EcoArt Quad

Location: South Quad, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign

Indiviual Project

The “EcoArt” quad project takes inspiration from the concepts of Patricia Johanson and her conjucture of Environmental planning and Art, for landscape architecture. The Quad is re-designed to ease movement in the existing site which focuses on pockets of spaces that are designed to be both ecological and social. The background grid is imaged as combination patches of green spaces that are combination of patches that focus on bio retention areas for the site, enhancing plant pockets that are also pollinator gardens, and lawn areas that are flexible spaces for the people to use. The idea remains to propose to a site that is social and environmentally balanced.

Novartis Campus Park

Location: Novartis Campus, Zurich, Switzerland

Indiviual Project

The project involved dissecting and understanding of Novartis Campus Park located inside the Novartis headquarters in Switzer land designed by Van Gogt Landscape Architects. The park’s design echoes the Rhine’s geomorphic and vegetative phenomena. The design references its surroundings, geologically and botanically, working mainly with natural vegetation. One of the main features of this park is it’s Hohlweg, which are narrow track cut into rammed earth walls, which are overgrown with vegetation. The study involved studying the park from it’s different layers and making a scale model to understand it’s materiality and fea tures.

OF RISING URBANIZATION

The studio aimed at designing a housing in an environment conductive for co existence to what the site offers in terms of it’s resources, economic situations, historic context and existing typology. My design concept was to inhabit the community spaces in relation to my unit design and my site placement. The process that took forward focused on responding to ‘part to whole’ and ‘whole to part’. Addressing the existing pre-historical context of Dariyapur. Developing the housing in relation to the past, present and the future. The units were designed to be flexible.
