design a subdivision with the area of I IO acres. This included urban design of the neighborhood and architectural design of individual residential and commercial buildings. I put together a team of 25 architects,urban planners,traffic engineers,structural engineers and interns to work with me on this project. The subdivision needed to be planned to include a 5,382,000 sqft. of 4300 residential units, 3450,000 sqft. of educational buildings, 27,000 sqft. of cultural and religious buildings,97,000 sqft. medical buildings, 28.5 acres of green space and 5,380,000 sqft. commercial buildings.
