College campuses significantly impact quality educational environments and can help create a sense of attachment to the place. It is the art of intelligent and sensitive planning which involves understanding the position of buildings with logical reasoning and design derivation and the relationship between buildings.
the site is located in kalapet village in Pondicherry.
the site is located near bay of bengal. a 10m wide canal runs through the site.
site is covered by lush green vegetation.
existing vegetations near the road side are retained, reducing the noise and dust
parkings, Vehicular circulation
academic blocks, auditorium
hostels, staff residences are zoned in this region. easy accessibility to the
CRZ Zone -As the site is located close to the Sea CRZ rules are mandatory for this region. No structures are allowed in this region
Used as park and playground
the buildings are oriented such that the longer sides faces north-south direction.
the blocks are arranged based on the shape or flow of the Canal.
G+4 structure is staggered to create double height spaces. these double height spaces are used as common spaces, landscape spaces encouraging interaction.
spaces offering oppurtunity for discusions and chance encounter is limited in typical planning.
plaza is crated between the blocks which helps in interactions among students and staffs.
the common spaces create open studios, open workshops, open exhibition, jury spaces etc,.

Year - 2023
Site location - Luz corner, Mylapore, Chennai
Site area - 9990 sq m.
Softwares used - Autocad, Rhino+GH, Lumion, Photoshop
The Luz junction was identified as a critical node and a focal point for the entire study area. This location is home to the Thirumayilai MRTS and the upcoming Thirumayilai CMRL station [ Phase- II corridor], making it an excellent opportunity to integrate transit systems, create an urban plaza, consolidate existing retail spaces, and add other commercial requirements. One of the possible solution to these problems is a mixed-use development approach.

Remembering Correa
Architecture Competetion (Group)
In collaboration with - Mohammed Safawdeen
Year - 2022
Site location - Kala Academy, Goa Softwares used - Autocad, Rhino+GH, Lumion, Photoshop
Ar. Charles Correa through his work emphasizes on the tangible parameters such as climate, culture and resources. In addition to this he constantly depicts the idea of metaphysical role in the spaces we create. This competition aims at creating a memorial for Ar. Charles Correa. With a deeply rooted context consisting of one of Correa’s most celebrated work, the design can either be a dialogue with it or even be a structure of gratitude
Taking the gallery underground
An overlap of movement patterns in Kala Academy through the weekdays and weekend.
And making the existing path interesting by creating a catenary vault through which people can walkthrough
Placing a mass for gallery restricts the view from the Kala Academy to the river and it also restricts the way to the river-front.
2 pillars marking the Entrance of the memorial
Silhouette of charles correa in the entrance marking his absence with the void
And from the other side Kala Academy is visible form the void marking the presence of Correa living through his marvellous works
The planning allows people to walkthrough and get connected with the river beyond.
The circulation is based on “Parikrama” a movement around a central structure.
Materials
Laterite stone has been used in gallery walls which is abundant in Goa, to emphasize Goa’s regional flavor. It not only sustains the building but also gives it a cultural identity, connecting it to the region Other materials like Brick,Concrete, Bamboo etc are also used.
Catenary Vault roof contain compressive stress only
(i.e. no bending, shear or tensile forces) under the action of self-weight alone. these structures can be constructed reasonably cheaper than typical masonry
and reinforced concrete structures of a similar nature
The Life works and prototypes of Charles Correa are exhibited. Circulation follows the timeline of his life - early life to his legacy.
The space creates a maze like plan through which the visitors move.

The exhibit spaces has varying levels , separated by partition walls as display .
progression through a maze with varying levels is used
The seating are abstracted from kund seatings
Layers of deconstructed stone blocks are made as seatings
The existing tree with large canopy is incorporated into the design with a metaphor to Indian Gurukul concept where people learn by sitting under the tree
