In this course we were asked to design an Office/Gym for a client with multiple sclerosis (a disease that causes permanent damage or deteriorates the nerve fibers), but the whole focus was on making it applicable and developing full detailed working drawings and a BIM model on Revit.

The area of the land given was very small to include a ramp for the users which is integral for people with Multiple sclerosis. But I refused to give in believing in the importance of the user's comfort. So my approach was to design the ramps all around the façade of the building (inspired by Centre Pompidou) and by that not interfering with the buildings required program. I was the only student in this course who added a ramp to my building by finding a solution to the small area issue, since the ramp was originally not required due to the limited area and time of the course and no one included it.
