The bus stand being near the junction connecting the apartment road and the NH – 66 creates a havoc for movement. The road is narrow for two way vehicular movement. The road leads to the apartment complex and hence needs to be widened to make way for free flow of pedestrian and vehicular movement. The drainage system needs to be redesigned .

Enclosure design: Site: gokarn, ka • The site chosen is a contoured terrain at gokarna. • The design challenge is to create an enclosure for the various activities. • The design is executed in a way that the terrain in itself acts as an enclosure for the different activities. • The user experiences a different atmosphere within each designated space for the activity • Enclosed spaces, semi-enclosed spaces, an enclosure within an enclosure and also is extended to the different elements of lighting, walkway, roofing and other surroundings. • The decision to hollow out the ground for this enclosure was based on the fact that gokarna has a semi tropical moderate climate.. – To avoid this heat and humidity • One of the objectives was to use traditional and local materials-mother of pearl and provide the locals of the area with work

Dramanon is an 11 year old theatre company with it's roots in the student-town of Manipal. Since 2006, we have had chapters in Bangalore & Hyderabad as well, which have grown rapidly to be amongst the most prolific theatre fraternities in these cities. Recently noted by India Today magazine as one of the "Top Emerging Theatre Companies in India", Dramanon, with it's fast-growing fan-base, is now in the process of rapidly scaling-up operations to be among the best theatre groups in the country. I worked for 6 productions with DRAMANON during college, including Comikaze 1 and 2 -the comedy fest. I designed posters, teasers, tickets and was the Head of Set Department for 5 productions.
