Background

I find value in the reconciliation of multifunctional environments. I seek to explore fantasy architecture and beauty in design transcending the mundane. The adaptive reuse, urban renewal and intriguing ability of a navigation centre to transform city-centre. Evolving our originalities in a way that bridge historical identity with modern needs. At a transit corridor, a reimagined structure will function as transit hub, work centre and deck for commuters– to orient oneself, evoke reflection. An integrated lighthouse alludes to light and shadow, a symbolic sun-dance guiding visitors through, achieving material narratives of a symbolic past. This interplays ritual and ceremony, subtly an initiation to higher authority. It becomes a civic altar where urban systems and cultural memory meet, inspiring collective identity and sustainable action. It addresses commuting challenges, hostile architecture and fragmented pedestrian networks; creating confluence of culture, utility and ecological responsibility.
