RAW
ARCHITECTURE. — Real Architectural Works: architecture and urban design portfolio of Surbhi Patil
I’m Surbhi Patil, an urban designer working at the intersection of spatial design, infrastructure systems, and real-world urban conditions. With a background in architecture and advanced training in urban design, my work focuses on turning complex city dynamics into clear, buildable, and context-driven strategies.
My work through RAW — Real Architectural Works — is rooted in the reality of the city. I translate urban experiences into bold architectural expressions through structure, material, and form. Influenced by a range of architectural styles, I approach design with a strong visual identity that values both experimentation and clarity.

PRATT STUDIO WORK.
A year of studio chaos, late-night models, unfinished thoughts, and architectural experiments, new urban terminologies collected into one archive at the Pratt Institute School of Architecture.
INDUSTRIAL GOWANUS
Located along the Gowanus Canal in New York City, the project embraces flooding by collecting and storing rising water in a basin until levels recede. Above it, an elevated structure contains exhibitions and offices, residentials. Crane-like systems reinterpret industrial infrastructure as circulation across the site.
