Hi! My portfolio here gives a brief review of my work, both in the academic and professional environment. The portfolio begins to talk about two of my works, both done at the graduate level. Followed by a project done at undraguate level. Then a new chapter gives a brief insight of my work done as an intern.

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

THE FUNNELING EFFECT
THE FORM OF THE THE BUILDING IS DERIVED FROM THE TWO MAJOR FUNCTIONS THE PURPOSE THE BUILDING IS SERVING:a> POWER GENERATION BY THE USED OF VENTURI EFFECT, HENCE FUNNELING THE SHAPE OF THE BUILDING TOWARDS THE WIND WARD SIDE.b> VIEWS TOWARDS THE NIAGARA FALLS HELPS IN GIVING THE CONCAVE SHAPE OF THE BUILDING. IT HELPS IN EXPANDINGTHE VIEWS TO A LARGER AREA AND FROM AS MANY ROOMS AS POSSIBLE.
THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING ARE STEPPED TO ACCOMODATE ROOF GARDENS.
THE ENTIRE BUILDING IS DIVIDED INTO TWO BASIC FUNCTIONS: a> HOTELb> RESIDENTIAL THE SITE PERFECTLY CALLS FOR A HOTEL PROGRAM BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION AND PERFECT POSITION WITH A VIEW OF NIAGARA FALLS IN THE FRONT. THE HOTELS IS 75% OF THE BUILDING AND THE REST IF RESIDENTIAL. THE RESIDENTIALWILL MAINLY HAVE PENT HOUSES GIVEN ITS TOP POSITION AND UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF THE FALLS.

WIND PATTERN
WHEN THE WIND STRIKES THE SURFACE OF THE BUILDING FROM THE WINDWARD SIDE, IT CREATES A WHIRLPOOL AROUND THE BUILDING CAUSING THE LINEAR WIND CURRENT TO CHANGE TO TURBULENT OR EDDY CURRENT IN CERTAIN CASES. WHICH BECOMES A MOJOR PROBLEM FOR THE USERS OF THE BUILDING STANDING OUTSIDE.
THE WIND CHANGES ITS PATH TO CIRCULATE AROUND THE BUIDLING AND TRAVELS STRAIGHT DOWN CREATING A NEGATIVE PRESSURE ZONE AT THE BASE OF THE BUILDING. IT BEACOMES VRY IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF BARRIER FOR THE USERS ENTRYING AND EXITING THE BUILDING. HENCE A PODIUM AT THE BASE OF THE BUILDING HELPS USERS BY PROTECTING THEM FROM THE TURBULENT WIND CURRENT.

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 Doha, 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.

I interned with SOM in the year 2010 for a period of 11 weeks with the team headed by Mr. Aybars Asci. I worked initially on the production of renderings and producing presentation drawings for the competition project Qingdao. I then worked on the making of study models for Al Rajhi Bank Headquarters. Later I worked on the renderings and presentation drawings of Jeddah Cornich Tower. The last part of my internship was the LG headquarters project. I worked on the it from the conceptual stage to the initial design development of the project (Site plan, parking layout and furniture arrangements).

I worked with SOM in the year 2008 for a period of 6 weeks with the team headed by Mr. Aybars Asci. I worked initially on the preparation of study models of QPCP and Al Sharaq Tower, Dubai for about two to three weeks. Later I worked on the plans and sections of the Al Sharaq Tower, making changes with respect to the internal walls of individual housing units. I helped the team in preparing presentations for the meetings.
