Green High Rise, ON



Name: Green High Rise

Location: Niagra Falls, ON, Canada

This project was a aprt of my graduate level studio. I wanted toincorporate more than photo voltaic panels on my roof. I wanted to

look at more ways of harenessing and producing energy to balance outas much possible the energy needs of high rise structure.

Concept: Venturi Effect

Name: Crowd-sourcing the city: Bike-Hike

Location: Manhattan, NY

This was a project done in my final semester of graduate studio. The

topic of the studio was crowd-sourcing the city, where we had to gather

information from the crowd and give our design solution back to them.

Hence while surveying new yorkers and studying the new yorck city, ideceided to use the blanck walls of the city and design around them.

Concept: To promote bike usage and make use of unutilized spaces

12

When surveying and interviewing new yourkers, three major problems

where identifed:

a) Bike parking

b) Cars in the bike lanes

c) Pdestrian-bike crashes

The three problems was a major concern in nyc and were the top

reasons for ‘not using the bike’ in the city.

Stadia are the new cathedrals of our age, where communities come together with common purpose and depart with

memories shared and stories to tell of the legends born19



Name of the project: National Soccer Stadium

Location: Doha, Qatar

Proposing Authority: Qatar Football Association

Site Area: 90 Acre

This project was done in my tenth semester of five year Architecture

degree. We had to choose our projects. I chose this, as I was alwayscurios about the spatial arrangements of the empowering stadiums.

They always facinated me due the fact that stadiums is just one single

structure and it handles people of different hierarchy. I was all the moreamused when I did my case studies and actually had a chance to see

the VIP area of the stadiums, the lavish restaurants, the Suits, etc. I putmy heart and soul into this project and I know I am capable of something

even better than this.
