I believe that architecture cannot be learnt, it must evolve through reading, travelling, observation and interaction with people from different backgrounds and cultures. It is a way of expressing oneself in the form of built spaces and design.

marine parade HDB January 2018
The assignment brief was to study and analyse an existing HDB Unit - Marine Parade HDB Complex near ECP in Singapore. We based our study on various urban parameters like texture, network, mobility, landscape and social activities at the network scale. The HDB complex is flanked by an open, public space - East Coast Park on one side, and a dense urban network on the other mostly consisting of private entitites and condos. Our goal is to recognize this HDB as a sort of entrance or gateway from one end to the other with an easy flow of movement through the transformation of teritory, thus “Breaking Barriers�

baosteel factory February 2018
The design brief was to analyse the existing condition of BaoSteel Factory (Shanghai’s first steel plant) at the network and built environment scale. The site was decomposed into four major parameters - ecology, social condition, mobility and lastly energy potential. Based on these existing conditions, we identified objectives and proposed strategies for the same at both the scales with a main goal of designing a University Town/Campus that integrates all these paramaters sustainably, at the same time addressing “Liveability” , “Resilience” and “Net-Zero Energy”.

Existing Mega Structures blocking the natural wind flow / movement
Ecological corridor along the wind direction, helps bring in • cool air into the site • reduces LST/UHI • provides shade and cooling
In order to facilitate the free and unobstructed flow of wind, punctures or cuts are proposed in the mega structures. This also helps facilitate cross ventilation across the site, reducing HVAC load
Existing major infrastructure like the port transformed into wetland water treatment park with multi-functional activities
