Arakoon Community Bridge is a proposal for an architectural intervention where human response to a delicate ecological context defines form. A bridge is created atop repurposed pilings, its form and continuity defines the visual and spatial impact of the place.

Enclosed space provides refuge from cool winter winds and hot summer sun, while encouraging year-round community activities. The bridge provides access to the local beach as well as amenities for a fish and chips cafe. A floating boardwalk harnesses daily tides forming a communal swimming area.

FĂŚllesskab Plads is a proposal for an architectural intervention where human responses to a intricate context defines form. A series of penetrable fluid canopies are created, their form and continuity defines the visual and spatial impact of the place.

Enclosed space provides refuge and encourages wintertime actives, while also serving as a market hall year round. The market hall offers not only a variety of local and international provisions, but serves as a communal gathering place for this ethnically diverse district in Copenhagen.

The canopies are light in color and evoke a cloud-like appearance. Drawing from the surrounding context the grid of the neighboring buildings is introduced to the plaza in the form of stone, creating contrast with the fluid canopy forms. The grid informs the structural column layout and is reflected on a chrome ceiling surface, which reflects not only the plaza but the surrounding context both old and new, static and dynamic.

Canopies are articulated in section creating a similar experience between ground plane and canopy as between canopy and adjacent context. Guiding users through the space.

WALLINGFORD HOUSING | SEATTLE, WASHINGTON | GRADUATE STUDIO There are roughly 170,000 square feet of underutilized and undeveloped property in the Wallingford neighborhood. This land is owned by local public and private schools, churches, and businesses and is currently only used for parking purposes. Placing parking below grade allows development of the land above, transforming bland space into leviable community space. This project proposes to do so along the vibrant and charismatic 45th Avenue North—the heart of the Wallingford Urban Village. It focuses density one block from 45th Avenue altering current zoning by preserving daylight and character of 45th Avenue. Concentrating density on the site supports a new neighborhood square hosting a variety of events including a year-round daily market, welcoming local farm goods, crafts people, and community. In addition, an indoor-outdoor cafÊ and restaurant welcomes both visitors and residents to the square. A residential tower provides studio and one-bedroom apartments on a compact footprint, while two and three bedroom ground-related town homes border the perimeter of the site to foster pedestrian life both within and outside of

FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE | PROF. VIKRAM PRAKASH | GRADUATE STUDIO
The sailor comes to rest. At sea he explore with ease, with liberty and purpose. The confines of life on land are a far cry from the life at sea. Dark, cold, alone. Apprehension grows heavy as he longs for life out to sea— his depression worsens. Fashion as a guard — a cloak of his innermost struggles with life from sea. Through emotional struggle and feelings of confinement his unsettled eerie relationship with the land is articulated.

Architecture as emotion, unsettling, and free of order—in response to fashion and derived from the emotional complexities related to site an inhabitable space is born.

Intrigued by process— I sought out to find new methods of discovery inspired by fashion to influence the architectural process.

Industrial robots are most commonly known for their use in automation, where the intent is primarily geared towards efficiency and standardization, which neglects the potential for an added value in design. This thesis explored how the symbiotic relationship between the industrial robot arm, human, and material can provide a unique opportunity for design exploration.
