A Stream of Parasites

2022- 2023

This project draws inspiration of how natures beauty may be extracted to mirror itself in different scales, and areas of our universe, from the molecular to the landform, and offer water an inter-scalar influence from the neighbourhood to human scale, creating a system of parasitic architecture, growing from its stems, and indefinitely flowing and adapting in-between the gridded geometric and organic pockets of living in the Red Hook housing block in Brooklyn NYC. Hybridising local services, semi-green facades, and natural air and water purification systems all aid in creating a gradient of co-living quarters, fluently ranging to different thresholds of public and private spaces for the housing inhabitants through time.

Proposed site, and surrounding ammenities.

Throughout various layers amongst the urban fabric of gentrification and long term development plans in the London borough of Newham has caused for harsh disconnects between the authoritative representatives and public demographics in the borough. My intervention canonically contrasts the architectural style of Newham while blending in its scale, to create a multiplicity of town halls which pocket in different areas of the neighborhoods in the obsolete petrol stations which in essence merge with their local surroundings. Catering the needed immediate surroundings, programs of public support, libraries, playgrounds, and offices interchangeably circulate the space which is founded on the abstraction and extrapolation of the single step to define spaces, thus creating a continuos landscape for collaboration.

Euphony 2021

A proposal submitted for the Buildner Competition, representing and spacialising two contrasting emotions under the same structure. Proposed as a museum of emotions, visitors of this pavillion experience the regulated breeze, shading, and lighting conditions in their immediette surroundings of the rainforest, heightening the human emotions and senses through the architecture.

Remote INTER-connection

One thing we all shared in commonality during the pandemic the past years is the harsh shift of our work environments to our homes. This project analyses the work environment which I had to undertake my studies remotely. Which were done in a multi-use room of study, activity, and play for different applicants and personalities which I lived with during the time. This project analytically studies this space, and models it to a scale of 1:10, trying to capture the essence of the environment, while intentionally reducing the detailed resolution of the space without key things, such as light switches, door handles, and covers. Thus showcasing a saddening yet perfected view of a space, one is forced to re imagine in a different lense

Dar Al Omran Works 2022

In the firm, Dar Al Omran, I was a part of a team desgining for a proposed resort island in a competition in the south coasline of Saudi Arabia. Learning to design at an urban scale, while creating pockets of intimacy of varying scales, I learnt how to collaborate with different architects, landscape engineers, and structural engineers, while listening and understanding the clients points of view. I designed pathway chairs, beach tents, three courtyards, the hotel pool area, and evening campsite tents with the team.

Over the past term, I have been studying the architectural voids of the inflated space. EFTE plastic has been of rising popularity due to its recyclability, and ability to be inflated with air to create serendipitous shapes which act as clouds for occupants to come in and experience. I have abstracted this in the shape of the shower cap which encompasses the foldable, and filled nature of the cloud voids at a smaller scale. The brief throughout this term asks us to question these architectural voids, and merge them to explore the potentiality of creating a singular unit composed of two elements. Instead of always looking at the end result, I was therefore forced to begin with a goal envisioned, and design the apparatus applicable to achieve that. This was experimented through countless interations, and the use of plaster of paris and concrete to cast the moulds.

Personal Works

2019- 2023

This page highlights some of my other hobbies and talents, which I enjoy. In particular, I have always been fond of analysing faces, and facial expressions, their composition, and agression or fluidity always capture in hightlighting emotions and changing the spacial settongs of their surroundings.
