'We live in paradoxes.'

These past years of exploring architecture in search of a purpose have left me with more paradoxes than I began with. These paradoxes are the elements with which we conceptualize and mold our own worlds.

This has challenged me to work and discover on a variety of projects, exploring forms and materials, working on-site with masons, and incorporating my learnings into systems I design. A driven, diligent, and ambitious person, I am always eager to learn. I have an easygoing nature and strong communication skills. Having led different workshops and numerous projects, I have a strong sense of team spirit, leadership, and management skills.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

This is to confirm that Satyam Goel (enrolment no. A/3463/2020, student of B. Arch at the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi) completed an eight week summer internship programme at The Mythe Guild, from 5th June - 31st July, 2023.

The Mythe Guild is a design + build studio based in Shimla and Dharamsala, exploring craftsmanship, conservation and responsible development in the lower Himalayas. The studio offers apprenticeship opportunities for design students to immerse themselves within the challenging, barefoot nature of our work.

During his time at our studio, Satyam was involved with research for the development of an urban park, the design of a farmhouse, as well as the documentation and conservation proposals for several heritage structures. He worked closely with traditional masons and carpenters, experimenting with ways of using modern construction materials and techniques in harmony with historical vernacular buildings, as a more authentic, contemporary expression of their present day urban context.

It has been a pleasure to observe his natural curiosity, and to encourage his disciplined attention to precision and detail. Satyam’s experience of living, working and exploring the Dhauladhar hills through walks across fields, trails and villages in the surrounding landscape led to a study of organic patterns and forms which he taught as part of a course on biomimicry titled “From Nature to Structure”. I am confident that he will continue to absorb, reflect and innovate through every experience and opportunity afforded to him. I whole heartedly recommend his application.

With best regards,

Tarang

FATEHPUR SIKRI, AGRA, INDIA

The Fatehpur Sikri Visitor Interpretation Center is a proposed architectural project that aims to provide visitors with a comprehensive and engaging experience of this historic city. The center will be located near the entrance to the Fatehpur Sikri UNESCO World Heritage Site, and will serve as a gateway for visitors to learn about the city's rich history, culture, and architecture.

Tarang, which means waves, was an outcome of our studies, resulting in a design which flows on the contours of the city responding to its architectural elements.

The ruins of Fatehpur Sikri are one of the most significant examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. Its ruins are a testament to its grandeur and architectural significance.

The ruins of Fatehpur Sikri are notable for their eclectic mix of architectural styles, which draw on influences from India, Persia, and Central Asia.

The city's buildings are made of red sandstone with intricate carvings and geometric patterns.

01 Forming Islamic patterns based on Girhi Tiles.

02 Extruding a solid mass.

03 Modifying mass according to the topography and circulation.

04 Folded plate roof is added to emphasis on Natural light and Ventilation.

05 Final Form with a combination of different types of walls to create an experiential space

Purpose of the center was to use the existing topography to our advantage and modulate our functions along the contours. Using cues from the city's architectural style of having modular spaces catering to both public and private audiences, we integrated different types of fenestration walls with modulating folding plate roofs to create intermingling between open and semi-open space. We implemented sustainable materials to minimize the impact of the building on the environment.

THE MYTHE STUDIO

SHIMLA / DHARMSHALA / DALHOUSIE

The Mythe Guild is a design + build studio based in Shimla and Dharamsala, exploring craftsmanship, conservation and responsible development in the lower Himalayas.

As an intern at The Mythe Guild, I worked on various on-going projects spread throughout the lower Himalayas. I worked on-site with traditional masons and carpenters, learning about the materials and construction techniques used to build and conserve historical vernacular buildings in the context of the present day.

AALIA TEA ESTATE

DEHRADUN, UTTARAKHAND, INDIA

Aalia Tea Estate is a boutique resort designed with multiple villa typologies located throughout a tea estate near Dehradun.

Work on the Aalia Tea Estate included developing sanction drawings, iterating on different drawings based on the client's feedback and requirements, creating realistic renders and a presentation set of all the four different villa typologies.

SIDHBARI STUDIO

DHARMSHALA, HIMACHAL PRADESH, INDIA

Sidhbari Studio is a reconstruction project of an existing mud house originally constructed under Didi Contractor. The project aims to expand the existing house and reinforce it with stone and steel, while preserving the original mud structure at its core.

Work on the Sidhbari Studio included documenting the on going construction processes, making drawing sets, working with traditional masons on the house, creating structural model of the roof and rendering visuals.

GINGULD

NORBULINGKA, HIMACHAL PRADESH, INDIA

Ginguld is a residential project located near Norbulingka in Dolmaling Nunnery. The house is designed for a family of five. The house is designed to blend into the surrounding landscape, and to utilize the local materials excavated during the construction back into the project.

Work on the Ginguld included creating documentation and presentation drawing set, creating a photograph document of the on-going construction, and creating visuals.

WORKSHOP // MISC.

+ RatLABS (Fabrication & A.I.)

+ Grasshopper explorations

+ Blender Geometric Nodes

+ Parametric Patterns

+ Simulations

I'm always exploring new mediums and ways to observe and create patterns around me. I take these understandings and translate them into tangible forms, which I then iterate on to create something new.

"Observe, create, and iterate"—that's the motto I've followed while making these forms using all different kinds of mediums. This process has led me to learn about a variety of methods to recreate them in new and innovative ways.

01 Form Exploration & Optimisation using Kangaroo

02 Creating the Waffle Structure

This digital exploration of Felix Candela's work was created entirely using Grasshopper. The initial form exploration was done using Kangaroo, and the final fabrication was done using OpenNest and data sets to generate notched and optimized laser cutting data.
