I am a 23-year-old Architecture Student and recently pursuing bachelor of architecture as a final year student at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. I have gained perception, discovered and developed my learnings and personal skills not only as an architecture student but have grown as a human being as well. Working on complex design projects throughout undergrad studio and internship, and competitions requiring different approaches to handle obstacles, deep research and different approach to design solutions has helped me develop my designing and thinking and the importance of reflecting on broader cultural, social, political, economic, and environmental context.

Design strategies (A)Enclosed spaces of the block i.e. bedrooms and living areas are placed to avoid any kind of physical or visual proximity, and all the openings are provided away from the southern parts of the block. (B)Double height is given to the studio space, to increase the amount of sunlight and to allow more cross ventillation, therefore ensuring high degree of passive environment. (C)The Architect client’s character was defined as someone who loves reading, and so to make the residence define the character of the owner various reading nooks were designed. (D)The southern wall in the coutyard is made up of brick jaali that creates different shadow patterns throughout the day, the central part is open as to utilise maximum amount of daylight, it is ensured that the areas don’t get heated up much with the cross ventiallation throughout with the openings, and with the use of mud brick walls.

The site is facing the south side which transforms the form the building such that the public areas could be provided in the shaded parts, and the facade facing the northern direction can have more openings.
The site is situated at the node of Maharaja agrasen marg and the Mblock road, To channel easy flow of the traffic the part of the built form is pushed back.
To enhance the view point towards the mall and from the mall, curved structure is created, that would further direct more shading in the public open spaces.

Center for Tribal Arts, Odisha (Thesis- Ongoing) LOCATION SITE AREA TOTAL BUILT UP
:Cuttack, Odisha :1,82,109 Sq M (45 acres) :44,200 Sq M
The proposal is to design an Art center, which will consist of a single platform to not only showcase the lives of the tribal population of the region but to also understand it through a practical experiences and training platform. The art center is also going to be responsible to further encourage the socio-economic development of the tribal population by engaging them throughout the process. The project will also bridge the gap between the traditions of tribal people and the rest of the world. My thesis will be an exploration of the tribal population of the region, the kind of cultures and traditional aspects they have got to offer, the architecture practices of the region and the end result will be an art center, consisting of all sorts of learning and sharing of the tribal lives through an endless narrative.

WHAT THE RURAL TECHNIQUES ARE, HAVE BEEN CENTURIES OLD AND ARE RICH IN CULTURE AND UNIQUE IDEAS AND DEVELOPMENTS WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN OR DUMPED. THESE NEED TO BE REVISITED SO THAT BOTH THESE GENERATIONS CAN UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER BETTER.
THIS PROJECT AIMS TO BRING THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS UNDER A COMMON ROOF AND TO TRAVERSE THROUGH THE HISTORY AND BETWIXT THE GAP TO INITIATE DIALOGUE AND RESEARCH IN THE FIELDS OF ART, ARCHITECTURE, LITERATURE AND SCIENCE

THE HUSSAINABAD MUSEUM LOCATION COMPETITION GROUP
:Sarai Julena, Jamia Nagar :Archontention-2017 :6
CREATION OF A MUSEUM WITHIN A PUBLIC SPACE. The idea was to curate all senses where the eyes visualise to perceive the space, the ears hear the music,the sense of smell and taste are accentuated through the delicacies from Lucknow and one can touch and feel the spaces through variations in textures of the earthy space. Its revolving nature and access through a ramp, gives the building its character and symbolizing the continuity by means of narrow streets dissolving into this ‘courtyard’, similar to the old city. Experiencing the street culture of Lucknow though narrow and wide corridors. Further into the space, one can rejoice and relax in the courtyards and the space around , feeling free for on the city life and still being close to its culture and heritage. Embracing the skyline of lucknow and without disturbing the historical canvas a public space-museum embedded into the very roots and built into the soil glorifying the heritage walk and the rich context it is a part of.
Design strategies
Overview
Third wave is the beginning of a revolution. A simple step towards the forgotten dimension of awakaned memories, values and associated feelings. The vision incorporates Traditions and Customs, new and old, tradition makers and the youth who has to amalgamate and modify the cultural ethos they are a part of without any boundations and boundaries, exploring the open spaces and breaking out from the closed ones. Our proposal integrates Museum, food court and landscape into a synergic “totalwork� that resists traditional notions of dictation, and instead encourages users to engage holistically with subject and space. Carefully sequencing the height of our structure, our design envelops users in the physical, intellectualand emotional experience with the rich culture of lucknow.

Due to the location of the museum and public space within the site boundary, the construction would consist of protecting all the historical landmarks within the designated heritage walk., as to not to disturb and ensure the longevity of all existing monuments within the walk. The construction sequence of the proposed design would then be undertaken using the least invasive construction methods to minimise any disturbance to neighbouring monuments. The design proposal takes advantage of both passive and active systems, harmonising the ethos of existing monuments.

LEH- Building an Urban Database LOCATION CATEGORY WORKSHOP
:Ladakh :Public Spaces :Emara
Public Spaces and Streetscapes: Group of 3 The public spaces and streets in the old town which are vibrant and busy, catered to all sects of people, was found to be inclusive, the new developments were completely devoid of such public gathering spaces. The need for social interactions through these public spaces seems to have taken a back step in newer developments. However, the old town faced problems of loss of character to the streetscape due to large hoardings, advertisements by various lodges and restaurants to attract tourists. These boards have overpowered the traditional “Shintaks” and façade character of the settlement. Hence, the proposals hinted at bringing in a commonality to these advertisements so that they are integrated with the street facades well, while keeping the character of the place intact.
Leh- Main Market
Activity Mapping of the Market place
Leh, has a completely different pattern of a public space. Being extremely sunny, a mall road was not feasible. The main public space is the leh main bazaar, which is a L shaped, non-vehicular street, a part of which remains completely sunny, and another completely shaded, acting like a solution for extreme leh climate. Having deep understanding and respect among the two dominant religions of leh, i.e. buddhism and islam the main bazaar has a vihara and mosques.
In hill station like nanital, the main public space is oriented around lakes, where as the main public spaces in hill stations like shimla, the main public space is surrounded by spectacular views. Influx of tourism with the increase in tourism the leh main bazaar has seen a major change in the land use pattern. Formerly, majorly used for trade purpose, and being a vehicular zone, it changed drastically. Now used to cater the tourists, the bazaar mainly has cafes, restaurants and handicraft shops.

Introduction The Avanti-Mahatmya of Skanda Purana has recorded a description of the Sun temple and two tanks, The Surya Kunda and the Brahma Kunda. The river Kshipra is flowing from both the side of the palace, and this water structure was constructed in one part of them.v The remarkable feature of this summer palace is the system by which the water of the river is carried through decorated conduits into Baavan Kund and then allowed to fall from a height of about 20 ft. over sculptured stone curtains. The artificial waterfall is spread into a thin sheet and falls back into the Kshipra river. In this way the chambers built on the masonry platform were kept cool. Kshipra is one of the rivers of India which flow towards North.

Traditional Water Management system
There are 52 ponds in Kaliahdeh Mahal some of them are small, and some others are very deep as they were originated as reservoir and storage tanks. These kunds are connected to each other with water channels. Here three major kunds have given name in Avanti- Mahtmya of Skanda Puran that is - Surya Kund, Bramha Kund and Agni Kund. The basement of the near the kunds is characterised by the archade. The entrance management of Kshripa in the Fort is also unique. Here small canals are constructed. These water channels take water with them and those moves ahead entering into each other. To maintain the uniqueness of the water management the exit of the river water from the ponds it has given the structure of waterfall. This construction is made on rocks. The structure is like “Diya� which is being digged on the land and when water passes through it it takes the structure like water fall. This type of architecture indicates the Mughal Period. After the exit of water from Palace it again meets in the Kshripa River and start moving ahead. Stop Dam are also constructed on Kshripa on the outerside of the Fort. The following are the various traditional water management systems that have been used in the structure:
