P e rs o na l St a t e m e nt From an early age, I’ve shown a creative passion for designing and building structures in any form. During childhood, I designed and assembled famous architecture I was fond of with any material avaliable. I found challenge of making the structure durable and firm intriguting . Ensuring that my structures only used readily available local material was imperative and this philosophy has stayed with me. I am solution focused and detail oriented. Architectural education has guided me to design proposals that consider cultural and social issues of the users and the local area and enchances their lives. Architecture that is delicate to the local context and collor collorbrates existing businesses..

Modelling Modelling is an increasingly key part of my practice. During my first year of architectural practice, my skills were limited but gradually I have grown in confidence using papercutting, PVA and providing a template for Laser-cutting.

Portmantaeu - White Rock Pavilion Second Year - First Project

Technical Drawing I am a very keen hand-drawer, both in pen and pencil, from rough sketches to diagrammes to rendered and technical final drawings. I am comfortable with orthographic drawing, particularly axonometric, and really like working in perspective. During my degree I have worked in an illustrative style using both hand-drawing, worked into using Photoshop and Illustrator. I am also experienced on Rhino. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gained an understanding of technical drawings during my undergraduate learning

Drawing Since being involved in Art and Graphic before Architecture, I have been a keen hand-drawer and sketch-artists thorugh, both in pen and pencil and paint, . I enjoy producing rough sketches and diagrammes to detailed and rendered drawings to express my thought process and vision of the projects. to rendered and technical final drawings. I am comfortable with orthographic drawing, such as isometric and axonometric but perspective is what I specialise in.

Building I have really enjoyed being part of a number of live build projects. The experience of designing and constructing something as a team is one I find very exciting and rewarding, and would like to do more of.

For each project of my degree Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve carried an illustrative style for the inital stages of development using both hand-drawing, and eventually refining the conceptual drawings through workedPhotoshop and Illustrator.

Case Study Analysis Third Year - First Project

The main focus of the investigation This particular project, involved studying and analysing a chosen case study and disecting a key aspect of the building for example the circulation or the materiality through different methods. This project will enable me to develop a design tool to carry onto the following project Description of Gaasbeek Chamber Music Hall

An appealing project to their list. In Gaasbeek, the rural hinterland of Brussels, the architects

transformed a former dairy into guest quarters for musicians with a music room. They carefully restored the old building in front and added a new ziggurat-shaped wing that houses a small practice and concert hall at the rear. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Robbrecht en Daem architectenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; used the form of the ziggurat previously in the Chambre Music Hall in the Concert Hall in Bruges.

Main Material Used - Red Brick and white brick for the exterior of the building and the music hall. Plaster Walls with timber framing for the interior of the House.

‘Civic Growth in Bethnal Green’ Third Year - Second Project

What are the Issues to be addressed? Bethnal Green is starting to follow the trend of other areas within East London of showing symptoms associated in gentification. There are positives from this process such as renovating deteriorated urban neighbourhoods and vital investment to an area that needs to but ultimately leads to the detriment of the surrounding neighbourhoods and businesses as it often shifts a neighbourhood’s social-demographical composition, forcing established residents and businesses out. The main focus of the investigation

To start from observing the current condition of automotive repair/ maintainance sector situated underneath the railways arches of Three Colts Lane, Bethnal Green and the reasons for National Rail’s decision to replace of these existing industries in favour by contemporary retail businesssed related to gentrification. My

projects aims to highlight some of the social and cultural issues created from the obsolescence of the current occupants inside the railway arches and surrounding neighbourhood. What I intend to provide through my proposal

‘Civic Growth’. Residential population growth, changing demographic and evolving employment opportunities in Bethnal Green have outstipped the proviion of community support space and adult education services. The project includes education spaces where digital skils are taught to mechanics to service the next generationof cars and community spaces for local housing association residents. The buildings robust modular frame allows volumes to be reconfigured over time adapting to future demands in employmentand residents organisations.

1700s The silk-weaving trade spread eastwards from Spitalfields throughout the 18th century. This attracted many Huguenot and Irish weavers to the district. Large estates of small two story cottages were developed in 1900 The post-war clearance of slums and bomb sites broke up long-established neighbourhoods and – in a creative but doomed response to the problem – the council turned to building clusters of high-rise blocks in the 1929 The York Hall is a health and leisure centre and one of Britain’s best known boxing venues. The venue is situated on Old Ford Road in Bethnal Green, London

The market is just a stones throw away from the internationally renowned York Hall, and within walking distance from the trendy Shoreditch, and sells a wide range of items from clothes to fruit and vegetables. 1943 On 3 March 1943 at 8:27PM the unopened Bethnal Green tube station was the site of a wartime disaster.

Along Three Colts Lane and Cambridge Heath Road are array of MOT Repair and Metal works businesses situated under the Railway arches The V&A Museum of Childhood on Cambridge Heath Road houses the child related objects of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Bethnal Green now has a mixture of

Material Analysis / Permanency and flexibility of the site Permanent and Flexible Structure and Materials

Hadleigh Street

The existing site, which is an abandoned yard is blocked off by an exterior brick wall with a metal fence, affects the entry for residents. It also affects the appearance of the site. In order to provide a proposal of the site which is easy to access, the brick wall needs to be removed.

1. Original Brickwork of the Railway Line

Flexible and Removable Structure

The yard has been severely neglected over the years which has lead to a growing amount of waste being disposed on the site. There is also overgrown vegetation which has to be removed.

Malcolm Place

The proposed site only has three entrances mainly due to the brick wall acting as a perimeter. Braintree Street, Malcolm Road and an intimidating entrance through an alley. The entrances are currently blocked off with brickwork. They need to be more accessible and safer for the public.

Site Analysis Analysing the permanency and flexibility of certain structures and the materials to determine what material should I use for the exterior Conclusion Made - By analysing the permanency and flexibility of certain structures within my sample site, I concluded that programmes would do not require different functions and changes in size should be positioned within the Railway units under the arches. Adaptable programmes should be positioned outside and surrounding the arches e.g the yard (Malcolm Road) or under

Investigating the User’s issues Housing residents Identifying the users’ issues The Mapping of urban housing estates and community centres within Bethnal Green intented to find a correlation behind them in relation to my sample site Conclusion made After plotting all of the LCC Housing Estates, community Centres and housing estates that provide extra facilities on to the map, I noticed that there’re a lack of recreation spaces and community space around the area of my site. This further emphasises the need to provide extra facilities to the residents of Braintree, Sceptre, Bancropt House (Estates around the site) which will bring the community closer together.

Permanent Framework Illustrated Brief and Programmatic Strategy

Social clubs and receptions for elderly occupants

Through the analysis of the users of the sample site, I decided to narrow to only two users, the Housing residents and the mechanics from the existing businesses. I decided to find three types of tenants that will live in the estates. By finding about their agendas and programmes they would use, I came up with initial ideas for programmes.

4. After 20 years, it’s likely the industries related to the programmes the proposal holds will change. The flexibility of the structure can adapt to the change in requirements by rearranging the column and beam sizes. Technical industries might require more office space, therefore ceiling height per rooms will be reduced per room and more levels.

It’s important to consider that the industries that occupy the surrounding area might change over the next decade or two, therefore my structure should be able to adapt to the change in requirements of different programmes. 36

Portmanteau - White Rock Pavilion Second Year - First Project

Inspired by the physical ephemera and unexpected activites and structures that line the Hastings seafront. I was given the task to create a portmanteau that combines two disparate purposes, one economic and one civic, to create a new typology. Through collage and model-making, each student will create their own intervention along the waterfront. The development of my proposal involved a site visit of the Hastings Pier, identifying sites for our interventions along the waterfront and documenting the journey through photographs. Cameras and sketchbooks are essential.

drawings.

Inspired by precedents of underground amphitheatres and indian stairwells, I decided to create an inventation for for local musicians and comedians of Hastings to perform to the public. Parts of the site that were ultilised are the underground car park underneath the pier, the seafront and the subway tunnel.

Pooja Agrawal will lead a collage workshop to create a ‘portmanteau’ which fuses two ideas and programmes into one proposal that students will develop over the following weeks.

The project included development work: models, model photos, site research and analysis and technical

Development of the Proposal For this project, I ultilised different mediums for express my proposal. Each included the different programmes and activities that are taken place over the course of the day.

Keep the Change Second Year - Second Project

Similar the previous project, the main project was based in Hastings. I build on the lessons learnt from project 1. I produced imagÂŹinative proposals which have a hybrid function, part civic and part economic. This project explored the Live/ Work typology, combining ideas of domesticity and economy. Live/ work buildings have a rich spatial and social history. This project explored production in Hastings at the moment, and speculate about what typologies and ideas might be relevant to Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future.

The development of my proposal involved, volumetic programming, sketching, material testing through collage and renderings through rhino and photoshop. This proposal is split into three programmes;

1. An acoustic designed Radio Station offers a facility where Amateur Radio members, and local Radio Companies can work to the best of ability and visitors from London can enjoy the Amateur Radio experience. 2. I want to provide a space where members from John Taplin Center, various societies/asscocations from Hastings and Visitors from London can relax and interact through dining or observing the different collections in the Exhibition Stands.

3. After the long activities of Amateur Radio throughout the day, visitors from London can unwind in a 2 bedroom accommodation with a Kitchen, lounge, dining space and rooftop garden.

Rapha Cyclocross Challenge First Year External Project

During my first year in Architectural education, I collobrated with fellow students in designing part of the obstacle course for the third and final round of the Rapha Super Cross Series, which featured in Central St Martins. The super cross series involved are races for kids, amateurs, veterans and pros.

The inital development stages of the project involved each group to conjure up an obstacle that will be challenging to the cyclist and a spctle for the crowd. After long discussion, we all agreed on designing a ramp that the cyclists to ride over. The design of the ramp was a difficult task as the safety of the obstable was paramount. This

prevented us from evelating the ramp beyond 3 metres or set it at a steep angle. Our final approved design was a ramp that pivotted at a 180 degrees and include a protective barrier that protected cyclists from falling over the edge.

The first stage of construction involved assembling the framework of timber joints, columns and beams together. Once that was completed we drilled MDF panels to the trianglar joints one by one, which was a different task because it was hard to position the panels in different angles. After the

Making Week Pavilion Third Year External Project

For Making Week, Stage 2 of BAASSO collaborated with Stage 3 students for the duration of one week. The task was to produce structures to support a temporary event, which was in this case the Degree Show. The work on display will include creating models and drawings of varying scale, and possibly film or video.

We were split into six teams of two groups. After meeting up with my group we started to come up with various research and sketches of ideas of structures and the joists. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really happy with the speed of productivity. It took too long to produce any signifance drawings of ideas, which slowed down the production for the first day. We should of set a deadline for all of us to produce at least 1 idea of a structure. 0.1

After the early stage of producing ideas, we ended up with two unique and interesting structures which allows the user to pivot frames which hold portfolio work.

What I found really useful in enhancing the development of the two structures further and elimating problems in the design was producing in a 3D form, whether take be a sketch model or a 1:1 scale of the joints. From this, our group was able to test out the mechnisims of the structure. I believe the degelegation of tasks to each members was poor as myself and other members were unaware of what were the plans aheads. On Thursday, the majority of us was just standing around because we had nothing to do. 0.2

What should of been done from the start was a lists of tasks for each days and a set of technical drawings of the structure. In the future, one of the members will take the responsibility of producing a document of the roles of each members and conceptual and technical drawing published in a Facebook group.

Although I thought the degelegation of tasks was dissatifactory, we collobarated well as a group when it came to the construction process of the project. Everyone provided a effective contribution, whether it was one cutting the beam and crossbeams, another producing Joints from plywood, sanding down the edges of each beam so they could slot into the joints or applying nails though the beams and joints to provide support.
