The document contains an architecture portfolio by Zoona Jerral, including projects designed during their time as an MS Architecture student from 2016-2018. It includes summaries and floor plans of several building design projects, including a brick tescellation house, classroom building, telecom towers interior, cadet college buildings, farm house, and low-cost housing. The projects focus on sustainable design approaches and drawing geometry-based design inspiration from traditional architectural forms and cultural contexts.

BRICK TESCELLATION HOUSE Itis geometry that allows us to translate the beauty of our cultural lifestyles and family values into our built environments, that is why we see such a wide diversity in the spatial programs of homes from around the world. It is geometry that let us channelize the beauty of the environment around us to meet our comfort level, and it is geometry alone that, when it reaches the beauty of its mathematical perfections, can feed our spiritual desire for resolution around us as well. But why would we need all this beauty around us when we can survive with the bare necessities as well. The answer to that is that no one was ever made to feel content with survival alone, we all need a life to live. The message that we architects failed to deliver was that beauty and comfort are themselves part of the meaning of sustainability as something that does not provide both is not likely to be loved and hence preserved or for that matter sustained by its users.

- 3. AKHUWAT LOW COSTHOMES(II) DESIGN OF SUSTAINABLE HOUSING USING NATURAL METARIALS Often when we think of low cost housing we think of the most efficient economic means of providing shelter. What we fail to realize is that those who need low cost shelters also need physical as well as emotional comfort with lower stress levels. This dwelling tries to provide not just a shelter but a family home with both multiusage as well as privacytogether in one accomodation for a family. So that each family member had an individual space along with family life in one compact dwelling. The prototype for such dwellings is being worked on in collaboration with an NGO by the name of Akhuwat here in Pakistan, which would like to build them in parts of Northern Punjab.
- 4. CADET COLLEGE CAFE Deconstructionto my mind is the name given to removing all boundaries and eliminatingthe use of rules in architecture. Architectural creation can now be based upon knowledgefrom any field in life. The barrier between subjective and objective being broken, any formof prior knowledge can be translated into a built form. This is where abstraction or codificationfrom one discipline to another comes in. The plan that I have derived in this case is also an abstracting exercise, one that codifies the existing master planning of a cadet collegecampus into platforms and frames, that capture the contours and views of the mountainous region where it is placed. Critical regionalism for me involves unpicking elements from your context so that u finally discover the genius of the place or the essence of the space you take inspiration from, for theambience you are constructing. Through the materiality of rammed earth and the 3d formthat one has to penetrate to reach the core of this space I have also given my own version ofthe hospitable spaces traditionally existing in this Northern region of Pakistan.Although we can also not forget that inspiration in outher words intuition is but the relationships that one forms through what prior knowledge resides in his mind, therefore documentingsomeone else’s design intention while unpicking is impossible. Unpicking hereonly refers to each persons individual interpretation for the essence of the place. I have onlyprovided a trigger for ones emotions relating to traditional hospitable spaces through thisdesign. The intention is to make them fully aware of the region they are in, even within a contemporary form.
- 9. COOL SCHOOL Schools shouldoffer a place where children can learn not only about the world but from the world. From new experiences and new interactions, and understand new ways of expressing themselves. The form we have designed offers freestyle spaces to the children so that they can build their activities around it and hence not only trigger but nurture their creativity further as well. From alcoves treated cob interiors in the classrooms to the organic tumble down ramp in the play area, the freedom that these forms provide to the though process of these children will make sure they are ever ready to face the challenges of a similarly spontaneous world.
- 10. TELECOM TOWERS INTERIOR Ifsimplicity is achieved after an in-depth analysis ofdetails developed over centuries then such a simplicity will surely hold a much deeper meaning and hence invoke amuch more profound experience. The traditional Japanese philosophy relating to wabi-sabi seems to me the exactextract of this idea. Hence I would like to explain this project with this note, which to me is a perfect descriptionof how to derive simplicity: “Get rid of all that is unnecessary. Wabi-sabi means treadinglightly on the planet and knowing how to appreciate whatever is encountered, no matter how trifling, wheneverit is encountered. “Material poverty, spiritual richness” are wabi-sabi words.Wabi-sabi is exactly about the delicate balance betweenthe pleasure we get from things and the pleasure we get from freedom from things.”Therefore everything here from te design of the chairs to the design of the interior form and softscape that connectsthe interior, is a reduction to the basics, of forms found in nature. So that we experience the spiritual richness ofnature in the man made world as well.
- 11. CADET COLLEGE RESIDENCE Itodays collision of diversity, individualityremains the single most valuable possesion for a certain place. Therefore we need to use this individuality in our creative process and preserve forms that are not only apt to be constructed in modern materials but also lead to a successful marraige between these materials and rarecultural values which might be lost to internationalism in a few more years In this case this task was carried out by building homes forcadet college staff member from the mountanious northern region of Pakistan. Homes with a program that preserves the special lifestyles they lead. Homes that, when excavated by archeologists a 100 years later,narrate how each individual familyproduced their creative usage within a central activity centre that in these cold regions is the sun room. And hence how they preserved their culture for the future. CADET COLLEGE RESIDENCE I todays collision of diversity, individualityremains the single most valuable possesion for a certain place.

But this traditional wisdom is being lost somewhere in the midst of the consumer culture of today, with the demand and consequent supply of signature fashions and signature styles. The passion for standardization according to Alvar Alto had led us to a “rootless internationalism” and this is what he spent a lifetime to correct. For this project I tried to take a break from these standards, tried to look for what we can derive from purely basic needs of environment comfort. I tried to organized an everyday routine of office work in amalgamation with an everyday need of environment comfort. The result is a regimental program fit into the hapticity of natural materials on straight edges, and curvilinear forms of wind catching surfaces.

- 15. FARM HOUSE DESIGN BRIDGEHOUSE With the Bridge House a series of different outdoor spaces juxtaposed within a pathway that carries all the indoor spaces, nurtures a true experience of a farmers inside-outside life surrounded by its land. This whole circulation loop guides us through a narration of the events that constitute farm living. From the scattered growth in the orchard to the consolidation and celebration of this produce in the courtyards, verandahs and in indoor gathering spaces. It is an architectural celebration of a programme, an architecture that doesnt just lay a platform for a farmers life but celebrate the event that farm living is.

- 17. FRACTAL HOUSE So whatis sacred architecture? How is it possible that such an extension of human reason is describable in such an extension of matter. Moreover, what is that elixir which smoothens the transition from the corporeal back to thecelestial. The answer for most lies in the images of ancient monuments and majestic shrines. But what if for a moment we try to reverse our binoculars, try and search for moremundane answers. In light and its chiaroscuro for example, in shade and its safety, In the layers and tescellations of both these and then the depth you have to fathom to reach their source. Such was the effect of the geometric tesscellation I experimented with in this project.
