Hodi-Mandai Geram: A Culturally Sensitive Village for a Disappearing Ethnic Group

What if architecture reveals itself as the only vessel of memory and culture for a disappearing community? By combining Neuroscientific, Anthropological, Economic, and Psychological themes along with Participatory Community Design and Adaptive Architecture, the thesis imagines built environments that evolve with the Hodis' cultural essence.

Very effective community-based design for the ethnic groups

Mud, Memory and the Man-made: Reviving Sindh's Vernacular Architecture Through Contemporary Technologies

The future of Sindh's vernacular architecture lies not in choosing between tradition and modernity, but in combining the strengths of both. This research bridges indigenous knowledge, material innovation, and computational design to develop a resilient neo-vernacular construction framework.

Implementing Traditional methodologies in incremental housing model

This dissertation explores the integration of traditional architectural methodologies into incremental housing models, aiming to create contextual and adaptable living environments. The research investigates how vernacular principles, construction techniques, and spatial practices can inform contemporary housing approaches while allowing residents to gradually evolve and personalize their homes.

Beira Mar House

Built on a plot of land measuring 30 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, it formally establishes itself as a habitable corridor, which, from the moment of entry, is filled with moments of darkness, light, surprise, discovery, compression and, lastly, release… the backyard patio!dfdsfdfsddsfdfffffffffffffffffsdfjzxcklmjnsbjkmdbnjkladmjnkamlmdjnkalmdmbn

The concept and the design outcome is very interesting, The contemporary or even modern design is well balanced with the use of traditional material and infusing it with the traditional stupa works well with the concept of integrating the past , present and future. your presentation skills are good. i feel that if you would have followed the height restrictions then you would have come out with an interesting design.

WOVEN WORK

Based on traditional patterns woven by Indian women, the project recalls a tradition based on manual labor as well as creative work. Because the patterns are made up of solids and voids, the project transfers them to a set of courtyards determined by the directional relationship of the weave formed by the modules and the courtyard.
