AMPHIBIOUS REDHOOK : A SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN LAND AND WATER
Team :- Hira Bawahab
Course :-M.S. Urban Design
Instructors:-Jonas Coersmeier
Year/ Semester of Work :-1st Semester
Institute:-Pratt Institute
Project Location:-Red Hook, Brooklyn
In the year 2100, following the global temperature rise exceeding 2°C, New York City faces a sea level rise of over six feet. This dramatic change has resulted in the emergence of numerous islands, creating a new shoreline that intertwines with the historic, pre-industrial Red Hook, erasing traditional distinctions between land and water.
**Amphibious Red Hook** investigates a phased strategic reorganization of these emerging and proposed islands, incorporating soft defense mechanisms, amphibious structures, and adaptive strategies for living with rising waters. This project aims to redefine the relationship between land and water, establishing a new paradigm for urban activity that seamlessly integrates both environments.
The design envisions a dynamic network of connections among the emerging islands and proposed landforms, reflecting New York City’s maritime heritage and ferry networks. This approach not only reconnects Red Hook’s past with its climate-affected future but also adapts urban infrastructure to the evolving waterfront landscape.

Urban Kaleidoscope delves into the metaphorical interplay between urban design and the conceptualization of the city with a transformative objective: to fundamentally alter both the experience and conception of urban environments. This initiative aims to establish a new paradigm by integrating two coexisting forms, offering a radical shift in urban design.
At its core, Urban Kaleidoscope examines the intricate relationships between urban realities and the urban fabric, emphasizing the interconnectedness of public and private spaces. The design introduces voids as dynamic, transitional spaces that bridge these realities, serving as interfaces between diverse urban experiences.
This innovative approach does not adhere to a fixed form but rather proposes a flexible framework that encourages new modes of thinking about urban design. It serves as a universal structure that adapts to various disciplines and functions within the cityscape.
The project’s layered strategy features multiple ground levels and diverse functions, strategically positioned at different elevations to create a multi-dimensional urban experience. This approach not only enhances functionality but also enriches the spatial narrative of the city, setting a precedent for future urban development.

SO MUCH MORE TO WINE
Course :- Bachelors of Architecture
Instructors:- Sunil Magdum
Year/ Semester of Work :- Semester 10
Institute:- Dr. Baliram Hiray College of Architecture
Project Location:- Theni District, Tamil Nadu , India
Other Info:- Thesis
This project envisions the creation of an innovative winery within the picturesque Cumbum Valley of Theni District, Tamil Nadu. The goal is to enhance the region’s social and economic fabric while seamlessly integrating cultural functions and attracting tourism to this distinctive landscape. Strategically situated as a gateway between Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Theni offers a unique opportunity to design a space that harmoniously bridges the natural environment with built forms.
The project seeks to establish a creative and immersive ambiance amidst the vineyards of Cumbum Valley. By minimizing the impact on the natural landscape and fostering a harmonious relationship between architecture and nature, we aim to craft spaces that promote rural viticultural tourism. This design will not only enrich the local character but also serve as a focal point for visitors, celebrating the region’s viticultural heritage and natural beauty.
FLOW:
THIS PART OF THE CONCEPT COVERS THE IMPORTANCE OF WINE FLOW DURING THE WINE PRODUCTION, GRAVITY FLOW AS A TRADITIONAL PRINCIPLE, AND DIFFERENT FLOW OF TOURISTS, LOCAL AND EMPLOYEES IN THE WINERY
GRID:
THIS PART OF THE CONCEPT INCLUDES BOTH INSPIRATION FROM ROWS OF VINEYARDS AND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF A SRUCTURAL GRID IS NECESSARY FOR EFFICIENT MANIPULATION IN THE WINE PRODUCTION AREAS
CONTRAST:
THIS PART OF THE CONCEPT REPRESENTS THE RELATION BETWEEN THE STRICT WINE PRODUCTION AND HUMAN SCALED VISITOR ORIENTED PART. THE TRANSITION IS CREATED BETWEEN THOSE TWO TO SMOOTHLY CONNECT THEM IN ONE WHOLE.
