Museum Museums form an integral part of
urbanscapes. They are perhaps one of the most interactive building typologies .

The process of documenting a rural
settlement helped us understand life in a village. Our team documented the visual aspects of Ariakudi , a small village in Sivaganga district , Tamil Nadu.

2 Rural Documentation
*Documented by a team of four people . My role was to sketch and paint .
Rural School Set in the backdrop of rural
Ariakudi in Chettinad , the school was designed based on ‘ mitham ’ , the traditional central courtyard common to the area . The school was designed as a series of staggered courtyards , with the classrooms arranged around them.

Workshop
I attended a worskop conducted
by Ar. Durganand. Being a dying craft , the workshop aimed at creating awareness about Athangudi tiles that are popular in Chettinad .
Made using sustainable materials , they are best suited for hot tropical climates as they have a cooling effect. We also learnt sustainable construction of plywood furiture.
Day 1 :
Mixing colour and pouring in moulds , making Athangudi Tiles
Day 2 :
Process of making Plywood Furniture from both used and fresh ply

Resort
Site Plan
Concept
A resort is a getaway from the monotony of our busy lives . The site near Pondicherry was surrounded by water on three vsides , thus making water an integral part of the planning.
Maximising views to the sea , and creating an ambience befitting a resort were the main challenges of the project
Main block Banquet Hall Amphitheatre Health club Spa Viewing deck Restaurant Villas
Pool view villas
Various contours were designed on the site. Each villa was placed on a raised mound ,while the main block was placed on a raised platform. This created views to the sea from every part of the resort .

DESIGN ENTRY 2013
Art Art can be a very powerful medium of expression. These are a few sketches I did. The medium always varied . A mixture of water colour , pen and ink , charcoal , and colour pencil .

Library One of our initial academic projects , the reading room was designed to provide an experience of being elgulfed by light on all sides . This was done by placing the reading rooms centrally in a light well , one above the other .

IT Building A project we designed in the 7th semester, the building was designed to provide the office-goer a constant connect with Nature. Sky bridges and grass mounds were incorporated to make the design more interesting. Equal focus was given to the recreational zones like the food court and the auditorium.
