WhatME?kind of Designer am I?
What’s Architecture to me? Blend between disciplines.
How good am I working in a team? I believe in taking criticism as a constructive way to scrutinize and be precise in what I do. An outside perspective can help gain a different view on the existing ideology opening up new uncharted design solutions. I enjoy sharing ideas and my thought process while designing for a better output.

Prototyping and iterating till I get the desired results is my go-to method. When exposed to a design problem, I try my best to ideate the possible outcomes and brainstorm with fellow designers to narrow down and focus on potential solutions, thus delivering a justified practical arrangement.

Junior Architect I have dealt with complex architectural projects during my internship in Spacematters(Delhi, India) and my time as a Junior Architect in Studio D Cubed(Chennai, India)
Junior Architect & Freelancing Architect I was directly involved in several residential interiors under the supervision of Architect Benny Kuriakose and Architect Arvind V. Ram and as a freelancer, I designed the Vajra Global marketing office interiors.
Integrated Studio Project I have been doing Furniture design right from my bachelor’s period, but I had a chance to get a deeper understanding during my master’s in MAID Program since I was involved in the design studio with other product designers.
As Freelancing Architect Documenting project was first introduced to me during my bachelor’s period and effectively practiced during and after my internship. I Still try to document every single work I do.
My heartfelt gratitude to Architect Amritha Ballal Architect Arvind V. Ram Architect Saranya Gunasekaran Prof. Mito Mihelic Prof. Fredrik Skåtar Prof. Dr. Manuel Kretzer for leading me through my academic and professional lives. I would not have gotten to where I am now if it hadn’t been for them.

The only approach to improve storm seepage and prevent floods in the area is to restore and preserve the lake. Providing a defined lake boundary minimizes waste dumping and further encroachment, and this lakefront development is one method to accomplish it. Graduate Work

Existing condition Domestic wastes form a landfill which eventually turns into a potential spot for encroachment.
Approach Relocating people also means that the lake is now open to public eyes. The unpleasant state of the lake will be a sore sight to the public and eventually, measures will be taken to clean and restore it. Why preserve the Lake? Horizontal housing development in the area leads to the lack of open spaces for social interaction. By creating a lakefront development we solve this problem.
Movement The lakefront development people from all classes dwell movement of people from
Creating cohesion Rehabilitating the encroached houses helps opening up the currently enclosed dying lake.

Studio D Cubed, Chennai
2018 As a junior architect at Studio D Cubed, I was heavily involved in the concept development of buildings and the creation of architectural layouts.
Facade design has always struck me as an intriguing aspect of the design problem. I spent a lot of time breaking down the problem and coming up with appropriate facade design ideas.
04
During this time, I was mentored by Architect Arvind V. Ram of Studio D Cubed (Chennai). I learned to concentrate on one topic at a time in order to get better design results.
Anand Residence is an example of a design where a lot of thought went into the architectural plan in order to highlight the double-height areas and make the whole thing more dynamic. When the interior of the house is given such prominence, it’s only fair to design the exterior suitably, therefore we came up with numerous design alternatives. As an alternative to the parametric brick exterior, a more sophisticated and sharp metal and glass with a stone finish was chosen for the facade.
Workflow
The residence took four months to design and build.
The design approach begins with a volume analysis and progresses to a basic 2d plan while simultaneously developing a 3d model in SketchUp to see how real-time adjustments in 2d effect the structure’s volume.

After the concept derivation and volume analysis, the final model was done in three days and presented with renders and sections.
I made the public zone more accessible by placing them on the lower levels of the building and made the staff lounge, locker room, and other private zones with restricted access.
The public zone includes Reception, Pharmacy, Vending machine, Pantry, store, open lawns, washrooms.

Maintaining work-life balance during work from home Kadee_Vaal (tamil language) means Blinkers. The product can be accessed using a mobile app that has simple yet effective functionalities such as changing the color of the atmospheric lighting and denoting when a set timer runs out of time. This denotes the user to move on to the next task thus helping in developing a routine.
The wide blinker helps block any distraction when the user is within the blinker and also helps focus on the specific task. It can be folded back to save space and allow the others in the house about the availability of the user. When spread wide it acts as a marker that the user is under the work zone thus stopping others from distracting them. It is built us ing sound-absorbing material thus helping in moder ate levels of noise distraction. It has the potential to have add-on ANC thus improvising on the existing noise reduction capabilities.

With that motivation, research for design solutions occurred automatically and ultimately lead to gaining new skills.
Interface Rhino I Grasshopper
Adaptable Facade
The method used to construct this facade is adaptable, and as you can see, most of the design elements may be adjusted, resulting in a different pattern by only changing a few values. Curves are created in Rhino and adjusting them changes the pattern. The density of the tween curves can be modified directly in the algorithm depending on the surface on which it will be utilized. Because design is subjective, the designer has the opportunity to choose the pattern that best suits his or her demands. The final result can be CNC machined into smaller parts and then assembled on an aluminum frame grid during installation.

Brief A collaborative course to learn the workflow to create a shop/ showroom for Virtual Reality. This course gave us an introduction to virtual reality. We discussed different types of VR devices, the soft ware, and notable projects to understand the charac teristics of VR. We had a hands-on technical intensive session week using Unity and Blender and learned how to gener ate, integrate and interact with 3D-Object in a Virtual World. In the end, we created a virtual showroom and as a special feature, it was for a Multi-User VR Experience.

93 04_Printing Furniture Prof. Dr. Manuel Kretzer Neela_Thirukkai A generative design that differs from the predominantly minimalistic forms of the previous Thecentury.Chair is ergonomically designed, the dimensions reflected here were taken from physical measure ments that were obtained from research on various existing market standard designs.
The printing bed allows us to print anything that is 1500 X 1000 X 1000 comfortably, and the overhang angle of the printer helps you go even further over the bed itself.
3D Object & Space
The chair is about 1500 X 940 X 840. The armrest is designed in such a way that it feels fluid and as a single element rather than breaking it into a separate feature. The chair gives one a uni-body look at first glance and it would be a perfect fit on a balcony for your evening read or even in a game room.
Comfortable sitting positions were analyzed by making physical models and the design was continuously scrutinized The form was further improvised upon user reviews, the height of the backsupport was increased in on such process and finally, the edges were made more defined and precise
The basic form was arrived analyzing various form factors from previous gen lawnchairs and from basic ergonomic values
The design was based on curves that were originally acquired from a physical examination of existing long chairs. The algorithm made in Grasshopper gives us the simple surface through the curves which we feed in Althoughthem.
The main factors that were addressed were the thickness of the nozzle which was 8mm which results in finer details to be blurred so the design has to be rather minimalistic instead of the patterns that were initially visualized.
The printed form was analyzed, knowing the limitations of the 3D printing technology the design was revised, and possible ways to print it were devised. The sharp edges and the bumps were treated so it doesn’t affect the user comfort.
Design Development Neela_Thirukkai
the design started to be printed in the wood composite material by BLB Industries, the idea of printing them as two different pieces to achieve the unique shape acquired over the design development stage is crucial, which takes us to further exposure to ABS material which is much more giving in terms of binding properties and does more justice to the Existing design.

The smart bucket combines the functions of a bucket and a shower head in one device. We anticipate that a 6-month awareness and advertising campaign will be required before presenting this product to the market to underline the necessity for it. We’ll also need to form partnerships with real estate agents and architectural firms to help sell the goods to customers. As a result, production and launch could take up to two years. 4000 Rupees is the price (40-50euros). For product manufacture, we may work with significant corporations like Jaguar, Cera, and Hindware.

After obtaining permission from my ex-boss to further edit the photos, I used Photoshop to remove the electric wires from the image, allowing the facade to be seen without obstruction.
Documenting our project, in my opinion, is just as vital as planning it. When you need to look back and assess the design process and how it turned out, documentation becomes a significant asset.

Photoshop to the rescue
We can see how basic post processing can make a big difference in a photo. And just how much it can improve a simple photo taken with a basic Android phone.
The following are some more samples from the same project. It’s a time-consuming task that involves precise Photoshop work and manual tweaking, but I believe the end results are always worth the effort.

Architectural Photography
Fascinated by the massive form and tedious ornamentation done in classical buildings kicks in my instincts to capture it but of course, I always document them in my essence and portray them the way I see them.

I started doing architectural visualization during the year 2013 and since then I have been actively involved in exploring new render engines keeping me updated with the market.
I make sure I am not driven by the software when designing rather I use them to the fullest to achieve what I aspire to.

I often conduct batch tutorial sessions for my school juniors to enrich them with what I learned through the years so that they are not inhibited by their unfamiliarity with the digital tools, The renders here are done during one such workshop.
