The purpose of the project was to revitalize Prudential Plaza in Chicago as a center of the Pedway. The entire premise for the design was bioinspiration. Inspiration was drawn from the stone plant fenestraria for the domes to allow light deep into the
spaces. Underground levels were divided into a bookstore, cafe, and wellness center. Performance analysis software were used to add to the experience of being within nature in each design element, forming a highly tectonic solution.

high rise observation tower Site: Mumbai, India Duration: July 2017 - April 2018 20
People involved: Individual (Undegraduate Thesis)
Software: AutoCAD, Sketchup, Vray, Adobe Photoshop + Illustrator
Doordarshan Kendra is located in Worli, Mumbai. The premise of the project was to redesign the 300 m high TV tower as it is currently defunct. As of 2018, it was the tallest freestanding structure in the country. The idea was to propose a
high rise observation tower design that not only repurposes the office of DD but provides a vantage point to the city, bringing back the once lost grandeur of the DD TV Tower! The final design is a 400 m tall cylindrical steel diagrid structure.

social engagement in architecture Site: Mumbai, India Duration: July - Oct 2017 24
People involved: Team of 5 - Ashish D, Akshada M, Aakanksha H, Ishwari D, Sejal B
Software: AutoCAD, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop
For understanding social engagement in architecture, our group studied the static and dynamic aspects of a 500 m stretch from Charni Road railway station to Khotachiwadi (a heritage precinct). Trhough sequential mapping, observation
of tangible and intangible characters and analysis, we devised a set of urban design proposals and guidelines that could be implemented along the stretch to ensure protection, comfort, and delight in engaging with the urban realm.

People involved: Individual (KOHLER scholarship winning design)
Software: AutoCAD, Sketchup, Vray, Adobe Photoshop
As an introduction to junior year in college, we took up an urban infill project. Dr D.N. Road is one of the prominent heritage roads in Southern Mumbai. Analysis of the artistic context of the vicinity led to the adaptive reuse of the building into an art
and cultural center. My design retained the outer facades of the structure, while on the inside, carved out an atrium flooded with light around which were planend the galleries and exhbition spaces.

internship @ KTGY, Oakland Duration: May - Aug 2019
Software used: AutoCAD, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop
Work done: Competition proposals, Conceptual design drawings, Schematic and Proposal renders, Site visits & documentation
I was fortunate enough to have interned for 2 months over the summer at KTGY, an international full service design and planning firm ranked 34th in AR 2019’s top 300. I was a part of the High Density Design Team and got a chance to work closely with project associates, project managers,
design directors and principal architects at the firm. I was able to expose myself to on-site construction, client meetings and participate in the schematic design phase of contemporary residential buildings in California, all the while honing my skills in SketchUp and influencing colleagues as well. 39

For a residential + retail building design competition in Salt Lake City, Utah, I worked on a sectional view as it gave more depth to our form and expressed the ground plane relationship that our design proposed. The plans were rendered in a subtle pastel color scheme, clearly highlighting the main functions. We superimposed clay renders onto Google Earth to give a contextual, semi-realistic feel to our proposal.

AUSD Faculty Housing Typical Unit plans
After multiple revisions of the Alameda Faculty Housing scheme, the typical unit plans came on my desk. I updated the dimensions and room labels in the plans, and also went
ahead and made some spatial arrangements in the walls, furniture and kitchens that I felt suited the scheme. My initiative was highly praised by my peers. 41

The El Paseo housing scheme in San Jose was a project I entered into in the preliminary design stage. This was an opportunity for me to exercise my skills in SketchUp. We were experimenting with vignettes to use as facade schemes to
optimize the process of preparing concept renders. Given a previous project as a template, I went ahead and designed the facade for the scheme in a way that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Preliminary concept views
777 Saratoga was another housing project in the early conceptual design phase where I was tasked with massing out the form based only off of the design drawings. I prepared a schematic render and as per the client’s request, photo-stitched in the view into an
existing Google Maps street view of the site to give a realistic feel to the proposal. I was able to successfully create a photo-realistic render that the client appreciated and even learnt new techniques in SketchUp to make such renders, training colleagues in the process! 43

internship @ ARH, Mumbai Duration: Software used: Nov 2016 - AutoCAD, Sketchup, April 2017 Adobe Photoshop 44
Work done: Presentation drawings, Working drawings & details, Site execution drawings, 3D Models and Renders
My first experience in the field was interning for 5 months at Architect Rushikesh H. in Mumbai, India in the senior level of college. A young firm established in 2001, ARH has made its mark in a variety of fields and as an intern, I was fortunate enough to have worked on multiple projects. It was the first time I could
implement my skills in preparing schematic drawings for client presentations. I was also able to work on design development drawings and lighting schemes for industrial township entrance gate projects. My supervisor also gave me the chance to work on construction drawings for a large scale commercial project.

Design Development Drawings for Rajhans Fila Entry Gate
The entrance gate design for Rajhans Fila Township came to me after the conceptual design had been approved. Looking at the state of drawings, My initiative to improve the design in terms of optimizing the rib design was highly
appreciated by my supervisor. I worked out all of the frame elevations on AutoCAD and made my own cladding details. These design development drawings were later used to prepare shop drawings for onsite fabrication of my updated scheme. 45

Design Development Renders for Rajhans Fila Entry Gate

After working on AutoCAD, I switched over to SketchUp, where I could employ my advanced skills in making an accurate 3D Model of the updated scheme. SketchUp allowed me to better express the design, annotating and rendering materials -
this procedure made it easier for the client to visualize the design. View 4 was especially important for the consultant on the project as it depicted the skeleton of the framework and revisions made to the design more effectively.

Lighting Scheme for Rajhans Felix Entry Gate
After successfully executing drawings for Fila, I was tasked with working on the Rajhans Felix Township Entrance Gate. The design was well beyond the conceptual stage and had passed through to construction drawings. I was
responsible for coming up with a lighting scheme, deciding the placement and color of light fixtures. Along with AutoCAD drawings, I also generated a 3D SketchUp model to aid the client in visualizing the proposal of the lighting scheme. 47

Rajhans Helix (Commercial building) Sectional View

Rajhans Helix was one of the commercial buildings in Mumbai I was briefly involved in. The building was under construction and required a better understanding of the theater and office floor slabs. My capability to use SketchUp inspired my supervisor
to get me in on the project and prepare a sectional view of the space. The challenge was to accurately study the concrete consultant’s drawings and accurately model the right slab, beam, column sizes to fully understand the design.
