Architecture is like experimentation on a plain paper. The more you mould it or scribble on it, the more interesting things are going to be.

SUSTAINIBILITY APPROACH
Floor plates are extended to reduce the direct heat gain, extended area is utilized as roof gardens.
The use of low-e and low-iron glass so that is can reduce 62% of heat but still able to maintain 73% sunlight.
No surface parking is given to reduce the oveall heat ingress effect.
Teracotta flasks are used in cooling chambers which cools air by evaporative cooling and consumes minimal amount of water.
Placement of buildings in such a way to create alley in between for a continious flow of air
Utilization of green rooftops to provide a recreational area, thus reducing the overall heat ingress effect.
Placement of solar panels on the roof top of office complex to support electricity needs for the complex
The use of low emission buildings paints and coatings.
Atrium to allow light and smooth air flow in the building, it also allows stack effect.
Exhibition area as a public space and water retention area.

ISBT HAMIRPUR 2015 | Design Studio | NITH
Aim is to design a terminus building in Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, due to incompatibility of existing terminus to handle the needs. Approach involves designing a contemporary building to create an intial icon of the city which describes its developing character, as terminal buildings are meeting points with the cities they belong to. That’s why they have to be catchy with unique and symbolic values.
Terminal building is designed with a well topographic analysis of the introduced site. Approach is to involve top of the terminus into harmonizing commercial complex. The site is proposed on the way to Nadaun, 2 kms away from existing terminus,. The convenience of the linkage to the local road of outer states and to the city center were the reasons why this area is preferred. Site is located in a valley having steep contours and natural drainage going through, design challenges to combine commercial complex and bus terminus into steep topography of the site.

The natural stone texture, concrete finish, indentation, natural fillings and gaps and sheltering urge compose the originating point of the structure in the mysterious topography of Hamirpur. A gradual level diffrence of 5 metres is provided situating the two built masses on varying contours and connecting them together.

URBAN GREENS
2014 | Institute for Steel Development & Growth | Delhi As a design entry for INSDAG the project impliments the best innovative use of steel in architecture. Breif directs to use steel as a medium of architectural expression and in exploiting numerous advantages of structural steel as a material of construction. Project includes application of hyperbolic form to bear excessive dead load of Vertical Farms.
Design sets out as implimentation of hyperbolic equations and properties of hyperbola to withstand exessive dead load of structure.
Hyperbolic Amalgamation Combination of Hyperbolic Curvature to attain stablity and enhanced viewpoint platform. Intertwining Together Three such units have been intertwined together to add to the overall surface area

600mm dia. hollow steel bars running throughout the structure providing outer film, aesthetics & structural stability
The fenestration acts as an envelope for the building to provide the required shade and ventilation required for the cultivation.
NEED Delhi has one of the highest population density in the country. More than 20 million people crowd into this very small city. Land here comes at a premium, forcing people to expand up rather than out. There is minimal amount of farm land left in Delhi which tuns out to scarce of freshly picked vegetables in the premisis. Maintaining that supply of food from so many foreign sources is a monumental task. Every night hundred of trucks enter Delhi from adjacent states and beyond, unloading their cargo of fruit and vegetables at this central wholesale market. From here the food is loaded into smaller trucks and delivered throughout the city before sunrise.
32nd Floor, offsetting outside to increase viewpoint platform, total rotation 64 degree
20th Floor, maximum offset of floor plate, total rotation 40 degree.
11th Floor, offsetting floor plate inside, 22 degree rotation.
Base Floor plate, form evolved as combination of periferial farmlands into one.

FOOD COURT
2016 | Design Studio | Interior Design | NITH The project sets out to design interiors of a food court located in NITH campus. Approach is to create a physical barrier while connecting all together visually. Private space is created through vertical design elements which provide aesthetics as well as transition between spaces. Design elements and furniture is designed such to create a welcoming touch.
Food Court is divided into seperate parts to encourage gathering and students discussion spaces. Effort is made to encourage faculty and other college staff to a common eating joint. Inspiration for the design is surrounding landscape and huge pine trees, which covers the whole hill but still provide a visual connectivity and light penetration. Side sitting spaces are provided to get together to eat snacks or lunch, the sticky note panels encourages students and faculty to try new recipies and to suggest new one.

HYPERBOLIC PARABOLOID PAVILION
Summer 2015 | Abhyudya ISTE Event | NITH The project sets out to design a transitional public gathering space which attracts students from all departments towards Exibhition space. Execution includes use of locally available cheap materials and unskilled labour. The project consolidates the typical parabolic equation and stacks the pavaillion into diagonally combined units.
An exploration of the simplest Hyperbolic Paraboloidic ‘saddle’ form has lead to the development of a modular system that combines the principles of the (Hyperbolic Paraboloid) and elastic potential energy. A hyperbolic paraboloid is an infinite doubly ruled surface in three dimensions with hyperbolic and parabolic cross-sections. It can be parametrized using the following equations: Mathematical: z = x2 – y2 x=yz
Parametric:
x(u,v)=u y(u,v)=v
Hyperbolic Paraboloid
Construction Details
Mid Points cross me,bers of square forming central nodes
Initial Square edges and end points extend to cube corners
Length = n
New Length = n*2
Divide “b“ lines into equal segments
Join opposite segments with perpendicular straight members
Bamboo of ~10cm daimeter was used for execution of the pavallion, for internal members single unit was divided further,
Additional supports were added due to flexible behaviour of fresh bamboo sticks, supports helps to stablize whole pavilion.
Foundatation of structure involves installation of steel bars 5 cm daimeter in a square mesh to support bamboo sticks.
