I am an Architecture student and avid learner. Being in Architecture school for past four years, I have tried to evolve myself around the processes of design thinking, favourable strategies and sensitive approaches for True applications. In the Initial years, we were driven to find our own Conceptual thought line, aesthetics and design values. In Senior Years, I’ve tried to developed ways of this thinking with practicality, logics, and efficient design implementation.

“Architecture is matter of Transformation” - Sir Ar. B.V. Doshi

In Present day Architecture, I feel inspired to find solutions, while pushing my boundaries of practice to variety of parameters. I am open to learn from new experiences, work for solutions, while being artistic.

I organize myself having Rationality for necessity, while keeping underlying specific interest in conceptions, aesthetics, user experiences, and art.

CONTEXT OF TRIMBAK

CONCEPT

The Main Concept was to retain and sustain the true Contextual arrangement of Trimbakeshwar town within the site. By doing this, people in and around Trimbak will have familiarity with the designed setup. Thus, increasing attention of local public. The underlying concept included Internal circulation with close blocks positions. Cascading units were formulated to reduce the negative impact, caused due to closepacked arrangement of blocks.

Integration of landscape to provide new dimension of “Harmony with nature” within the concept was focused upon, for sustaining the impact of housing.

The major emphasis of this project was on Trimbak Town and its culture and community. Therefore, Focused on Designing space that will have the elements to bring a community together by embracing the culture and the history of the context, as well as giving the town the adequate amenities.

WORKING DRAWINGS

Enabling us to prepare working drawings of an architectural project, by imbibing the significance of working drawings from the point of execution of the work on site and as an important component of tender documents.

Introducing idea of design development and detailing and its relevance in converting ‘Concept design’ to working drawing and hence the realization of design on site.

Standard methods, conventions, drawing annotations including International Standards, IS codes, its application in working drawing set with material and component and schedules were helpful in creation of detailed working drawings in Sem 5 and 6 (WD1 & 2) to Sem 7 and 8 (ABCS1 & 2)

For Minimum Depth & Width Required -> FOR, MEDIUM CLAY + CLAY (DAMP) + MOISTURE EARTH SOIL Safe permissible pressure on base (p)= 250 KN/sq.m Density of soil (w) = 17.26 KN/cu.m Angle of repose of the soil (Φ) = 35 Therefore, By Rankine's Formula, Minimum depth of Required foundation = p/w (1-sin Φ /1+sin Φ)^2 = 250/17.26 x 0.07344 = 1.064 m. Assuming bearing capacity of soil = 250 KN/sq.m Therefore, Minimum Width of Required foundation = 250/250 = 1.000m.

LEARNING ART.....

I try to work things in a specific structured process of creating any work, even though the process goes organic many times.

Visualizing visions and trying to achieve what’s required, through series of intermediate steps, in order to meet the outcome that’s close to the planned.

Sketching the Utopias of places, I have visited, have always helped me in creating variety of experiences to work on with.... Whereas, Drawing Portraits have made me understand people in depth. Capturing people in motions with photography is also an interest, I tend to work on with.

Architecture for me is working as a learning artist that brings Society together. The detail of Architecture helps me understand the whole, while different art help to understand the parts.
