Translating abstract concepts into tangible, coherent designs that address both creative and technical aspects.

My approach to site planning is grounded in a thorough analysis of both physical and socio-cultural contexts. I excel in evaluating how a site’s unique characteristics can inform and shape design solutions that respect and enhance the community’s identity and needs. This sensitivity is reflected in my previous projects where I successfully balanced aesthetic aspirations with practical considerations, fostering spaces that resonate with users and contribute positively to their surroundings.

Varanasi upholds a religious as well as spiritual significance, Harishchandra Ghat, famous for it's history and cremation activities, till date remains un-noticed and communities there struggle to make the ends meet. The proposed intervention brings social justice.

Kota, being wholeheartedly endorsed as one of its kind SIGNAL FREE city, ignores the pedestrians while highlighting the vehicular traffic. The core of city (Lapura) faces a similar challenge. The proposed intervention strives to bring a stable equity between pedestrians and motorized users.

Guided by : Prof. Ashwin Mukul

Project Year : 5th Year

Site : Kota, Rajasthan

REIMAGINING THE NODES

Urban intervention

The over bridge resolves the prominent issue of ignorance towards pedestrian infrastructure, as well as adds space to the public domain. The inclusiveness of the overhead ring includes handicapped and physically challenged users, as well as cyclists.

The idea not only solves logistical problems, but also spreads beyond tangible aspects and pushes users towards a healthier and better future. Promoting pedestrian circulation along with cycle tracks helps in reducing motorized vehicular traffic in the core city area.

Kolis, the oldest resident of Mumbai, struggling to find a sense of identity. The worli koliwada has been a hot spot for years, and the proposed intervention strives to bring people on common ground. Addressing the need of the hour, and the aesthetic appeal of the context.

The form not only addresses the climatic needs, but also brings a sense of openness and freedom to the space. The vaulted structure adds value to the quality of space, for the better publicinteraction.

The inverted arches and the vernacular material brings a sense of identity to the space. Making it highly inviting while merging with the surroundings. The hierarchy of spaces is felt through change in volume throughout the intervention. This hierarchy not only adds permeability between the spaces, but also helps in crowd control and makes it easy to navigate for the users.

Ocean's fascinating depths and its unique biodiversity holds the potential to influences the architecture on land. In this public use intervention, a special structure is derived from the anatomical study of the creature JELLY FISH.

The design is highly influenced by the way of living and elements of life. Special measures are taken to avoid harsh solar radiation from southern facade, while the openings allow diffused light and cross ventilation.

The intent was to do hands on work with Materials. The idea was to understand the capacity of Different Materials as a building materials.

Starting with designing with limited materials, scrapping wood fixing the joineries, mixing and pouring POP to make it stand, everything was done to understand the possibilities of construction.
