MY P ROFIL E

INTERN

Motivated emerging architect graduating with a B.Arch and a concentration in Morphology from Pratt Institute. My work integrates computational design, AI-augmented workflows, and advanced digital fabrication to generate innovative architectural solutions. With experience ranging from large-scale urban proposals to complex geometric systems and facade systems , I bring a research-driven and highly technical approach to design. I aim to contribute to studios that value experimentation, efficiency, and next-generation design technologies. Well versed with advanced softwares such as Revit, and Grasshopper, integrated with Generative AI tools to assist in design workflows. I am seeking a role as a Junior Architect or Design technology Assistant.

ROBOT FABRICATION

ASTORIA BATHHOUSE

Queens, New York 2022

This project focuses on a modular design manipulated by various operations to create interesting forms which have program dedicated for exterior& interior. The form also allows for a seamless path of circulation through the divided space. The program is also dictated by the modules fabricated using diferent materials allowing complete freedom for the space to adapt and reuse in the future. The site also has integrated a large connecting walkway bridge making the city reach the riverfront and site with ease. The project also focuses on recycling water and returning it back into the river.

MARCY LIBRARY

Brooklyn, New York 2023

This project focuses on dividing the program into dark and light programs based on the indicated use. The dark program is kept at the core and the light program is at the perimeter surrounding it. The light program has double height spaces in order to ensure large gatherings to take place. This is achieved through the use of a continuous spiral staircase and no perpendicular common walls. This allows natural flow of air and movement, with more larger spaces on the floor. The slabs are placed slanted and are pinned together due to the program requirement of auditorium seating. The structure builds upon the existing building and doesn’t remove the history and context of the place. The facade of the building also allows flexibility and adds dynamic moments for the user.

The facade of the building is a system of small individual aluminum sheets connected on a single vertical rod. These sheets are colored diferently on both sides, and are angled at varied degrees per rod module. This system when repeated creates an illusions for the viewers of the building moving, which staying completely static. The same facade system provides shading from harsh sunlight and creates dynamic shadows in spaces. At night the same facade acts as a lamp shade and allows the building to shine and standout within its surroundings.

PUBLIC MARKET

Manhattan, New York 2023

This project looks at creating a public marker and a place for gathering for all through its simple easy layout and dedicated program. The market in this building is highlighted using an organic ETFE roof which allows for direct sunlight and controls the wind as well. The roof is adjacent to the second floor creating an unique experience for people to utilize the roof garden to look down into the market. The parametric brick rain screen as part of the facade allows wind to circulate and controls light through BIM and sofwares.

The layout of the programs is planned according to a central axis which goes along till the central node which acts as the main entry point of the building. This system allows for all programs to be equidistant and the suer is able to get directly straight into their desired use of the building without any waste of time. This allows the market to act as a place for resting and spending time as well as a place which can be transited through. The market within itself is kept adjacent to the kitchen and event space allowing this trinity to work in tandem and allowing smooth flow between these spaces. The market has an internal layout which is derived from the roof column grid, dictating the placement of the stalls as well. This creates yet another grid like axial formation with no interruptions in movement due to the columns being integrated within permanent structures freeing up the aisles. The classrooms have be shifed on the floor above to allow privacy and enjoy a better view of the city. The roof also contains a cafe/restaurant for enjoying the city view.

These are series of detailed Construction Documents created for this project. There are facade, details Windows and Door Schedules, Tags, and Wall sections. These are all created using Revit on ACC. These drawings give a clear layout and also give clarity in terms of the building program and space. The bathrooms are designed to be ADA compliant, as well as the staircase. There is also the calculation of the wind and solar energy of the building and its performance.

RESIDENTIAL HOUSING

Brooklyn, New York 2024

This mixed use residential building focuses on having a minimal massing and a single spine which has ribboned balconies going across its length and use the angled

geometry to ensure every unit in the building gets great views of the Lafayette Gardens. The units are arranged in a manner to maximise the drawing space and common areas to ensure larger spaces for gathering. The internal courtyard of the building is compeltely open to air and allows for air to criculate through the building while also giving privacy due to its orientation.

The facade of the building has an unique manually foldable perforated metal panels, which allow the users to control shading and wind circulation into their units. This also allows for the large balconies to have controlled growth in their garden plants.

The building sections also reveal large outdoor spaces at the back which are private and large enough for the buildings west end to get enough air and sunlight. This possible due to an array of large columns transferring load from the top levels. The basement also shows a denser column gird layout for the cars.

ROBOT FABRICATION

Prof. Greg Sheward

This project focuses on the use of experimental and advanced methods of fabrication to generate forms which are unique and intriguing. These sculptures are created while looking into minimal surfaces and multi-pipe operations to create SUBD volumes which are easily then broken down into individual pieces. The project looks at the form as an alien to evolve from its initial from in captivity to later being corrupted and growing out of control as seen through the black gradient.

The object is captured in a way which showcases its dynamic nature and how it has been created using various parts and elements to create one homogeneous form. The soothing gradient has been achieved through the use of carbon infused into the PLA and then controlled with various concentrations to get this aesthetic. The final form has evolved and uses epoxy as an adhesive and custom made joints to create direct and easy contact between the surfaces. The entire structure is broken down into pieces which are placed normal to the robot as it is printed without the use of supports.

CONTAINER PROJECT

The shipping container has been utilized in diferent method to manipulate spaces. It has been operated on itself to cut, open, bend, and rotate to create adaptable modules. The system lies on a simple space frame of columns and beams which act as the basic framework. The facade of the building is set to be changing overtime and be in contrast with the historic urban fabric of the city. The modules act as circulation and get the people of the city to connect back to the city. The modules create open air courtyards which allow further larger gatherings to take place. This aggregation currently showcases the containers in a formation for a museum, which focuses on maximized views of the Tiber Island, and capturing artwork within its space. The shipping container showcases how there can be a sustainable solution to the con-justed and inefcient Lungotevre highway next t the river edge. The modules are pinned to the embankment wall with minimal footprint allowing it to be easy to install and dismantle overtime with the city.

Storyboarding programs and modules with circulation and viewing spaces, transforming a box with diferent glass and windows. Showing a city within the city.
