01. RESHAPING DESERT EXPERIENCE

LOCATION : Dreamy Draw Recreational Area, Phoenix Arizona

NARRATIVE OF DESIGN:

The studio engages by expanding outward into the quietude where works of land art engage the vastness of the Great American Desert. The liminal state imparts a sense of the outside moving inward and the inside feeling outwardly, which defines the point of departure for this studio, realizing the presence of architecture as a transitory continuum within a monumental landscape.

The project mainly focuses on as providing a venue for outdoor/indoor events. The facility accommodates education classrooms where visitors can educate themselves on the ecology of the desert, repair shops for bikers, rest stop for hikers, overnight camping, and other community functions to encourage visitors to slow down and spend time within the ever-changing ecology of an immense and finite system of transitory events. The concept of the design is to create the experience of hard, moderate, and easy hiking trails, easy with the low slopes moderate by circulating the getting to the endpoint, and hard by hiking long distances to reach their destination where each path is designated to take the visitors to each program by integrating the existing flora and fauna of the desert.

02. YALE ART GALLERY-EXPANSION

LOCATION : Yale University, New Haven, CT

TEAM : Priyanka, Niharika, Purva & Miguel

NARRATIVE OF DESIGN:

Yale University Art Gallery is the oldest university art museum in the Western Hemisphere, it houses a major encyclopedic collection of art in several interconnected buildings on the campus of Yale University in New Haven. The new gallery was designed by louis kahn, built in 1953.

The building initially included an open space for art exhibitions and a studio space for art and architecture students. An active presence is concentrated in the center of the old and new art galleries. All active spaces are exhibition spaces with movable walls, mostly in the extension of Louis Kahn, which change the connection pattern. This allows a great deal of attention to the exhibition and circulation, which can lead to museum fatigue. Our main goal is to design an interactive environment for people’s well-being, reduce visual irritation and fatigue, and provide a comfortable environment in the middle of the gallery. The extension we propose is an attempt to break this pattern. The main concept of this extension is to make people as tireless as possible. Effective measures need to be taken to reduce this condition. This includes stopping at a designated road, taking a break, and leaving the museum before being exhausted while in the gallery.

My part in this project was Design, 3D modeling & Renders.

03. MOGANTI PROPERTIES HIGH-RISE APARTMENTS

LOCATION : Anandapuram, Visakhapatnam, AP, India

AREA : 3.2 Acres

PROJECT STAGE : ONGOING

TEAM : Priyanka, Praneeth & Samyuktha

NARRATIVE OF DESIGN:

The project acknowledges the conscious approach towards sustainability by amplifying the quality of living and efficient use of a tight urban site. The form and details are adopting an understanding of the delicate balance between low environmental impact and high-quality construction by including energy-efficient exterior cladding, enchanted air-quality ventilation systems, a rooftop solar renewable energy canopy, and resilient post-tensioned shear walls. Further, the design includes wastewater treatment and rainwater harvesting pits.

I am involved in every stage of this project from initial study to planning, details, and coordinating with the structural engineers.
