Hi, I’m a fourth-year architecture student with a keen interest in commercial and sustainable architecture. I’ve always been interested in how spaces can create unique experiences for different people.

Throughout my academic journey, I’ve tried to create user-intercative designs that are innovative, functional and aesthetic.

key issues such as connectivity, preservation of monuments, landscaping, public/ semi-public facilities, toilets, recreational spaces etc. were noticed to be missing after site visits and documentation

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN arches

elements such as two-point arches were prominent in the monuments

bamboo and steel have been used to design temporary structures throughout the site so that the colour scheme matches with the park and they can be assembled and disassembled quickly

unnamed monument

key plan

The Chaumukha gate has a direct line-of-sight with the Qutub Minar. Following this, the orientaion of the museum buildings and baoli were designed.

The arches in the etrance gate have been influenced by the two-point arch of the Chaumukha gate and other monuments on the site. The two pillars, placed on either side, give an ode to the long tapering form of the Qutub Minar.

COMPETITON

softwares used : autocad, sketchup, enscape, photoshop

Dharavi is one of the biggest and most dense slums in Asia. Although enriched with culture, the standard of lifestyle is a deficit of waste management, proper drainage, clean drinking water, etc., and is often seen as a blight. the houses are cramped and co-exist with working spaces.

The aim was to develop a cultural center where people can learn and improve their skills to uplift their businesses. The infrastructure of the center will be a break from the houses and living conditions prevalent here. The center also provides the people of Dharavi a platform to showcase their work, providing a little preview into their lives. a platform to bridge the gap between Dharavi and the city.
