WATERFRONT TERMINAL MARCH 2015 PARTNER: PRAHASH MAYOORAN (BUILT MODEL) INSPIRED BY THE ISLAND’S STRUGGLE TO REMAIN USED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES THIS PROJECT DREW FROM THE NATURAL PRECEDENCE OF THE ARMADILLO SHELL AS A MEANS TO PROTECT THE ISLANDERS. ALONG WITH ITS UNIQUE SHAPE THAT GREATLY DICTATES THE SHAPES OF THE ROOMS, TRANSPARENCY WAS ALSO KEY IN CREATING PRIVACY, VIEWS, AND INTERIOR LIGHTING.

THE SHAPE TO PROVIDE MORE INTERIOR SPACE

CROCHETED LANDSCAPE FEBRUARY 2015 CREATED THROUGH A VARIETY OF CROCHET TECHNIQUES, THE WORK IS AN INVESTIGATION IN DEFINING LANDSCAPE THROUGH THE EXPLORATION OF MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES ACTIVATED BY THE MOVEMENT OF THE VIEWER.

11

UNTITLED/ MARCH 2015 THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS PIECE DRAWN BY BRUNO TAUT

WAS AN IMAGE

THAT CONSIDERS THE

MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE TO REORGANIZE THE HOME FOR EFFICIENCY. THIS LED TO THE OBSERVATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF MOVEMENT THROUGH ROOMS AS MIGRATORY PATHWAYS. THE TOPOGRAPHY LINES ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR FROM LIGHT TO DARK OUTLINE THESE MIGRATORY-LIKE PATHS AND THE IMAGE FROM - TAUT, BRUNO,

MOVEMENTS POTENTIAL IMPACT ON THE ROOM.

CROCHETED DOMES TO CONTEMPORARY FORM SUMMER 2015 THE INTERIOR OF DOMES FROM CHURCHES TO

OPERA

HOUSES

ARE

CONTINUOUSLY

USED FOR ORNAMENTATION. I WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THIS IN THE RE-CREATION OF DOMES AS CROCHETED MODELS. THROUGH FURTHER EXPLORATION I ALSO WANTED TO CREATE A MORE ORGANIC FORM TO SHOW THE MEDIUM COULD ALSO BE USED FOR THE

EXACT

OPPOSITE

IN

COMPARISON,

REMARKING ON THE EVOLUTION OF DESIGN. ALL MODELS STAND ON THEIR OWN ACCORD WITHOUT THE AID OF WIRES .
