ABOUT ME Learning is a long journey. My journey started a while back, since then I’ve come across many things, having developed an opinion at an early stage, I started collecting experiences in my mind as positive and negative.

Learning is a long journey, and I believe that my journey has just started. I believe there is much for me to see, feel and experience in this world, not just to be a better designer, but to be a better problem-solver.

Learning is a long journey, and at times it has been scary for me to look forward and see another road, that I must travel to get somewhere and to be someone. But I believe we must keep moving to reach your end goal.

Miscellaneous

Naraina Vihar, New Delhi

Residence for the Gupta family, a family of 6 members, including two kids. The owner was very open minded and willing to try new and innovative things. The residence has two habitable floors (G+1), and two open to air-nature floors, which houses spaces for entertainment and a forest type garden.

NSIC Grounds, New Delhi

India Design ID, by Ogaan Media is a showcase in form of an exhibition of home decor, across categories like furniture, accessories, kitchens, furnishing, lighting and plenty more, with other interactive events like symposium. M:oFA Studio was invited in 2017 to be a design partner and create exhibits to tie up the event.

Jim Corbett, Dhela, UK

Spread over 7 acres, away from the mainstream hotels and resorts of Jim Corbett, Golden Tusk is a family run resort, which amplifies the beauty of the area by housing exotic flora and fauna on property site. The property was such a success in its first phase that the client acquired new area for expansion of the resort.

Chatterhouse, Sharma Residence, DPS School, Goa Bazaar Apart from the major projects dealt with and handled by me, I worked on various other tasks for other projects. Some of my work includes Media presentation for Chatterhouse, Khan Market; working drawings for Sharma Residence, conceptual planning and design for DPS, Tran Taran and conceptual visualization for Goa Bazaar.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE M:oFA DESIGN STUDIO, KALKAJI, N. DELHI PROFESSIONAL WORK / 2016-17 / GUPTA RESIDENCE A residential project has many meanings to many people. To the owner it may be a view to where he wants to get in life. To the city it may be a start of something new. To the neighbors it may become a landmark. To an architect it may be a big step into the new. This project was all that and much more. Based in Naraina Vihar, New Delhi, home to a family of four adults and two children. The project could be considered by many as an architects project, since the owner was not only open to new ideas, but himself wanted push the envelope on what a residence could be, how it could look and how it could function.

The project helped me understand the relationship between the site and an architectural office, and how to manage the same. The project also helped me exploring new materials, new construction details, and increase my overall skill and experience in the field.

ABOUT THE TEMPLE A residence is about the users habits, routines and the way of doing things, and is always best designed around those aspects of his life.

The family wanted to have a temple in the house, and we proposed to build something befitting to the importance of religion in their life.

The form of the temple is derived from various elements in nature and what connects us to religion. It occupies the heart of the house and stretches from the basement all the way to the second floor of the house. Its not just an architectural element for the aesthetics but also talks a lot about the people living in the house and their way of life.

TEMPLE STRUCTURE PEEK INTO OTHER ELEMENTS As much as the bigger elements like the elevation define a residence, it's the smaller elements that define the feel and experience of it all. These smaller elements don't just leave a lasting impression in a visitors mind, but also help in making the space less monotonous to the person that lives in it everyday.

SPATIAL DESIGNING M:oFA DESIGN STUDIO, KALKAJI, N. DELHI PROFESSIONAL WORK / 2017 / INDIA DESIGN 2017 Exhibition events hold a very important place in our society and for all professionals and an industry. It is an opportunity for people or the industry to showcase their work on a large scale, which is not possible in normal course of day. For a society, exhibitions are generally about education and culture, and in many ways shows how mature a society is. Exhibitions have different experience for everyone coming to attend, from a lay-man to an industry mogul, everyone can find something new, and keep pushing the advancements in an industry forward, the perfect example, The Great Exhibition. India Design is one such event, where the building/construction/architectural industry showcases the best of itself. It is one event where architectural industry is given lead.

Spatial treatment of the whole exhibition was the task at hand for the studio. We were able to come up with structures that were user-interactive, and could enhance the overall look and feel of India Design 2017. This project was a site-work intensive project for me, and helped me grasp the importance of time and hard-work that goes into each site to meet deadlines.

INSIGHT The site for the exhibition is the famous NSIC Ground, Okhala, New Delhi, and had a typical layout with 4 halls created around the permanent structure, which would be used for symposiums and other events with audio-visuals.

The concept we developed was inspired by trees and how our growing concrete jungle is felling more trees everyday. The concept allowed us to showcase the true scale of the event to the people attending it. We tried to recreate trees with the urban material of steel/metal. Taking inspiration from the form and other physical and functional qualities that makes trees and our environment so versatile.

AERIAL MAPPING AND SITE STUDY M:oFA DESIGN STUDIO, KALKAJI, N. DELHI PROFESSIONAL WORK / 2016-17 / GOLDEN TUSK RESORT, CORBETT Golden tusk resort in Corbett, was a project already done by the design studio. The owners had come back to the studio for the extension of the property. Being a resort already designed by us, the owners asked the entire team to visit the site and stay to get the experience they had created with the M:oFA design. They wanted us to better understand how they want the new part of land acquired connect and be a piece of the existing resort.

This is one of my first projects where I was able to do aerial mapping of the site, and connect our plans to the actual built design. We also did a extensive site study, to make the new block area designed to the best of the given conditions.

ABOUT THE SITE The site itself is not a regular shaped site. The owner has acquired pieces of land from different people in the area to form the main site.

The irregular shape becomes a challenge for the studio to bring out the best in it. The existing site, as designed in the first phase, has been separated out in different blocks in the layout and further separated with the vegetation. This has created a special experience for the guests of the resort, as each room has its own niche and a micro space. This separation further helps in making the resort site feel much bigger than it actually is. The flora also makes the site feel more natural, and is aesthetically very pleasing, and gives the visitor a feel of the national park.

YEAR 4 / 2015 / URBAN DESIGN STUDIO

Based in the populated area of AIIMS, INA, aurobindo marg, New Delhi, the urban design problem is one faced by many Delhiites on a daily basis. Urban level planning and intervention is needed to give this area life again

YEAR 3 / 2015 / DESIGN STUDIO

Based in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. Delhi is an up and coming world city. Being the capital of the country, it plays an important role not just for it’s local citizens, but for citizens of the country. While the city is moving at a very fast pace, socio-cultural activities are not able to cope up, one of the major reason being, lack of proper infrastructure.

YEAR 3 / 2014 / DESIGN STUDIO

Based in Dwarka Sector -26, New Delhi. The population in Delhi is exploding, and in the race to earn a livelihood, many are not able to afford a proper standard of housing. Group housing has been one of the solutions to this problem, where affordable high-rise structures are providing this ever increasing population of Delhi a place to call home.

URBAN INTERVENTION INA AND ITS PRECINTS YEAR 4 / 2015 / DESIGN STUDIO INA and its precincts are located at one end of Aurobindo Marg, with Qutub Complex and Mehrauli on the other end of this road. INA and its precincts include AIIMS and Safdarjang Hospital; Vikas Sadan, Laxmi Bai Nagar, West Kidwai Nagar, the new development of East Kidwai Nagar, INA colony and the INA market. All the places in this region lead to a culmination of many different activities, including office people commuting to Vikas Sadan, CVC office; people shopping at INA market and Dilli Haat; others at AIIMS; and all the other activities of three residential colonies. Another important fact that makes this region all the more important is the fact that Aurobindo Marg is a high density road and helps disburse around the city on a large scale.

The region is in urgent need of design rejuvenation, since it is a historically and culturally important place for Delhi, and it was not originally designed for the kind of density, traffic movement and environment that currently exists. It is and has always been an important area considering Safdarjung tomb, airport, and now INA to keep up its requirement.

The design studio aims at creating a better understanding of architecture on a city level scale, where design interventions have an effect on a city-wide scale. The study of cause and effect of design intervention also creates an awareness about design strategies. The scale of the project plays an important factor, since management of work load and time efficiency are put to a test.

DILLI HAAT AND KASHMIRI HAAT Dilli Haat is already a well established cultural center, relocating and rehabilitating Kashmiri Haat makes this area a cultural hub which will attract thousands of visitors, renovation of the exisitng plan of Dilli Haat to give it more space and a well worked parking also helps to make it more comfortable.

ARCH Arch acts as the gateway to the starting and the end of Aurobindo Marg. It also unites and ties up the two distinct features of this new area.

SIGNAL FREE ROAD A signal free road plays an important part in disbursing trafďŹ c and that too at a fast pace.

This plays an important role since the vehicular movement in the area is high. It also makes the roads safer and less prone to accidents.

TRANSPORTATION HUBS

Apart from the already existing movement pedestrians and vehicles for Vikas Sadan a other institutional buildings along with AIIM Safdarjung hospitals, new movement creat Dilli Haat, INA, Tree of Hope and Kashmiri H needs proper management to provide easy accessibility. Transportation hub facilitates accessibility via all public transport.

TREE OF HOPE A recreational plaza, visible from all over the city, with light shows to accentuate the space, to create a public space for both the citizens and tourists to enjoy the view of the city.

INA REHABILITATION INA has been rehabilitated to include new shops, increasing the overall standard and capacity of the market from a grocery and meat market to a market serving both the basic and recreational needs of the surrounding, which also helps to reduce trafďŹ c movement.

ABOUT THE DESIGN The design ideology that was followed was aimed to elevate and bring the design and quality of the area to an international level, to make the place more pleasurable for the visitors and visitorfriendly. We have tried to convert Aurobindo Marg into a signal-free corridor in the region, which helps to open up blockades created by cross-walking citizens. This brings us to another important aspect of the design ideology, which was to keep the design not only pedestrianfriendly but to actually make it pedestrian oriented as much possible with the given restrictions.

We have also created designated parking zones for both public and private vehicals, as a major identiďŹ ed problem is unplanned auto-rickshaw stands which create a ruckus.

PROPOSED SITE CONTOUR AND HEIGHT VARIATION

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT The site has been so planned, that the natural and existing elements of the site are highlighted.

Using the natural elements also helps protect the interest of the site, since it is in close proximity to Sultan Garhi Tomb, which is an ASI protected monument.

The main aim hence became to create an axis not only with the tomb, to give it importance, but also to make a connection with the water-body and the undulation of the land.

The focal point of the planning is the administration block, which maintains a direct link with the tomb and also connects to the site and all the buildings. The administration block helps to place the buildings in such a way that none of them block each others view, and at the same time, a clear view of the tomb and the water body is possible from any block or building. This creates an equilateral triangle on both major levels of the site.

CRUCIAL ELEMENTS OF LAYOUT DESIGN: 1. Bring out the connection of the site with the tomb, 2. Utilizing the drop of level, 3. Preserving the natural slope and the water body on the site LEVEL DROP OF 5 M

CO-OPERATIVE GROUP HOUSING SOCIETY SECTOR - 26, DWARKA, NEW DELHI YEAR 3 / 2014 / DESIGN STUDIO Shelter is a basic human need. Shelter is one of our basic needs: it is a place that can protect us from the elements, keep us warm and safe, and give us the encouragement to satisfy our other needs. Housing satisďŹ es the need of belonging, gives a sense of safety and provides for a comfortable physical environment. Considering the out growth of population in India, there is a need to provide sustainable housing at the same pace, otherwise more and more people will have to live without proper shelter. This proposal may be implemented by Private ownership. The design studio aims at creating an understanding of function driven design keeping in line with the given norms and regulations, as per the city’s civic authority. Importance is also given to climatic conditions, basic human needs, sustainability.

ABOUT THE PROJECT The project is located at sector 26 ,Dwarka, the site is accessible via 30m wide main road and 20m wide service road, giving it good accessibility.

Adjacent to the proposed site exists Bharthal Village covering an area of 4.48Ha. The site surroundings are proposed as Residential zones in the Master Plan of the city.

The project caters to a high population density of 1.75 dwelling unit per hectare, with HIG and MIG housing, apart from the necessary housing for EWS. Thus, a total of 720 units are required for the group housing.

WORKING DRAWINGS

YEAR 4 / 2015 / DISSERTATION Cities in this era have started become a mess, which planners and designers continually try to fix so that they can keep functioning. One of the major reason for this can be linked to how our cities are economic centers, and more and more people are migrating to these urban centers for growth. Vertical Cities is a possible solution for the cities of the future.

ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION / 2014 / SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMME There are many buildings and structures around the world which were never completed and were never used, only left behind by the stumps or the unfinished structures. This summer programme tries to find out, what could be if those buildings were actually completed, and what can the stumps left behind be used for, today.

YEAR 3 / 2014 / BUILDING CONSTRUCTION One of the most important part of being an architect is being a designer, and by definition a designer is a problem-solver. For an architect, the concept design or the aesthetics, are arguably not the most important things, it’s the drawings. GCC or working drawings are the actual medium which help any technical designer transform his idea into reality. A good working drawing can mean the idea coming to life, and a bad one can result in the opposite.

VERTICAL CITY A F U T U R E O F S U S TA I N A B L E C I T Y YEAR 4 / 2015 / DESSERTATION

People have imagined ideal cities for millennia. Plato's Republic was an ideal city, although lacking in the spatial detail of later schemes.

Renaissance architects designed numerous geometric cities, and ever since architects have been the chief source of imaginative urban proposals. In the twentieth century, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Paolo Soleri, and dozens of other architects have designed cities on paper. Although few have been realized in pure form, they have influenced the layout of many new towns and urban redevelopment projects.

In his "Contemporary City for Three Million People" of 1922 and "Radiant City" of 1935, Le Corbusier advocated a high-density urban alternative, with skyscraper office buildings and mid-rise apartments placed within park-like open spaces. Different land uses were located in separate districts, forming a rigid geometric pattern with a sophisticated system of superhighways and rail transit.

Frank Lloyd Wright envisioned a decentralized low-density city in keeping with his distaste for large cities and belief in frontier individualism. Areas are also carefully set aside for small farms, light industry, orchards, recreation areas, and other urban facilities.

A network of superhighways knits the region together, so spatially dispersed facilities are actually very close in terms of travel time.

So what will the ideal city of the future? How will our cities evolve to fulfill our growing needs? What will be the main ideas around which our cities will develop and grow?

The vision of a new Vertical City is inspired by how the current urban planning approach that is rooted in the environmentally harmful, energy inefficient, and unsustainable post-World War II mentality of cheap fossil fuels, car ownership, and an exhausted transportation system, and needs a drastic change for the future. It is a call for a new paradigm to address the urgent problems of unprecedented human population totals and tidal waves of rural migration into cities.

The solution it seems lies in the optimization of population density, thereby changing every important aspect of a city. A Vertical City is a high-capacity, high-efficiency ultra-tall buildings occupying a relatively small car-free, pedestrian friendly parcel of land.

In my view, A Vertical City starts with a large piece of land. Then there is a raised podium above which the city exists. The city is surrounded by green land, cropland, and agricultural land. And then rise out of the podium, ultra-high towers, some 250 floor, and even 400 floors above the podium.

These tower connected to each other via bridge like Sky Lobby, which are green and have people shopping, drinking, relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, or just socializing. These sky lobbies are like “village centres”, where people naturally gather, local artists, performers, and even street vendors displaying their skills.

Surrounding this city is open croplands, which help to get produce for the city, which also give a beautiful open view of green lands to the citizens from their ultra-high tower. These farmlands also act as a buffer between the existing city and its gimmicks, separating the two out, connected via a super-highway.

U N B U I LT L O N D O N LO N D O N S T U M P S ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION / 2014 / SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMME From Cedric Price’s Fun Palace, to Winston Churchil’s Was Room, and the hundreds of spaces, buildings, and years in between and since, London is characterised by the seminal projects that define the form and culture of the city. London has been shaped by both the built and unbuilt projects throughout its history.

At the school we aimed to invent, speculate and design our own London Project by inventing new worlds to challenge the status quo. The programme aims to challenge students to consider London’s major projects as propositions that suggest new architectures alongside cultural, political and social repositioning of the city.

STUMP AS IT EXISTS

WOODEN CONNECTIONS

The point of departure is the ‘stump’: an abandoned structure that was destined to become a tower on the London skyline.

We study and replace a failed London tower using our own imagination. We then built a structure that carries Victorian optimism and embraces a future vision for London.

London’s two stumps, the Pinnacle and Watkin’s Tower were objects of their designers’ highest ambitions to create the tallest and most complex structure in the skyline of London. They do not only represent engineering ingenuity: they were meant to be an icon, a tourist attraction and a market-driven idea that fell just short of riding their wave of momentum.
