Hydrology HousingSynopsis

Olbia, with its rich history and beautiful landscape is a city situated in the Olbian basin on the island of Sardinia. The city, with its five rivers, has a history of the cult of water. Water has been a precious commodity on the island, and throughout Sardinia’s history, water has been worshiped and stored. In its current state, the city has become a generic place, acting as a transient city for the Gallura region and Sardinia. The city swells in numbers during the tourist summer season, putting great pressure on an already strained hydro-infrastructure.

The problematic is the stasis the city find itself under at the moment.

Currently, the hydrological infrastructure is severely inefficient in delivering the water available to the masses. The thesis aims to deal with the situation of a growing population and the need to house its inhabitants. The situation also concerns itself with the demand and the supply of water. Through this thesis, I am to investigate the impact of building within a flood plain and the social implications of such conditions.

The thesis will deal with the flood and drought, the seasonal changes in the water-scape and creating a room for the river. The purpose of this is to create a greater connection between the city and the river, Rio Seligheddu, bringing both closer to each other. Through the relevant intervention in the city, the thesis proposes to appropriate the floodplain landscape while also creating a new pattern for the city fabric. The project will become a means of measure and volume on both the metropolitan and the body scale.

Ultimate RelaxationBrief:

A design competition to redevelop the former Taichung International Airport and its vicinities. The aim of the project was to create a vast green belt within the city, punctuated by activities local to the area. These included a velodrome, aviary and waterfront dining areas.We propose a park that is the Ulitmate Relaxation, a park designed to amplify the experience of relaxation by setting up conditions that will allow multiple modes and interpretations of the term to colonize the void left by the relocation of the Taichung Airport.Relaxation is a form of liberation through which we shed muscular tension, emotional stress and cultural anxiety. In composing a new choreography for the runway, we create a comprehensive sequence of experiences that are drawn from the many forms of relaxation prominent in Taichung and overlay them onto a system of functional ecologies to create a robust and multifunctional urban infrastructure.

In collaboration with Zenobia Meckley, Samson Chua, Tom Lindsay, Katie Hotchkiss

Temenos HouseBrief:

Design a residential bungalow for a couple from Mumbai. The site for the project is located in the southern state of India, Tamil Nadu. The concept of the design is based on the ancient Greek architecture of temple building, where Temenos means ‘sacred land’. The building emerges from the land underneath. The site itself is a gentle hill, with the building placed on the plateau at its apex.

Carrying out my work placement at ArchitectureBRIO allowed me enough time frame to work on this single project, from the concept stage up to the detailing Tender/Working drawing stage. The range of experience I have gained from my time in Mumbai varies from studio based design to visiting/surveying the site and eventually supervising the lineout of Temenos House.

In collaboration with Robert Verrijt and Shefali Balwani
