1/64” = 1’ scale model of my proposed museum atop the ruins of Persepolis in Iran.
A Smoke Shop’s Awning
12x4x3 inches
Python, calfskin, basswood, red cedar

Model of a scaffolded viewing structure, allowing visitors to examine the tallest columns from a new perspective.
Underground galleries, built into the terrace - housing the art collection of the former royal family that has been kept in the basement of the Tehran Modern since the revolution.
The largest typology of a perforated gallery space, housing repatriated artefacts, preserved columns, and reflection pools - a nod to the advance aqueduct system beneath Persepolis.
Portrait of a Snake
4x5x1.5 inches
Python, boa, watersnake, crocodile, lambskin suede, wood, leather paint
Section drawing, with a staggered cut, going through every museum typology in Persepolis.
Model and exploded axon of a floating block that can be assembled in various ways to build modular architecture on bodies of water. This project proposed these systems exist in tandem with various armatures to support the renewal of Gowanus’ oyster, marsh and bird populations.
This project proposes an ADU for a home in Jamaica, Queens, giving architectural form to the function of single-family American homes as immigrant infrastructure. The ADU translates the realities of family-sponsored migration into an “American Dream” that is assembled gradually; through kinship, adaptation and every day ritual.
Video montage of all source materials acquired through the process of designing a supermarket. Renders shown are my own creations, clips sourced from various places.
Broken fragment of the model I made for the supermarket. I was heavily inspired by Venturi’s ‘Learning from Las Vegas’.
A perspective section drawing of the multifaith space part of the ‘Divine Provisions’ supermarket proposal.
Giclee prints of hunting trips in Iran.
