My name is Akshay Koyande. Currently I am pursuing the degree of Bachelor of Architecture from Department of Architecture and Planning in the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (IITR).

I have an easy-going nature that makes me work well with others and blend in quite easily. I like to push myself to the limits & achieve something which is way out of my league.

ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTRE (Third year studio work)

Located in the outskirts of the city of Roorkee, Uttarakhand, this cultural centre is designed on a site which has a majority of muslim population in the vicinity of the site. The main objective of this project to express the elements of the local heritage through the arts. This entire campus is specially made taking in thought the accessibility of the differentlyabled persons.

FITTING THE DESIGN INTO THE SITE CONTEXT

One of the major challenges in this project was to make the design such that it is acceptable to the local masses as well as be highly functional and well equipped. In order to achieve this, traditional Islamic elements are exposed on the facades of certain buildings. The landscape also makes its share of contribution by providing the classical axis in the centre. All the buildings are universally accessible thus allowing the differently abled people to commute seamlessly.

D 3D RENDERING AND WALKTHROUGH OF THE STUPA AT SANCHI

The Great Stupa at Sanchi is the oldest stone structure in India and was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE and is located at Sanchi town in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989, it is counted among the best conserved ancient Stupas of central India. We made a 3d model of some parts of the site and produced a walkthrough of the same. Working on this project was a thing of honour for me as this is a part of heritage of my country.
