Solution of Pollution through Architecture
University Thesis - Live project, 2015-21 Proposal accepted by Government of India, adopted under Corporate Social Responsibility by National Mission for Clean Ganga. Published sponsored book titled “A dialogue with Mother Ganga”
the most loved river in India, but ironically one rivers in the world too. The Water Temple Project reimagines a temple clean drinkable Ganga water to complete ritualis user expeience and attempting to evolve the entire water cycle to help revive the holy river.

Temples in India are built in the image of man as a cosmic being , one with the Universe. The Water Temple levrages the sacred relation to create a sensory experience highlighting the causes of pollution as an extension of everyday action and its potential solutions as everyday or seasonal rituals.

Mars, 2020 Mentored by Ar Eddie Jones Outer Space 2020 competition Team leader - group of 4 students
Letter from the Desk of Edward Jones Jones Studio, Inc. To Whom It May Concern, I recently had the pleasure to participate as a mentor for a student team-led design competition. The brief was particularly challenging because it took everyone, regardless of experience, way outside their comfort zone. Imagine designing a home AND city in outer space! Each of the four teammates contributed to the exciting solution but it was Siddhartha who spearheaded the team, assigned responsibility and focused each individual’s efforts to not only meet the submission deadline but do it with excellence. I was very impressed with Mr. Verma’s leadership and organizational skills coupled with obvious talents for design, composition, storytelling and presentation. You are likely to have many choices in hiring fresh graduates but with all due respect to other candidates, I strongly recommend you give Siddhartha your most serious consideration. Sincerely,
03. The
Cloud Fire Station
Water from air, used for community Third Semester, 2020 Instructor : Ed Soltero
A
fire truck, like a cloud, carries water around the city for urgent need. This idea led to inspiration for a free flowing skin around the fire station, creating a micro climate inside. The top of this cloud fire station has solar panels which extract water from air using solar energy.
The site was located in the Novus Innovation Corridor of future development for ASU. It recieves lot of sun throughout the year, hence suitable sun strategies formed a strong component of design. Triangular shape site and the turning radius of fire trucks led to the shape of the fire station. Key plan
Creating a Micro environment using performative stratergies : Air to Water using Solar Panels Double Roof prevents heat gain Over head open water tanks will store water, keep roof top cool and create natural gravitational force for use.

3.2 Skin Study - Media TIC Barcelona
First, we plotted 50 random points on paper. Next, we folded it origami style to derive abstract architecture form & function. I designed a walking martian human habitat with foldable ETFE rooms and a kinetic titanium shield skin.
The EFTE facade system has 3 layered cushions with a pneumatic sun shade system. When the cushions inflate or deflate, the system allows for the adjustment of the solar transmitance. Each cushion has a sensor with an IP address to perform individually (Distributed performance).
