EcoArt Quad

Location: South Quad, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Indiviual Project The “EcoArt” quad project takes inspiration from the concepts of Patricia Johanson and her conjucture of Environmental planning and Art, for landscape architecture. The Quad is re-designed to ease movement in the existing site which focuses on pockets of spaces that are designed to be both ecological and social. The background grid is imaged as combination patches of green spaces that are combination of patches that focus on bio retention areas for the site, enhancing plant pockets that are also pollinator gardens, and lawn areas that are flexible spaces for the people to use. The idea remains to propose to a site that is social and environmentally balanced.

Novartis Campus Park

Location: Novartis Campus, Zurich, Switzerland Indiviual Project The project involved dissecting and understanding of Novartis Campus Park located inside the Novartis headquarters in Switzerland designed by Van Gogt Landscape Architects. The park’s design echoes the Rhine’s geomorphic and vegetative phenomena. The design references its surroundings, geologically and botanically, working mainly with natural vegetation. One of the main features of this park is it’s Hohlweg, which are narrow track cut into rammed earth walls, which are overgrown with vegetation. The study involved studying the park from it’s different layers and making a scale model to understand it’s materiality and features.

URBAN DESIGN - MARG Location: Indore, India Indiviual Project

The studio focused on designing an Urban center, for the housing community of Aranya in Indore, India. Aranya Low cost housing is a community designed by B.V Doshi, with the intent of it being an incremental housing. My design was focused on desigining a community center in the housing following it’s exisiting street patterns. The intent of design was to design a “Marg” whichmeans a street, using the existing typology ofthe sectors designed in the housing. The design was inserted as a diagonal street to the existing sectors, thus acting as a street itself, connecting the movement and the activities to it’s existing Urban context, while responding to the community and being incremental in nature.

The studio aimed at designing a housing in an environment conductive for co existence to what the site offers in terms of it’s resources, economic situations, historic context and existing typology. My design concept was to inhabit the community spaces in relation to my unit design and my site placement. The process that I took forward focused on responding to ‘part to whole’ and ‘whole to part’. Addressing the existing pre-historical context of Dariyapur. Developing the housing in relation to the past, present and the future. The units were designed to be flexible, as for future upscale for the project.

Urban Mapping - Ahmedabad Heritage League Location: Ahmedabad Indiviual work and Team work

The workshop aimed at mapping a part of the old city through documentation with maps, photos, videos, sketches and proposals. The city was thoroughly understood in aspects like heights, age of the buildings, drainage slopes, parking, waste managment, destroyed and ruined buildings and vegetation. The set of maps were then used to give different proposals to the city for arising problems in field of environment, planning, architecture, social issues etc.

Professional Works Location: Ahmedabad, India Indiviual work and Team Work

The project involved designing a weekend farm house for the client, with requirements of a bungalow, outdoor swimming pool and deck area along with home garden facility. The plot was redesigned with green lawn spaces, that were flexible to use for various activities, and a two bedroom courtyard house was designed to host the people. The project became an interesting combination of architecture and landscape design, in a way where landscape became a threshold for the built.
