’’

During the early years of primary school, I got introduced to architecture courtesy of my father who got me a book filled with pictures and information about urban squares and spectacularly imposing buildings from all over the world. I came to admire the concept of designed spaces transcending just the term ‘’ built form”. History being one of my favourite subjects in school in itself, has evolved alongside architecture since time immemorial.

Architecture has always led to a feeling of euphoria in me be it, old or new, extravagant or not.

I believe that user experience of a space is an outcome of its form, materiality, environment and contextual interdependencies

After learning multiple mediums of painting for 8 years, I started enjoying sketching and digital art which helped me to create different sorts of pieces. Architecture presents itself as visual poetry, a montage of emotions, expressions and complexities that embody the very act of ‘ being’.

Architecture to me is an act of passion and I aspire to craft spaces that evoke experientiality and trigger a greater meaning. .

Curriculum vitae

I am a 4 th year (8 th sem ) Architecture and Planning Student from Kolkata, West Bengal and currently looking for an internship for a period of 6 months starting July .

The multifaceted residential design aims to meet the socio-cultural and economic requirements of modern urban life in order to create options for medium density housing that are affordable. It usually involves a sizable group of people from many social strata coming together to coexist peacefully and form strong bonds.

In the last ten years, the peri-urban neighbourhood of New Garia in Kolkata's southern suburbs has experienced a rapid urbanisation. Both high-rise and low-rise residential complexes, as well as some low-rise apartments, have been built there.

This design incorporates an array of architectural styles and elements to symbolise the idea of integration, alongside numerous design principles like feng shui and vastu, that collectively constitute the framework of the labyrinth.

LABYRINTH 2.O

Vastu has been a guiding principle in Indian architecture since time immemorial, according to which the central space is the void. Thus, the core of our design abides by this norm, boasting of a stepwell - a crucial element seen in the architecture of western India

Feng shui says that there exist 5 major elements - namely wood, earth, water, fire, metal. Hence, the labyrinth is divided into 4 zones, with each representing one such element

The quadrants exhibit styles popular to different regions all over the world, leading one to the confluence, the heart of the mazethe stepwell depicting the idea of 'space'

creating an awe-inspiring tapestry where time and cultures entwine. Within this labyrinth

The objective is to create a tranquil space where individuals can find solace and achieve peace of mind amidst the busyness of city life.

The aim is to provide a supportive environment for individuals to engage in self-therapy and personal development, either individually or in small groups.

The ultimate goal is to enable people to nurture their mental health, build resilience, and enhance their overall quality of life in the midst of urban hustle.

ZENITH GROVE

has been translated onto the site.

Meditating pods takes after the concept of feeling safe in one's 'own shell'. Hence, the mind experiences tranquility on observing such organic patterns and elements around.

The soul of Zenith Grove reflects humans - how you & me have an appearance, an 'outline', that contains in its insides a whole world altogether. Similarly, although geometry defines the boundaries of Zenith Grove, it gets its character from biophilia.

Arising from the 'womb of universe' is the temple. The form, with its hall & watch -deck, soars high denoting the human soul's reach for divinity. The temple's main hall calls people to bond with one another, sharing experiences.
