Architecture – Follies
The folly design moves away from strictly functional architecture, focusing instead on using its distinctive form to foster interaction and balance between human scale, the specific location, and possibly the broader surroundings. This approach leads to a flexible, adaptive use of space that welcomes varying interpretations and modifications, with a strong emphasis on integrating play and recreational elements suitable for all ages.

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 functionality and experience. It given its historical significance 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.

Site context
Enhancing the pollinator corridor between points Mt Gravatt and Bulimba 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 exist between Mount Gravatt Reserve 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 environmental goal of this plan is to establish and maintain these areas for habitat restoration.
The Mount Gravatt Showground is at the intersection of three key corridors: a pedestrian walking trail connecting the showground to Mount Gravatt, a Brisbane City Council bicycle route, and a crucial pollinator pathway.

Masterplan iteration testing
Iteration 1
1. market Pavilion divides the site into two parts Recreation communities spaces near the dot water Entrance and the side And the other side. Is mostly quite and dedicated. to landscaping and create and habitat for pollinator. write it simple
2. Service and utility areas are near Lay Street for easy access for market delivery trucks. There is a dedicated loading zone given nearby.
3. A grid layout creates a walkway to connect different parts of the site, including a nature trail. This design also separates the buildings based on their uses.
Iteration 2
1. Flower beds along the nature trail offer a sensory and learning experience for visitors while simultaneously serving as a navigational tool for pollinators, guiding them from the pollinator sanctuary towards the wetland for water source.
2.The site incorporates a layered landscape approach to accommodate diverse ecological functions. This strategy facilitates the coexistence of human recreational activities and pollinator habitats within a unified space.
Iteration 3
1.Pavilions were strategically trimmed to minimize their footprint and align with the site’s contours. This approach ensured a single-level building placement, thereby reducing ground obstruction.
2.The angular building design minimizes pedestrian footprint while enhancing site connectivity. The building’s geometry creates a series of directional paths that radiate outwards, facilitating circulation and access to various site amenities.
Iteration 4
1. The incorporation of two additional structures (stage and community kitchen), one aligned with the existing building, facilitated the creation of an interactive community space.
2. Semi-covered resting and barbecue areas are strategically located along the pedestrian to facilitate community picnics.

DWARKA SECTOR 17
SPORTS PRECINCT
Year: 2022
Type: Research Workshope
Location: Delhi, India
The primary objective of the sports initiative is to 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.
Software Used : Revit, Autocad, Lumion, Photoshop
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 on the northwest end of the property for best dispersion and integration.
Phase 2 :
Additional Masses: Outdoor masses for interior activities are added to the structure. These north-south volumes 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 aesthetics and 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 bulk of the study goals were met satisfactorily during these stages. To match with the most effective testing and analysis outputs, the first brief required many modifications and adjustments
The research results imply that the development design idea must be refined and explored further with respect to local environmental 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 environmental context and cultural concerns as a guide for future 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, and follows sustainable design principles. It also discusses the study’s goals, background, and obstacles.

Unit specification
The concept is based with the zoning process, averting the placement of sports facilities in enclosed spaces. This approach treats each sports facility as a component of a larger whole, rather than as a discrete entity.
