Ocean harbour
design development
This work involved the development of a series of urban structure alternatives for Oceanharbour- two piers which were part of city’s former port activities but now have huge development potential because of their proximity to city centre. The work was done in an active dialogue with various experts groups from the planning department. The first phase concluded into ‘plan program’ document.

site studies After the Olympics, the site is globally associated with the Athletics Stadium and the Aquatic centre. The presence of these landmarks in close proximity and on the south side of the site generate imbalance in the utilization of the Olympic park as a whole. Differences in character of the northern and southern part is proposed such that both can have distinct but complementary identity.

The project focuses on the relationship between a specific public place and its users- the judiciary buildings in India. The core and periphery relationship is explored in the operation of a the given system, its architectural expression and public spaces
the flexible interface
redesigning the public realm of a judiciary building, delhi
undergraduate studio 9 individual design project
introduction The Indian judiciary buildings are almost always complemented with a paraphernalia of public functions which grow around the main court buildings out of sheer necessity and yet are ironically enough never part of the larger design. These public functions include sheltered place for typists and stamp vendors, offices for lawyers, public facilities of making photocopies, phone calls etc, public toilets etc. The project strives to understand the relation between a public place and its users in and at the same time sought for specific solutions related to the functioning of judiciary building.

2. initial architectural expression to develop a free flowing and organic envelope around the rigid central mass.
3. thinking of connections and developing the ‘in-between’ spaces between built volumes.

architectural concerns
- user friendly interface: Developing the body of these peripheral functions as a transparent envelope which also becomes a user friendly interface to outside public. - decentralization: Introducing multi layered public realm which shall complement the exhaustive usage of the main building. - customization: A need for customization with in a larger framework so as to enable a more efficient utilization of available space for offices and storage space.
design approach The existing coconut plantation on the site required a building design that would harmoniously sit amongst the trees. programmatically, the guest house required self sufficient units which were also loosely connected with certain common facilities.
