ABSTRACT
Metropolis Nexus is a forward-thinking urban living project that combines technology and sustainability. It offers residents fast internet, smart living, and energy efficiency while ensuring privacy and security. This inclusive and affordable community sets a new standard for modern living, showing how innovation and convenience can create a better future
At the heart of this visionary urban blueprint lies a central technological nucleus, meticulously designed as a maintenance center. This facility isn’t just a hub for routine upkeep but an epicenter for continuous evolution, a place where the city’s digital infrastructure is not only preserved but propelled forward. Expanding across the cityscape, verdant parcels of lush greenery integrate seamlessly into the urban tapestry, transforming into vibrant agricultural zones. These carefully cultivated spaces, nurtured by nearby water sources, evolve into thriving centers of local agriculture. Their purpose goes beyond cultivation; they embody self-sufficiency and sustainability, reducing reliance on external food sources while nurturing the environment.
Interwoven within the intricate design of this city are meticulously planned plazas, verdant parks, and welcoming community spaces. Two linear pathways, geometrically offset from one another and arranged linearly along the train track, converge to create a main boulevard for pedestrian circulation. Complementing this harmonious design is an efficient and expansive train system that navigates through residential areas. This robust transportation network, aligned with the linear paths, offers residents a convenient and eco-friendly mode of travel within the city limits while extending its reach to neighboring urban centers. The seamless integration of this transit system serves to bridge communities, facilitating not only effortless movement but also fostering economic growth and cultural interchange with nearby cities.

ABSTRACT
The seeds of the design concept for a con-temporary art museum in the ancient city of rome were sown when the idea emerged of seamlessly marrying together two distinct architectural styles - that of classical and modern - to create an awe-inspiring abode for the arts. Designed around the inspira-tion of “the hidden art within a city”, this museum, located in the heart of rome, in-tertwines the cityscape with the art within. The city itself is symbolically represented by the arched cover that enfolds and con-ceals the gallery spaces that take inspira-tion from nearby villas and piazzas - all of which embody and reflect the artistry and essence of the city. The aim of this museum is to reveal to visitors and art lovers alike, the hidden wonders and treasures of the city in an entirely innovative and breathtaking manner.

SCENIC DRIVE - EL PASO, TX
ABSTRACT
Designing an observatory in scenic drive, el paso, texas presented a remarkable op-portunity to leverage the extraordinary topographical shifts in the mountains. This exceptional location affords not only a brilliant platform to showcase the unique desert flora and fauna, but it is also easily visible from el paso, juarez mexico, and new mexico. The design concept of this project is to create several distinct levels, each oriented towards one of the three cities. Additionally, each level boasts an exclusive gallery space, which not only highlights the topography but also allows for the exhibition of photographs from each corresponding city.
