ARCHITECTURE
Hello! I am an architecture student, and I believe architecture to be an art form. I think space is the canvas, culture is the medium, and science is the tool to create art. My belief in the art theory unveils a creative process to design distinctively. I aspire to weave experiences in art and architecture.

Dream City NXT is an Integrated Mega Residential Township Project with an area of 75 acres. The project is designed for a population of 10,000 with the target user group as LIG and MIG residents.
The project consists of residential development along with social infrastructure such as office, retail, healthcare, education, and community facilities.
The Residential component consists of multi-family housing schemes, plotted development for HIG users, and flatted development for LIG and MIG users. The main focus of the project is towards the flatted development of the residential complex. The project is in the form of highrise urban development.

Fin Cafe
Academic Project: Year 1, Semester 2, 2019.
Location: Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, India.
FRONT ELEVATION [from beach]
Software: Twinmotion
The Cafe is an Art and a Museum; a Sculpture unfolds from the Beach, to exhibit an array of views.
The Fin displays the sea, what it sees, and under the sea, where it lives.
TOP VIEW [isometric]
Fin Cafe
Fin Cafe is on the coastal lines of Puducherry [French Capital of India]. Celebrating the multiple viewpoints of the cafe is one of the design elements.
‘Fin’ is derived from the sculptural quality of the cafe, appearing as an enormous fin emerging out of water. The journey takes around sixty meters of walk from the beach. The entry makes it look like a sculpture full of surprises where users come to explore the unknown.
Multiple viewpoints clubbed with varying perspectives does a play of views. The cafe is in two parts. One way goes up looking at the blue skies, over the sunrise and the city from the same point. Another way goes under the sea looking at the blue hues.
Also, twisting staircases provide for the smooth transition to a new space and gradually reveal the surprise.

Architecture + Utopia
Competition: Utopia in Architecture, Henning Larsen Foundation, 2021.
Location: Earth.
Software: Twinmotion
New forces play with Gravity, Microgravity on Earth’s settings. The Earth and Space blend, to form a new world of Architecture. The home needs no floor or ceiling.
EARTH & SPACE
Discovery of planets in the cosmos
And elements in the periodic table, Present a new world of Architecture.
Earth’s gravity defines Architecture today, Space Architecture defies Gravity tomorrow. Architects and Physicists add a new dimension, Outer Space’s microgravity on Earth’s settings.
The Discovery of Anti-gravity is a blessing, New forces are invited to play with Gravity. The home relish the game of multiple gravities.
[POEM]
Variables at play are the planets and the elevation, Gravity is 3.7 m/s 2 on Mars and 1.6 m/s2 on Moon.
9.5 m/s 2 [100 km] and 7.3 m/s2 [1000 km] in Earth’s sky.
Gravity for the life systems, Anti-gravity for the living. The balance between the two, the Earth and Space Blends in the same landscape [or seascape].
Anti-matter is the new matter with negative mass, Inducing a field of microgravity to dip the resultant mass. Microgravity needs no floor or ceiling.
The weightless units float over the blue oceans, Under the blue skies.
OLD & NEW
Nature is precious to Earth and a museum to humanity, Nature’s Heritage and Humanity’s Vision is the new saying.
Twinkling in the sky, the new cities kiss the blue ocean, The new residences sail and unite with the shimmering ocean.
Balancing the matter with antimatter for a near to zero mass, The composition allows the new units to stay afloat in the sky.
Architecture has a new set of views, Volume is the new area as a prime unit of measurement, Force and field diagrams dictate the form of built units.
[POEM]
Forests, mountains and polar regions know no human, The habitats are secure for biodiversity to flourish. The desert is the workspace for resources and research.
Desert is the gateway to visit the ancestral hues of green. The link to the hues of sand is via the microgravity tunnel, And the sand links to the natural habitats of the planet.
Lack of friction and gravity provides an infinite travel range, The new means of travel uses zero energy to be set in motion.
The legacy of the gravity-microgravity blend is eternal, Colonies of Mars, Moon and Space adapt to the new system, And humanity tours the new world of freedom.

LA VIA DE VITA
Elini celebrates the diversity in culture, the juxtaposition of traditional and modern, and the enthusiasm to embrace the new while still staying rooted in the old values. Usually defined as slow, a train journey is also unpredictable. The starting and the ending points may be predetermined but the journey leads one through unexpected places and from unknown towns. The concept for the intervention is derived from this experience. Builtforms are derived by the contrasting elements of traditional and modern architecture.
Area
This area marks the entrance to the town of Elini. Since no changes to the former olive oil mill present there were allowed, a tourist information center is provided in a new intervention. The tower, which is essentially a stack of solid, transparent volumes also has viewing decks overlooking the town and its surroundings.

Mill Area
The information center mimics the existing olive oil mill in material use and creates a contrast with its modern form. The stacked volumes of the center allow varying degrees of visual connection owing to the alternating stone and glass facades. The roofing is inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region, whereas its towering structure, as compared to the surrounding context establishes it as an entry point into the town. The information center follows the same language as the rest of the interventions, with its circulation, marked distinctively, allowing it to fit into the whole narrative.

Additionally, the design also adopts vernacular architectural elements, reconstructing them with modern material to showcase the passage of time.
Railway
Designed as the focal point of the whole intervention, the museum and art school in the railway park create a strong contrast against neighboring buildings owing to their fluid form. Especially the roof of the structure, constructed using local materials like brick tiles, adds a dynamic element to the whole structure as a subtle nod to the forever-inmotion nature of the railways. Additionally, the design also adopts vernacular architectural elements, reconstructing them with modern material to showcase the passage of time.
