ANALYSIS AND DESIGN FOR THE VERNACUAR SETTLEMENT -MARPHA VILLAGE, NEPAL
Academic Projects
A
ssessing the traditional and cultural practices along with the construction techniques and architecture of Marpha village, situated in the Thak Khola valley, Nepal, was the major undertaking of this project, which became the foundation for understanding the prevailing problems and designing to solve. The design is based on the concept of ‘Modernity in Traditional Architecture’. Continuity is the only way of preservation of the traditional, and for continuity we need innovation. Amalgamating modern techniques with the traditional practices, I have designed a modular system which helps preserve the village’s identity.
Woahh!! You’re rich!!
The most evident traditional practice in the village is piling wood logs on the border of the roof to provide protection from the wind. These piles also denote the wealth of a person.
UNDERSTANDING THE PREVAILING PROBLEM
RISE IN TOURISM
CONSTRUCTION OF HOTELS
DEFORESTATION
‘creating out of the existing’ Accomodating the tourists with the locals would combat the problem. In this way, the tourists would learn more about their culture and traditions, and it would also help the locals generate some income.
The locals, along with the tourists, would pile wood logs on the roof border, as per the local traditions, but inside the designed wooden frames. The modules, thus created, would turn out to be elements for enclosure of space.

reiham is the concept of a city to be constructed on the outskirts of Munich, proposed by the Munich Development Authority, Germany. It was meant as a sign of identity and vision to interlink urbanity with local history and agricultural use. The park on the western side of the city map was being developed as a landscape park.
The Freiham Landscape Park acts as the mediator between the urban city and the rural landscapes with its own pro�ile in the west of Munich. The individual landscape elements along with the overall landscape qualities of the area are designed and put into relation to the large topographical form. Thus, a strong spatial framework is developed by designing ‘from micro to macro’.
FREIHAM LANDSCAPE PARK GROUP PROJECT WITH BAUCHPLAN).(
The landscape park grows in direct connection with the new settlement unit of the city. Excavated material becomes a tangible land�ill and an identi�ication feature on the western edge of the city.
‘MICRO’ EXCAVATION FOR CONSTRUCTION
The new topography, from the external view, forms a prominent edge of the city and at the same time acts as a noise shielding device. From the internal view, the play of tilted meadow areas and high points, stage the wide ‘nature experiences’ in a relatively limited space.

The concept of enclosures within an open landscape has been designed which allows partial private spaces within a public landscape structure.
...BECOMES THE SCALABLE BASIC FORM FOR GARDENS
These excluded spaces are enclosed action areas which act as playgrounds, barbecue areas and even private garden plots. These individually identi�iable rooms are surrounded by hedges and, together with the topography and the open meadows, shape the appearance of the new park.

REVITALIZATION OF NEEMRANA BAOLI, RAJASTHAN
N
eemrana Baoli, Rajasthan, built in 1760s, is a nine-story underground structure of majestic scale in the Neemrana village that has been neglected for decades.
The objective of the thesis is to protect and bring in use the traditional architecture of the stepwell, using contemporary techniques so that it responds well in the modern world of today, while retaining the original essence of the baoli, and connecting it back to the local communities.

“What is needed at the
beginning of the new millennium is an architectural perspective in which valuable traditional knowledge is integrated with equally valuable modern knowledge.
”
?
‘CREATING A LANDMARK’ The creation of a landmark is very important for the revitalization of the baoli as it would provide the structure with a sense of identity and make it into a symbol of the village’s heritage. Association with height for visibility from the fort would also help in creating spatial predominance through contrast with the surrounding elements. The structure above the ground would give a glimpse of what is under the ground.

A canvas for creativity to be explored Qrio Studio, Chandigarh, was designed as a design education studio for the students appearing for entrance exams. The design approach was to provide a free canvas for the creative bunch of Qrio to create the spaces they desire for themselves, so as to encourage them to explore their creativity.
The �looring was kept entirely carpeted, so that the students can drop off their shoes outside and feel free to hop on any space they want, without any hassle, inside the studio. The modular furniture was designed in the form of a pie, whose pieces could be taken out as per individual preferences and requirements, and be rearranged back again into the pie. The back wall was painted with black chalkboard paint, providing the students with a huge open canvas.

One corner of the room called the
'yellow cube'
was allotted the 'chill-space' of the studio where the students can take a nap, relax or read a book. In order to create the 'yellow cube', yellow carpet was used for the �looring. The ceiling and walls were painted yellow, and yellow furnishings were used to complete the look of the cube.

The residence at ‘The Palms’, located in Mullanpur, Punjab, is a project undertaken as a challenge to design a house that has its own sculptural value. All the spaces of the house are created along a single curve that runs from one end of the house to another. All the rooms that needed to be enclosed on the ground �loor, are placed on one side of the curve on the plot area, leaving the other side completely open and airy.
professional project 05// 39
The cutout on the foor slabs of the building allow natural light to enter through the roof slab, lighting up all the common areas of the house, including the ground �loor.

This project’s challenge was to create the interiors of an empty of�ice space located inside an industrial property. We created another frame within the existing frame of the built of�ice area, so as to control the amount of light entering the space, and adding symmetry to an otherwise assymetrical frame. Adding warmth to the space was another objective, considering the location of the of�ice.
