This project required strong coordination with national and global firms, suppliers, manufacturers, and vendors.

This offered fantastic firsthand learning opportunities about construction management, client management, design iteration in ongoing construction, budget and time management, and the skill of strategic decision making.

The challenge of this project was to develop design based on the reusability of the material from the previous project of this client. Also, there was a prime concern about giving the home a contemporary look that fits within the allocated budget. One side of the site has ‘zero lot’ coverage which was another interesting factor while designing.

The community foodbank in Seattle’s Rainer Beach Neighborhood, a 18450 sqft three-story building, aims to combat food scarcity and promote social interactions. It embraces dignity and empathy, transforming the area into a vibrant communal hub with a strong focus on accessibility. The project also connects with adjacent affordable housing and integrates efficient water and clean energy systems, resulting in a remarkable 63% reduction in carbon emissions.

This project is located on the east side of Copenhagen’s Foxtail Island. Historically, this island was a shipyard and now reflects the colors and cultures of the people. To preserve the unique character and industrial past, this project studies and explores design strategies to balance between not losing the essence of the building and sustainable transformation of spaces for new programs.

Income Generating Habitat for the Climate Refugees of Ethnic Culture Program used: Archi-CAD, sktchup, Photoshop Winter 18: B.Arch Supervisor: Shayer Ghafur, Simita Roy

Academic

The project acknowledges the conflict between ethnic vernacular housing practice and the stereotype of rural housing, excluding socio-cultural aspects related to the Santali tradition and belief system. The master plan is divided into four scales: adobe, cluster, community, and territory, which are to be built with the local materials: mud, bamboo, brick in the foundation, linseed oil, and rope buttress to strengthen the mud plaster. A local belief is that expansive windows allow a negative omen, so a mud panel with patterns derived from the Alpona for spiritual worship is used instead. There is design flexibility for further extension with lightweight enclosures. This design proposal adds minimum interventions to avoid the juxtaposition of different elements and keep the prominent ethnic features dominant.

Academic

Located at the southeast corner of Rainier Avenue South and South Henderson Street intersection, the proposed residential and commercial mixed-use building is a new development responding to the new NC3-55 zoning recently implemented in central Rainier Beach. Reflecting the “2014 Neighborhood Plan” strategies, the project integrates with the existing street network and provides improved pedestrian infrastructure for the Rainier Beach Urban Village community. Breaking the homogeneity of the monotonous streets, the proposal also facilitates economic growth by promoting diversified local businesses where “strangers become an enormous asset on the street for public safety.”_ Jane Jacob

Computation in architecture

Writen by Jarin tasnim khan The code can make over 100 forms of iterations in less than 15 minutes. It studies the basic geometry of a circle and the possibility of having multiple variations in all the axes. These forms can be used as a surrogate model to train machines to predict design decisions with complex forms. This coding is also a prototype development for the upcoming AI/ML in Built Environment research studio (Spring 24).

Photography and Film-Making I believe that both photography and filmmaking serve as more expressive tools where words often fail to adequately convey emotions, feelings, and unique perspectives.

42

Happiness of Making My explorative nature drives me to play with various materials and techniques, allows to appreciate diverse approaches to the art of happiness in making something. Whether it’s crafting a 3D printed earring or designing a plaster cast to preserve and display dried flowers.
