SANSKRITI BHAWAN METROPOLITAN CULTURAL REPRESENTATION CENTRE, KOLKATA Type: Fifth Semester, Architectural Design Softwares: Revit, Lumion Site Area: 8500 sq.mt.
Cultural centres are growing in popularity around the world as technology such as the internet helps the world feel more linked. People are getting increasingly interested in different cultures. Cultural centres are an excellent method to bring communities together to study, making it more entertaining and, in some cases, even more beneficial. Classes and cultural events are frequently held at cultural centres, which provide several volunteer opportunities. Volunteering may bring people together and make them feel wonderful. The proposed cultural center's built environment was contextual, inspiring, and self-descriptive to its users.

AN ALTERNATIVE RAILWAY COACH DESIGN IN COVID-19 SCENARIO Type: Fourth Semester, Architectural Design Softwares: Revit, Lumion
The pandemic had an impact not only on producer-consumer interactions, but also on the environment, resulting in a shift in the supply chain. The health crisis halted passenger transportation and greatly reduced air and sea freight capacity, resulting in a favorable environmental impact. However, if containment measures are withdrawn, the low production trend of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is projected to reverse. The development of green new mobility is critical because transportation will play a significant role in the expected rebound effect of GHG emissions. In light of these considerations, this project contends that a new resilient mobility paradigm that satisfies environmental criteria must be established for future health emergencies. As a result, an alternate train carriage design became critical.

Ventilation: Turbo Effect (General Coach)
Ventilation: Suction Duct (General Coach)
External air is arriving through window. And it is inhaled. Now the exhaled air has to pass. And there is a turbo fan which exhausts the inner exhaled air through that openings
This process will appear when the roof openings work in the opposite direction. The turbo fan in the openings stops working and the exhaled air is pushed out by the suction wall and the ducts
Ventilation: Suction Duct (AC Coach)
Jaali Walls
A/C system entraps the air throw the top vents and throw the cool air into the coach. Again the exhaled air is pushed out by the suction wall and the duct
Jaalis are introduced to restrict the cross ventilation. Also they provide an extra flexibility while designing

FUZION A BEAUTY SALON FOR YOUNG ADULTS, MUMBAI Type: Sixth Semester, Interior Design Softwares: Sketchup, Lumion Room Area: 24m X 15m
With changes in technology, Internet exposure, work time and culture, public perception, economic affordability, and fashion styles, the importance of 'Looking Good and Feeling Confident' among urbanites has grown by leaps and bounds. Body grooming and beauty treatments have become a big aspect of urban life, especially for young people. This insight has disastrous consequences in corporate culture and social circles. As a result, Beauty Salons for both male and female adults are springing up all over the place. We were asked to build a unisex Beauty Salon in a city to serve young aspirational people, keeping today's right quantitative and qualitative standards in mind.

VAUDEVILLE AN INTERACTION SPACE WITH OUR LIKE MINDED FRIENDS AND SCIENTIST, MUMBAI Type: Sixth Semester, Interior Design Softwares: Sketchup, Lumion Room Area: 7.5m X 7.5m
The suitable ambiance for the planned function should be reflected in the spaces (s). The space design should be qualitatively appropriate to generate a psychophysical comfort, enlivening phenomenon with positive energy inputs among its users, not just the assembly of plain structure, fenestration, or supportive services. In this light, we're challenged to create a location where we may communicate with our science-loving friends as well as our favorite scientist, our life's inspiration. Anyone can play the role of the Scientist. And the design of the interaction area should be based on the preferences, views, and philosophy of our friends and scientists, as well as our own personal priorities.

Vaudeville is a form of theatre. Which is a mixture of comical situation & dramatic composition. That is why the name's given to the interaction space to signify it's purposes.

As Robert Hooke was a polymath having wide knowledge in various fields, the book shelf has been designed in the form of a human brain where the books represented the knowledge that he had. The book shelf's material can be a light shaded wood in order to bring contrast with the adjacent wall.

In 1653, at the age of 18, Hooke began studying at Christ Church College at the University of Oxford, where he spent much of his time building telescopes. During his observations of the night sky, he analyzed planets and was the first to theorize that Jupiter rotates on an axis. That's why a telescope was placed in the interaction space.

Miscellaneous Extracurricular activities are critical for increasing productivity and enhancing creativity. It always aided my exploration of the power of creative thought and indirectly aided my academics. Art and culture are always depicted through graphic design and photography. Photos not only capture the moment, but also the context in which it occurs. As a result, I've put my photographs, as well as my graphic design and illustration work, in this section.
