, trees, and landscaping for dust reduction and moderate the effects of strong undesired winds. The primary material was rammed earth which provides a high R value. I participaated in its conceptual phase, and was a part of the team that produced drawings and renders for the final presentation.

#Venice-call - Housing for Biennale, Venice, Italy COMPETITION (GROUP) / AUG 2019

The Venice Biennale is a dialogue between various cultures, in order to promote multiculturalism and diversity. This scheme intends to create alcoves for communication and cross connections for the traveling artists, visitors, and the residents of Venice. The building delves into the idea of porosity, creating free flowing spaces by layering them in way that they merge naturally into each other. This transparency is created by layering functions with open spaces that act as thresholds and create visual barriers between the private and public functions by converging them together. The design of the ground floor maximizes connection from all sides and opens the floor plan for circulation and public activity in the central

courtyard. The terraces and open space were dictated by the lines generated by the site and its context. The form of the intervention responds to the existing site conditions. The design intervention seeks to create an artistic haven and an urban oasis for the resident artist and the local public. For the resident artist and the local public. The proposal aims to create an interactive platform for the exchange of ideas. Art and design is a discipline which cannot be achieved in isolation, therefore the scheme aims to achieve open spaces on every level to allow open conversations and critique within the artists and the viewers.

#Redesigning The Graduate Student Experience, Ann Arbor, MI RVTR / JAN 2020

A studio model for the social sciences? An attempt to questioned the Apprenticeship/ Lab model. Often this model is hierarchical and structured, but is it the best environment for students to think individually and collaboratively or is there a better suited surrounding for them? Having set this framework the project decided to challenge the existing ideologies and decided to build a pedagogical and spatial prototype which aimed egalitarian & inclusive space that would fosters mutual learning and scientific innovation. A place where they can exchange ideas and collaborate on one end and work individually

on the other. Further, the research used data from surveys which asked students to complete sentences like ‘I wish I could have’ and ‘I would be happier if’. In this co-design process, students were provided with scaled plans and furniture models through which they communicated the layouts that best fulfilled their needs. To record the results of this experiment, location tracking was installed, and adjustments as needed were planned to add when required.

#Compilation, Karachi, Pakistan Contract Architect / NOV 2020 - OCT 2021

The following body of work represents a selection of the interior projects designed over the course of one year. These include: - Laliwala & Co, a coworking space shared by three companies, all owned by one individual. Each firm had an individual work space, and shared collaborative spaces, such as meeting rooms, huddle rooms and cafeteria. The use of natural wood against single walls filled with color provided a modern yet edgy look to the office space. The overall scheme for the three companies was similar, therefore color helped individualize them - Zaman Textiles, a cloth manufacturing firm foucused to achieve a simplistic,

modern design with a touch of luxury. The space design was hierachical in terms of public and private zone, however it broke those boundaries through material use. Glass walls provide visible comfort as it provides fluidity of vision. Further, dark wood gave richness to the office, whereas, corian, glass and steel added a chic yet luxurious touch to the space.

- Emad Ilahi Residence. A house that aimed to blend modern and classical theme. This fused ‘feel’ used classical design elememts like straight lines, center axes, mouldings on the wall combined with modern furniture. Building Types: Institutional & Residential

Laliwala & Co Interior design of an co-working space. Each office had its individual working space, however, the meeting and lounge spaces were shared. The yellow color in the image above defines the shared space.

Office of Finosys - part of Laliwala & Co. Finosys is a law firm that occupied the basement of this two storey office space. Each office had its own individual color in the design, defining its space.

Emad Illahi Residence The client’s personality embraces a modern lifestyle, however, they wanted the house to be fused with representation of a classical era. Therefore using straightlines and center axes. Further the use of natural material softens the harshness of the lines and keeps the modernism alive.

Lounge This area plays with patterns, textures and materials. The oriental rug and the teal velvet contrasts againsts the modern sofa. The table and media console are once again made of wood to bring natural texture into the living room.
