Architecture is the balance between creativity and functionality, where every line we draw has the potential to enhance the way we live, breathe, and experience the world around us. After three years of studying, I’ve come to realize that it’s more than just designing buildings—it’s about shaping environments that connect deeply with both people and nature.

This wellness center provides specialized assistance for individuals with disabilities, specifically targeting those experiencing short-term memory loss. The financial ramifications of this condition, such as workplace mistrust leading to job loss and financial insecurity, are frequently underestimated. Through tailored training initiatives, the center aims to equip patients with the skills necessary to achieve financial stability and independence.
reducing unemployment among individuals with mental disabilities calls for motivation, education, and supportive spaces. My wellness center design fosters comfort and well-being, while a training center in Jakarta aims to empower disabled residents through education, promoting economic independence.

rules of wellness center
we must have a large open space, whether indoors or outdoors, so that these mental issues can fade because the spacious space makes the patient more comfortable.
openings are also very important in the rules this time because openings can accommodate solar circulation, natural light, human circulation, wind circulation which must be there because it makes mental patients comfortable and open when they are in the wellness center.
clear Spatial Organization of each room provided is also important, because it can divide private and public spaces according to the patient's needs
the given spatial typologies must adhere to a linear; centric; courtyard and cloister system. because all these typologies make the place of gather and the unity between creatures even closer.
relating design to the site's context this site provides essential support for individuals with short-term memory loss, offering a tranquil, greenery-filled environment that fosters inner peace. Its accessible location near main roads enhances convenience, making it an ideal wellness destination for patients.

final scripting result the design process I used involved scripting to establish rules and keywords aimed at achieving the desired architectural goals. This approach allowed me to generate authentic forms based on typologies that have been compared, enabling a more precise alignment with the intended building objectives.

this library’s design prioritizes natural sunlight to enhance the reading experience for all ages, inspired by the sustainable features of the Al-Bahar Tower. The adaptive facade adjusts to sunlight, providing passive cooling and a comfortable, pollution-free environment. This approach not only aligns with sustainable goals but also ensures a serene, focused space where readers can enjoy the well-being benefits of natural light.
Facade Design
Al-Bahar Tower, Abu Dhabi
sustainable features
The Al Bahar Tower is renowned for its sustainable design and innovative environmentally responsive features. The dynamic, automated shading system on its exterior adapts to the movement of the sun, minimizing heat gain and enhancing energy efficiency. This design significantly reduces the building's reliance on artificial cooling and lighting.
sustainable features
The building's facade is one of the key features that allows for control over the sunlight entering the building. The facade elements move dynamically to adjust to changes in the sun's angle, reducing excessive heat and heat radiation.
The responsive system is designed to optimize natural lighting, reduce glare, and minimize the entry of solar heat into the building. As the sun moves across the sky, the panels open and close accordingly, allowing sunlight to filter through while mitigating its negative impact on the interior.

the widespread appeal of football fuels a hidden gambling culture, especially in countries with strict anti-gambling laws like Indonesia. I propose a discreet facility that supports gambling analysis within a sports-themed space, blending a bar, mini soccer field, and viewing area to maintain an unassuming exterior.
Gambling
The gambling industry can be a significant source of revenue for both the government and the private sector in Japan. Legal gambling, such as casinos, horse racing, and sports betting, can generate substantial tax revenue for the government, which can then be used to fund infrastructure projects, public services, and social programs. The gambling industry can also create new job opportunities and provide avenues for local entrepreneurs to thrive. This includes employment in casinos, hospitality services, restaurants, and related sectors.
There are multiple sports betting platforms. Across the sports betting
industry, every platform often touting the same features and offerings. In a sea of sameness, it can be tough to differentiate from the competition. In
addition, the difference in the prices of bets and the elasticity of odds
between sites is rather negligible. Therefore, investment in brand awareness
is one of they key elements of the marketing strategy - to recruit, register and
retain active customers over time.
Issue
The issue that concerns me is understanding how the gambling analyst operates. This independent gambling analyst position emerged in early 2024. As an architect, I aim to create a conducive space and environment where they can work effectively, thereby influencing the outcomes of their analyses for the customers who engage their services.
Statement
Daily economic routines can lead to boredom, but evenings offer a break. Many residents use this time for gambling but often face losses. Creating jobs for gambling analysts could break this cycle, helping gamblers increase their wins through expert insights while providing analysts with steady income.
Japan is one of the countries that has regular work ethics

the reason the site is connected to the system a highly strategic location near the city center is ideal for hosting community moviewatching events due to the bustling surrounding residential area that supports high foot traffic. However, this popularity necessitates a more discreet approach for the gambling analyst site, as the chosen location is very busy with the surrounding environment.

BALIHO HOUSE RE-USE
The overwhelming presence of baliho waste during Jakarta's 2024 elections highlights critical environmental challenges, exacerbated by urban development and climate change. Amid this, a young vegetable vendor exemplifies a sustainable solution by cultivating and selling his produce locally, leveraging the community market's proximity. His efforts not only reduce air pollution but also inspire a shift towards sustainability, urging policymakers and citizens to prioritize waste management and environmental resilience for the future of Jakarta.
Baliho waste
Jakarta, a bustling metropolis, faces persistent challenges, including relentless flooding that endures despite changes in leadership over the years. As Indonesia approaches the 2024 elections, the city’s streets are overwhelmed by a sea of baliho waste, raising questions about its eventual disposal. This concern stems from the tendency of leaders in Indonesia to focus solely on personal ambitions for prominence while neglecting the environmental impact of the massive baliho waste left behind. My initiative to reuse these baliho reflects a personal commitment to addressing this overlooked issue and promoting sustainable practices.
main problem in Jakarta: flooding, pollution, waste
these three issues can be addressed through the field of architecture for the benefit of the residents of Jakarta and Indonesia, so everyone can enjoy the beauty of this metropolitan city with joy and happiness. The systems and methods we propose can help minimize the problems we are currently facing.

main idea : baliho
Every five years, Indonesia holds a presidential election, which always becomes a hot topic of discussion among the public. 2024 marks a political year for us, with campaign baliho for every legislative or presidential candidate displayed on every corner of Indonesia, especially in Jakarta. So, where will all this baliho waste be collected? Will it become a waste explosion for Indonesia?

cultivating + selling
this house is designed for a young entrepreneur who makes a living as a vegetable seller. The occupant grows their fresh produces right at home and sells it from his doorstep. The program eliminates the need for the occupant to rely on transportation for selling, promoting sustainability and achieving a zero-carbon footprint.
