ALL ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm a fourth year student of architecture, keen on exploring different phases of architecture and some will come out well and some may not, But the thing is i never failed to attempt.

OBJECTIVE I look for an opportunity to learn, travel and experience as a next step towards architecture. Looking forward to work in a team and environment that is challenging, innovative and motivate towards acheiving a new possibilities.

INTERESTS
INTO THE WILD 24 HOURS TIME PROBELM TYPOLOGY : JUNGLE RESORT SITE LOCATION : MUDUMALAI SITE AREA : 4 ACRES
CONCEPT & IDEA SKETCHES Concept & Definition : The word INTO THE WILD itself expresses it's going to have an movemental dispersion and making visitors letting them travel along with the contour site . Here, i don't want to go for cut and fill method which i have done earlier, instead of it i thought to go with treehouselike structure in contour.

The main task in designing these types of jungle resort is to explore in the contour areas as well a longterm sustainable material usage in terms of its site context. So,I thought to go with the wooden materials for the cottage units.
MATERIALS AND DETAILS So,i have pre planned about few materials and structure usage with due respect to site's context and it was also easier in a way to finish it on time.
These long steel structures were high heavy loaded supporting steel structures supports the wooden house. The reason for having that much heavy loaded structure is to avoid any colateral damages by elephants in that area.
Though, the site was in contour and partly located in the area of dense forests where elephants will pass by in a seasonal times. i could not seperate give seprate pool for each units instead of it , i have came up with infinty pool in the top floor of the main building, where we can able to get super cool views of the forest. Couples/friends and family people were main target users and they will be complete privacy to each cottage rooms.

KINETIC RESIDENCE SITE LOCATION : MUMBAI TYPOLOGY : RESIDENCE(FUTURISTIC) SITE AREA : 1200 SQ.FT
CONCEPT SKETCHES idea is to make use of one single space to multiuse spaces by using kinetic systems.
Kinetic systems were installed and used in buildings worldwide for various other reasons. The type of mechanism used here is sliding wall mechanism . An movable railing wire was used for this technique.
MATERIAL AND DETAILS
Two types of construction method occurs, reinforced and prefabricated whereas static areas were RCC and dynamic moving space is prefabricated. an controllable lock was fixed at the edge of the moving mechanical system thus it helps to stop/ lift the moving structure.

Total area of first floor before railing used: 64 sq.m Total area of first floor after railing used : 74 sq.m Area achieved in common : 10 sq.m
Though, the idea was futuristic it can be well suitable for our local environment like mumbai, kolkata,etc. And this idea was the soaring of seeds for my thesis project years later.There the concept of minimsing the foot areas and maximising utilities is a key part of the project.

PROBLEM More unusable spaces
Due to lack of planning inside and oustide of the station most of the usable spaces were remained as illegal parking.

INTERN WORKS In my first few days, i have worked in the working drawing and details of the toilet and kitchen and after few days, they were asked me to design a architecture block for saveetha university in guidance with one senior architect.
