MT GRAVATT SHOWGROUND
Farmer’s market
Year: 2024
Type: System of Adaptation
Location: Brisbane, QLD
The Mount Gravatt Farmers Market Redevelopment project seeks to revitalize existing facilities at the Mount Gravatt Showgrounds. Commissioned by the Mount Gravatt Showgrounds Trust, the project aims to create a comprehensive architectural solution that enhances the market’s functionalityand experience.Itgivenitshistoricalsignificance and role as a multicultural and ecological hub, the redevelopment must respect the site’s heritage while addressing the evolving needs of the community.
the project enhance pollinator habitats by enhancing pollinator link that not only supports local biodiversity but also serves as an educational space for visitors. Additionally, A key component of the vision is to promote urban farming, providing opportunities for the community to engage in sustainable food production.

Enhancingthepollinatorcorridor betweenpointsMtGravattandBulimba creek will facilitate the connection of two ecological corridors, promoting biodiversity and the establishment of native flora and fauna within the urban environment.
Two potential ecological corridors existbetweenMountGravattReserve and Bulimba Creek: Mount Gravatt Showground and Marshfield State High School. These corridors align with existing council ecological buffer zones, providing habitat for 254 native plant species and 46 butterfly species, alongside other native flora and fauna. The primary environmentalgoalofthisplanistoestablishand maintain these areas for habitat restoration.
The Mount Gravatt Showground is at theintersectionofthreekeycorridors: a pedestrian walking trail connecting the showground to Mount Gravatt, a Brisbane City Council bicycle route, anda crucial pollinator pathway.

Iteration 3

2.The angular building design minimizes pedestrian footprint while enhancingsiteconnectivity.Thebuilding’sgeometrycreatesaseriesofdirectional paths that radiate outwards, facilitating circulation and access tovarious site amenities.
Iteration 4

SPORTS PRECINCT
Year: 2022
Type: Research Workshope
Location: Delhi, India
Theprimaryobjectiveof the sportsinitiative isto investigate a new building type for multi-level sports facilities. Vertical construction is made possible by the incorporation of all Olympic indoor sports in order to establish one of the finest facilities. The design intends to create a communal experience in which the sports facilities complement and interact with one another in a shared open space. The corridor provides vistas of the outdoor sports facilities and showcases the surrounding nature, and is bordered by a collection of indoor sports that form a“sports cloud.”
The design prioritizes the construction of interactive spaces where users can simultaneously engage, appreciate, and communicate with multiple sports facilities, not only within the precinct but also from a greater distance away.

Site movement pattern
Phase 1:
Massing for Sports Facilities: The design uses a volume mass for sports facilities, using 30% of the maximum ground area and 2.5 FAR for built-up space. The bulk is deliberately placed onthenorthwestendoftheproperty forbest dispersion and integration.
Phase 2:
Additional Masses: Outdoor masses forinterior activitiesare added tothe structure.Thesenorth-southvolumes provide functional areas for varied activities.
Phase 3:
Split Mass: The primary mass is separated into two equal pieces to improve circulation. These wings share a central space, making floor-to-floor travel easier. A patio on the bottom level adds aestheticsand openness.
Phase 4
The building’s wings are inclined to enhance its form. The wings’ complicated angles provide a better view of the site, improving the building’s attractiveness.
Phase 5
The sports facilities purposely create a blank area to frame the metropolitan vista. This hole improves airflow, cross ventilation, and green space, creating a pleasant and sustainable atmosphere.
Phase 6:
Open spaces are created by staggering the structure to fit the courts. These areas may be used to grow plants and create a natural sports facility atmosphere.
Project concept and vision
Study explored a lengthy sequence of research activities, including a literature evaluation, analysis of past instances, the development of design concepts and briefs, context analysis, and experimentation. The bulkofthestudygoalsweremetsatisfactorily during these stages. To match with the most effective testing and analysis outputs, the first brief required many modifications and adjustments
Theresearchresultsimplythatthedevelopmentdesignideamust berefinedandexploredfurtherwithrespecttolocalenvironmental aspects such as geography, climate, culture, and society. This would allow suitable design concepts to be applied to individual places. The initiative has also proved the usefulness of the previous phase’s design concepts in reconnecting employees with nature. However, considering the numerous techniques of integrating nature in office buildings and the wide range of climatic circumstances, there is need for more investigation. It may be worthwhile to investigate the findings of research that integrates environmentalcontextandculturalconcernsasaguideforfuture design.

The sports complex addresses urban air pollution, which affects people’s everyday life. The research emphasizes favorable benefits on athletes’ health, performance, and well-being. It also promotes user involvement, information sharing, and new possibilities. These improvements should foster a healthy urban culture. The study also features unique site planning with a regenerative approach that protects the Indian vernacular, harmonizes with the local environment,andfollowssustainabledesignprinciples. It also discusses the study’s goals, background, and obstacles.
