Architecture is a tool to carve our future.

Throughout my career I have focused on creating spaces that are both functional and meaningful. I have honed my skills in research, design, planning and visualization learning about multiple facets of Architecture.

I believe that the easiest way to solve a problem is to thoroughly understand it and break it down into doable bits. I take immense interest in digital fabrication technologies and plant based materials. My diverse professional and educational experiences have broadened my understanding of architecture and its impact on our lives.

isasters, by nature are bound to leave impacts. Some are small, some are large, some are recovered from in short time, some take long. One such disaster took birth in mid 20th century where a minority group of Rohingyas fled their homeland of Myanmar and set foot in Bangladesh. Little they knew that the seemingly temporary feud will become one of the biggest humanitarian crises of 21st century.

The Rohingya people are a stateless ethnic group who predominantly follow Islam and reside in Rakhine state, Myanmar.

They are recognized separately, speak different dialect, and in minority than other native Muslims. Today, around 1.1 million Rohingya refugees live in the Kutupalong Camp located in Ukhiya Upazilla of Cox Bazaar district in Bangladesh.

This thesis aimed to investigate the impact of Ethnic Violence on Rohingyas and the traumas they endured throughout this period of suppression. It deals with their understanding their living situations in the aftermath of this disaster and attempts to provide design solution for improving those situations in the camp.

orderless- To deconstruct the notion of physical border and reimagine it as a culmination of shared values. The project is located on the bank of River Rhine which has France to the east and Germany to the west.

The design of the complex is focused on creating a traction for people of both Kehl and Strasbourg. The programming is derived from the most active street of Kehl to bring in more and more people to our development. From the site visit, it was evident that locals prefer outdoor activities in the parks by the river on either side. To retain the integrity of those activities and to provide free movement from southern parks, the front area of the development is kept as an open public plaza accomodating public recreational and leisure activities.

Role

Werkstudent Softwares Revit | Rhino | Autocad | Lumion | Photoshop Learning Urban Design in Finland | City Planning Studies | Master Plan development in the City Center

I

got this opportunity to work alongside my Professor Amelie Rost on a Competition to plan the development of City Center in Espoo, Finland.

The project started by developing and understanding of the context in terms of its usage, demographics and further opportunities to enhance characteristics of Leppävaara Area.

The objectives of the design are a resource-saving use of the existing structure and the development of a resilient urban structure that can also adapt to changing conditions and requirements. The network provides a stable foundation. It is strong enough to connect the different typologies and uses and flexible enough to adapt to changing conditions.

A network of public spaces with different uses and different urban qualities is designed. The architecture and the urban space develop in dialogue.

The focus is on the public space. *Graphic created by Amelie Rost Lepuski 2.0 | 24

Movement* Design of the net of paths, alleys and connections.

Rest* Placemen to define

nt of the houses the urban spaces

2 Principles* Houses in the Definition green of squares

Concept: Weave the City - Weave Roots and Wings A network of squares and paths with different focal points of use connects and enriches the existing city. The red lines are the metaphorical “wings“.

They stand for the future and dynamics. The green lines are the metaphorical “roots“. They stand for grounding and arrival.

Stones + Wood + Green + Water * Architecturally, the building blocks are conceived as a wooden construction on a solid base. The roofs are intended as green roofs and are part of the rainwater management concept. They absorb water during heavy rainfall and release it into the sewage system at a slower rate.

Connectivity Central street and cross pathways.

Multi Use Functions enriching the existing usage with culture, startup and public buildings.

3 Zones From east to west, the network develops according to use. From south to north, the network is influenced by different speeds. After the railway line and Turuntie, the next speed stage is that of cycling, and after the new and after the noiseprotecting buildings north of Turuntie, the speed slows down and allows for walking and exploring by the pedestrian.

City windows Wherever there are views across streets from north to south, buildings with an „air floor“ create a metaphorical „window“ to the city.

T

he project was to design a farmhouse on a site located on a cliff facing the beautiful Mahi river. Design was conceptualised around the lifestyle and requirements of the client which was a family of 6 members with two kids and grandparents. Hiding in the woods, it would have been a surprise for its visitors with a subtle transition of spaces from forest side to a cliff.

The concept was to have a house which feels like a comfortable but raw enclosure in the surrounding environment.The materials chosen were rammed earth and concrete and stone.The slitted walls created a porous boundary between the house and the courtyard provided a play area for the kids. The house was designed along the topography, in three levels, providing spaces facing the river.

Vocational Training Centre Barmer, India

T

he project aimed at creating a training center for local women and men from the nearby villages of Barmer, Rajasthan. The training involves knowledge of knitting, sewing, pottery, computers and leadership to impart skills and catalyse development in the rural areas of Rajasthan.

The center is located in desert area where local stone construction is prevalent and to promote local materials and artisans, Random rubble masonry is chosed for the construction of this center. The massing of the campus was done to give a sense of homely workplace for the incoming learners with carved out courtyard in the center and a covered corridor on all sides.

The courtyard was also a congregation space for the trainers and trainees to engage together in an eventful environment. My responsibilities included creating design drawings, 3d massing, visualisations and client presentations in the first phase. Once the project was commissioned to construct, I produced construction drawings, coordinated with the structure and MEP consultants along with quanitity and cost estimates..

T

he project is aimed at creating a coworking and living hub in the city of Zeitz in Saxony Anhalt state of Germany. The site has a gradual slope of about 4 meters and is surrounded by main street and walkway. The program is developed to attract young population in Zeitz by creating career opportunities and living faciltieis.

The design is developed by segregating the floors for working and living.

The program is a part of a larger master plan which includes all kinds of working, recreational and living spaces. The building is imagined to be organic, like a growing structure adapting to the needs of its users, which is why a basic cubic geometry is adapted which would allow replication of modules in the future as the occupants grow and realise their needs.

The built mass is centralised leaving public movement and plaza spaces all around to welcome all the people from the nearby context. As one moves up to upper floors, the variety of living modules are arranged in a manner which produces green terraces and communal spaces on both inner and outer edges of the development.
