PERSONAL STATEMENT Design and built spaces around us play a immense role in shaping our daily life presently and its future as well. I believe that a smart and efficient leadership which shapes an urban design practise where we strive towards an integrated and collaborative approach to all design problems is the way we can ensure a net zero or even net positive result in this world today that faces innumerable challenges due to the anthropogenic carbon footprint we have created.
Pradhan Mandiri Awaz Yojana, Housing for Urban Poor Project, Kollam, India
Having spent a good share of my life in both the developing and the developed parts of the world, I was really able to ground myself and see the contrast in life and how certain trends may not be for the best.
COMPETITIONS
I believe that the coming few decades are going to see tremendous change and growth and it is upon us to be responsible global citizens and decide whether it is for the better or worst.

: Academic Capstone Project, Individual work : January 2020 - April 2020 : 422,037.9m2 : Kevin King, Marta Farevaag, Ron Kellett and Camila Curi
The intent of the project was to create an urban ecosystem, to not just restore, but also to regenerate the degraded natural ecosystem and ameliorate it to the point where we provide a net positive result, incorporating human awareness, growth and resiliency with the appropriate use of land with it. The site extended from Fraser street to Knight street and bordered by SE Marine Dr. and Fraser River and hence needed a sensitive water-land interface incorporating sea level rise.

02. NEIGHBOURHOOD SCALE DESIGN OF FALSE CREEK SOUTH Type Date Site Area Supervisor
: Academic, group work : July 2019 - September 2019 : 193,500m2 : Joyce Drohan and Caner Oktem
The unique neighbourhood of South False Creek, sitting on city owned land being under pressure of urbanisation had to accommodate the increase in density while preserving its Eden-like character. The site was analysed through 4 main lenses: mobility, built form, public realm and the blue-green networks. After the analysis phase, major potential connections and big moves were identified. The site was then divided into 4 geographic zones where my group was responsible for the west most zone bordered by Cambie St. The rendering beside shows an example of how residential enclaves are created like the existing false creek south co-op buildings, having a balance of private and public spaces within them.

DESIGN PROCESS
Step 1 :
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Keeping the false creek as an anchor and using the Fairview Slopes to weave in the larger blue and green networks through the site. This completed the connections using elements in the public realm like underground cisterns as well as individual water harvesting methods.
Establishing clear connections through the site which take pedestrians to the waterfront making it more accessible and public. Strategic positioning of the street-car line is also a crucial part of this for the larger network of Vancouver citizens to access the sea wall more easily.
Through these connections, establish definite congregation spaces which would act as placemakers and hold the public realm together.

INCLUSIVE HOUSING
Current trends informed us in determining the building use split. We also looked into the affordable housing crisis in Vancouver and through this, we accomplished a diverse housing tenure type as well as unit typologies.

03. REGIONAL SCALE URBAN DESIGN OF VANCOUVER
Type Date Site Area Supervisor
: Academic, individual work : September 2019 - December 2019 : 193,500m2 : Patrick M. Condon
Housing affordability is a problem being faced in the city of Vancouver for several years now. During this studio, we explored various different ways by which we could increase population and job density across the city fabric without wiping out the existing structures by using a method of gentle infill, employing green and sustainable infrastructure.

DOCUMENTING HOUSING TYPOLOGIES IN STRATHCONA
With the presence of the alley way and the large plot sizes in the cit of Vancouver we could identify several ways by which more density could be accommodated. Gentle infill is a way of increasing density in the single detached housing neighbourhoods where separate living units were introduced in spaces like the basements, dormers or lane-way houses.

04. INTERMODAL TRANSIT HUB, BANGALORE
Type Date Site Area Build Up Area Supervisor
: Academic thesis, individual work : June 2017 - December 2017 : 40,048m2 : 18,078m2 : Shahanaz Jaleel, T.K.M.C.E.
With the rapid expansion of Indian metropolitan cities, I believe that mass transit is essential for the day to day functioning of the city. This site located in Yelahanka, one of the satellite towns to Bangalore. After feasibility studies, it was found that this site would be ideal for an inter modal transit hub which combined the Bangalore metro, the High Speed Rail Link (from the airport to the city centre) and the local and inter state buses. The idea was to set the prototype for the coming decade of mass transportation improvement in different metropolitan areas in India.

Metropolitan cities in India face tremendous pressure of urbanisation and is often unable to keep up with the population density pouring into the city.
The streets are not sufficient to support the daily traffic on the roads and hence end up becoming unusable.
This demands for an integrated urban transit network which combines all the existing modes of transit to frame an efficient commuter system throughout the cities in India.

05. URBAN DESIGN OF THE PINK CITY IN JAIPUR
Type Date Supervisor
: Academic, group and individual work : January 2017 - May 2017 : Shahanaz Jaleel, T.K.M.C.E.
The Pink City area in Jaipur is one of the only pre-modern planned cities in India. It flourished during the epoch for the trade and handicrafts industry making it a wealthy state for the Rajputs. The market character of the city resonates even to this day even after about 3 centuries. The city battles between character preservation and the economic development of the area.

07. MULTI - SPECIALITY HOSPITAL, KOLLAM
Type : Academic, individual work Date : January 2016 - June 2016 Built Up Area : 23,936 m2 Supervisor : Sumam Panijkaran
The multi-speciality hospital was designed around the idea of using nature as an agent for healing. The pleasant weather of the region makes it possible for the patients to have their own private outdoor space which could help improve mental well being. The most naturalistic and simplistic methods were used to design this building.

M U L T I - S P E C I A L I T Y H O S P I T A L | 41
The traditional Kerala courtyard house characteristics were taken as a base due to its numerous passive climate design.
Splitting the building into 2 halves gave the possibility of further increasing airflow as well as circulation for the various services required in a hospital.
42 | M U L T I - S P E C I A L I T Y H O S P I T A L
With the increase in scale from that of a traditional house to a hospital, special green corridors were made to pierce through the building which improved the overall air flow through the building and connectivity to green spaces.
M U L T I - S P E C I A L I T Y H O S P I T A L | 43
Every in-patient room was designed in such a way that it had direct access to their own private outdoor green space and in most cases balconies too to connect them to the outdoors and face the water canal because nature has positive psychological effects on the sick mind and helps to heal it.
