POLYNESIAN STORAGE MUSEUM
Project Type: Personal Project
Context:
As we react against natural disasters we’ve been seeking for the latest and most functional technologies. Through this process we’ve been desensitized of the loss of culture and history. The islands in Polynesia are accurate examples of this occurrence where they face a constant threat of sea level rising, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and etc. Therefore, less established countries in Polynesia seek for functional rubber stamped buildings to keep them safe, rather than their sacred structures and spaces. Islands like the Cook Island, Niue and Tokelau are already under its realm where New- Zealand functions as a head of state and gives support when they are in need. New Zealand is able to take responsibility to help maintain the -
culture of other islands through a symbolic skyscraper to raise the awareness of loss in Polynesian culture which can hold the history and crafts of other islands while exhibiting to the public.
The main body of the Skyscraper takes form of a New- Zealand version of a canoe called the “Waka” (Māori War canoe) and along its back, different sizes of upside down canoe shaped structures are cantilevered out creating an image of a Waka carrying other Polynesian canoes. The cantilevered canoes points towards south for this was the way that Polynesian people found their ways to navigate and not to get lost by identifying the Southern Cross.

NIUEAN CULTURAL CENTER
Project Type: Graduation Project
Context:
The project sits on a historically significant site “Cooks Landing” in Niue where James Cook landed and had the first ever interaction with the Niueans. The island is completely made of coral therefore; the challenge of this project was to react to this organic material while appreciating the undulating landscape.
The Three Men Vaka is a fishing boat which portrays the detailed craftsmanship of Niue. Vaka is a fishing boat that is commonly used in Niue. The Three Men Vaka is used to fish further out sea. However, this craft is no longer made or available due the importation of motor boats. To establish a cultural symbol on a historic site, the cultural
centre takes form of this lost craft. The body of the building points towards Samoa which is their primary cultural influence while the roof top is perpendicular to Tonga which is also one of their cultural influences. Therefore, when people walk along the building they get to appreciate both cultures. The outrigger of the building points towards New Zealand to appreciate their guidance over Niue for the outrigger of the Vaka is also a safety feature.

CHILDREN’S HOUSE IN SENEGAL
Project Type: Personal Project
Context:
The main goal of this project was to create a space that indulges a “Sense of Belonging” to the kids so they can easily approach the space and get the necessary treatment they deserve. The search for a space that reflects a welcoming atmosphere started from understanding the idea of a “sense of belonging” in playgrounds. Due to completely exposed and transparent nature of playgrounds the kids feel safe and easily approach the space. To translate this architectural language to the project, first, the site was observed.
The site is an empty area in the village of Baghere, senegal. On the North and West side of the site, there are streets parallel to the sides of the site, joining at the north
west corner. In order for the building to have complete exposure from both streets, each function within the building were laid out one by one at a 45 degrees angle at the point where the two streets meet. By doing so, the building was completely exposed where ever the person was standing. Then, three evenly spread out openings were introduced throughout the building. By doing so, it clearly differentiates each function within the building where the kids know exactly know what each mach mass is for. The openings unhide the spaces behind to assure safety and suggest the building to be used as another path to cut through the field to get to the opposite street.

DESERT HOUSE
Project Type: Personal Project
Context:
The beautiful desert landscape of Dubai doesn’t get enough attention it deserves amongst the rich culture and the world-renowned cityscape. This project aims to pay tribute to the desert’s profound influence on Dubai’s heritage and contemporary identity. The design blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings by drawing inspiration from the desert’s undulating dunes and the ever-changing play of light.
Beyond aesthetics, the architecture orchestrates a dynamic experience, blurring boundaries between indoors and outdoors at the core of the design. The design attempts to revive the aesthetic of the natural landscape it has taken
over with its desert like form. As the project grows into an urban scale, the overall aesthetic becomes the Arabian Desert rather than a contemporary village.
Considering the cost-effectiveness, this project is executed using a skeleton framing technique with steel. Notably, the 3 masses are independent with their own separate steel framing structure, allowing for a potential modular expansion approach for future enhancements.
A “House of the Future” should reflect future endeavors and achievements while appreciating the characteristics of the city’s origin.

the building process and enhances the construction’s complexity. To replace this traditional wall construction method, PVC-Coated Polyester is used to create two Pneumatic Membranes covering three sides of the building along with Kingspan’s Insulated Wall Panel.
The one hard wall in the building is constructed with Kingspan’s Quad Core LEC Insulated Wall Panel, which
The Pneumatic Membrane is an inflated structure made from PVC-Coated Polyester commonly seen in giant pool inflatables and bouncy castles. The lightweight and bendable property of the wall allows the user to easily reveal and hide large areas with ease, giving complete control over the level of privacy.
