Circulation Diagram

Journey to Self celebrates the process of finding oneself after a traumatic experience and for some, without traumatic experiences. By exploring the physical, environmental and psychological aspect, one is able to come to a place of reconciliation with self. The building lends itself to this form, while placing programs in support of this philosophy.

Program Form Development

Multipurpose Hall

In finding oneself back again, one must explore the three main life aspects to understand it on a personal level. This include the Environmental, Physical and Spiritual/Psychological.

NATIONAL COMPETITION

Three-Bedroom Residential Home with Office

Working as a team, effective collaboration was applied to attain a winning place on this National competition. I proposed sustanable design idea solutions to tackle the design challenge we encountered. Astute daylight strategies were implemented to maximize energy utilization.

“Everything we design is a response to the specific climate and culture of a particular place”.

In the context of this project, daylighting was a challenge. Technological, smart and sustainable solutions were applied to solve this challenge.

COMPUTATIONAL PARAMETRIC 3D PRINTING

Ceramic Clay Printing

S O F T W A R E RHINOCEROS, GRASSHOPPER, ADOBE SUITE

Ceramic skins studies the manipulation of grasshopper in Rhino to create parametric skins for 3D printed clay. For this project, png vector images of patterns were inputted into grasshopper to create patterns on the skin of the the column. By modifying domains of protrusions and depressions on the skin while avoiding form intersections, a neat form, single polyline of the form and a gcode was produced for 3d printing of the object.
