02 ‘UNEARTHED’ A PROPOSAL FOR THE RE-CONNECTION OF SOUTH PARK SPRING 2024

REDEVELOPMENT IS RARELY A BINARY PROCESS; INSTEAD, IT EXISTS IN A GRAY AREA THAT REQUIRES EXPLORATION. UNEARTHED EMBRACES THIS AMBIGUITY BY TRANSFORMING SOUTH PARK’S ALLEYWAYS INTO ACTIVE, COMMUNITY-DRIVEN SPACES. BY INTEGRATING THESE UNDERUTILIZED SPACES INTO THE URBAN FABRIC, THE PROJECT FOSTERS SOCIAL CONNECTION WHILE MITIGATING GENTRIFICATION. GUIDED BY COMMUNITY INPUT, UNEARTHED AIMS TO REVEAL HIDDEN NETWORKS WITHIN BOTH THE LANDSCAPE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, FOSTERING A MORE INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.

SOFTWARES: REVIT, LUMION, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR THIS PROJECT IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT INVOLVING FOUR GROUP MEMBERS.

04 ‘AARAMBHA’ CORRECTIONAL FACILITY AT MUMBAI, INDIA UNDERGRAD THESIS 2020

REDEFINING CORRECTIONAL FACILITY DESIGN: MY UNDERGRADUATE THESIS EXPLORED THE DESIGN OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES WITH A FOCUS ON FOSTERING HEALING AND REHABILITATION RATHER THAN MERE CONFINEMENT. BY RETHINKING SPATIAL ORGANIZATION, MATERIALS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, THE PROJECT AIMED TO CREATE ENVIRONMENTS THAT PROMOTE WELL-BEING AND TRANSFORMATION. THIS EXPERIENCE DEEPENED MY INTEREST IN DESIGNING SPACES WHERE HEALING IS NOT JUST POSSIBLE BUT INTENTIONALLY INTEGRATED INTO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.
