Between Filth and Fortune- Urban Cattle Foraging Realities by Devi S Nair, An...Mansi Shah

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

10. 1060 Brickell Avenue
M I A M I , F L O R I D A
This mixed-use highrise, located at the
prominent intersection of Brickell and
Miami Avenues in downtown Miami, is a
signature presence on the Miami skyline.
Two elegant residential towers rise out of
a 10-story parking deck, which also houses
boutique street-front retail space on the
first two levels. Designed in a sleek, con-temporary
style, the residential towers rise
to 37 and 45 stories. Loft-style residential
units also wrap around the central parking
core. Atop the parking podium, a lushly-landscaped
pool deck and recreation area
provide private outdoor space, as well as
city and ocean views.

This mixed-use urban infill project is an integral
part of a significant redevelopment effort in
downtown St.Petersburg. The design concept
combines a 30-story residential tower with a
three-story component of residential-over-retail
structures wrapped around parking. Although
structurally independent, the tower and lower-rise
structures are designed to work together
as a single residential complex, integrated
through an amenity suite and pool deck on the
third level podium. The tower residences offer
views of Tampa Bay while the low-rise struc-tures
are designed as a series of buildings,
breaking up the massing and creating interest
at street level.
13. Palm Court
Miami Design District
M I A M I , F L O R I D A
SB Architects is working with Dacra on
an ambitious expansion of the Miami De-sign
District. Palm Court, the fi rst phase
of the expansion project, introduces a
a whole new approach to retail design
and architecture. The design team is
creating the architectural skeleton for
the block – addressing building structure,
overall identity and the movement of
people through the space - and giving
the individual retailers the opportunity
to create the entire 45-foot facade for
their structures. A pedestrian ‘paseo’ will
bisect the multi-block expansion, with
grand plazas at either end. Green roofs
top nearly every structure, and the entire
project being designed with the goal of
LEED Gold Certifi cation.

entitled for 302 residential units, the
L-shaped structure will wrap around a pool
deck and recreation area located on the
podium above 122,00 SF of structured

20. Santana Row
S A N J O S E , C A L I F O R N I A
One of the leading examples of the urban
mixed-use project type in the country, this
project replaces an aging single-story
mall, (with 100% surface parking), with a
densely designed, multi-story mixed-use
community that incorporates all of its
parking needs within the new structures.
On the podiums of Buildings 7 and 8, inte-rior
streets provide access to flats and
direct-entry townhouses (each with its own
garage), creating real neighborhoods
above street level. The main street is high-lighted
by a median park and lined with
ground-floor retail, restaurants and public
gathering places, which invoke the impres-sion
of an urban district that has devel-oped
over time. San Jose Mercury News
architecture critic Alan Hess commented,
“Santana Row shows the extraordinary
value added by good design...”

Included on Conde Nast’s 2008 “Hot List” of
the world’s hottest new hotels, this project
transforms an historic but tired hotel in the
heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter into an
ultra-chic boutique hotel that has instantly
become a major destination. The design team
took the six-story structure down to the shell to
create a completely new experience on the
interior, while the exterior received a respectful
renovation that enhanced the historic façade
with minimalistic details. This destination hotel
is defined by its dramatic public spaces, from
the basement nightclub and lounge, to the
rooftop bar, outdoor restaurant and pool with
panoramic views of downtown San Diego. At
every turn, the architecture and interiors work
together to create the unexpected – sleek,
modern architectural forms combined with
dramatic, over-the-top interiors, all within a
restrained historic envelope.

for the Guesthouse brand. Designed as
an oasis within an urban setting, GH
Atlanta will combine amenities, events
and a sense of community for its mem-bers.
At the heart of the concept lies a
luxurious outdoor entertainment area,
with multiple options for relaxing and
socializing, private cabanas, beach vol-leyball,
multiple bars, and event venues.
Indoors, the living room and dining room
provide social hubs, while a state-of-the-art
fitness facility ensures that it enhanc-es
not only members’ social and profes-sional
lives, but their physical lives as
well. The design vision is modern but
inviting, sophisticated but not stuffy.

SB Architects acted as architect-of-record for
the public spaces of this urban luxury hotel,
which is an integral component of Espirito
Santo Plaza, a mixed-use highrise develop-ment
in downtown Miami. SB Architects
worked directly with The Gettys Group to
create the new hotel within the existing per-ameters
of a 36-story glass tower designed by
Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF). The hotel spans
the 10th through 25th floors, with additional
conference facilities on the third floor. The
nine floors below the hotel house 30,000
square feet of Class “A” office space, with a
condo hotel occupying the 11 floors above.
Brought on board with construction already
well underway, SB Architects and Gettys faced
the significant challenge of designing to strin-gent
4½-star standards without a specific
brand initially identified, all within the confines
of an existing building structure.

SB Architects was chosen to redevelop a
large site across the street from the
University of Southern California campus
into an urban mixed-use village. With its
primary entrance on one of the campus’s
most prominent intersections, the design
philosphy for this dense, infill project is to
create a true residential neighborhood for
students, faculty and the surrounding com-munity.
The goal is to use the architecture
and public spaces to form a unique village
character, while acknowledging the proj-ect’s
very urban surroundings. The master
plan follows the specific guidelines of the
University’s overall master plan. The plan is
organized along the village’s pedestrian-ori-ented
main street, which cuts through the
center of the project and provides a shared
public space not only at street level, but
when overlooked from the housing above.

SB Architects won an international design
competition for the master-planning and design
of Phase One of this expansive master-planned
development, which includes 7 mixed-use struc-tures
overlooking the Joeseph Khoury Marina,
the largest marina in Beirut. Set upon a grand
pedestrian promenade raised seven meters
above sea level, the four central structures will
house high-end residences above a carefully or-chestrated
progression of retail and restaurants,
creating a sophisticated and exciting urban
destination. When complete, Waterfront City
will cover an area of over 193,600 square meters,
with more than 5,000 new residences, as well
as commercial and retail districts, a destination
shopping mall and two hotels. Set against the
rich cultural backdrop of Beirut, Waterfront
City presents the opportunity to fuse location,
climate, views and planning concept into new
urbanism for this historic city.

Located just a few blocks from the city’s
downtown ballpark, this project is part of a
movement to create a new residential
neighborhood and retail destination. The
building combines a modern, urban archi-tectural
vernacular with a community-ori-ented
approach to massing and street
presence. Two-story retail spaces (limited in
size to encourage local business) front
Fourth Street, with two-story townhouses
opening onto the smaller “neighborhood”
streets on both sides of the project.
Residential parking is tucked behind the
retail and townhouses, topped by an expan-sive
third-story podium with a clubhouse
and outdoor gathering spaces.

for a total of 76 for-sale residential
units. An existing three-story brick ware-house
has been transformed into 23 resi-dential
units. A new courtyard building
adjacent to the warehouse houses 53 units.
Five levels of residences overlook a court-yard
situated one level below grade, with
four levels overlooking street views.
Parking is housed in two levels below the
courtyard. The design of the new construc-tion
is distinctly urban in character. An
eclectic vocabulary of architectural refer-ences
reflects the neighborhood, which
includes residential, industrial, commercial
and retail enterprises. A mixture of materi-als,
combined with set-back elements, bays
and covered balconies, creates a lively
facade.

SB Architects designed the project con-cept
and residential portions of this large
mixed-use project in the heart of the San
Francisco Bay Area. The one, two and
three-bedroom residences are located in
two to four stories over a two to three-story
retail and parking podium. The resi-dential
structures are designed around a
series of courtyards, which are visible
from the street. This design serves sever-al
purposes. It gives the illusion of numer-ous
layers and buildings within each sin-gle-
structure footprint, brings light and
views to the interior units, and creates a
series of on-podium outdoor spaces for
residents - resulting in a “community
above the street.”

These four phases of the Mission Hills
Shenzhen mixed-use development are com-prised
of three mixed-use high-rise towers
overlooking a mid-rise residential community.
Sited on either side of the primary access
road, the new communities provide an urban
core for the existing development. The series
of high-rise structures is conceived as a strong
contemporary design statement, providing
sweeping views and an iconic modern beacon
for the area, and creating a sculptural skyline
above a dramatic, glassed-in retail base.
Directly across the road, the 36 mid-rise
structures are clustered around a central lake.
A series of interconnected garden courts,
bridges and pavilions creates a welcoming,
highly walkable residential environment. C l i e n t

Located in the heart of downtown Palm

San Jacinto Mountains, this hotel presents the
opportunity to spark a resurgence in this
iconic city. The goal for the design is to cre-ate
a vibrant structure with a strong visual
identity, capable of drawing a hip new breed
of clientele to Palm Springs. The design con-cept
treats the hotel as a stage, where every-one
can be a performer. Mid-century mod-ern
architectural references, punctuated by
vibrant shots of color, create a simple, yet
edgy and dramatic backdrop. The hotel
embraces an expansive pool garden, laid out
for maximum sun and view exposure.
