HARPREET NAYYAR

Architecture is more about the felt aura than just visuals. An architect’s duty is to create a space that welcomes and cherishes everyone. To me great architecture is a play of all five senses. My learnings through these three years have allowed me to grow and review upon the notion of architecture not only as a built structure but as expressing oneself as an artist understanding his soul.

My experience and the specific skills I have honed thus far include project management with emphasis on creativity and exploration, team building, and project development.

This been evident in my portfolio consisting of design projects from my fifth semester. I am looking for the postion of Architecture Intern in July 2023, being my intership semester then.

The main idea behind the design was to escape from an endless road traveling experience. No more cars, roads or traveling. The Jali Facade works as a barrier between our retreat and your endless car journey.

The building provides a completely different experience at night. Replacing morning sunlight play by carefully placed lights at night, creating a calm cozy environment throughout.

The design embraces variability with extensive glass panels that capture the splendor of the changing skies, and Lahori Bricks in central and exterior sheltered spaces. Copper used for Parametric Jali keeps changing its state with varied weather.
