ROFIL E

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.

PROJECT INDEX

ASTORIA BATHHOUSE

Queens, New York 2022

wood- for shading glass- for sunlight

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 di erent 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

continuous circulation without interruptions

outside open to air

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.

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 so wares.

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 maximize the drawing space and common areas to ensure larger spaces for gathering. The internal courtyard of the building is completely open to air and allows for air to circulate through the building while also giving privacy due to its orientation. The building also manages to setback and invite the public and give back the sidewalk to the people in the area.

ROBOT FABRICATION

CONTAINER PROJECT

The shipping container has been utilized in di erent 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 ine cient 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 di erent glass and window openings.
