‘The art of molding a space into a sensible form of character is what it does’ As an artist I am always fascinated by the individuality that one creates in their own style

1.WATCHING LEVELS
The idea is to explore the interconnectivity at different levels .The Link that we see here is directly connected to the environment and the people around the space owing to the dynamic movement of people in MG Road. Hence the space acts like a transit that connects levels at all dimensions Top: Process Model showing connections in 3D Bottom : MG Road street view Painting depicting connections in 2D

Multiple Entry/Exit portals
Conceptual explorations in terms of evolution of structures as an adaptation to future expansion
Separating the core
The project started with questioning the existence of metro station in MG road in conjunction to parade ground and whether that promoted the disconnect of the ground from the site in the present scenario. Therein the quality of the ground as a puncture in the context was taken up to the site so as to extablish useful connctions

Abstraction through Form, Levels and Connectivity. Considering the site as a breathing space amongst the lined up masses in MG road and Church street hence contributing to a sense of open deisgn. Concepts explored include Illusion ,Space making ,Solid Void,Pubic realm, democracy in space,Skylight and greenbelt
2.QUARRYSCAPES
RELATION | INTERWOVEN |WITHIN
The project expresses the continuous dialogue between man and nature and how he accepts the prominence of nature herself in view of the quarry that is in the site and is brought into the design to play a distinct role in the learning process.
I can be calm Serene, sought for. But careful I can rage over distressed and daring I can take you in too
PROJECT : Hotel Management Institute SITE : Bettahalasooru STUDIO : VI SEM
The scarcity of life is seen as one approaches the Quarry about how it ends with just empty barren land that had been exploited over time

3.TRAILS Trails are individual narratives. Each trail contains a character of its own.This project identifies different trails that run through the entire site , some even connecting the existing ones that were left behind into a new set of paths that run in and out of the built as if there was no definitive order and even are experimental in creating new settings of divergence or mutiple endings
Evolution of trails Trails seen as a continuation or an extension Conceptual diagrams representing Transparency, functional corridors and centrality
PROJECT : Research institute SITE : Madikeri STUDIO : VII SEM
Ridges and valleys in the site
