MASTERS IN ARCHITECTURE DESIGN POLITECNICO DI MILANO | ITALY My work in post graduate school has been characterized by conceptual and technological experimentation within a suite of emerging and traditional design ideas whilst my work as a professional dealt with hands on site experience and large scale public programs. A common theme within much of this work is the production of landscape and development of intermediate public spaces by interventions either architectural, modular or urban design. I have organized the portfolio to represent my personal growth as an Architect and my keen interest in designing for the people and in public realm. I seek and wish to serve the humanity through the medium of innovative designing.

Urban Infrastructure and Basic Amenities are the key dynamics of Urbanization and thereby make the backbone of a thriving City. The city has grown from a mere 10km stretch (City Centre) to a 50km stretch (Suburban) due to immense pressure by the city developers the urban villages are getting compromised and are forced to abandon their homes. The Project aims at providing basic urban infrastructure for such urban villages and its communities thereby safeguarding there interests and profession as well as promoting cultural and traditional growth in the development. The proposal includes strategically identifying a space in the urban context for viable fishing industry along with mixed use functions and flexible spaces. The fish market with its close proximity to the village can help the Koli people flourish and revive its traditional occupation.

Eastriver area is located in North eastern zone of Milan, along the waterway that connects the Martesana to the Tombon de san Marco. One can reach the historical center of the Milanese capital, passing through avant-garde neighborhoods & historic buildings of the hidden Milan. The proposed project is a Social housing project for rejuvenating the abandoned site and the river. Due to weird shape of the site the project is conceived with a masterplan of two different volumetric forms. The linear building is designed to accomodate families while the tower accommodate the younger generation along with multiple social activities. The Landscape binds the masterplan together with carefully organized lombardy poplar plantations which are mainly found in the region. The landscape amidst the buildings creates various different views as one walks by the River along the project.

The proposed project is a townhouse for an artist in the heart of Milan. The city know as a fashion capital although in one of the most culturally oriented country demanded for more than just a regular townhouse design. The proposal aims majorly at segregation of the three different functions Gallery Space, The Studio, and the house. The building is designed to cater to varied functions from making it public to private upon the will of the owner and thus provide the needed flexibility in a constrained site. The approach is to design a simple yet elegant structure which does exuberate the dynamism of an artist from Milan with its minimally carved out angles yet is grounded to its root with the exposed materials and the simple plan and internal layout. The Courtyard provides for ample amount of light and wind yet has been climatically designed to withstand the hard climate in an deep narrow site.

Reclaiming the railways is one of the challenges of the future of Milan because they are a great opportunity to spin the center and suburbs and a great opportunity to significantly increase public green. A citywide public consultation to transform over one million square meters of brown field into improved urban areas. The proposal was developed upon careful investigation of Milan as a city, Its pros and its cons. There was a general strategy developed for all the railways yards at Macro Level and then site specific at Micro Level. The aim was to deliver an urban green public space which could be an amalgamation of the historic city as well as a futuristic powerhouse of Italy. The project incorporates public participation for raising funds, Sustainable development of Infrastructure, strategic planning and segregation of functions.

The proposal for this part of Piacenza is aimed at elevating social, ecological & sustainable aspects of the city. Introducing mixed use functions for neighborhood improves the quality of life for the residents of Piacenza on the basis of the ParangolĂŠ Concept developed by urban think tank. The proposal is based on the idea of movement, rhythm, pattern and sustainability to achieve efficient mobility, densification, good urban spaces and brings back nature to the city. The proposal incorporates various mixed use buildings like sports infrastructure, social activity spaces like cafe, restaurants alongside the central nature corridor and an increase in residential density. An elevated bicycle path and bridges to enhance connectivity and mobility within the neighborhood. The central green space becomes the spine for infrastructure with rain water collecting tanks and bridges with solar panels whilst transforming into the ecological center of Piacenza.

Urban Infrastructure and Basic Amenities are the key dynamics of Urbanization and thereby make the backbone of a thriving City. Pune being a part of the 100 smart cities list in India has needs to revitalize its infrastructure as well as provide smart solutions for the smart city initiatives The project aims at carrying out survey of one of the upcoming areas and its streets. Selecting the prime backbone of this part of the city and thereby transforming it to keep up with the pace of booking commercial and residential projects in its vicinity. The proposal includes providing ample space for the growing traffic in an organized way, providing hawkers zone which is a big menace in the Indian cities and better planning of the entire street with street furniture and infrastructure. The proposal also caters to using of a new website and app that could be used by the citizens for grievances & complaints related to streets.

Civil Hospital is said to be the Asia’s largest hospital and medical institutional campus. The entire masterplan as been divided into 3 packages. The housing facility is under the broader masterplan as package II. The housing facility is planned as a whole part of the masterplan for doctors and students working and studying in the hospital. The masterplan consists of residential quarters of various types like 3bhk, 2bhk, staff quarters, married post graduate hostel and UG hostel. There are various other amenities building like substation and water pumping station etc. The masterplan is designed along a central green spine. The central spine is the focal point in design and forms an axis to all adjoining road networks and building centrals courts. All blocks in the masterplan are so designed that they form a cluster and are repeated throughout the masterplan.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The masterplan contains 65 buildings in total varying from hostel facities, apartments, mess to individual dean bungalows and sports facitilies. The central landscape forms the backbone of the masterplan in segregating the staff apartments from the students hostel. The buildings are
