Urban Dam
Design approaches that integrate natural systems, ecological resilience, and green infrastructure into urban environments.
Amphibious Commons
Amphibious Commons is a strategy that works across public spaces in Kerala, from a single cluster, to a market, to a regional transit network. During flood conditions, it restores what the flood removes, a shared ground plane, and in post flooding conditions, this public ground becomes a formwork for bamboo reinforced concrete construction.
Rethinking Resilience
The project embraces flood as a natural phenomena as the premise to imagine the possibility of secure human habitation. With this as the central idea, the project defines resilience to be two fold- 1.to be prepared before flood. 2. sustenance and recuperating post flood scenario. In its execution, the project encapsulates this idea at three distinct scales.
THE FLOOD RESILIENT COMMUNITY
A design for a 100 home community that is affected by the floods, but needs to get back on their own to a better future. A design that looks into flood resilient societies, community development as a drive to healthy societies, and individual dwelling upgrading.
T.I.M.E. HEALS
Habitat when tarnished disrupts lifestyle causing emotional, mental and financial losses which creates scars forever. So, it is necessary to heal from the beginning by converting the exhausting period of struggle into a motivating environment with interactive neighbourhood. Our system unites the community by various incremental measure at different levels.
AQUALUTION CENTER /Water purification center/
Project is collection of ecology and tourism history. It should pay homage to the technological achievements and history of the site, repay the debt to nature that has been depleted at the site, and be a place where visitors will come and perceive both the historical significance and the driving and scientific part with its visitor character.
RE-GENERATOR EDEN, Reinhabiting the Garden of Eden in Al-Hammar Marshes
A regenerative tectonic system in Al-Hammar Marshes (UNESCO) countering drought and displacement. Driven by a closed-loop metabolic logic (Reuse→Transformation), the architecture economically empowers Marsh Arabs via three circular vectors: reeds (structural/craft), buffalo milk, and resilient fish infrastructure, reconnecting humanity and nature.
Rain
We live under towering skyscrapers, often feeling overwhelmed. To reduce this pressure, we propose a climate-responsive tower. Instead of rigid structures, the design embraces organic curves, creating a softer urban experience. With Singapore’s water agreement ending in 2061, the building integrates a rainwater system for self-sufficiency and security.
LifeCycle
Water crisis is one big issue that has hit human life quietly but severely. This program is supposed to provide a collaborative way of the modern and traditional way of collecting water from nature. To be aware about this global issue and to honor the people around the world who have sacrificed their lives for this cause.
A lot of time has been spent on developing the visual aesthetic of the fog catcher resulting in a well-designed piece. The link to protest is less well developed and feels underexplored.
Awesome work!
Great project!💖

AFLOAT | A WATER RESILIENT NEIGHBORHOOD
To design a neighborhood that responds to climatic variations and offers resilience to the inhabitants of Jakarta, Indonesia due to rising sea levels caused by global climate change. Jakarta is one of the fastest sinking city in the world and this project aims at creating a water resilient neighborhood that takes inspiration from amphibious architecture.
Great approach to a water resilient neighborhood.

A 650-hectare landscape strategy along Rome's Aniene River transforms flood events into ecological corridors, retention basins, and civic space.
Connected Vessels
This project explores the idea of water systems connecting through a network of vessels. Water moves through the site in an open loop; it is collected and directed into a cleansing system on site which purifies it on one side and releases it on the other. Through this process the water maintains its equilibrium and provides a lively environment.
