Working with the renowned firm “Morphogenesis� helped me to understand the design process of a project. It allowed me to enhance my presentation skills along with the physical translation of the same. Work on a variety of projects mainly residences, allowed me to explore the minute details of construction as well as aesthetics. Construct

Three villas for three owners on a single site, designed in a manner such that no privacy is compromised & yet the three villas behave as one single villa by virtue of its mass. Being a west facing site the front of the house has been designed as solid faรงade yet complementing the over all aesthetics of the house. GRC jalli is used as an aesthetic & sun shading element in south, west & east side. 2

BRINGING ORDER FROM CHAOS
M.Arch in Sustainable Architecture, CEPT University (2012-2014)
The project is to design three auditoriums & the foyer area for the well known cinema brand PVR cinemas. The challenge was to design the space sufficing all the bye laws & sight lines; & using maximum available carpet area, without compromising on the aesthetical front. Working as a chief architect on such a project as allowed me to learn maximum of the construction aspects of the project.

Foyer design
The design proposal for PVR Panipat amalgamates the longestablished with the nouveau resulting in an expression laden with abstract meaning and striking visual experience. PVR Panipat renders this complex topic of deriving the new from the old while providing for an aesthetic access to entertainment. In doing so, it seeks to unfold the various aspects of the topic including the underlying chaos and traditions in an average man’s daily life while creating an environment that addresses him on different sensual levels.

CADEMIC WORK
School of Planning & Architecture (2005-2010)
5 years of architecture in School of Planning and Architecture was the starting of my Architectural quest rather than an achievement. I believe being in SPA gave me an advantage over others in my field as under the guidance of highly qualified and experienced faculty members my sensitivity towards design process grew to a mature level. Being it a socio cultural centre, a school design , a full fledged housing project or the final thesis project, every project was backed with relevant research, seminars & workshops. This practice has guided me throughout my professional life & has taken my design sensibilities to the next level. M.Arch in Sustainable Architecture, CEPT University (2012-2014)

“The new office routine”
The hypothesis of the project is to develop a typology in the domain of office complexes where offices are no longer only a cluster of mundane buildings serving as workplace for the competitive workers but also catering to today’s demands of 24x7 flexible work culture, socially interactive spaces integrated with recreational , cultural and leisure opportunities. The project tries to envisage an module that bridges the present resources with future demands. This project at one hand looks into the city core, its architecture, organization and legibility pertaining to the larger audience and their aspirations. On the other hand, it is an attempt to use the primary architectural tools i.e. the form, circulation, & open built relation, to change the typology of the work space.

Volume study (Software used: Sketchup)
The site chosen was in Gurgaon amidst typical tall buildings with residential as well as commercial land use. The site is dissected by the Delhi Metro line, hence reinforce the strong context & provide opportunity to respond to it with design strategies.

URBAN DESIGN STUDIO (AUGUST – DECEMBER 2009) Project: Water based urban intervention Location: Delhi Site area: 40 acre Built up area: 100000 sqmt. Studio Professor: Ar. Sambudha Sen, Ar.

The availability and yet the non availability of water is a discussion that has never lost its charm. Our fifth year exercise was based on rejuvenating Delhi’s Nullahs & bring about ecological stability on the urban front. The project called for the development of a special scheme for a site which shall be contained or in proximity of one or more Delhi’s natural drain (Nullah) basin, bringing out the utility of water as the base of development. The exercise was backed by a detail study of Delhi water supply and drainage system. Understanding the present scenario of water system & using the same as social element along with optimizing its functional use was our focus for the exercise. 16

• Delhi can be broadly categorize in 5 basin. The site lies in the north basin, i.e Alipur basin. • The site is in the proximity to the Wazirabad barrage Yamuna, and Oxidation pond and two Nallahs, namely the Radio colony drain and the Najafgarh drain. . • At the site level, our interventions tries to use water as a social element that binds the context and becomes the base of development which seems to be overlooked in present scenario.

Project: Urban Design, Revisiting Delhi Nullahs, (August- December (2009)
Translation of Design interventions •Water being the basis of the interventions: •Almost dead oxidation ponds were to be revived in form of traditional “Ghats”
•Yamuna barrage, was to be the celebrated entrance gateway to Delhi by proposing aqua museum & prominent architectural structures while maintaining the visual connectivity from barrage. •The heavy traffic movement at the barrage was proposed to be shifted to one level up & connecting it to the upcoming signature bridge. The vacant floor of the barrage was to be converted in to a river front hotel. Terrace of the hotel was to be utilized as a green pedestrian friendly open space. •An urban weave along the drain was proposed that physically connects the disparate regions (Wazirabad village & Gopalpur ) Also the roof of the weave provides Kilometres of green space favorable for pedestrian movement.
“Urban weave”, A proposed spine, containing functions beneath it, and physically connects the disjointed area disected by the drain.

Minimize the foot prints on land Creating more land that occupied after every 6 floors
The brief of the project was simple and precise: ‘ Housing for 2050’. The project opened tremendous opportunities to design, explore, innovate and improvise. The aspect of future needs brought in a number of issues that had to be addressed while a lot others that had to be considered.
Social interaction reduces
The translation process started with anticipation of issues such as accommodation of growing population, favorable spaces for social interaction and social sustainability, energy optimization, providing ground space for agriculture by reducing building footprint and creating land at multiple levels while at the same time not compromising on the quality of built structure. Interventions were based on a detailed study of climate, sun-movements, wind patterns and ecological models and involving the use of technologies such as RFID tags in laundry systems. Need for social sustainability

Project: Housing design for year 2050, (August- December (2008)
Design Strategies and Evolution
• In regular housing units the tendency of coming down & enjoy the open green spaces reduces as one goes further up. • This have a direct negative impact of the on the social interaction among people • Our housing tries to create public floors with favorable microclimate so to encourage people to come out & enjoy green spaces
Typical housing block typology

Project: Housing design for year 2050, (August- December (2008)
Site planning
•A housing module is devised such that the module occupy minimum space on ground leaving the ground free for agriculture and other open space utilization. •By recreating land more than occupied after every six floors the housing blocks encourage people to come out of their houses, enjoy open green spaces and encourage social interaction at the same time. •Heights increases from south to north to gain south sun on community terraces during winter season.
