RESUME
GOAL
To seek a professional experience where I can apply my extensive design skills by bringing back small yet insightful thoughts into project designs. And to represent a story behind each design while being exposed to the professional industry.
Learned and created feasibility analysis, proposal drawings, permit set applications, neighborhood and client presentations. Started working on multiple new projects with other teammates and was in charge of doing the proposed plans, elevations and sending the permit sets to the clients for approval. Projects ranged from small scale housings to large urban projects as well as in different phases of design.
In charge of the design of the worldwide expositions where the company introduces its products. Took responsibility of the organization of the booths by proposing drawings of what could the space be.
Istanbul Tower 205_SOM Architects, Experienced the environment of a large scale project and observed meetings between the firm and contractors, and asking questions. Assisted with the organization of floor plans and gained a better understanding of the overall thought process of planning and design a high rise building.

The boatbay utilizes a dynamic building skin which translates the time-lapse motion of the waves of the river into an architectural form, providing visual interest by occurring in the building in different scales. The dynamic of the influenced movement alters the shape of the building and its relation to the surrounding landscape. The building plan is heavily influenced by the flowing movement of the grid, resulting in a radially organized structural grid. The boathouse is dually oriented toward the river which follows the curving spine of the it, connecting the users to the water.

THOTCHKE PLATE FACTORY: Exploration of Double Void Space
Spring 2022
The core intent of the Tchotchke Plate Factory is to act as a vessel which creates a connection between the voids interacting with other programs and the tertiary spaces formed as an outcome of this. It is designed for manufacturing tchotchkes plates, a limited collection every month with prints on top designed by renowned artists. The factory invites people to engage with the screen printing process of the manufacturing plates while providing a vast outdoor terrace and courtyard that introduce a welcoming sense of space and light that can flow through the factory. In the structural concept, the voids blur the boundary of interior-exterior spaces, enabling the creation of a field of vision in the whole form. While these voids act as courtyards, they also configure the factory’s workflow. The grand production happens on the first floor, while other floors serve for more social interaction with its screen printing workshop and gallery space.

PLAYSCAPE: Adaptable Re-use
Collabrator: Aanya Arora
Considering the 420,000 children in foster care in the United States, the project proposes a new way of living in West End, Providence, evaluating the need to learn and interact of the children in Rhode Island. Playscape adaptively reuses the existing mill building on the site. The mill is currently built on a grid plan with equally spaced columns inside. The play landscape incorporates a system of curved lines that either obey or resist the existing grid system according to the program. The responsive system of curves dictates the circulation of the space and creates a dynamic child-friendly environment.
OYSTER HOUSE
Spring 2023
Designed as a series of Oystercrete monoliths that push the boundaries of monumental architecture across various scales, the project investigates how these Oystercrete monoliths can redefine the concept of monumental architecture through their distinctive materiality, embracing the material’s inherent qualities, exploring its visual and tactile potential to evoke a strong sense of connection, scale, and depth. What unique experiences can arise when these monoliths are spaced further apart? How do they interlock and interact with each other?
The project establishes a harmonious relationship between the oystercrete monoliths and the surrounding landscape, forging an intimate bond with the environment. It enables visitors to witness the production process, bridging the gap between consumption and production spaces, and inviting them to appreciate the intrinsic connection between architecture and materiality. With the same effort, the movement of people exploring these structures involves time and scale, so the interactive connection with the membrane of
