About Me. I am continuously inspired by new challengets by pushing beyond the boundaries of standard ways of thinking and doing things. I enjoy conversing with people who are responsible for communicating ideas to the world.... Design has taught me to open myself up to visually evaluate every object in lfe uniquely. It is this indescribable innate passion within me that verwhelms me to relentlessly foray into newer paths and follow into the footsteps of those who haven’t been able to chnnel their ideas into creativity and expectantly into bigger results.

02 Morphoskin. a kinetic pop-up store -M.Design -group project 16 weeks
brief. Ray-Ban is looking for the designers to create a portable and experiential event pop-up store for a series of sponsored events scheduled to happen all over the country. A kinetic track system is devised where the position of the fin on tracks results in arcs that vary in height and span. To make a kinetic system a series of mechanisms were tried where arcs are created ,starting with a homogeneous material that return to their original flattened state after removal of the force, or separate structural members with different skin coverings.
Track mechanism
Position of base point of arc on track
Fin / Covering Roofing material - homogeneous or skin + structure
min clear height- 8'
Tracks for movement
When a fin moves tracks, the resultant arc varies in height and span depending on the position of the ends on the tracks. With an intention to develop a structure that deforms on application of a mechanical force, an attempt was made to use this to develop a system that uses tracks to provide a defined motion. With the ultimate intention of making a kinetic system a series of mechanisms were where arches are created ,starting with a homogeneous material that return to their original flattened state after removal of the force, or separate structural ribs with different coverings.

03 Quadror.
modular aggregation -M.Design -group project 16 weeks
brief. The project deals with geometrical exploration of a structural joint named Quadror. The system explores various parameter to establish and understand the geometry. The joint was further explored within the context of aggregation concept. Aggregation referred as self organizing unit to form stable structures.

The geometry is about interlocking blocks, self standing units. A basic module is made from 4 identical Lshaped units. The L- shaped units has a fixed relation with its dimension. Experiments were conducted to understand the set quadror geometry to further use in design exploration. Variation of sizes and angles were generated to understand the role of proportion. The system is an efficient system in itself providing possibility of exploring the form. The system works on fixed parameter and its geometry defines clear evaluation.

Quadror Aggregation
Aggregation as a system deals with self organizing modules, which holds eachother with interlocking systems. As the quadror module inhibits property of interlocking, the study of movement of the moule was a parameter to be evaluated. Also its quality of light weight, avaialibility for stacking space were various parameter which could be studied.
The pattern was interlocking within its horizontal surface, as the load transfer with stacking is equally distributed it helps in stacking.
The introduction of spokes in the module added to the possibility of its vertical stacking. Every module interlocked because of the behaviour of the spokes.
50mm
Module iterated in order to make it better interlockable.
Design (Context: Railway Station)
As per the given context of a railway station, inferences were drawn from the above experiments. The design combined all the parameters and formulated a space in response to the above derived outputs. The design was formulated to achieve open spaces and clear circulation pattern on the platforms for the user. As the above measured fitness criterias deals with minimum stacking requirement in opposed to the volume scooped out, the space was designed so as to achieve maximum open volumes with minimum number of modules to achieve maximum stability.
Design (Context: Railway Station)
Real-time design
The size of the module is the key factor in stacking possibility. Agrregation system attains its stability by the conhesive interlocking within modules that could be attained with a size of the module to around 100mmx 240mm. The module could be made with mdf and various other plastic material which could remain durable and even have less self weight.
Manufacturing As the requirement of the no. of modules would require mass production, a manufacturing process has to be set to develop the modules. One such system that could be used to manufacture modules could be injection-molded granulates. This process requires a moding for the modules and thus the overall speed of the construction could be accelerated.
04 Re-generation.
of handloom weaver’s colony -B.Arch. -indvidual project 20 weeks
brief. The aim of the thesis is to gain a greater understanding of the use, functions and potential improvements of work based informal settlements with the mechanism of conservative approach with the intervention of the specific solution to the problem, with the focus on Rewri Talab, Banaras. It intends to look at finding the new ideas for the rehabilitation than following the generic solutions present in the existing policies and guidelines.

06 Abbu’s Cafe. a food joint
-Work Experience -indvidual project 10 weeks
brief. Abbu’s is a chain of cafe’s that serve kebabs, rolls and biryanis. The client wanted a speicific theme to be followed as it is in other cafe’s but a little different from the rest telling about Old Delhi’s history. Thus, inclusion of arches in elevtion can be seen.

07 Landmark Hotel. Room Design -Work Experience -indvidual project 4 weeks
brief. The landmark Hotel in Nepal, owned by CG Group has a building with first five floors as a shopping mall and the rest as a hotel. The hotel design was taken by Incubis and the brief was to design it in a very minimilastic way. The colour theme was taken as simple and creativity was shown in planning spaces and designing surfaces.
