Centrally located within Mumbai sits the slum of Dharavi. Within this slum clean water is hard to come by due to it not being connected to the city’s water supply. This forces residents to get water from less than desirable sources or illegally tapping into the city’s water supply which leads to outbreaks of water born illnesses. For this reason, we focused on a program to fit the need of both treating water born illnesses and distributing clean water to local citizens.

The design of the clinic was simple in order to allow for smooth circulation throughout the building so that day to day activities could be performed with efficiency. While a clinic, the building is first a water treatment and distribution center. We incorporated green roofs to allow for passive cooling and for the filtration of rainwater. As a building that is responding to the needs of the public, we included water pumps within our design. These pumps are located on the street edge to allow for water access throughout the day without ever having to interrupt the flow of clinic activities.

Dharavi Water Wellness Center

The design focuses on drawing inspiration from the surrounding area. The overlapping forms mimic the overlapping structures within the slums while also creating a public space for the residents to get away from the heat and have access to clean water. The terra cotta facade acts as a shading device and begins to tie in with the Dharavi pottery industry.

Competition :

Senegal Elementary School LBMS

This project was a studio assignment as well as a submission for a competition. The prompt for the competition was to take a lot in Marsassoum, Senegal, and design an elementary school. The school consists of seven classrooms, two offices, a library, a cantina, gardens, and a chicken coop. Our design utilizes readily available materials within the area and it also considers the environmental factors of the area. We are utilizing bioswales/gardens to collect rainwater during the rainy season, and we created as many openings within the structure as possible to allow for natural ventilation. Our design sought to utilize the full extents of the site by pushing the structures to the edges and this also allowed for extra square footage within the classrooms. Pushing the structures to the boundaries of the site also allowed for the creation of the courtyard space which we saw to be the most important space because it is a place where the kids can learn about gardening and water collection and a place to relax and play before and after classes.

Upon entering the site, one is privileged with the view of the tree down the linear courtyard, framed by the classrooms and other associated programming. Along the interior walls of these structures we can find deep porches which serve as both protection from the rain as well as shaded gathering spots for children and faculty. The courtyard space, being the main focus of the site, is lined with gardens which act as bioswales for rainwater mitigation as well as giving the school a location to grow crops which can be prepared in the cantina at the eastern side of the courtyard. Both the gardens and the cantina can provide nutrients for the students and teach the children simple agricultural principals for which they can utilize throughout their lives. The courtyard also provides an inviting and nurturing environment for the children to play, learn and strengthen bonds within the student body.

The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, otherwise known as Ballard Locks, is a complex of locks located at the west end of Salmon Bay, in Seattle, Washington. The Ballard Locks has more boat traffic than any other lock in the US and with the addition of the salmon ladder and botanical gardens it attracts more than one million visitors annually. The boat workshop is a public educational center that seeks to educate the public about the historical conditions and contemporary environmental issues of the area. The center also serves as a place for the building, storing, and maintenance of traditional fishing canoes. Located in the industrial district of Seattle, the workshop was designed to mimic the architecture of the area, using steel and concrete as the main structure. A wood cladding is added to represent the wood being used to construct the boats.

The buildings form comes from the three phases of boat construction: build, steam, release.

Ballard Locks Boat Workshop

Progression

Syncopation

Repetition The structure studies were done based off the cross-sectional qualities of a boat of my choosing, John Boat.

These cross sections were used to construct three boat canopies. After the completion of the studies, I took one of the canopies and applied the structural principle to the boat workshop.
