COALESCE Commercial Complex Amritsar, Punjab, India
Academic Project (Individual) Third Year
The aim was to build a commercial complex that combines cosmopolitan ideals while upholding the traditional values of the context bound together by sustainability. Removed from the chaos of city traffic, noise and pollution, the complex offers the ultimate experience of bliss and serenity with the lush green open spaces and plaza resulting in better physical and mental health of the users.

Service cores were placed with an intent to improve the overall passive performance of the building. West core was placed such that it created a thermal buffer. Whereas the other core is located at the inner corner of the building as it had low daylight levels.
The plaza is shielded from the south and west by the built during the late afternoon hours. It is shaded by pathways approximately 10 m wide which connect up the drop off areas with the entrance providing comfortable circulation.

SOLAR RADIATION The radiation analysis has been done for 12 noon for every month. During the cold month, the radiation of the sun is more uniform and reduced. During March and October, the radiation on the roof is significantly higher, while the walls still had low radiation. In April and September, the radiation intensity on the roof becomes much higher while the intensity on the west elevation also increases.

SHADOW ANALYSIS In summer solstice, the high angle sun enters the plaza, but during the late afternoon times, it shades it partially. So, a shaded walkway of approximately 10 m wide has been provided in the area. It makes the plaza more accessible during the summer months. During the winter solstice, the plaza is shaded for almost all the time due to a low angle sun. During equinox there is much more shading in the plaza, and during the late afternoon hours, most of the plaza is shaded.

Urban Rejuvenation Park Chandigarh, India
Academic Project (Individual) Second Year
Sector 17 has been the commercial hub of the city since its establishment , however a sudden drop was seen in the number of visitors in the last decade, in-spite of increase in the population density of Chandigarh. Hence, we aim to provide an urban rejuvenation space which helps us in making the heart of the city alive again. The biggest advantage is the presence of vast plaza, which presents enormous opportunities in terms of flexibility and introduction of more interactive spaces which can be transformed as and when required.

VIVERE Residence
Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India Academic Project (Individual) Second Year
Moradabad is a small town in Uttar Pradesh, renowned for brass work and has carved a niche for itself in the handicraft industry through out the world. However the condition of its craftsmen is miserable as they are entitled to live in small, overcrowded and ill ventilated houses with indigent lighting. Thus, we aimed at designing them a residence that paves way for their better lifestyle and living conditions. We ought to establish a connection between craft selling and craft production with craftsmen's dwelling. This has been achieved by opening up the Private to the Public , i.e. Retail shops and godowns have been incorporated as a part of the housing .
Form Development
THE INTANGIBLE
The form evolves from the intangible “Togetherness in Chaos”. The strings represent different functions od the design such as residence and craft which are shown as chaotic in nature but are interconnected with each other. The tangled strings develop and find a way to simplify while maintaining the connection and resolving the functions. Since Moradabad is a town of brass craftsmen, the connectivity between the craftsmen and the seller is celebrated by combining the public(shops where the craft is sold) and private(where the craft is produced and the producer dwells). This enables in establishing a relationship between the house and the community.
SKIN
Since the site is covered from all three sides, the building opens up from the front façade through jaali and openings and to sky through atrium.
PROGRAM
The program consists of majority of the area dedicated to craft about i.e. about 50% and the rest is semi public and residence.
STRUCTURE
The building is composed of two independent RCC Framed structures each rising from different spots and come together on roof.
MATERIALITY
There are sloping stepped roofs in this design out of which two are terrace gardens and one is made up of glass frames forming the atrium.
VIEWS View of the bedroom with jaali wall made out of AAC blocks that allow play of natural light and shadow through out the day yet maintaining privacy of these spaces.

Reforming Classrooms for Safe Reopening of Schools Competition (Pair)
The world is learning to deal with the pandemic, yet the sector which the pandemic has hit most adversely is the “learning” sector. With schools and educational institutes being shut for more than a year and a half now, virtual learning and online classes have become the new normal. Humans being social animals, need human interactions for their physical and mental growth , especially at a younger age. The challenge was to come up with a strategy that allows school to reopen safely and efficiently.
Concept
Redesigning and re-building of entire school is practically and monetarily not feasible. Thus, there is a need to t and flexible solutions. Furniture is the first thing that students come in direct contact with, thus redesigning and should be the primary concern. It needs to be easily movable, effortlessly cleanable and storage inclusive. Next is arrangement or lay outing of these furniture according to the class requirements and safety norms. S entering and leaving classrooms to be assured and regular checking for any symptoms to be monitored

KHONOMA A Warrior Village
Louis I Kahn(NASA)- Winter 2018 (Group)
Documentation of different dwellings and “Khals” which best represent the evolution of ‘making of a house’ in Khonoma, Nagaland. The documentation focuses on historic structures which showcase genuine adaptation of local lifestyle and knowledge while responding to various regional natural and manmade factors. The aim is to appreciate and understand heritage through documentation, and in return, enrich design thinking through documentation.
Thevoma Khel Thevoma Khel consists of three main clans- Catsu, Kuotsu, Phetsu. There are three main gates in this khel. Approach to this khel is from the East where the land slopes down from ridge precipitously. In the Thevoma Khel the houses follow the typology that in the front is the fireplace, in the middle is the storage or the dormitory and in the back end of the house is where the family resides.

Oldest Morung
Morungs were the largest building of the village, generally centrally located to administer all village activities visually. It is functioned as the heart of the village and was considered almost sacred. Morungs were the most ornamental and decorative buildings in the village, also almost entirely in the form of wood carving. This sacred place is resplendent with the carving of hornbills, tigers, mithans, etc.
Tim Roof After the British invasion this place had a better connectivity to the outer world and the started using materials that weren't locally available.
Skylight Roofs
Wooden Rafters and Purlins Timber was used for the framing of roof. It is also used for columns and wall.

Load Transfer
Before people used to build stone houses which used to be load bearing these houses have thick walls made up of stone which transfers the load coming from roof to the foundation below and then finally to the ground, but as time passes they started to use materials which were easy to make and readily available to them like bamboo, timber etc. As these materials are not as strong as stone to be used to make load bearing structure so people started making framed structures, here load is being transferred from roof to beams and columns and then through foundation all the load gets transferred to ground.
RADHA RANI TEMPLE Barsana, Uttar Pradesh, India
Louis I Kahn(NASA)- Winter 2019 (Group)
The theme/brief for LIK trophy, 2019-2020 was ‘Architecture of Semi-Sacred’, to relook at the architecture tied between the civic and the sacred. This is a documentation of the architectural style and the ancestry of semi-sacred spaces.
BRAJ THROUGH THE AGES The area of Braj lies between Delhi and Agra. Being a fertile land, with convergence of multiple trade routes it was prime land which has gone through many hands and been home to many religions. Braj is special because the sacred and the profane is more closely integrated than anywhere else. It physically represents a 5000 year myth and history. The temple complex is made of 4 temples built over different periods of time, by different rulers, each bigger and grander than the previous. With each new temple, the previous temple became a part of the semi sacred space complex. Its spaces were adapted to serve the needs of the new mandir. Paleolithic Age

Timeline of Braj
The entire landscape is symbolic Radha Krishna are also active outside the temple, in nature, in the open air and in the hearts of the people. The gods are one of them, they are loved more than worshipped. This makes the sacred and semi sacred very different they become more relateable to the daily life of people.
Evolution of Temple Complex TIMELINE
The Purana Mandir is built like a Haveli, it has no shikhars or architectural features of a common mandir. The idol was kept in a niche. This was done to camaflaouge from the Muslim in vaders.

Semi sacred space
Built by the Scindia family, it is the grandest and follows no particular style, but is a hybrid style of architecture.
Vartaman Mandir
Schematic Plan
All the previous structures are used as semi sacred spaces now. Thus this mandir has the most semi sacred area till date.
SACRED TO SEMI-SACRED SACRED
The Sacred is defined by the most intricate detailing, with floral patterns engraved on pillars too. The openings are outlined by serpentine arches. Doors are heavily carved
SEMI-SACRED
The semi sacred areas are dealt with a little less intricacy Bangladaar roofs and chhatris have been added, like in havelis. The openings are within semi circular arches and vaulted roofs.
PUBLIC
The public is the most simple elevation with simple chhatris and parapets.
Light & Ventilation
Due to the conversion of the garba griha to kitchens, the kitchens have minimal light and ventilation. The courtyards have been covered by trusses, allowing some amount of light in that area. The foyers and washing area has the maximum light and ventilation as it has openings.

White Town, Pondicherry
White Town in Pondicherry is a showcase of two distinct architectural styles i.e. French and tamil and the hybrid Franco- Tamil. The French quarter consists of buildings inspired by European classical style, with each building having different design. The interior of these houses have colonnade, porch, garden, etc. made completely introvert, with one massive gate being only connection between inside and outside. Tamil houses, in contrast, are completely extrovert, with verandas and seating platforms opening to the street. While the entrances are very welcomed, the verandas also create a buffer and adds to the privacy of inner spaces, letting only knowns to enter the house.
