Master of Tall Buildings and Vertical Urbanism Bachelor of Architecture
As a problem solver providing solutions through spatial design, my focus has naturally evolved in response to societal requirements and different cultural context. Beginning with smaller projects, my curiosity pushed me towards expanding my interest in a broad range of scales. Throughout my educational journey,
I’ve honed skills in offering research-driven remedies, effectively visualizing concepts, presenting ideas persuasively, and advocating for them.
My portfolio comprises projects, encompassing a spectrum from low to high-rise , landscape to urban design, and object design to architecture.

The essence of the institution is derived from its provision of chances for scholars across various disciplines to exchange, deliberate upon, and enhance their knowledge.
To transcend the primary constraint of tall buildings – their straightforward circulation and enclosed interiors – the project employs the notion of a labyrinth within the context of a high-rise structure.
In addition to drawing inspiration from the concept of a labyrinth, the project strives to fully integrate the surrounding landscape, harnessing its maximum potential and enabling it to actively engage with circulation and the overall experiential aspect.

Pilsen, located in Chicago, has been established by various immigrant communities spanning different eras. Within this culturally heterogeneous locality, the project seeks to offer a unifying remedy using a universally cherished medium: food.
The project begins with a manual Geographic Information System (GIS) process, searching for the ideal sites for food commons, and ends with an urban design that fosters a sustainable community capable of a wholesome flow of food production and distribution.

As architects are responsible of more than 40% of carbon emission, we are ought to build more consciously, build less, or not build. The proect aims to rehabilitate a typical Chicago Style architecture into an art school tailored for younger generations.
The renovation project retains its original facade and timber structure while introducing transformative elements. These include an undulating glass exterior, an expanded rooftop for heightened ceilings, and the addition of a grand staircase on the ground level to facilitate public gatherings.

Teamwork | Divya Sureban, Will Basco
According to the UN, over 68% of the global population is expected to reside in cities by 2050. Given this scenario, the project raises a fundamental question:
Are present cities adequately prepared for a population influx amidst climate change?
As a solution, the project proposes an ‘urban system’ of vertical expansion while striving for a humane and people-centric vertical urban approach and horizontal solutions such as engineered land to mitigate the sea levels.

Towards 2070: Vertical Adaptation
Proposed Circulation in 2070 Future City
In present urban landscape, circulation is defined by boundaries, fostering rigid distinctions between interior-exterior and vertical-horizontal elements. High-rise structures, though, constitute a sequence of interconnected horizontal spaces. I advocate for an inventive cityscape promoting fluid movement with harmonious verticalhorizontal circulation.
Volumetric Blobs To attain adaptable movement patterns, volumetric design is incorporated in high-rise structures. Through sculpting volume, a continuous surface emerges, imbuing the space with dynamism and fluid spatial qualities.

Our affinity for nature is profound, often finding valuable lessons in its ways.
Drawing inspiration from the cellular structure of a dragonfly’s eye and the phenomenon of light refraction, the Polyhedragon mask offers an encompassing 360° visual outlook achieved through its parametric cells.
