Urban Interventions
Socially-driven Mixed-use Developments

— Articulating New Relationships Between Buildings & the Society —






> Designed for the comprehensive analysis, rehabilitation and extension of existing buildings/sites, with a focus on the articulation of a personal design philosophy and view of the relationship of interior design and architecture to society: from an awareness of socio-economic, cultural and political dynamics of the context, to justifying the new need and opportunity in the area, along with an understanding of the intervention’s impact on the environment and future scenarios.
> My approach to designing urban interventions, led by the six realities, enables students and professionals to reflect upon the imperatives for high density, mixed-use development with a critical view towards the future of sustainable urban centres. The proposed developments for such sites are carefully tailored to the social, economic, political, environmental and built contexts.
