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 to incorporate more than photo voltaic panels on my roof. I wanted to look at more ways of harenessing and producing energy to balance out energy needs of high rise structure as much possible.
Concept: Venturi Effect

Bike-HikeManhattan , NY

Name: Crowd-sourcing the city: Bike-HikeLocation: 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 York city, I decided to use the blank 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 Yorkers, three major problems where identified:
a) Bike parkingb) Cars in the bike lanesc) Pedestrian-bike crashes
The three problems were a major concern in NYC and were the top reasons for ‘not using the bike’ in the city.

National Soccer Stadium, Qatar
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 born

Name of the project: National Soccer StadiumLocation: Doha, QatarProposing Authority: Qatar Football AssociationSite 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 always curios about the spatial arrangements of the empowering stadiums. They always fascinated me due the fact that stadiums is just one single structure and it handles people of different hierarchy. I was all the more amused when I did my case studies and actually had a chance to see the VIP area of the stadiums, the lavish restaurants, the suites, etc. I put my heart and soul into this project and I know I am capable of something even better than this.
