SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE. DELHI
A little about myself! I am passionate about architecture, and related design fields and wish to explore different places and opportunities which would challenge me to grow professionally and personally. I am an inquisitive student, who is good at solving problems in an organised and systematic manner. I believe in hard work, and therefore I am driven to put in my best effort to get things done. I am a team player, and am very adjustable in working with people. I enjoy interacting with people of different cultures, and knowing more about them, which has developed as a result of me living in different places in the world for almost 14 years of my life. 2001

01
INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION WITH A BRIEF TO BUILD AN ICONIC MUSEUM OF DESIGN IN OSLO, NORWAY
The museum of design, [prismatisk], is distinguished by being an exhibit itself – an exhibit that aims to iterate the importance of design through various plays on contrast. The design approach entails enlightening visitors about the significance of design, beyond the exhibition of design artifacts.
Museum on site
It is through contrast : absence and presence, light and shadow that we appreciate design. The lobby and foyer constitute the “undesigned”, followed by the atriums, developed as swerved open volumes, creating the “designed”. Hence, visitors walk through polarising and contrasting experiences.
Green cover preserved
Slopes developed
Entrance to museum
Voids created
Circulation
Arrangement of functions in museum
Volumetrically, a courtyard splits through the two “fingers” - one more restricted, the other more public - thereby evoking an open-closed contrast. The facade shape-shifts between complex tessellations and smooth surfaces. This visually and tactually contrasting skin wraps around the volumes, creating varying patterns of light and shadow.

The final iteration involved the vertical staggering of the block, which was inspired from the height variation in the surrounding context. The staggering created terraces which can be used as breakout spaces at every level, and also increased the open area available, in this highly dense residential sector of Gurgaon.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
The chosen area was the area in which there was a requirement of a large span structural system to support the loads of the classrooms above. To de-bulk the school and make it more open, clusters of classrooms were removed from the 1st and 2nd floors to make the mass look less imposing, and also making the connection between the students and the field stronger.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
TRANSVERSE SECTION THROUGH FOCUS AREA
[ CHOICE OF FOCUS AREA ]
ITERATION 2: V-COLUMNS This system involved taking the point loads from the upper floors to the ground floor using inclined columns. The span between the columns was too large.

ITERATION 3: V- COLUMNS MODIFIED WITH TREE COLUMNS V-columns were branched out to decrease the loading on individual members of the column. However, the connection of the second floor corridor was not properly resolved.
ITERATION 4: TRUSS COLUMNS The final system incorporated the triangulation of truss members in a column. The 2nd floor corridor is suspended from these columns using steel members.
SUN SHADING DEVICE A solar pergola works well in shading the west and the east. A similar shading device can be designed for the north and the south by modulating the number of panels in a solar pergola and their angle.

ITERATION 1: CURVED COLUMNS The initial columns where placed at 17.5 m apart. The curvature of the column is very large.
The structural system of steel is left exposed to give contrasting tectonic with exposed brick. The courses of brick show variation as the brick is kept on edge in multiple courses to show an undulating linear pattern.

Not at all feasible- major loss. Not even break-even achieved
Profit made, but NPV is negative and IRR is less than hurdle rate, so not the best option
IRR is greater than hurdle rate, and NPV is positive. Requires to own the property for 10 years though.
IRR is greater than hurdle rate, and NPV is positive. Time to get returns is also very less. Best option for short term investment.
IRR

If the Hurdle/Discount Rate= 15%, Cases 3 and 4 have an IRR greater than the hurdle rate of 15%, therefore are the most profitable.
REAL ESTATE VALUATION [ AS PART OF REAL ESTATE ELECTIVE]
As part of the Quantifying Design Elective, the students had to select an academic project and had to analyse it from the perspective of a real estate developer.

ABOUT
The site for this project is situated in a remote village, Gondpipri which is near a dam. Thus, the village and its surrounding areas have been experiencing floods since the past few years. There are schools in the nearby villages but due to flooding in the rainy season, children can’t access them. To deal with this issue, this space acts as a disaster shelter apart from being a school and a community centre for the villagers. The roof of the school has been made accessible so that in case of flooding, people can be sheltered and rescued from there.

BRICKS BEHIND THE CLICKS
THE EFFECT OF E-COMMERCE ON THE URBAN FORM AND FABRIC [ GROUP OF 6 ] This study aims to understand the spatial implications of e-commerce. Although an expeditious growing industry, e-commerce has been traditionally studied in relation to employment, government policies, and transformation in technology, with little regard to its physical ramifications. Through our literature review, we studied into the interrelations of the aforementioned factors and e-commerce, realizing that, Amazon.in is a major innovator and market shareholder in the industry, which has substantial implications. Furthermore, we did a geographical analysis of Amazon’s model and undertook a detailed study of its distribution nodes and policies, which we then analyzed and overlaid with the existing infrastructure space. The data inferred equipped us to understand that e-commerce is not an entity in isolation, but is part of a dynamic and mutualistic relationship with infrastructure, government policies and technological developments thereby enabling the complex web of networking to function. The larger implication of this correlation is that e-commerce is rooting deeper into the very physical, virtual as well as subconscious aspects of the society, thus acting as an invisible hand shaping the city.

EXPLORATION OF THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE INTERFACE IN THE CONTEXT OF INDIAN PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Public buildings are part of the public realm and are meant to be open and accessible to all, but in reality, many remain disconnected from the public. The transitional interface has a significant role to play in this, as it shapes the character of the public built, and how people perceive its degree of accessibility. The research aims to analyse the factors which have a greater impact on the porosity and perception of the public-private transitional interface which exists in Indian public buildings. The objective of the study has been to understand the significance and impact of this transitional edge on how the public built is perceived in terms of being accessible and approachable. Through the literature review, the parameters affecting this interface have been identified. The selected case studies of public buildings in Delhi were analysed using these parameters. In addition, a survey was conducted to assess how people feel about the approachability of these buildings based on their boundaries. A coherence was observed between the literature reviewed and the findings from the case studies and surveys. It was concluded that the parameters of ownership and control, boundary conditions and the visual relationship between the public and private have a combined influence on the perceived approachability of the building. Therefore, for any public building to effectively integrate with the public realm, it is extremely important to strike a balance between the sense of restriction and allowance through its edge.

The settlement redesign required us to develop the design as per the future needs and livelihood of the Van Gujjars. We designed a cheese making retreat and factory, which would allow tourists to know more about the cheese-making process and the lifestyle of the Van Gujjars. Apart from that, the cheese made in the facility can be sold to nearby towns, therefore giving this tribe a stable source of income.
