Affordable Transient Housing, LA Research + Design | M. Arch

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.

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.

733 S Hill St.

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

per

availability

While the game is controlled by an algorithm, the users are permitted adaptations of the furniture placement to incorporate

Terraces bring the healing power of the gardens to higher storey’s.

TheCamaraderie Multifamily housing, Bangalore Residential Design | B. Arch

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.

World Expo Pavilion Global Design Competition Finalist | Team of 2

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

introspect

and

to

pause,

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.
