metro STATION hi-tech city METRO DESIGN design CONCEPT The Hi-Tech city Metro Station is the entry point of the great minds that make the place so amazing. The selected site is in Bangalore, India, which so happens to be the IT hub of the entire subcontinent. Many say th that their ideas will create the metaphorical ‘Ripple’, but rarly do they consider how it will affect others in the field in the future. The many ripples collude to form bigger ripples, which in turn, create even bigger ones.

metro STATION hi-tech city METRO DESIGN design DETAILS Should we equate these little nudges on still water to be thoughts, ideas inventions or improvements to existing systems, we can presume that the final result would be a ‘Tsunami’. The shape of the built form is precisely two tsunamis clashing together - a metaphorical comparison of various groups of ideas clashing against the other in their bid for domination over the other...an interpretation of intense competition that occurs in a cosmopolitan IT hub that is constantly progressing.

museum & MULTIPURPOSE identity IN SENSATION design CONCEPT The design embodies the ideology of identity that has been lost in this pre-existing Martin Brumbaugh school since its colonial period of construction. Taking inspiration from the site and people of Puerto Rico, the new program and design aims to undestand the people’s love for outdoors and reinterpret it as a need for its people to express, mingle and deliver to them their identity in full. The most important move for this building, which is now a museum and safe haven from the frequent hurricanes that torment it, is a double level gallery giving a panoramic view of the full environment. The construction is inter-knitted with the existing building through low-cost clamping and spanning techniques with timber, giving its original jail-like appearance and colonial oppresive feel a mode of communication while keeping its history intact.

space LIVING
blankspace COMPETITION
design CONCEPT The idea of space is daunting, but is also a never-ending blank canvas. This design was under the express mentorship of Eddie Jones where I teamed up with two other students who were expressly in charge of specific parts of the competition process. I was part of design thinking and in charge of modeling and rendering. The idea was to imagine 200 years into the future and visualize a future of space colonization and human proliferation. The team imagined a utopian and dystonic society simultaneously as a result of choices based on realistic constraints such as energy while building on the abstract art of building with water. We kept water as a keystone due to its supreme importance to life as we know it, and created spaces that best represent the ideals of space exploration, infinite greed, and unquenchable thirst for adventure and exploration. It automatically reflects the inherent nature of humans as inevitably curious - a nature that can equally proliferate or destroy the species as we know it.

sports COMPLEX bihta campus NIT PATNA design CONCEPT The National Institute of Technology Bihta Campus is the second fully-fledged campus for the institute in which I study. I had been given the opportunity by my professors and Head of the Department of Architecture to make the initial design for the Sports Complex of it. The design includes a fully facilitated functional Student Activity Centre, Indoor Swimming Pool and Canteen, with adjacent BasketBall, Volleyball and Law Tennis courts spanning over a 300m x 400m rectangular site.

sports COMPLEX student activity centre NIT PATNA, BETA design CONCEPT The Student Activity Centre (SAC) building is the extracurricular hub of the institute. All atheletic, musical and other similar activites and events will be coordinated from here. Hence, sports facilities, seminar rooms and other necessities must be provided here. The building is painted white - as pure as snow with glazing along the top to allow for sunlight to enter. All required circulation elements have been provided to optimize time consumption in movement and maximiz ease of flow. In most cases, corridors have been avoided and an open planning methodology has been adopted.

kolkata PORT TRUST DOCK GATE
design CONCEPT The Kolkata Port Trust Netaji Subhas Gate is designed to allow for creation of a proper checkpoint where the exchange of trade items and other assorted objects can be controlled. It will act an entrance gate, a security depot and checkpoint, an iconic structure and a place where heavy trailers carrying shipping containers can pass safely. A wide entrance gate, with 2 secutiry depots, roadblockers and a 15 m high structure made of steel structural framing is what I had designed for this in my Internship at Creative Forum Pvt. Ltd. in my position as an Architectural Intern. I was responsible for the whole job, including dealing with the clients and suppliers and calculating cost estimates.

union STATION redesign IMPERATIVE design CONCEPT The site is an old station in Tempe, Arizona. The aim of this design was to redevelop this site into a student hub for The Design School of Arizona State University. So, it was conceived as a studio building with all the necessary requirements and a food and requi relaxation plaza, making an independant and close-knit system of academic fabric into the city. It’s retro-fitted in the Union Station. Roads are cut into the site in a way that there is smooth-flowing connection through the site so vehicles and people can flow easily. The concrete structures are inter-dependant masses of loosely sheared concrete. They work as a single unit by transferring the common load off the common wall that is shared by the two major masses. The old structure is expected to be retro-fitted with a structural frame capable of handling such a load with ease. The building is oriented in the

photography & SKETCHING things ABOUT ME... I have often traveled and each tour has been fraught with experience and adventure. I believe that I have been moulded to who I am now mostly because of all the things I have seen thus far. All the wonders around me have taught something new. I travelled to Europe, UK, and many scenic and culturally rich places in India. The diversity all around left me in awe of the world, its people and their creations over time. Since the portfolio is a way to express myself, I thought I should tell you about this side of me. I also enjoy sketching and have added an example of my work here as well. Photographed in Bath, UK
