Kieru Problem Statement To design a display unit for a handicraft store. The display objects are small artifacts, marquetry boxes and tableware. The product was to be made only using wood. Design Approach Translating the spirit the product in a contemporary context, while keeping material and manufacturing constraints of wood in mind culminated in this shelving system.

The Wing Problem Statement Drawing inspiration from a mantaray, how can we decipher the animal’s form and biological characteristics to design a building product? Design Negotiating the needs and desires of the user vs. the principles abstracted from the natural element, culminated in this public seating artefact for Shivrajpur beach.

The next few figures (Right) are the final Extraction using Grasshopper form which evolved, combining a free seating area, slowly orts om morphing into a backrest. This movement in form is inspired by the topological theme it is based upon.

Design for Excellence Brief Understanding the relation between design and manufacturing processes was the focus of the studio. Design To propose an improved manufacturing pipeline for an existing product: a showerhead. This included manuf1ing, production and planning, packaging, shipping and logistics etc.

Codes and Standards Without these, products can never reach the market. They specify water pressure, spray area, efficiency and how to test these parameters, among other things.
Measure Drawing Before modeling it, sketching and studying the part helped understand it’s construction and notice details.

A dystopian vision of factories, where if efficiency is implemented without a human touch, it can become very oppressive. Speculating about future industrial production, I’ve reimagined the drawings as parts of a factory; eg. Shower pipe as an assembly line, shower as an electroplating tank.
