RECIPROCAL PAGODA - AAVS OSAKA WORKSHOP
Traditions change, societies evolve. The knowledge builds up on the experience gained through the iterative trial-and-error process. The Japanese Carpentry came to perfection after this process has been going on for thousands of years, shaped by the climatic conditions, the seismic activity, the culture and the available materials throughout the Japanese islands. The Reciprocal Pagoda is a symbol of this knowledge, showing a structure that builds up on itself. It reveals the craftmanship of the carpenters through the complexity of its joints. But it also exposes the fragility of a tradition that can be easily lost, if it is not transmitted to the new generations, if it doesn’t adapt to the changes in society.

GROUP 4_KUMIGODA
We began by seperating into smaller groups and investigating potential design options. After a charrette, the team with the guidance of the tutors decided to go with the most feasible option considering the time it takes to fabricate/ assemble the desired pavillion. The AAVS Osaka was organised by the Architectural Association School of Architecture London in association with Takenaka Corporation and Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum, Directed by Lorenzo Franceschini and coordinated by Masaaki Matsuoka. The tutors that took part were: Akinori Abo, Jorge Beneitez, Takeshi Hayatsu, Ana Ilic, Kiwamu Yanagisawa, Mohammed Makki, So Sugita, Kyuma Tetsujiro, Camiel Weijenberg. The participants of the VS were: Bader AlShawaf, Frederick Gorsten Schunemann, Siyu Shen, Qian Sha, Xiaolu Yang, Natalie Lee, Taku Saito, Davide Tanadini, Lu Guo, Menghe Guo, Sujal Kodamadanchirayil Suresh, Ricardo Valbuen, You Wei Yen, Yu Cheng Chi, Mykola Tsyharin, Thomas Essex-Plath, Chien Wu, Bernardo Cossio, Moe Kitagaki, Svenja Feles, Viorela Bogatu, Manuel SuĂĄrez, Taiki Kiguchi, Shota Enda, Rei Yamamoto, Yasemin Sahiner, Reo Oshiyama, Hiroya Inage. Trotec Japan kindly provided the machinery.

We ran the chosen initial model through an evolutionary engine called WALLACEI, which allowed us to select certain objectives that the chosen structure had to follow, and then simulated all the possible outcomes. We then chose the best option that fits the criterion, but due to time constraints, we had to modify the structure a bit.

TAMDEEN SQUARE RESIDENTIAL TOWERS - AGi architects
The proposal for these three towers tries to endow this residential complex with a sense of unity so that they can be recognized as an ensemble, while keeping their individual character, following clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements These requirements also included a rate of three parking slots per apartment. and other common facilities such as swimming pool, gym, multipurpose areas, etc, which meant a huge built volume to add to the dwelling areas.
My contribution to the project has been through the design implementation along with my team members. Many challenges arise during the construction phase of any project, and despite ensuring proper coordination of the shop drawings prior to sitework, we faced challenges of coordination between what is constructed and what needs to be done. All these challenges required us to develop quick problem solving skills, ensuring that the best possible solution may come out for the sake of the project.

5. Terminate the plaster 1cm away from the plate in all directions. (Shown in magenta)
I was involved in a lot of inspections that took place at site accross the different disciplines required to operate a site, and to ensure that all the work is upto a certain standard, proper coordination between the team members as well as the other involved parties had to be established.

MIVIDA RETAIL DISTRICT - BDP MENA
Mivida retail district is part of the Emaar Mivida masterplan and is located 8km east of downtown Cairo on the eastern edge of New Cairo. The development comprises retail, food and beverage outlets, a food court and a multiplex and entertainment zone. The event plaza offers a multi-use outdoor space and the boulevard creates an active frontage along the development bordering the residential and commercial districts. The streets evoke a sense of volume, light and space with clear sightlines and visual connection between the two levels.

My contribution to this project was through multiple design phases, in which I assisted in preparing architectural bidding documents. Throughout the schematic design, many different iterations of ideas were sketched and then later modeled. As the design became more clarified, and after client discussions, entering the design development phase required us to take full advantage of the collaborative Autodesk Revit file we have established thusfar. Through this project, I was able to understand the essentials of working on professional Revit file, that allowed for a high level of detail and input into the model. Schedules were setup based on the original designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program and definitions were set, so that any modifications done to the plans would be accomodated with its appropriate labeling scheme, with its own set of values that are automatically feeding into different schedules.

OFFICE HEADQUARTERS IN DUBAI - BDP MENA
WASL Headquarters/ Al Mina, Dubai
The Interlock Option explores a more volumetric expression of the massing, where the form is one of this option’s strong suits. There are two main interlocking volumes. The interlocking volumes tie back to the Office’s values of connection. Volumes that project outwards are indicitive of the interior spaces they accommodate. Because of the clear volumetric forms, a new opportunity arises to create a dialogue between the volumes to the surrounding formal landscape. WASL Headquarters/ Al Mina, Dubai

The selected design takes inspiration from multiple aspects that were prominent in the lives of the Bedouin people. We found the shapes of sand dunes as well as the formation of the Bedouin tents to be similar, and thus potentially inspired the tent design. In addition, the natural cooling techniques used by the Bedouin people in which water is sprayed on the outer surface of the tent to allow for the fabric to tighten and become wind resistant. It also provides a water resistant surface to prevent rain from entering the tent.

The different densities of the columns were defined by the natural formation of the sand dunes that are constantly affected by the environmental changes. We felt like there was a great opportunity to take inspiration from the local heritage and contextual landscape to provide a good reasoning behind the design and decision of these columns.

My contribution to this project has been through the implementation of parametric design tools to generate as many potential facade outcomes within a short period of time. Using grasshopper definitions, I was allowed to explore other potential design options that were not related to a concept that was chosen later on. As the concept was decided, further development within a visual language that supported the concept were developed. This project has allowed me to appreciate the amount of work that could be done in a short amount of time, and the value of learning by doing.

DIGNIFIED REVIVAL - DRURY UNIVERSITY
Marginalized populations exist in dense urban areas all over the world. Seeking economic opportunities, they immigrate to areas of such capacity, but for social, political and cultural reasons they become disenfranchised. These emigrating communities find like-minded people and end up forming diverse communities. As a result, they produce an alternative society with its own cultural and economic systems. This thesis aims to study social space through the principal research question â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can Architecture dignify and reinforce community for marginalized populations?â&#x20AC;? in harsh ng

To reinforce and dignify community for marginalized populations, architecture must be sensitive to their cultural, religious and economic backgrounds. It should seek to unite and empower the commonalities of these populations through a shared social space that will address their basic needs as well as provide a platform outside of work for communication. An essential step to reinforcing the communities of Dharavi is through reviving the river system at the intersection of the slum. In doing so, the sacred characteristics of water will regain their significance, and the people of Dharavi will have a clean resource to support them.

The understructure of the plaza hosts a large water tank that receives the water coming in from the pipes and culminates it. During rain, the collectors would funnel the rain water more strategically, as well as filter the rain water, this is due to the airborne pollutants that may carry diseases.
