Conceptual Design

The Sustainablity and Architechture group developed a conceptual design based on Amazon Promise's wish list and the initial floor plans.

The conceptual design was developed to meet the needs of Amazon Promise while working within local environment. Constraints include the reliability of electricity grid, heavy seasonal flooding, tap water quality, and vultures.

The conceptual design (shown left) of the health center includes a two-story building, elevated above high flood levels. The building is accessed via a floating dock by either foot or boat depending on the season.

That was great to read. I am a recent graduate with Masters in Civil Engineering. It will be my pleasure to volunteer for the design team. I look forward to know more about this. You can reach me at arungowtham01@gmail.com.
