SYMBIOSIS : Revitalizing Houma tribal identity through community cultural spaces
HOUMA, LOUISIANA
The tribe has been living in the region for over 10,000 years and has a deep connection to the land, which is now being threatened by rising sea levels and erosion. This tribe has always relied on fishing and hunting for sustenance, but the changing environment is making it increasingly difficult to maintain their traditional way of life. This is leading to a loss of cultural identity and a sense of dislocation among the tribe members, who are struggling to adapt to the changing world around them. The situation highlights the urgent need for action to address the climate crisis and its impact on indigenous communities. Such a center could help preserve and celebrate the tribe’s cultural heritage, which is an essential aspect of their identity. Cultural centers can provide a physical space for the community to come together, share their stories, and pass down traditional knowledge to future generations,serving as a hub for community events, including traditional dances, and storytelling sessions. It can provide educational resources for tribal members and visitors, including exhibits, workshops, and classes on traditional crafts, language, and history.In addition to celebrating and preserving the Houma Tribe’s cultural heritage, a triball center can also help promote cultural tourism, bringing economic benefits to the tribe and the surrounding area helping in raising awareness about the tribe’s history, traditions, and current challenges, helping to build support for the community.
Thesis Proposition:
How can architecture respond to promote community identity, cultural preservation, and social well-being that fosters a sense of pride and ownership among the Houma tribal community?

PROGRAM ACTIVITIES:
After careful consideration and understanding of what the tribe wants in order to achieve its goals, a new set of programs was curated, keeping their requirements and type of activities in mind. The proposed program provides them with a balance of formal and informal community spaces for community engagement and socialization. The tribe can also engage in fishing activities, an important aspect of the tribal identity, which was slowly depleting due tounavailability of resources.
SITE INFORMATION:
The site is location near the city center of Houma city in Lousiana. It is bounded by Lake Houma, named after the tribe. The site is covered with wetlands, spread over majority of the plot.

FACADE DETAIL - WEAVE
After studying the weave pattern of the palmetto baskets for whihc the tribe is known for, the facade imitates a similar pattern. This makes the complex resonate with the culture. In addition to the cultural signiface, the woven facade also controls the amount of sunlight entering the building and projects an interesting play of light and shadown in the interiors spaces.
Platform for community engagment and collaboartion, responsive to the needs and aspirations of the tribal community
To serve a model for other tribal communities facing similar challenges, and that contributes to larger field of architecture and community developement
POLLINATOR GARDEN
The movement of pollen is necessary for the production of fruits, seeds, and many of the foods that we eat. Bees, butterflies, beetles, moths, bats and some birds are all pollinators. The flowering plants that comprise bee lawns are resilient enough to be used in recreational multi-use field spaces, are aesthetically similar to existing turf (if not more attractive), and have the added benefit of providing habitat and food sources for these valuable species
• Remove air pollutants

GRADUATE PROJECT- SPRING 2022
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
This comprehensive studio was very detail-oriented, giving a deep understanding of the construction process and joinery details providing an insight into real-life practice. The project is situated at the intersection of High street and Main street in Oxford, OH, a pretty busy area due to its proximity to the university campus. The building is mixed-use in its function and comprises a restaurant and office spaces, and a basement for the neccessary mechanical systems.
The studio’s purpose was to impart a better understanding of the details and considerations that go into designing a building, shifting the focus from aesthetics. This project dealth with micro details of the superstructure and sub-structure like foundation details, sub-grade level details and structural systems and associated Hvac details.The solar studies assisted in undertanding the heat gain in the building and deciding the fenestration for the facade.
The project also looked into the usage of locally available materials, in this case, brick and wood, and how each of these materials can be used meticulously in the design without compromising the city’s character.

It was a group project and my scope of work ranged from conceptualizing to final execution along with my team of 6 participants.
