01 STREET DESIGN FOR THE TRANSGENDERS BHUBANESWAR, ODISHA
Bhubaneshwar is one of the oldest planned cities in India. An emerging information technology (IT) and education hub, Bhubaneswar is one of the country’s fastest-developing cities. But is it really developed in the truest sense? Even though it is known to be a modern city, it is not difficult to find a lot of contrasting images within the city that speak otherwise. One such image can be seen along the highway that serves as a transition between the old city and the new city of Bhubaneshwar. On one side of the road one will find well-built and well-maintained hospitals, educational institutions, museums. While the other side is miserably shabby. Power, knowledge, prowess, vs. Weakness, inferiority, bleakness. The transgenders living here are often seen begging on the streets and bus stops, and are involved in sex work during the night time. But do you think they do this willingly? Or are they victims of the social stigma that exists in our society?
“THE ORIGINAL POSTER”
The site is divided into 3 sections- public, a broad green stretch and semi-private. The paved pedestrian pathway is often used by little children to play and temporary vendors. One can even witness drivers driving cars on this pathway. The green stretch is interchangeably used for parking bikes and autos, drying clothes and swings. The semi-private unpaved pathway which falls right in front of the Kinnar houses is poorly developed and hardly offers any privacy to the inhabitants. It comprises of shops like mini grocery shops, tea stalls and barbers shops. The design looks towards the very personality of a Kinnar. The design is based on the exterior masculanity and the interior feminine character of a Kinnar. The exterior masculanity is provided by the steel pipe framework whereas the interiors are given a feminine character using the shades of magenta and organic surface finishes.
02 ELEVATED CYCLE TRACK NEW DELHI INSDAG TOP 10
The aim of this design is to explore potential of Steel as a versatile material for architectural and engineering expression through innovative thoughts and intend in smart cities. We were expected to evolve a new prototype design for above mentioned ‘Elevated Cycle Track’ based on road typologies, which can be replicated with minor variations, in similar situations, all across the major cities in our country including the roposed smart cities. The design should reflect the rapid development path that our county is professing as well as project image of contemporary India. It should also ensure ease of access, interesting visual experience and high safety. Added to this the overall form should be innovative, attractive and iconic. Most importantly the innovations in the Steel design must be clearly presented.
“DESIGN DERIVATION” The concept that we used will be the use of steel elements in a way that it reflects the architectural timeline of New Delhi which is incidentally being reflected by the local monuments located in vicinity to the given pathway. It would help the localites understand the past, present and future of the city’s architecture as well seek to preserve the look of the old monuments in a modern approach ie using various elements of steel. During the day, the structure will act as an alternative local landmarks for the residing populace and have a look which, in a way, will mould into the cityscape whereas at night time, the whole track will depict a different story. The structure will glow, creating a sense of security and boundary.
The whole part is a Cable Stayed Bridge structure with 30 m tall truss pylons. The deck has steel beams and truss which holds the concrete cycling slab. The pylons and the deck work as the skeleton of the structure. The pylons are covered by iron frame and wire mesh to form a sculptural replica of the fort towers of the sultanate era. A modern cable stayed bridge forming a prominent skyline but at night a viewer gets a feel of a Sultanate Fort Facade breathing within the modern City of Delhi.
03 INDIAN INSTITUTE of MANAGEMENT RANCHI, JHARKHAND
The Indian Institute of Management. Ranchi, abbreviated IIm Ranchi, is to be a public business school located in Ranchi, Jharjhand, India. Is the the ninth IIM established in 2010. IIM Ranchi odders a 2 year PGDM and PGDHRM, 5 year fellowship programme and Executive Programmes. The proposed design project envisages having a world class campus which shall be a seat of learning as per international standard strength but also remember the roots from which it originates.
BUILDING FOOR PRINT : 31.7% Cycle track provided to encourage use of cycles aming student. Tracks are placed strategically so as to attract use of students
ROADS : 2.3%
LANDSCAPING : 62%
PAVING : 14.8%
IIncludes 2 way lane metalled road running round the campus.
Includes all the landscaped or green area existing on the site. Includes vegetable garden, contoured regions etc.
Not completely hard paved, softscaping elements exist in between the are which has represented in this diagram.
MDP BLOCK & ADMINISTRATIVE BLOCK
My visualisation of most of the campus buildings is a rather ‘vertical placement’ of these courtyard quarters purposed into spaces according to needs and addressing the general crunch of space and need for future expansion.
An excavated map of the ancient Nalanada.
The reason behind choosing Nalanda as an inspiration is because of the contextual importance the Nalanda had in this region during the time of the powerful Magadha Empire in Eastern region of central India. Philosophers and learners from distant lands came here for sharing and gaining knowledge which developed this region as a hub of knowledge rather than just a powerful empire.

STAGE 4
Concept is derieved from the planning style of the ancient Nalanda University in the region that stands in ruins today. The Nalanda courtyard “viharas” or living quarters placed side by side, in a horizontal manner.

STAGE 2
ACADEMIC BLOCK
(FACULTY BLOCK & LECTURE HALLS)
The whole academic block has been divided into 4 wings of 2 floor each so as to serve each department adequately. The walking distance from faculty block to its associated lecture hall block is not more than 70m of walking distance which provides comfort to the preofessors to access their assigned lecture halls and helps students identify blocks with ease.
LIBRARY & COMPUTER CENTER
Cut outs at various spaces to ease the pressure on pwer required for lighting. The building is oriented and passive building strategies are used in order to prevent glare and heat gain from SW sun. This will also help eae up pressure on air conditioning system needed to sustain the building on a typical hot and sunny day. Conditioning of library spaces only though vegetation pockets anAd use of heat reflecting materials such as flyash based concrete, red laterite stones and polycarbonate sheets. Below is a collage of the interior of the library space which displays the use of concerete grey and red laterite stones flanked by polycarbonate cover and internal vegetation.

04 HEALTH CARE CENTER RANCHI, JHARKHAND
The design problem required us to design a healtchcare centre in a rural context ie for a township of around 5000 residets. The basic aim was to design a simple and efficient design that could be easily accessible to the people visiting the dacility and a sustainable design that would reflect the vernacular style of the region. The zoning of the building was done in accorance to the kind of activity to be held ie casual or emergency services. So keeping in mind all the spaces to be provided in the first floow with access to it by ramp. By this, the emergency rooms could be isolated from the general populace.

05 THE FLOATING MARKET RANCHI, JHARKHAND
Known as the “city of waterfalls�, ranchi has always had an abundance of surface water in the form of ponds, lakes nd rivers. But the massive influx of population in the last two decades has resulted in the negligence and deterioration of their pristine waters. The number of these surface water bodies have decreased from 100 to 42 in the last 2 decades. The constant tussle for land ownershipbetween the authorities and the people has not degraded the quality of water in these lakes but also marred its actual state of condition. Wht we tried to do was bridge this gap and provide a solution to this problem by making a floatable solution.

06 AN ARCHITECT’S OFFICE RANCHI, JHARKHAND
An architect’s office is his haven of creativity. The interior of such an office not only affects the work environment for the fellow junior architects but also sets an impression on the client’s mind, that yes, These professionals are very capable of handling their projects. The setting, the furniture and the overall environment of the interiors helps improve the productivity of the studio. Keeping all these factors in mind, this design tries to comprehend all these factors and produce results accordingly. A touch of minimalism along the sensation of raw textures would rightly serve the purpose and produce the best results.
Minimal wooden shelf inspired fro the egg-crate facade design complimented by a simple indoor tree and a coffee table and chair.
Minimal concrete shelf which is incorporated with the wll itself and mede on site. It gives a raw look to the interior and helps storage of important documents.
Lighting is provided by skylights or hanging ceiling ights. The partitions are made of polycarbonate framed sheets which gives a glowing view when the lights are on inside. The transulecency can be set before ordering the product. A small coffee table with 3-4 desiger chairs are provided to preserve the minimalist approach.
ENTRY LEVEL FLOOR PLAN
SEMI - BASEMENT FLOOR PLAN Orange is known to instigate thought and creativity, hence very apt to be used in ceilings. The HVAC will be painted the same to add to the metallic finish of the ducts. The basement is lighted up using skylight in day anf ceiling light hangers at night. The walls are exposed and painted to give a feeling of infinity and a sense of “blank canvas�, on which the architects can visualize their designs.v

BITOTSAV PAVILION 2015
SKETCHING Sketching has been a passion for me since the very beginning. Funnily enough, I took keen interest in sketching out isometric views of many ancient cities, inspired from a popular game series named Age of Empires which is what developed my interest in a building and it’s beauty, and later on architecture itself. Though these sketches may not be the best, they certainly do help me stay in touch with my design ideology anf style that I prefer, hence help me develop my own style.
