Living Network
Fall 2022 | Urban Design Studio II - “Atlanta After Property”
Teammates: Deepa Gopalakrishnan, Di Le, John Grunewald Techwood Homes, Atlanta, Georgia
Living Network imagines a world after property where home is not subject to a monetary obligations, but rather a network of relationships and responsibilities based on kinship. A model of collective stewardship that ensures security in place.
We define “after property” as a collective form of resistance centering embeddedness and belonging, creating kinship through a communal mutual aid network and liberated through collectivism from the oppression that the system of individual ownership yielded, supported by a culture of care.

RootED Canarsie
Summer 2022 | Urban Design Studio I
Teammates: Anagha Arunkumar, Deepa Gopalakrishnan, Jiani Dai, Rubian Lian Brooklyn, New York
With a population of over 100,00 people in Canarsie, Brooklyn, there are only two sources where residents can buy fresh cultural produce. A low-income neighborhood, Canarsie residents have a high rate of health issues such as obesity and diabetes. We look at this issue through schools, as they are an important node in communities and shape our children and future.
Canarsie park is a large waterfront park where we would like to allocate a small portion of this government-owned land into a community-owned garden. Another intervention is to transform the K-8 schools, their menus, and their curriculum into one that allows food education and cultural enrichment. These school kitchens will be refurbished into improved facilities that act as community kitchens that are rented out to local entrepreneurs to generate revenue. This process of farm to table or farm to school, increases the overall health benefits of the children of Canarsie as well as the community. Farmers markets will also occur on weekends as a means of providing the produce and meals prepped by food entrepreneurs to the community.

Spring 2022 | Landscape Architecture Studio IV Phoenix, Arizona
By designing workforce housing for emerging urban designers, it creates an attainable, creative, and collaborative space for designers with under five years of experience to live and work. I reached out to twelve emerging designers with a survey to collect information regarding their preferences, interests, and financial situations.
This community of six compact, modular, container dwellings include three 1b1b, two 2b1b, and one accessible studio. It also includes common areas and a landscaped courtyard for shared recreations of interest.
