House of Nomad M. Arch, May 2021 | Prof. Lars Spuybroek | Group (2) Architecture Design Project

Redefining the social norms and functions of living in a home, this project moves with time to bring shifts in spaces, relationships, and programs. While the game is controlled by an algorithm, the users are permitted adaptations of the furniture placement to incorporate the ever-changing spaces. The challenge is not just to redefine residential norms but also evolve socially.

With no limits on claiming real estate within the game, the social dynamics can break apart groups or bring individuals together. There are 3 rules of the game that are executed by automated robots, controlled by the algorithm.

Unfastened M. Arch, December 2020 | Prof. Débora Mesa | Individual Architecture Design Project

An attempt to address the rising crisis of homelessness in Los Angeles, this project aims to provide a super quick and cheap transitional housing solution to fill the gap between futuristic availability of permanent housing being developed by the city and the present situation of rising homelessness. It also attempts to empower the homeless population by enabling them to build their own homes that provide the required necessities of privacy, stability, and communal environments. The life of a home in this project is short. Attempting to minimize time of construction and increase efficiency, these modular homes reside on existing infrastructure of the city, like a parasite. Using cost-effective and lightweight construction techniques as tools, this project proposes a construction system that can be packed and relocated to different sites as per availability and requirement.

Urban Incision M. Arch Portman Prize Studio - Finalist, April 2020 | Prof. Charles Rudolph | Individual Architecture Design Project

An incision into the existing building, and community on an urban scale, this project aims to maximize the materiality of the building by retaining the framework and facade while carving out parts of the floor and facade to introduce courtyards and openings respectively. Thus, stimulating the building from the inside. The introduction of timber, threads the program together by tying the seams between old and new. These seams terminate at a monumental reading hall, the alien insertion onto the historically stripped departmental store turned community library and art house. The three-dimensional diagrid insertion, built of glass and timber brings a dynamic quality to the facade and explicitly juxtaposes the old and new relationships within the building.

Urban Repose M. Arch, December 2019 | Prof. Michael Gamble | Individual Architecture Design Project

A game of light and shadow, solid and void, space and poche, this project is a projection of lines; from perpendicularly jagged to straight verticals. Adopting a tectonic system, excavation on the marshy site of the Tiber banks is followed by stacking of slabs and blocks of white marble, installed to deliver a seamless expanse of luminous space. The resulting sculpture serves as a monument, enabling the city to cherish life while reminiscing the dead.

RITUAL OF USE

When below ground, steering their way to or through the columbarium, with the play of shadows created by the overhead skylights and the Promenade, cut off from the sounds of the city, the visitor may lose themselves to the

sound of the river water flowing tranquilly. While exiting from the promenade, moving along the calming river allows reflection and contemplation before returning to the anarchic life.

Kunst Form The Memorial enveloping the sanctuary allows extension of the program beyond the gloom associated with death. The ability to literally replace the despondency with memorabilia transforms the mood of the space. Meanwhile, the soothing sounds of the river in the background transcend the visitor into a state of reflection.

Kern Form Traversing through space is achieved by means of way-finding, i.e. through stepping and navigating. A system of staggering blocks and columns generate spaces without the use of vertical walls.

Re-Humanizing Healthcare B. Arch Thesis, April 2018 | Prof. Shilpa Chandawarkar | Individual Architecture Design Project

‘The architecture of healthcare is not limited to the materials of construction and ease of functionality but extends to intangible aspects such as comfort, experience, ability to heal and empower, etc.; both of which together articulate a healing space.’

Hypothesis Research inquiry into healthcare environments and the requirements of a patient and their caregivers led to the identification of an urban crisis, absence of a healing environment. This project is a high density healing abode for low income cancer patients who temporarily migrate to Mumbai from rural areas for free treatment and are forced to seek housing in overly crowded lodging facilities that are absent of basic amenities and the considerations for a recovering family from the traumas brought on by the treatment along with the discomfort caused by temporary relocation from their homes. The proposal also includes a care center to provide aid and comfort to individuals undergoing similar traumas, caused by cancer.

The Camaraderie B. Arch, December 2016 | Prof. Abhijeet Doshi & Prof. Prateek Banerjee | Individual Architecture Design Project

High rises with no consideration for communal activities are a common sight in a metropolitan city.

Centered around a courtyard, which is brought to life by amenities and social activities, are 6 apartment buildings, designed with a connected rooftop which accommodates the clubhouse to promote cultural exchanges at not just the ground level but throughout the complex. The stepping of the building allows balconies on the court side while providing shade on the outside. The ‘courtyard’ acts as the nucleus of the complex, allowing a rich communal environment.

Svadhyaya Archstorming World Expo Pavilion | Team of 2 | Competition Entry - Top 50 finalist, June 2018

With no time to look back, the current world is consumed by a constant race against time. The practice of the age-old Indian art of meditation and yoga provides the opportunity to pause, introspect and discover our individual peace as we navigate through this journey.

As the birthplace of meditation and yoga, the Indian Expo Pavilion aims to bring to light the experience and relevance of these cultural practices in our modern lives to a world forum. It symbolizes the marriage of ancient culture with the present times. The conceptual loop of infinity consists of 2 circles that stand for the introversion and extroversion of the self. The physical and spiritual journey through the pavilion hopes to imprint the minds of the attendees with a transcending experience of the Indian way of life.

Mapping Worli Koliwada CEPT University Summer School with G5A | Foundation for Contemporary Culture with Kamalika Bose & Anuradha Parikh, May 2017 | Workshop (Urban Character Mapping & Solid Waste Management Team)

Vibrant communities lie at the heart of dynamic and resilient neighborhoods and cities. Mumbai’s urban villages, or gaothans, are historically endowed with a rich social and cultural capital leading quiet yet disconcerted existences. Struggling to fit into the mosaic of the city’s contemporary urban culture is Worli Koliwada, one of the earliest fishing villages in Mumbai. We worked in groups, to interact closely with the local community to enable qualitative research and impressionistic mapping. Dove-tailing into G5A CityLAB’s ongoing work on developing a participative and inclusive model for neighborhood governance, with a current focus on Solid Waste Management in the Worli Koliwada, we additionally looked into aspects of the physical neighborhood, livelihoods, heritage, culture, and memories - and their changing patterns with time.
