The image above was of a mixed use commercial project that I worked on during my earlier Architectural studies. This building consisted mainly of ground level shops and five additional levels of office space. The most challenging part of this project was to provide a shading solution to block the sun on the longer sides of this building that were facing East and West respectively. My interest in contemporary Architecture is what led me to design the facade shown above to not only serve for blocking the sun but to also take this building to another level based on its appearance.
The "Falling Water" house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern
Pennsylvania is one of my all-time favourite pieces of architecture. The most interesting part of this famous building is that it is simply erected on top of a waterfall. In my opinion this is an excellent example of how a man made object can adapt to its environment and surroundings rather than impose itself on it.

The Garden of Cosmic Speculation - Scotland was designed by Charles Jencks and his wife. This amazing garden is open to the public only once a year. This fascinating garden is inspired by science and mathematics which also includes sculptures and landscaping as part of its theme. What makes this garden so unique is that it combines mathematical formulae and scientific phenomena along with other features such as symmetry and curvature to define its spaces and form.
