01 1232 Broadway Columbus, GA Summer 2013 MIDC, Auburn University

1232 Broadway seeks to attract visitors with interests in adventure sports, while providing a place for nightlife, and office space for business during daytime activities.

It has bar, restaurant, and a climbing wall on the first floor, small offices on the second floor, and a large open office space on the third floor.

Prefabricated structure was evaluated as an option for type of construction. The cost of prefabricated structure, constraint with respect to site conditions and restriction in design due to its modular nature drove the project towards traditional structure with steel and concrete. Construction cost, capital budget pro-forma, and cash flow was also worked out for the project.

02 Itinerant

Columbus, GA Spring 2013 MIDC, Auburn University

Street art is a juxtaposition of cultural idols of the past and icons of today. This project ‘Itinerant’ is an incubation chamber for such innovations. A mobile art gallery was designed and built for art festival at Columbus, GA called ‘Art-Beat’. A used 20 feet shipping container was converted into an art gallery which was used to showcase art at Art-Beat festival. The container was placed at downtown Columbus in the middle of a median where people could just walk in and appreciate art. Designing and then fitting out a shipping container was both a design and construction challenge.

04 Mediatecture Research Institute Nagpur, India 4th Year Design Studio, 2008 B. Arch, VNIT

As part of the Mediatecture Research Institute, this is Institute for Virtual Media in Architecture. The project was a brown field development at Nagpur, India. The institute has four departments providing study and research on - Virtual Media in Architecture, Aural Architecture, Illumination in Architecture and Interactive Architecture. In this institute the most permanent and spatially defined of disciplines – `Architecture’ – meets the most ephemeral and placeless – `Media’. The institute highlights the use of various media - touch, light, sound etc. The use of various technologies and ideas is reflected as the philosophy of Mediatecture in planning and form of the design.

05 Sai Baba Temple Complex Silvassa, India 5th Year Thesis, 2009 B. Arch, VNIT

Sai Baba Temple Complex is a proposed project for followers of Shri Sai Baba. Site is spread across 34,000 sqm with natural contours having steep slope at one point, This steep slope has been used judicially in the location and design of the temple.

The design is based on ancient principles of Vaastu Purush Mandala, circles, square, fire and water. Circulation was a major challenge in this project as this temple complex would handle a huge amount of human traffic everyday, more on Thursdays and few special occasions. Water has been extensively used as it is considered auspicious and pure in Hindu religion. Shrine itself is located in a monumental shell structure which forms the main temple.

301, DLF Emporio, New Delhi, India | March 2010 Client: Meera and Muzaffar Ali | Architect: Shashank & Kislay Project Area: 1000 sqft Project Cost: $40,000

Kotwara was a interior design project for a fashion store. The project area of 1000 sqft was completed in 5 months along with all services. Highlight of the project is intricate wood work on ceiling and panels.

Fashion label ‘Meera Ali’ sells traditional Indian wear and so the design was intended to be traditional wood work. All wood work was mostly done in workshop and assembled on site. The design was communicated mostly through hand sketches except for MEP drawings. Every piece of this store was custom designed to last detail including the door handle.

Design of the food court and flow of space resembled to that of a dragon where as the bar and restaurant was a contemporary design with black and white theme on walls and changing colored light in ceiling and floors. The wall panel in the restaurant fade from black to white and again to black using different size of solid wood painted in black and white. Few of these wood panels is replaced by a backlit acrylic panel to give the dramatic effect.

08 Safdarjung Hospital

New Delhi, India | Competition Entry Client: MoHFW | Architect: Mathur and Kapre Associates Project Area: 158, 579 sqm Estimated Project Cost: $ 500 Million

`Redevelopment of Safdarjung Hospital’ was an international competition for redesigning an existing hospital. Safdarjung Hospital is the flagship hospital of India’s public sector health care institutions. It is poised to be the largest hospital of its kind in the world, providing world class medical services to patients, free of cost. Thoughtful design was imperative, demonstrated by ideas like trying to make the experience less tiring by reducing walking distances from the entrance and different departments. The architecture was to express the grandeur and nobility of public enterprise, an Indian hospital designed for Indian social structures, personal relationships, and modes of care giving.

09 AWHO Bangalore

Bangalore, India | April 2013 Client: AWHO | Architect: Mathur and Kapre Associates Project Area: 30 Acre Project Cost: $120 Million

Army Welfare Housing Organization (AWHO) project was a high rise residential apartment building complex built for Indian army officers. This project consists of 1524 apartments spread over 30 acre in 29 towers of basement+ground+15 floors each.

Planning of the towers is in the form of a curve, touching site setbacks on all sides, to maximize the ground coverage. Each apartment has been designed in such a way that atleast 3 sides of the apartments have windows opening outside. Major challenge in this project was to keep the cost as low as possible whereas maintaining the quality and tight schedule so that it could be delivered on time.

10 Understanding Form Bike design for four people 2nd Year Design Studio, 2005 B. Arch, VNIT

The task here was to design a bike for four people to be abe to ride together. The bike was supposed to fall if left unsupported, which means it was supposed to have all wheels in one line. Bike shown here has teo saddle seats and two bucket seats. The front wheel, used for turning, is connected by two cable to the handle. All cables for brakes and wheels run inside the frame to give a clean look.

Duality in Architectural form 2nd Year Design Studio, 2005 B. Arch, VNIT

The task was to understand Duality in Architectural Form through simple forms. Here I chose a Cube and Cylinder as a positive and negative mass and gave the form a Spiral look.

Although the basic form of the Cube is retained and is clearly visible as an outline, the Spiral shape can be felt and seen in the elevation, whereas the negative Circular space is clearly visible in the plan. The final shape demonstrates the idea of Dualism.
