leap SKYPORT FOR FLYING CARS Designed for LEAP Aeronautics, a tech start up that proposes a Futuristic transportation Hub for flying battery powered cabs that addresses to the prevailing Road traffic and pollution
Presented at Indian Tech Summit
Design Development
The Design categorizes the flow of The people , Luggages and the Aircraft in a smooth In and out flow that doesn’t overlap by a fanned out design and by assigning Function to various points in the design to ensure a smooth flow overall
At any given time the Inflow & Outflow of Passenger arrive at the central Core - Approach the Security check and clear to the luggage zone and board the Aircraft. A Similar journey for the return.
The Future of Transportation The Future is Here and Now. LEAP AERO is Aspires to change the Transporation sector by Introducing Battery operated Aircrafts as replacement to Public Urban transportation. It reduces the carbon footprint and makes Urban transportation easier.

zhà CODED SKIN WORKSHOP The Workshop by ZHA CODE Involves experimentation with Gyroid Form and thus producing different forms finding an interesting form that can be aesthetically used in using for a dress- architecture for the Human body using parametric designing. the workshop involved 3d printing and laser cutting fabrication method and was presented as ZHA CODE work in the MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2016 .
Presented in Milan Design-week 2016

auxshel “Deployable Reciprocal shells Through Auxetic behavior” Master Thesis A Research & Development Hypothesis
“Deployable Reciprocal shells through Auxetic behavior” is a hypothesis that discusses the possibility of fabricating Double Curved Shell Structures made with self supporting Reciprocal frames and are easy to deploy , and this is achieved by the specific behavioral study from Auxetic materials This can be a possible advancement in construction when compared to the current construction methods followed for constructing shell structures . With the latest and future advancement such as digital computation , via latest softwares and digital fabrication like 3d printing and laser cutting , the hypothesis can be made close to reality .
Offered Thesis Internship by ADIDAS

Reciprocal
Pros and Cons of the Current techniques
Deployable
+ The fabrication method involves Carefully selecting the forms breaking down into Parts that are unique in that double curves
+ Cant be reused into other forms – only predefined forms are possible + A prefabricated shape cannot be modified or not dynamic when it comes to structure
Auxetic Materials
+ Has to be CONSTRUCTED IN PHASE

skew METRO RETROFIT Redesign of Station Missouri @ Piazza Velasca , Milan Finding Inspiration from the History of the missori station , the geometries are inspired from the geology of broken rocks that are representative of the buried relics found from the missori area during the excavation of missori . this shows the historical importance of this station standing out from others
Presented in Venice Biennale 2016
Urban Tree Social Housing Complex @ Via Brunetti, Milan The Project involves the design of a township in Via Brunetti ,Milan. The challenge was to create a social housing complex that creates maximum socializing and trying to bring back the Greens inside the existing urban concrete jungle. The design creates a linage of buildings that create a first boundary of tall buildings ,Metamorphosing Urban areas, enclosing shorter buildings that metaphors as the Suburban areas. Bringing together the two types of lives that you can enjoy in a Urban nexus
Master Plan
The master plan was to create a central axis that connect through via the building tunnel in between. One side of the main axis is the urban character of the site with busy streets and dense buildings And on the other side-crossed over the building we have the suburban character with lesser house and more green
crown Technet redesign Redesign proposal to add two extra floor in the existing technet tower, Milan. The project has to increase the value of the building starting from the project appraisal analysis, until final detailed drawings and structural calculations. The form finding is done with computational design and algorithms as the external shell cover.

Walkie_Scorchie Facade Redesign @ London_UK
The Walkie talkie building in London has faced Extreme criticism for its consequences of its concave shape. though the braille sollei has been found for the solution it doesn’t allow optimum light increasing its energy usage. So we tried proposing a dynamic facade that optimally controls the wind flow and sun shine inside the building optimizing its energy consumption.

salma
Office building design Salma construction, a renowed builder in Chennai had a requirement for an outstanding eye-catchy unique building for its office space. The design motto was to show a unique advancement in the latest construction through the facade design and as a landmark design experiment for its future buildings. The concept started with intersecting forms of diagonal and horizontal lines and slowly progressed with development of the form through Digital computation via simulation until construction details and execution on fragment development .
CONSTRUCTED
Parametric Facade design: The Proposed pattern was Conceptualiosed and Fabricated with the help of Grasshopper and Rhino. The Final Facade was custom fabricated using Robotic Laser cutting of ALCO panels and customised joineries for facade . This Iconic facade was featured in blogs and magazine and appreciated in the community of parametric designers

Team CADIS has been affiliated with experimenting with VR AR meta-verse etc since. We were always curious to indulge tech with architecture be it usage of AI in software to automate our process to experiment with computational design. The tech is young and untested waters so we are extensively keen in indulging the best collaboration and adaptability to Architecture projects.

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
CHIEF MENTOR
DESIGN CRIT PANEL
@ MNM jain School of Architecture, Chennai,India
@ DQ LABS , BANGALORE
@ Multiple Universities
From AUGUST 2019 - Present
From December 2016 - Present
DQ labs is a Education platform for aspiring designers who are writing the entrances dor design and architecture. Enrolled as the Chief mentor in the organisation I mentor Students from time to time in checking their progress and guiding in the right direction.
Practicing Architects in India can enroll in panel as the Crits for Student’s Design Presentation. Enrolled since 2016 I ahve attended more than 10 crtical Crits ranging from 2nd year to Thesis Jury for the students . This Involvement has perpetually kept me in touch with Very innovative Design Ideas from fresh minds , which inturn has motivated me to explore and update myself on whats Hip and new in the field
For 10 months from Nov 2016 - Aug 2017 A short teaching experience as a part time assistant professor in MNM jain college, Chennai filled a year break from my Masters course. In additional to teaching History the Mentoring of Architectural Design studio for the bachelor’s students gave me a wide knowledge about design approach and ideas. The teaching career gave me a wider perspective and knowledge through sharing of knowledge from both Professors and students of the University.
My responsibility also Extends to formulating ghe QUESTION PAPER for the All India level ,Weekly mocktests across various subjects. This has kept me on foot to learn and know New stuffs every day
