The roots run deep in the town of Srirangapatana. It's historical significance forms the essence of town along with the religious and cultural aspects. Hence any new integration should reflect and extract from its past. The design program focuses on rejuvinating and activating interaction and historical elements through different scales of micro, meso and macro interventions.

Building a stronger community directly revolves around building a better ecosystem around the ccommunity. Madiwala is centered around the lake and its rich Flora and fauna, and hence the focus of this design is to signify that and bring the community together whilst giving back to the environment. The research and development centre for ornithology emphasizes on the migratory birds of the lake and makes the procedure of research a much more transparent and inclusive version of itself.

BALANCED Medical Campus Design Kanakpura Road, Bengaluru Semester VI
25
At time we forget that doctors are only human they can feel as overhelming as we do, if not more. A medical college represents a journey where a person takes on the responsibilty of lives, quite literally. Throughout their five years in campus they move through the same spaces. Hence the experiential quality and efficiency of the spaces are of utmost importance. The main idea behind the design is to bring about a balance between their mental health and daily activities. Medical studies are difficult and can use a breather. Hence the introduction of ying-yang, and zen gardens forms the backbone of the space making parameters.

THE HOUSE 2.0 BY ARCHDAIS
Poornam is an expression of existence. The conjunction of lineage and contemporary needs. Situated in Jodhpur, India, it connects the roots of rich Rajasthani culture to the post pandemic world where the house becomes the vessel of existence. The sacred aura of the take on the step wells of western India not only maintains the sanctity of the mind but also makes the house come alive when dadi sits with her grandchildren narrating stories of a different plague. The structure also houses all the hiding spots in the various terraces and jharokas for the restless children locked up in the house. Handling the business of the whole house, dad sits in the prime spot overlooking the courtyard from his verandah with his morning newspaper and tea; however, by the time he wakes up, the morning pooja and ritual in the sacred garden under the adorned rising sun is already done and the courtyard is busy with sound of grinding spices and dried achaar. The house comes alive with chaos and withers down into the calmness of the shade of the tree, the still water and finally the starry night.

Story-telling can change lives, and Architecture is but the physical form of a narration.
