THE NUMUN PAVILION
The Pavilion of Humanity: The First Contact
THE NUMUN PAVILION
Agriculture stands as a testament to our achievements, propelling us away from nomadic existence into the embrace of rooted civilizations that grace our present times. The dawning of agriculture, a pivotal moment in human history, encapsulates the very essence of blooming expansion, vital nourishment, and intricate interdependence.
Drawing from the seeds of our past we can echo the spirit of innovation and harmony between humanity and nature. This project hopes to offer an opportunity to contemplate our common legacy while embracing the deep sense of solidarity and collective identity that agriculture has fostered among our species.

JOY SPRINGS
This project is dedicated to creating vibrant and joyful living spaces for seniors, designed to enhance their well-being and foster a sense of community and happiness. Recognizing the importance of a positive living environment for the elderly, the aim is to design a space where seniors can feel rejuvenated, engaged and connected with their peers while embracing their inner childlike spirit. Connecting nature with colour as a strategy to creating a joyful and happy environment that is interconnected. Bringing back the sense of joy, happiness and fun within the living environment is the main strategy within our design.
Ultimately, this project envisions senior living spaces as more than just residences; they are envisioned as dynamic hubs of joy, happiness and interconnectedness while ensuring the childlike experience of life is still here.

CASECADE HEIGHTS
At Cascade Heights on the Lake, the vision of this project is to create a harmonious blend of functionality, aesthetics, and a vibrant community experience. Inspired by the natural beauty of cascading landscapes, our architectural design captures the essence of nature while maximizing natural lighting and visual appeal.
Sustainability was prioritized by incorporating innovative materials like Cross-Laminated Timber floors and GlueLaminated timber columns, not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their environmental benefits. These elements contribute to a sustainable and eco-friendly living environment.

ATTAINABLE HOUSING MODEL // TOWNHOUSE
BSI Charrette 2024
TORONTO FOR ALL
The Attainable Housing project focuses on creating sustainable, affordable, and accessible housing solutions within urban settings. This project emphasizes the importance of addressing the housing crisis in Toronto by providing innovative and practical designs tailored to the needs of diverse communities.
Key Objectives:
- Affordability: Develop cost-effective housing options that cater to low and middle-income families.
- Sustainability: Implement green building practices and materials to minimize environmental impact.
- Accessibility: Ensure that housing units are inclusive and accessible to individuals with varying needs.
- Community Integration: Design living spaces that promote social interaction and community building.

POINT CLOUD MODELLING PROJECT
Remaking 3D model of Residential House from a Point Cloud acquired using Photogrammetry
PHOTOGRAMMETRY TO ARCHITECTURE
Vision for this project is to forge a dynamic synergy between Photogrammetry, Point Cloud, and BIM technologies. Through this transformative approach, we will transcend traditional boundaries and redefine the architectural landscape.
The rich data obtained from Photogrammetry will transition seamlessly to Point Cloud technology, translating the captured reality into intricate three-dimensional representations.
The resulting point cloud data will serve as the foundation for our creative exploration, enabling us to analyze spaces from every angle, uncover hidden insights, and ensure an unparalleled level of accuracy.

DYNAMO PROJECTS
Bosjes Farm, Witzenberg District, South Africa
BOSJES CHAPEL
This project involves the recreation of the Bosjes Chapel using Dynamo and Revit, leveraging parametric design tools to capture the chapel’s iconic, fluid form. The Bosjes Chapel, known for its undulating white roof that mimics the gentle curves of the surrounding mountain ranges, presents a perfect case study for exploring advanced .computational design techniques
SOFTWARES USED:
Revit
Dynamo
Twinmotion
Using Dynamo, a visual programming tool for Revit, parametric scripts were developed to accurately generate the chapel’s flowing roof structure
MYCELIUM PAVILION
Selected Works using Different Operations in Rhinocedros 3D & Grasshopper
This urban installation inspired by the intricate networks and organic forms of mushrooms, designed to act as a restful, shaded oasis in the city.
Its unique structure mimics the natural patterns of mycelium, creating a dynamic space that fosters community engagement while emphasizing sustainability and biophilic design.
Using Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper, parametric design techniques were employed to shape the pavilion’s organic, fluid form.
SOFTWARES USED: Lumion

• The input points are then manipulated further down the script.
2. SURFACE GENERATION
• Top Curved Loft Surface: The generated curves are lofted
• Divide Curve: Break down the curves into discrete segments for better control
3. RANDOM GEOMETRY
• Adds randomness to the control points of the generated surface
• Voronoi on Surface: Generates parametric patterning on the surface
