TOTAL AREA : 33,263.90 sqm
Pochampally, a bustling town in the Indian state of Telangana, is well-known for its rich cultural legacy, particularly its famed handloom industry. Community centers play a vital role in uniting people, providing spaces for interaction, learning, and essential services. The faculty permitted us to conduct a case study and survey of Pochampally, gaining insights into its rural lifestyle and cultural aspects. This exploration revealed the seamless integration of workplaces with residences, emphasizing features like courtyards for passive cooling using locally sourced materials like terracotta roofing tiles and adobe bricks. These elements facilitated a naturally cool interior during hot summer days without the need for electrical devices, complemented by surrounding trees enhancing natural airflow. The design objective was to create a community center for villagers to engage in work, exhibitions, learning, and celebrations, fostering the preservation of their enduring culture. This initiative aimed to offer the world an opportunity to learn about the rich narrative of Pochampally.

The site plan shows the connectivity between each building. I attempted to emphasise the
interconnectedness of the handloom park and other blocks, making it accessible to residents as well as visitors of the town.There are two entrances ( one for the visitors and the other for the villagers) and one service entry at the northeast side of the site. It will have an access to the banquet hall. ENTRY

Ujjain, an ancient city nestled on the banks of the Shipra River in central India, holds a significant place in the India’s history, culture, and scientific heritage. Despite colonial challenges, India’s pre-independence era saw a remarkable rise in scientific thought and discoveries. Indian scientists of the time made significant contributions to several subjects, including mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and medicine. The brief involved creating plans for a Landmark Memorial and Museum with the aim of providing lasting homage to scientists while also educating the younger generation about their significant contributions to science during the pre-independence era. This was part of an architectural design competition organized by the Madhya Pradesh Council of Science and Technology. The design allowed for exploration of various concepts, including environmental friendliness, sustainability, green building practices, connectivity & flow, and a vernacular style of architecture. The designated land is situated within the Planetarium Complex in the city of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.

Architecture is a creative discipline that thrives on innovative ideas and design solutions. Creating and maintaining a good environmental design in an architect’s office is crucial for several reasons, as it can positively impact both the well-being of the occupants and the overall success of the architectural practice. The brief involved designing an architect’s office for a renowned architect on a hypothetical site. We were encouraged to use creativity in our design decisions, especially in spatial orientation, to ensure an efficient workflow without any hindrances. The emphasis was on creating a tranquil and homely environment, recognizing that architects spend a significant amount of time in their studios. The faculty instructed us to explore diverse material options and articulate the rationale behind our selections.
