SHOPHOUSE CITY

The city of Ahmedabad has a uniquely dense and obfuscating layout made up of "pols," or dense communities deliberately designed to be difficult to navigate.

This project offers a more organic solution inspired by the existing pols.

About Me

Hi. I'm a registered architect in the State of Texas and a life-long doodler, day-dreamer, project-starter, and occasional project-finisher. After earning a Master of Architecture from the University of Michigan in 2020 I found that I never stopped chewing on many of the interesting questions posed to me there. This site is a landing zone for my answers and follow-up questions.

  • Architectural Design & Drafting
  • Digital Modeling & Rendering
  • Graphic Design
  • Traditional Media
  • Digital Painting
  • Animation
