01 DISASTER RESILIENT STRUCTURES MAJULI ISLAND, ASSAM, NORTH EAST INDIA
Majuli district of Assam is exposed to river bank erosion and flood because of various hydro meteorological and topographical characteristics of the basin in which it is situated. Brahmaputra River changes its course over the period of time creates more problems in the livelihood. These hazards create threat to local people who are living along the river resulting in losing of residential and agricultural land. Locals are struggling to cope up with the changing climatic conditions. People are finding new solutions in order to survive to extreme situations. The wave of adapting modern materials and techniques is deteriorating the traditional knowledge. The research comprises of the study done on the overall socioeconomic impact of the river bank erosion and flood on local populace. This thesis focuses on learning the vernacular techniques and to apply that knowledge to suggest possible solutions.
Name : Pradip Bezburah Location : Uttar Kamlabari Community : General
During the field visit five different villages which had different flood estimation levels, are selected for further study. Each of these villages had different construction methods and materials used in houses are different. The designing process also includes several physical models to test the possible forces and the impact of it on the structure.

03 INCUBATION CENTER SARKHEJ, AHMEDABAD
Urban insert of an Incubation and Research center in Sarkhej, is a place where environmental friendly practices promote sustainable and eco-friendly development and construction. The area of focus was to respond the historical as well as neighborhood context. The main concept of the design was influenced from Sarkhej roza its historical context. The aim is to provide a platform for people where they can generate their own ideas and contribute to the society. Proving a place where a person’s primordial aspects can be evoked, incubation center is designed to encourage the informal interactions and spaces where they can innovate through interactions.

04 MATERIAL EXPLORATION NoXX APARTMENT, TURKEY
Noxx apartment, designed by CM architects in Istanbul, Turkey is taken as a case study to understand the joinery and behavior of different materials. The building is made out of steel and exposed brick. To understand the joinery and sequence of construction of building, the scaled model is explored with using the actual materials. This exercise helped to develop the understanding of materials and the stages of construction. The understanding of joinery details between two materials and several components of building is carried out while making of the model.

07 TRAFFIC AND COMMERCIAL SIGNAGES PANAJI, GOA CHARLES CORREA FOUNDATION
It is essential to define an effective balance between the uniformity (serving The city identity) and variety (serving the individuality of individual business) of private and commercial signage systems in a city. This project aims to Propose a framework of rules to govern commercial signage in Panaji. A well-implemented and thought of urban commercial signage policy will ensure control, reasonability and clarity in commercial signage throughout the city. The document can set a precedent for rules and imposition that will make experience of the city better. The process includes documentation of several traffic and commercial signage around the city.
In order to lessen the complexity of outdoor advertisements signs and in order to determine the potential impact of signs on the environment, a sign has been classified based on visual character, function and necessity.

SAMPLES OF THE SKETCHES
During our winter school at Himachal Pradesh, I had documented various settlements in Naddi and Bal, Near Mcloed Ganj. It helped me to gain understanding of vernacular construction. The understanding of this spaces and materials helped me in crating habitat for people live in Bir during my housing project in Studio.

09 DESIGN TOMORROW PARIS, FRANCE
(DESIGN COMPETITION)
The design aims to facilitate the ease of arrangement of workspace. The surrounding and interior spaces are kept as flexible as possible mainly to adapt to varying needs of various sites. The concept is mainly to keep the ground floor space as accessible as possible to give building extroverted feeling. The first floor is focusing on views and vistas of the surrounding area where the main idea is to work with desired views. Some spaces of the working areas are kept introvert intentionally.
10 PRIMARY SCHOOL DESIGN MOZAMBIQUE, EAST AFRICA (DESIGN COMPETITION)
Primary School in Mozambique allowed me to gain an understanding of how context-driven practice is important. The use of local material and construction methods were the main focus of the project. The main idea of the school is the following: The gradual unfolding of spaces due to shifting of the Axis: As shown in the sketches on the left, depth till which one can see is restricted from a certin point and there is an element of surprise as to what would be the space beyond this point. The multipurpose area can also be used as an assembly area as it turns into a pavillion when all the doors are opened as shown below.
