01. INTEGRATED COMPRENHENSIVE

DESIGN

The project, located in New York City’s West Harlem District 9, is a hybrid facility combining advanced HVAC infrastructure with a vibrant university cultural center. It features a main auditorium, performance spaces, a digital archives library, classrooms, exhibition areas, and a retail/coffee shop, alongside essential support spaces like storage, public bathrooms, and circulation areas. The HVAC components include cooling towers, chillers, mechanical and electrical closets, loading zones, and service elevators, seamlessly integrated with fire-rated stairs and elevators for safety. This facility is designed to foster cultural engagement,

Savannah, GA

Located in Savannah, Georgia, “The BookCase House” reimagines traditional design by using the bookcase as the central organizing element. Books transform the architecture, defining rooms and living spaces while blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. This innovative design creates a harmonious relationship between the inhabitants, their environment, and their love for literature.

The Stacked Books Building is inspired by the simple yet powerful idea of stacking books, with each volume representing a unique space in the building. The design showcases a grid system that emerges from the stacking concept, which helps to organize and connect the different areas within the structure. The building’s exterior highlights the special bond between people and books, similar to how we connect with stories and ideas when we read. This easy-to-understand design concept brings the beauty of books and their connection to people to life in a modern, visually appealing structure. Design 6 -

04. NEURO NEXUS

My project draws inspiration from the dynamic nature of neural networks, where interconnected neurons communicate through adaptable synaptic connections. This adaptability, known as neuroplasticity, enables learning and evolution in response to new experiences. Reflecting this concept in architecture, I employ a system of interconnected nodes and links, designed through parametric methods to mirror the complexity and fluidity of neural networks. The intention is to create a physical representation of these intricate connections, translating the essence of neural adaptability into architectural form.
