Architectural Portfolio

I HAVE EXPOSURE TO AN ARRAY OF DESIGN PROJECTS, FOR MANY TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL APPROACHES, UTILISING MY SKILL IN LATEST PLATFORMS OF TECHNOLOGY. EXPLORING, LEARNING AND EXPANDING MY SKILLS AND APPROACH TO ARCHITECTURE IS AN ENDLESS BOUND, YET I WILL ALWAYS PUSH FORWARD.

- LE CORBUSIER

“ARCHITECTURE IS THE LEARNED GAME, CORRECT AND MAGNIFICENT, OF FORMS ASSEMBLED IN THE LIGHT.”

IMPLEMENATION OF SUSTAINABLE AND INNOVATIVE METHODS IN MY PROJECT INVOLVEMENT IS A STRONG PASSION OF MINE, WHILST CREATING IMPRESSIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR CLIENTS WITH COMPREHENSIVE DRAWING OUTPUT.

“AS AN ARCHITECT, YOU DESIGN FOR THE PRESENT, WITH AN AWARENESS OF THE PAST, FOR A FUTURE WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY UNKNOWN.” - NORMAN FOSTER

AN ENERGETIC AND EXPERIENCED ARCHITECTURAL GRADUATE FROM DEAKIN UNIVERSITY WHO STRIVES TO DO HER BEST IN THE REALM OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, WITH RESPECT FOR THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND CONTEXT OF SITE.

HALL OF KNOWLEDGE BUILDING THE UNBUILT: ADAPTATION AND CONTINUATION OF LE CORBUSIER’S VISION FOR CHANDIGARH - MY HOME CITY - WAS MY MASTERCLASS PROJECT. INCORPORATING CORBUSIER’S APPROACH OF SIFTING ARCHITECTURE IN BASIC FUNCTIONS AND REBIRTHING IT BACK BASED ON HIS PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN WAS FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO HARMONISE THE EXISTING CONCRETE SCULPT -URISM OF CAPITOL COMPLEX WITH CONSIDERATION OF MODERN DAY.

BOTANICA

AN INT INTERLACING OF PUBLIC, SEMI-PUBLIC, AND PRIVATE WORK SPACES WITH A FOCUS ON EDUCATION AND RESEARCH OF BOTANY. BALANCE AND RHYTHM OF THE RESE SPACIAL NEEDS FOR DEPARTMENT’S AND PEDESTRIAN SPAC MOVEMENT INNEXTRICABLY LINKS THE FORM AND MOVE FUNC FUNCTION.

ELASTICA ELASTICA WAS MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL PROJECT INVOLVEMENT AS A TRAINEE ARCHITECT. MY INVOLVEMENT IN THIS HIGH-END HOUSE WAS DESIGNING AND ADAPTING THE STAIRCASE AND SKYLIGHT TO COMPLIMENT THE EXISTING ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH, AND ACHIEVE POETIC DERIVATION IN THE FORM. THE IDEA WAS TO FREEZE A FLUID MOTION IN PLACE AND ENCAPSULATE THE ORGANIC ARCHITECTURAL POSSIBILTIES.

LAW FIRM HOME OFFICE

A RECENT FREELANCE PROJECT OF MINE FOR A CLIENT’S LAW FIRM HOME OFFICE IN INDIA. ALTHOUGH THE WORK WAS DONE REMOTELY ON MY BEHALF, I WAS ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY CONSULT & MEET WITH THE CLIENT TO REACH THEIR OFFICE REQUIREMENTS AND HELP GUIDE THEM TO THE BEST DESIGN OUTCOMES AND USAGE OF THE SPACE. AS A REGISTERED ARCHITECT IN INDIA, I WAS ABLE TO SIGN OFF THE PROJECT AND GUIDED THE CON -STRUCTION TEAM ON HOW TO APPROACH AND COMPLETE CERTAIN DESIGN ASPECTS

HOUSE FOR A DRUMMER THE TASK FOR THIS PROJECT ENTAILED REDESIGNING AN EXISTING HOME AND SIGNIFICANTLY ADAPT THE TYPOLOGY AND DRAWINGS TO ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION METHOD AND MATERIAL. DUE TO MY KEEN INTEREST IN RAMMED EARTH, I SPENT MUCH TIME STUDYING THE MATERIAL TO ENSURE I COULD BESTACHIEVE A COMPLETE AND REALISTIC REDESIGN AND SUBSEQUENT DETAILED DRAWING SE SET TO SUBMIT.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE WORKING DRAWING DOCUMENTION I HAVE DONE FOR ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS HAS INVOLVED ME IN DETAILED DRAWINGS ON A RANGE OF PROGRAMS, FOR NEW BUILDS, FIT-OUT/ REFURBISHMENT AND DEMOLITION. PREPARATION OF DOCUMENTS AS WELL AS ALL THE CONTENT REQUIRED FOR A SUCCESS OF A BUILDINGBEING CONSTRUCTED. KEEPING AN ‘ALWAYS READY TO LEARN’ APPROACH, I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO GET ON TOP OF MY DUTIES AND MANGE TIME. THIS WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME GET USED TO LEARN THE APPLICATION OF BCA AND RES-CODES VICTORIA AND HOW I CAN LEARN THE ART OFGOOD PRESENTATION DRAWINGS USING SOFTWARE TOOLS.

SKETCHING

MODEL MAKING I BELIEVE SKETCHING, MODEL MAKING AND PHOTOGRAPHY ARE BEAUTIFUL WAYS OF EXPRESSING MY PASSION FOR CREATIVITY IN SIMILAR YET ALTERNATE WAYS TO ARCHITECTURE, AND SUPPORT MY ABILITY TO FRAME VIEWS, MOODS OR SPACES, CONVEY WHAT I FEEL A SPACE WILL BE LIKE, AND EVEN JUST TO EMPHASISE THE KEY ASPECTS OF A A FUNCTION OR SUBJECT. I LOVE TO KEEP LIFE BREATHING INTO THESE AREAS AS I KNOW MANY OPT PURELY FOR TECHNOLOGICAL BOOSTS AND WAYS OF DESIGN AND PRESENTATION. QUICKLY HAND SKETCHING MY IDEAS FOR A CLIENT, AND BUILDING MODELS TO CONVEY HOW A BUILDING CAN BE EXPERIENCED IN REAL-TIME IS VERY SATISFYING. FRAMING AND CAPTURING THE BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT PROVIDES ME WITH AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF RESPECT AND UNDERTSNADING OF CONTEXT.
