DRIVEN BY CURIOSITY
This portfolio contains a collection of select academic and non - academic works in architecture, art and design. Each project had its own means of presentation, however they’re all presented in a unifying theme for this portfolio while keeping the original presentation spirit. Hopefully, this portfolio will give you a insight to who I am as a creative person.

BEACH CAFÉ The design objective in this project was to build a cost effective and unique experience for a beach cafe., While providing a full view of the sea to the users. The solution to this was a conceptual cafe raised several stories above the ground surface on an angular scafolding structure. Accessed by climbing a vertiginous staircase. All of the above features were achieved by the use of shipping container as building block, which can be dismantled and re-assembled for re-location.

Bird’s eye view of the café
Its is important in a café to maintain a ambiance that serves to relax the user, thus a view of the sea and complementing fenestration to allow subtle sunrays forming patterns.
View of the café facing the sea, elevatted hieght provides a better view of the sea and beach for the users.
ARCHITECT’S RESIDENCE
The design objective here was to achieve a evident but subtle balance between residence and office space while preserving the professional environment with the luxury of a house. In such circumstances it is important to mark out a formal workspace even with-in the house, keeping in mind not to clutter the workspace and keeping it functional.

COMMERCIAL COMPLEX A mixed complex is nothing like a mall, everything here is different because it is inspired by culture and it inspires the culture of a place. People are driven towards the green and raw nature of suburbs when working in extreme density of the cities. Thus, the design problem was to make a mixed use commercial complex keeping the Indian culture as the centre of focus. Allowing maximum social gathering space and common plaza connecting all the spaces. The main idea here is to combine the urban oasis of the open areas with the extreme density of sky scraper into a new world hybrid of the two.

CONCEPT The concept behind the design is that each unit of complex is representative of a mountain in the landscape, the common space in the center and in between the buildings then becomes a valley. each space is able to overflow into this valley to create a organic flow.

Complex is designed to draw its success based on the following salient features ;- 4 varieties of sizes are designed for shops, catering to the fact that not all shop types have the same space needs. Further, deeper shops have been designed to suit the needs of the majority of shops hawkers have been allocated kiosk spaces interspersed in between retail shops to maintain the economic ecology that exists in every indian bazaar single loaded corridors have been designed for comfortable movement of visitors.

Green Office
Plaza and More
Each office floor comprises of a green zone with big opening to allow circulation of fresh air, ďŹ lter and reduce building’s carbon footprint.
A commercial complex is binded together by the common plaza and the intermediate spaces between the buildings.
COMPETETION ENTRIES How does extracurricular competitions help me? Team Work Conceptualisation Problem workout Software Workflow Awareness I have been invested in competitive entries ever since the start and recognise the value of these activities for my developement I perceive these as the co-curriculum meanining that all these exercises are as important as the academics itself.

Recreational Area
Commutable Furniture
The area is developed into active public space. The contour lines provide adequate and inbuilt sitting spaces. Food stalls can set up daily and the space transforms into a beautiful garden cafe.
Manually operated transformable furniture that acts as sitting and could be levelled to convert the space into effective parking space.
Exhibition Space
Auto Stand
Mixed purpose space for parking and exhibition. During events the space is used for art display else utilized for parking. Lightweight prefabricated panels are used for partition which can be stacked together in an underground attic.
The space is divided into diagonal lines, defining pathways for auto rickshaw to stand and accordingly depart for their destinations and avoid chaos. Waiting for the public is also developed set accordingly.
Bamboo as Biofilter These are effective windscreen, mitigate noise, remove particulate matter and provide visual reief from busy traffic. Bamboo walls on divider and garden cafe. Solar LED inside bamboo casing. Species used are pleioblastus fortunei and pleioblastus viridistriatus.

THE RED DOT | INDUSTRIAL DESIGN | 2014
INDULGENCE | THE CONCEPT Minimalism is more of a principle than a visual design. Imagine walking into a bare room where one peice commands your attention, that’s minimalism. A minimally designed space most often tends to have one element that stands out, because of its colour or style, making it a statement piece for the respective space.
DESIGN PROCESS Made entirely using the Autodesk Fusion 360, industrail design software. Allowing sculpting of the product efficiently.
AGAINST THE RUSTIC BACKGROUND
ELEGANCE RE-DEFINED Wall hung for creating visual illusion of hovering, elegantly designed peice of furniture.
COMPLEMENTING THE ELEGANCE
ARTWORKS Observative sketching is a wonderful method to study different aspects of various elements and feelings. I draw portraits and perspectives in different media to relax myself from the stresses of studio. Making artwork using digital media is just as interesting to me as using pen and paper. However, I beleive digital media has vast potential even for creative architectural representation.
2015 | Sketch | Contemporary Feeling
2016 | Portrait | Squares and Triangles
A mix of pencil and photoshop sketching, Inspired from Shakti Mohan contemporary dance photoshoot.
A interestingly different take at portraying someone taking reference from real images.
2016 | Hand Sketch | True Face One of my best work so far, True face is the one we never show to anyone, it is the truest reflection of ones self
PHOTOGRAPHY In addition to other things, what does photography help me percieve? A sense of light and shades A sense of scale Composition Colour sense Visualisation
I record footage every step of my way. I predominantly use the inbuilt camera function. Either no photoshop or minimal photoshop editing. All my intention is to share my point of view at things.
2014 | Meerut | Road trip
2014 | Delhi | Holi exploration
It was a normal road trip untill we found the chilled stream and a bunch of boys full of life.
On the contrary to free life of a town, the view of Delhi-6 from atop Jami Masjid gives a different perspective at the busy yet eventful life of this city.
2014 | Sonepur | Exploration
2014 | I.I.T. Patna | Divinity in motion
One of the biggest animal fair, and the elephants were more than ready to pose for the camera.
It was my ďŹ rst time watching a classical dance live and it mesmerised me to the core.
2013 | Patna | A spiritual high
2014 | Meerut | Offroad into the unknown
Nothing compares to the serenety of Ganga aarti at dusk.
Sometimes it takes courage to venture into the unknown, but you get rewarded equivalently to do the same.
THANK YOU.
