ONTOLOGY OF A VOID THE MAKING OF A HYPERCOMMODITY University Of Mumbai
2016
Thesis - Academic Work
The festival of Lord Ganesh has been a rather facination one fueled by the questions of its Simulations and Simulacra ,The Object that is the idol has taken the form of a HYPERCOMMODITY and urges the architecture and built environment to change its ontological appearance for the 11 days of its festivities. The aim of the Thesis was to Predict what infrastructure would a HYPERCOMMODITY such as the idol of Lalbaug would require and speculate a future for its festivities , its politics and its ontological explorations. Thus we arrive at Ontology of a Void the making of a Hypercommodity.

HOUSING : THE HOUSE THAT GREW

A RESORT OF SORTS
University Of Mumbai 3rd Year - Academic Work
2013
Divide into 3 parts this projects deals with 3 modern day necessities that urge human civilization to build a resort and inhabit it for their commodified needs. A Love Hotel , A Park and an architypal Resort. Each of these units have a Common kitchen , A small garden and pools . The idea is to sell a commodity in order to simplify why a resort is needed in the first place. Do we relax , procreate , fornicate or sleep . These are the questions that one must provide while building a resort . Apart from the divisions the resort in its aesthetic and visual mass seeks to be sublime in order to spark only the needs of the person and not a form induced feeling of anything.The patrons are incouraged to grow , sleep and even claim happiness within the resort.

GAUDI BOX
Antoni gaudis works could be considered as an unusual formal transformation of grids and structural logics of nature. His bone gothic structures bring about an interesting way of segmenting grids. Many a times he refered to the onset of nature as the driver of from and not a higher entity. His trust in natural ways of form finding would lead him down a path which could allow him to per-

form transformations in form to an extent that his structures seemed to be grown. The project involved the formal movement of grids to attain a form.This form was to be then worked upon further by adding the factorts of pulling or pushing certain points on set grid.

Architecture embeds its essence into its materials and its objects , one such object that would go on to affect the memories of most middle class indian families is the story of the terrazo tile . its rampant and wide spread use in housing projects and government housing projects from the late 80’s to the early 90’s have left a significant mark on its users and occupants. most recall its texture , and some even
