My name is Sehaj. I study civil engineering with architecture at UNSW. I don’t want to scare you away! But I prefer you experience this blog personally and intimately. I post for expression, and your viewing pleasure, it’s quite exiting! This will grow as I do, so I extend you an invitation take a look around, make yourselves at home and interact, with what’s on show!


To those of you kind enough, I invite you to click the posts and read between the lines(literally!)

Hi! My name is Sehaj. I study civil engineering with architecture at UNSW. I am slowly increasing my sentence length for your comfort. As this description goes on my sentences will exponentiate, becoming increasingly complex and intricately detailed. But until then I write simply. This is because I don’t want to scare you away! As we progress, I’d have you note the decreasing formalcy of my tone. Cause I’d prefer you experience this blog personally and intimately. As is my intention, even with this description.

It’s all a bit of an experiment really, an experiment… in expression! That’s why I chose this minor, and why I write, and I post. For expression, and your viewing pleasure. What you’re seeing is my architecture portfolio, a sort-of time-capsule of work, to be dug up future. Perhaps this will chart a journey towards sophistication as a designer, perhaps it will remain an ethereal reminder of university reveries … either way, it’s quite exiting!

There is a uniqueness here. Whilst here, is lack of stagnancy. It will grow as I do, presenting new surprises for you, the reader.This is an invitation into my frantic life, potentially providing insights about the unique challenges and experiences a within design school from a normal, outsider’s perspective. So please, take a look around, make yourselves at home and interact, with what’s on show!


Here's a picture of the person who started this, many others will follow and (hopefully)
 ensure this description remains unchanged from when this blog was fisrt begun.

The initial model was made of paper at 1:50, hence everything seemed pliable allowing me to make important decisions on larger elements; including the forms, windows and doors. A 1:20 cardboard iteration provided rigidity in form diverting focus to the furniture, its intricacies and arrangement, within the allotted spaces. An additional light source allowed me to refine a space (the upstairs living quarters) by altering the forms in a more decorous manner. Pleased with the quality of the output I will henceforth endeavour to include model making within ...
