This Architecture Portfolio is a compilation of selected works of mine done in my academic, personal and professional career. I am a recent graduate from Goa college of Architecture.

I believe that learning is a process and so as an Architecture graduate I always acquire the knowledge from each project am assigned to do and learn from the experiences. I have always been the one who trusts in the process leading to the output. This in turn gave me a never ending appetite towards learning new things. I hope these are evident from the variety of works in my Portfolio.

Currently seeking a position within a qualitative architectural practice that encourages the innovative application of constructive architectural practices to which I am eager to contribute. As demonstrated by my portfolio of work I am a versatile, creative, enthusiastic and an adaptable professional with practical work experience which incorporates schematic design, design development, project documentation. I am eager to build upon this experience and explore further avenues of creative and professional skills and development.

What present to you, is a course through self discovery and realization during my five academic years. It has been put together with enthusiasm and, to the best of my potential, reflects who I am as an architect as well as a human.

In my junior year, I read about Frampton’s critical regionalism and studied it deeply. During the period of my undergraduate study I have done a lot of regional architecture attempt, and have gradual understanding of regional and contextual architecture.

Journey from the perspective of regionalism in the initial form to the study of spirit of a place and the integration of regionalism in modernity by maintaining its essence.

The projects were chosen to highlight the diverse scale and approaches adopted in my design course.

symbiotic urban ecosystems: resilient urbanization in times of climate change

“The materials of city planning are: sky, space, trees, steel and cement: in that order and that hierarchy.”

-Le Corbuiser

Integrated natural and mechanical systems give shape to a vision of architecture as a scaffold that regenerates ecosystems and facilitates community empowerment.

In an answer to the age-old question of why our cities stagnate while their population and climate undergo rapid transformation, this project, began by challenging current urban planning models that prioritized the unbuilt over the built.

Our communities are drowning- economically & soon physically too. The project distills principles of environmental, social & economic sustainability for superior quality of life in the city. It envisions environmental sustainability in 2022, social sustainability by 2035, and economic sustainability by 2050.

The project proposes an urban park enveloping a high-rise system. Natural systems are integrated into a tower to create a holistic self-sustainable ecosystema tower of flux as a catalyst for change. The urban park offers recreational & learning facilities for the community. Biodiversity & natural water resources are carefully preserved on site, and the land is protected from haphazard horizontal urbanization.

This serves as a resilient model of urban planning, fostering a symbiotic relationship between people and nature, the present and the future.

PROJECT VISION

make the city centre more compact. make the site more accessible, attractive and suitable for people to live and work.

We observe incredible change in our urban population, local climate and available natural resources. It is time for a change in urban planning & design. This project began by challenging current urban planning models and proposes a new futuristic one which prioritizes the Unbuilt spaces over the built spaces.

A point of flux between the old city of Margao and its new suburbs is created on an agricultural plot of land, at risk of being converted like the commercial plots adjacent to it. Distilled from the needs of this interface is a biodiversity park that spans 95% of the site, and a supplementary vertical extension- the tower of flux, which houses essential commercial functions.

what should our approach to urban planning going into the future as architects?

densification of existing city core and controlling city sprawl

symbiotic relationship between people and nature

climate responsive relationship between builtform and site.

laying a foundation of self sustainable mode of development

CONCEPT SKETCHES

PLANNING FRAMEWORK

1. reimagining city cores 2. holistic sustainability

Compact, high-rise cities are the polar opposite of urban sprawl, and in theory, they reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment also significantly less energy-intensive per person than living in a sprawling suburb or rural area.

A holistic conceptual scheme considering aspects, strategies, and procedures of creating an environmental, economic, and social awareness by considering how to design sustainable buildings contextualizes sustainable building design.

3. urban icon 4. eco-infrastructure

As we continue to build higher and higher, the emphasis on building icons must give way to strategically planned homes and offices for the people who live, work, and play in our cities and urban centers.

This scheme is in tended to indicate the construction sector’s responsibilities in the context of land, water and biodiversity infrastructure, as well as to guide construction sector actors and researchers in this regard.

5. open public spaces 6. actors of site

Numerous activities, including political, cultural, religious, recreational, tourism, commercial, social, artistic, and micro-climate, can be adapted to one open space in the best interests of connecting the city to the people who reside in it.

Restorative landscapes, woven into the existing grid, that are focused on quality of mind, body and community, will incorporate natures benefits, support local connections and promote daily physical activity via a green network.

imagining a place of faith for the secular world

“Associative, wild, free, ordered and systematic thinking in pictures, in architectural, spatial, colourful and sensual pictures that is my favorite definition of design. Thinking in pictures as a method of design [...]” -Peter Zumthor Arcitectural Thinking

With more people choosing this new lifestyle now more than ever, it is necessary to acknowledge this move towards creating a religious and secular spaces that hold no religious biases- A Place of Faith. There has to be a push to understand what qualities these spaces should convey-timelessness, awe, silence and devotion, what Louis Kahn called the “immeasurable” and Le Corbusier called the “ineffable” and understand if they are still relevant.

As Architects, we have a massive opportunity to reimagine and design a new typology of space that encompasses the ideas of the sacred, evokes the same emotions and beliefs and has the ability to reinforce the idea of Secular or personal faith, without any religious connotations

This Place of Faith for a secular world has the potential be a structure that is destined to become an icon for the entire world and should be an expression of a multitude of ideas.

It should not be inclined or partial to any one particular faith, at the same time respectful of all. Religious yet secular, individualistic yet collective. rational yet atmospheric. Through form, space, scale, materiality and light, the role of these spaces can begin to take on a new form, one that today’s society can benefit from.

The Sacred Space by

archdais 2020

is more sacred then the womb of a mother where life begins?

PROJECT VISION

a unique interpretation of landscape and present an innovative harmony between waterways, land and pedestrian walkways.

1. our natural abode

Located on the outskirts of the bustling capital of Goa, nestled on the island of Divar by the confluence of rivers , shrouded in mystical mangroves and in the home of birds lies a womb of molded clay and-mangled concrete that is a beacon to society.

2. rebirth

A mother’s womb is the beginning of life. A space of great reverence and the origin of the human spirit. In this womb of clay, you are reborn as part of the interconnected human spirit.

3. layers within

The mangled concrete exterior represents our chaotic, violent and selfish nature while our common core energy is represented by the plain natural clay material that is a representation of the humility that were born with.

4. sacred entity

The meta-physical design is rooted in concepts of us being sacred beings in nature. We find ourself constantly in natures design; whether its galaxies in the cosmos to galaxies in our iris’ or the venations on a leaf to veins in our body; we are omnipresent beings.

context

To ensure accessibility from several entry points leading into the interior spaces and circuits of the Plaza. Visitors are invited by gradually introducing the installation with thin streams of running water that accompany the walkways leading everyone toward the main meditation apace.

The height of the walls decreases as pedestrians get closer to the exterior boundaries offering a more human scale from the exterior perspective. Despite its introverted approach of the intervention.

1. visual sense

sunset is drawn through a delicate line hollowed through the earthen wall.

2. thermal sense

wind is invited in through an array of punctures, for thermal activation.

3. aural sense

water flows through human vein-like channels, irrigating nearby fields.

4. tactile sense

5. kinesthetic senses

textures of exposed local materials have been used to direct movement.

inner clay surface texture excites ones tactile senses. minimum intervention to the site has been done to expose natural smell.

6. olfactory sense

material continuity

The materiality concept integrates the installation as a whole monolithic element. The goal is to use a single material to connect all of the elements and create a solid, rough finish. This concrete will be made from local soils, which will give it a soft natural colour.

Concrete’s variety of colour, texture, and finish cater to the plaza’s various needs; walls, floors, and the landscape may appear continuous, but textures vary throughout, offering high transit surfaces, hard landscapes, or underwater surfaces.

I feel, therefore I am;

born of the Earth.

Earth. one with It.

“Architecture is an agent of change, and an architect is a generalist who speculates on how the pieces could fit together in more advantageous ways. One who is concerned with what might be..”

-Charles Correa

The COVID-19 pandemic has restricted the ability to bring people together, and at the same time it has led us to focus more on the more immediate spaces around us.

The aim was to act as facilitators, to develop, design and plan creative solutions within our neighborhoods for more meaningful engagements with residents.

We stated off by analyzing the direct or indirect impact of the Covid-19 on the neighborhood and elaborated on the concept of resilience and refuge areas during the disasters in designing urban housing by taking the infrastructure and amenities to the neighborhood or to the door-steps of people, in housing.

This project intends to boost public ownership over local planning processes by making the local self bodies the catalyst and focus for debate and development.

The project has been developed as a change from the bottom-up rather than from the top-down where people’s participation in design is prioritized.

makerhood low-cost incremental housing for diverse low income working group

PROJECT VISION

The intent of the project is to spark ideas for the physical improvements in neighborhoods, driven by people.

1. flexibility

Provide the final grid of the building along with the catalogue of DU from which a user can chose according to no. of people in the familty. Thereby people get to choose from the units based on their family requirements

2. social upliftment

Design addresses habitat, health conditions, skilled development and employment and promots human connections. The design will not only change lives of street dwellers but also change the social stigma prevalent in our society.

3. resiliant design

The idea for was of a self-sustainable community which would accept people from all backgrounds and give them hope by removing social barriers through quality of common shared spaces.

4. incrimentality

Spaces can be converted as work from home business spaces as and when income comes in. Balconies, terraces and verandahs Sp serve the dual purpose of becoming windows to ourselves and the community

1.the entries

use of pergolas and visual connection to mark the clusters imparting a sense of entry.

2. the streetscape

dignity of space retained through use of facade color and corridors which overlooking in common streets.

3.the transitions

interspread open and semi-open spaces, creating hierarchy of open and covered spaces

4. the cores

centralized spaces for community gatherings, festivals and recreation.

5. landscape connection

Stilts have been avoided so that units can open up to ground level.

6. community spaces

Open and unique learning spaces and programs.

connecting and maintaining proper vehicular access designing w.r.t neighbouring residential housing segregating and develoing massing w.r.t railway line

The site profile determined a street configuration in the front, entered through the gateway of the commercial building and culminated in a large open common garden court around which the remaining buildings were arranged. A green buffer zone allowed the residential development to be set back a bit from the tracks. Vehicular movement is contained to a very small part of the site allowing for a variety of pedestrian networks to crisscross the site-several times terminating in small pocket play areas or a wooded park.

CIRCULATION

Main front road- 12mt wide Service back road- 6mt wide

Vehicular movement is restricted towards exterior and pedestrian movement is allowed through series of courtyards. Private spaces are places away from form Rail line and buffers are created to reduce noise from trains Public spaces are placed closer to main road so as they don’t interfere with private spaces.

COMMUNITY

Clusters are created keeping in mind a sense of dignity which is to be maintained in the neighborhood. Certain typologies are allowed to mixed with one another. The user is given an option of flexibility based on their affordability.

BUILDING FORM

We see the spaces provided as a setting and a backdrop for the humdrum and messiness of daily life to be lived and for nature to begin to take over through the several green spaces provided. Hopefully a community – aware of their similarities and respectful of their differences – will form and flourish here.

CLUSTER 1- Dormitory + EWS

CLUSTER 2- EWS + LIG

CLUSTER 3- LIG + MIG CLUSTER 4- Rental Lodge

By organizing units on the periphery, the set-back becomes a part of the private green space. The paved spine of the layout is contained in the enclosure created by the linear units on the periphery thus realizing the potential of the site to the maximum. The commercial building containing shops, offices and a banquet facility secures the site and the housing behind. User groups have been linked based on economic structure

Local artisans have been prioritized. The elevations were inspired by the indo-portuguese architectural style found in the area. Through uniform façade treatment, equality is maintained. The proportions were inspired by traditional Goan houses. Manglore tiles were used for roofing, and wood was used for railings and window frames.

FLOOR PLANNING

• Designed keeping in mind max light and ventilation.

• Individual courtyards created for each cluster along with a common space for all.

• Stilts have been avoided so that units can open up to ground level.

• Top floor massing is done is such a way that minimum no. of staircase blocks are required.

• Corridors and staircase double up as interaction nodes throughout the building.

• Levels of buildings decided keeping in mind North light.

• Floors restricted to G+3 max to cut down cost of providing lifts and extra fire exit staircase.( Max Height- 13m)

professional practice

The journey from academia to professional projects in the practice, has been a smooth one. The architectural course enables one to not only gain skills particularly in the field of architecture, but also many allied fields such as, graphic design, photography, interior design & various innumerable fields. Each of these, come with their own set of challenges & learnings along the way, enabling one to become more of a whole rounded designer.

Taking on various projects of multiple scales & avenues has helped in having a more holistic & pragmatic approach towards the field. One of the major things that comes with experience is the attention to execution & quality of work produced. Practice bridges that gap between an idea & a product lying before your eyes.

SKETCH OF COURTYARD

Fontainhas in Panjim Goa is built on an alluvial stretch along the Ourem Creek to the east and the low hill of Altinho in Panjim on the west side. This historic precinct gets its name from the famous ‘Fonte- Fenix’ and Fontainhas means ‘little Fountain’ in Portuguese. This region has homes set very close to each other and they continue to retain the colorful elegance that they were built in the 18th and 19th century. The area of study stretched from the St. Thomas Chapel (Sao Tome Chapel) near the Panjim post office till the St. Francis Xavier chapel at Portais.
