Architecture is an ever-changing field, constantly progressing through innovation and new technologies. Contemporary design practices need new skill sets and knowledge to implement complex design ideas. I am interested in an industry-focused and evidence-based learning approach toward architectural practice as it creates a bridge between the concept and implementation. I would like to explore innovative computational design and digital fabrication systems, both individually and collaboratively, to deal with a huge amount of data and information related to the built environment, which is often difficult to comprehend.

KOOYONGKOOT: deep time reckonings
M.ARCH THESIS STUDIO Swinburne University of Technology Led by Dr Ammon Beyerle The Thesis is nominated to participate in the Victorian Graduate prize 2022.
Over the past several thousand years Kooyongkoot has gone through radical transformation in terms of resource distribution within its built environment that impacted on its ecological equilibrium. The hunter and gather community of first nation maintained their land management techniques to observation and understanding of the environment, of the plants, fish, birds, insects, animals and seasons and of the varied sources of water. Industrial revolution accelerated the process of urbanization and the industrial economy dominated over the ecological priorities with lots of radical actions. Which let to unsustainable and harmful consequences such as extinction of several plants and animal species, regular flooding, high acoustic levels, raise in temperature, segregation in social and ecological connection. In present time it is our responsibility to rethinking and deep time reckoning for establishing an ecological networking for a sustainable future.

Led by Dr. Gergana Rusenova
The project study outcome _ THyperlocal wattle-and-daub made of waste, is going to be published in the article “Unearthing Sustainable Material Futures” by June 2023.
The studio invites to understand timber and reinvent the way architects design [and build!]with it by working at a rather small scale. Individually and collaboratively, we will design and partly build ... a treehouse! The treehouse is a synonym for adventure, romance and freedom. It is Wa place for adults and children to experiment with their creativity and building skills... and to play!
I created a series of digital prototypes using a scan of a fork-shaped branch, then hypothesised that, similar to the traditional wattle-and-daub technique, a mud or mycelium-based mixture could be applied to provide a natural, non-toxic bond between the branches. I developed a digital representation of the concept by simulating branch growth using the Rhinoceros CAD environment and the Grasshopper visual programming language.

The location is Hawthorn East, Melbourne, Australia. The Yarra River flows near the tree where the treehouse will be built. The terrain character provides a benefit to the site by allowing it to play at different levels.

Group project Design Research Studio A Semester 2, 2020 Master in Architecture Swinburne University of Technology Led by Dr. Gergana Rusenova
The project study outcome _ The Hyperlocality of wattle and daub:, is going to be published in the article “Unearthing Sustainable Material Futures” by June 2023.
This studio focus was to investigate the architectural potential of earth for the construction of contemporary housing units for three different scenarios depending on the location and inhabitants with the opportunity to explore contemporary design techniques.
I collaborated on a group project to propose a novel approach that departs from the traditional flat, non-structural wattle-and-daub panel by weaving a volumetric enclosure with thin bamboo wands using a scaled proof-of-concept model inspired by the weaving techniques and patterns of barramundi traps used by the Burarra people in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia (Fish Trap: Catching Barramundi, n.d.). This double-layered self-supporting wall had greater thermal mass, allowing building elements to be used in a variety of climate conditions depending on the building’s overall orientation, roof and floor systems, and other factors.

Taking into account the summer and winter solstice, we tried to evolve the form to see how various forms respond to the wind flow and also define the spaces at plan level within the shadow area. The diagrams show that an internal transitional space would be more effective for cross-ventilation. We can see in a 3-dimensional view, beginning from the shape of a rectangle to a form that is well ventilated throughout. We found man-made architectural interventions such as thermal mass to be put on north and west façades and then to provide wider openings to be ventilated north and west through east and south. Natural intervention such as water bodies, trees, are considered to be positioned in transitional space to minimise temperature and to create a stack ventilation system through openings on the roof. We wanted to introduce a micro-climatic immersive courtyard.

PHYSICAL PROTOTYPE
UNDERSTANDING OF WEAVING BEAHAVIOUR WITH NATURAL MATERIAL
We created a 1:20 scale physical model made of bamboo that is filled with mud, with a double caged weaving structure. First of all, by anchoring it to the foundation, one layer weave pattern is created according to the shape and you can see here that the panel did not stand on itself, so we added another layer of weave pattern offset to the first one, and then both layers are cross-directionally weaved together. The outcome was optimistic that it could stand on its own. It was difficult for the next stage to render open ings in such a structure. We weaved another cross-di rectional layer along the outline of the opening by following the existing weave. Finally, we poured mud in a thickness that could cover all layers, and it was incredible to see how 600grms of structure can hold 8 kg of wet.

The major objective of the project was to design a luxury apartment building in a simple and solid form. The building was gracefully crowned with a rooftop garden beautifully adorned with plants and flowers. Duplex apartment unit was provided for the owner’s accommodation with office facilities and terrace garden. Split core structur al system was followed to facilitate separate accessibility in case of emergen-cy. The fire escape stair included in one of the cores was treated as an aesthetic design element on the front facade. Energy efficiency in terms of natural lighting cross ventilation, heat and sound were priori-tised in design and construction.

A roof garden vibrant with flora and fauna was gracefully situated at the top of the building, perceived as a natural retreat from the bustling urban life. The garden is covered with a concrete shell, slit in a regular stripe pattern to allow adequate sunlight and rainwater. Vines twining along the concrete shell add subtle softness to the hard surface. An artificial stream falls from the wall forming a water cascade around the seating space creating a soothing environment. Slit openings on the east and west side act as vertical lou-vers for sunlight offering a grandiose view of the cityscape.
A flourishing roof garden doesn’t merely enhance the overall aesthetic, green roofs also improve a build-ing’s environmen tal performance, thermal insulation and climate responsiveness.
The fast-paced commercial growth of Dhaka city demands new business strategies to cope with changing consumer practices. The project initiates a shared facility between a car showroom owned by OVI Trading and Peyala restaurant with an aim to support each other’s business through addressing a larger consumer group. Primary consumers visiting the Car Showroom can inadvertently become interested to spend some time in the adjacent restaurant and vise-versa. Fostering this idea, MGH Group developed the commercial facility for OVI trading & Peyala restaurant as a lease for 5 years in a prime commercial location in Dhaka.

Featured in a reknowned local newspaper the Daily star explicitly describes the space: “Peyala Café has three outlets at the moment throughout Dhaka city, with a flagship café at Gulshan Avenue, overseeing Banani Lake and opposite to Gulshan Club. The first thing you will notice is its modern design, with the glass walls allowing plenty of natural light to enter the establishment creating a soothing sense of freedom that is rather uncommon in most restaurants. “There is a sitting area up the stairs, which will surely remind you of a crow’s nest — Ship’s lookout point — and you can enjoy your snacks up there in privacy. And the subtle decorations of the ongoing festival hold a promise to cheer you up.”
