‘Reverie Art Museum’
TECTONIC OPERATIONS VII
(Guided by: Ar Smit Vyas)
STUDIO- 5 I MONSOON 2022
The studio explored ways through which outdated buildings can become sites for creative thinking about construction processes. New programmatic parts were added to buildings of an old precinct, necessitating actions of repair, replacement or introduction of alternative parts in them. By way of this, new formal, structural & material conditions were tested against the existing ones in an attempt to find a wholesome architectural expression.
The Reverie Art Museum is experienced as a journey wrapped around a solid core and enclosed by orthogonal partition walls, creating a non disruptive and meditative space. The plan of the xhibition is born out of the plan of the existing building. However, it opposes its language by eliminating all the existing partition walls and slab and creates a canopy in the center that shelters the entire space. The central walls are made out of RCC which emerge from the ground, ascend and eventually grow into the roof of the space.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Exploring Concept and Form of the Exhibition
Exploring Spatial Relationship With the Existing Block
Exploring Roof and Articulation of the Central Courtyard
Exploring Structure of the Final Form
SITE AND PROGRAM
The campus of L.D. Guest Houses consists of three buildings all of which have been recently renovated. The intention of the studio was to transform the old complex with new design interventions and convert it into a performance arts centre.

MASTERS’ STROKES
MATTERS OF ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE (ONGOING)
(Guided by: Ar Sachin Soni)
STUDIO- 6 I SPRING 2023
This studio explores works of selected architects and tries to decipher their unique architectural vocabulary and grammar that each of them have developed. I learned to derive distinct attitudes of Rudolf Olgiati towards various aspects of architecture through analysis of his work. These attitudes are verified intermediately through small design problems and later tested and modified when employed to design a project in a completely different context.
The ongoing project is a that of a visitor’s center in Chittorgarh.
TRAVELLING CUBE
300MM X 300MM X 300MM
The cube is an installation highlighting Rudolf Ogliati’s key attitudes towards mass, surface, space and light. The entire cube is a massy chunk from where openings are carved out in a way that they reveal key views of the interior. The openings are irregular in size and position and are present on almost all the faces. This adds to the plastic effect of the installation and allows the viewer to go around the installation and experience it. The openings are funnel shaped, adding volume to the surface and the entire interior surfaces are painted white, just like he does. Light enters from the punctures and lights up the room in various ways.
INTERIOR VIEWS
The maze is a game highlighting Rudolf Olgiati’s key attitudes towards datum, order and geometry. The outer walls are the aggregators which hold the game inside. The form of the outer walls is derived considering the positions from where the user will hold the game. Here topography, the outside environment acts as the datum and regulates the turning or walls in plan. The corridors and pivoting staircase are the path from where the ball will go. Here, the staircase acts as the datum around which the entire game revolves.

‘Sarai’
SPAN AND SPACE EXPLORING TECTONICS IN ARCHITECTURE
(Guided by: Prof. VR Shah, Ar Mangesh Belsare) STUDIO- 4 I SPRING 2022
The studio explores design and detail meaningful forms using fundamentals of structural actions and material properties along with construction technology which is essential as a part of design process. It focuses on achieving the expressive qualities through construction and manoeuvring of forces in structure such that entity created cannot be defined only by structure and construction.
The proposed project is of a Sarai where day travelers, craftsmen, students etc can stay and rest inside the visitor’s center. The entire form is made out of brick and all the walls and vaults are under pure compression. The structure explores the expressive qualities of brick and various forms possible in this material.

TIMELESS AND EXPERIENTIALLY ENGAGING ARCHITECTURE
(Guided by: Ar Yatin Pandya)
STUDIO- 3 I MONSOON 2021
This studio focused on this most fundamental phenomenon of space conception and space perception. It endeavored to understand fundamentals of space design as well as explored role of space making elements such as floor, column, wall, door, window, stair, ceiling etc. Through this studio, the impact of basic design decisions of siting and location, form and massing, movement and organizational structure, choice of elements, material and technique of construction, finishes and entablature were understood
The project aims to reminisce Razia Sultan who battled with the world to become the first female ruler of India. It attempts to provide an insight of the position of women in the sultanate era. The memorial is divided into two phases, one where Razia faced custom, political and gender opposition and the other where she lays a new land for the people. With the use of walls, vegetation, water and material, the project aims to spatially engage recreate these two phases of Razia’s life.
