Consulado Geral de Portugal is the Portugal Consulate in Goa. It holds various functions for the Portu gal Tourists as well as the local Goan People.The composition of the design is inspired by the elements of the Portugal flag. The portugal flag has 3 main elements. The colours, the Armillary sphere and the National sheild. The Armillary sphere is a nautical device connected with links. Similary the entire design is connected via pathways and roads. These continuous pathways create smaller courtyards between the masses. Along with the Portugal culture, the Goan culture is blended by the ideas of balcoes. The idea of “to see and to be seen” is given by the Goan balcoes of the houses. It refers to a verandah space infront of the house. The idea is incorporated by allowing and restricting visual access to particular parts of the site.

The National shield on the flag has 7 castles of Portugal. These 7 castles are interpreted as 7 zones in the design. The masses of these buidlings are laid out around the courtyard similar to the arrangement of the castles around the sheild, making it a secure zone.

Rising Star is a co-living facility created for struggling actors who are new to the city. This facility provides them space to reside as well as amenities which help them grow as an actor. There are auditioning the atres, discussion rooms and common amphitheatre spaces for the actors to work together. The living facilities are divided into two parts - dorms and sharing rooms. The location of the design is in filmcity, Goregaon alongside a basti of locals and a school. The form derived follows a certain module which is re peated to create smaller pathways. The pathways are connected and expanding in nature looking towards the common courtyards. Different types of roofs are used to create skylights in living quarters and spot lights in audition theatres.

The Food Town is a Cullinary Institute based in Queens, America. The Institute was designed for a fictional character of Julie from the movie ‘Julie and Julia’. The site for the de sign was selected in vicinity of Julie’s residence in Queens. The design was developed based on the surrounding con text. The design included assembly of only 2 units This re sembled the repetitive life Julie was living. The units are broken out by outdoor spaces and glass sloping roofs and varying height resembling how cooking evolved in her daily routine. The Institute features various facilities for students, residents and fellow cooks in the neighbourhood.
