PRISONERS OF CHOICE Annual NASA design Trophy 2016 NATIONAL WINNER
The ‘roundabouts’ transformed into the vertical shoots connecting the space stations, and that the ‘grid’ shall become endless? ‘Layer by layer’ we developed the city, ‘stacking’ functions on top of one another, like Tetris blocks. However, the base layer of Chandigarh couldn’t survive any further, hence, preserved. Similarly, any future layer wouldn’t be rendered obsolete but ‘preserved’. Residents constantly striving to surpass the threshold to UTOPIA. While the world waits for the miracle, I am too inspired to be patient and hence, I project my thoughts to embrace what the city might seem in UTOPIA.

An ‘endless grid’ nurtures all components. A flawless ecosystem of unified realms, any realm which could contribute to man. A city where politics, economy, religion, even first world problems wouldn’t hinder human comfort. Every emotion, activity and experience whether known or unknown to the living, carefully woven into the system of the city. Technology would aid humans to transgress the limits of nature. Here, only essentials prevail and celebrated, rest simply remembered through conservation. Layer by layer, function by function, space by space and realm by realm this city shall radically grow. Reason and Freedom being the only ideals, this utopia shall prevail.
demiurge overpowering residents For UTOPIA was no more a blessing, no more the redemption for all. DYSTOPIA prevailed with open arms.
“If there is no idea in the drawing, there is no idea in the constructed project. That's the expression of the idea. Architects make drawings that other people build. I make the drawings. If someone wants to build from those, that's up to them. I feel I'm making architecture. I believe the building comes into being as soon as it's drawn.” - Lebbeus woods
Dystopia
The worst form of a dystopia is the utmost Utopia I can’t cheat. I can’t lie. I can’t think. I can’t cry. I was a man. I am a slave. Welcome to UTOPIA(dystopia).
I breathe into my existence with a promise to serve mankind.... to keep him in my cradle sterile from emotions... and to punish those who wish to conquer... for man is too puny to walk alone....
The whole project potrays the endless cycle of Utopia-Dystopia through the medium of Paper Space and Paper Architecture. It shows how Utopia leads to Dystopia and vice versa.
UTOPIA allures with a buffet of free choices….. it is not what it commemorates but what it exploits to seduce mankind. While phenomenology blinds man to think pragmatically, sensuality has been known to choreograph the mind to embrace what in reality is ostensible. PRISONERS OF CHOICE… .

SECTOR 13 Pavilion Proposal for the Chandigarh stand at the India International Trade Fair 2016, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi theme : digital india RUNNER UP
The theme of the pavilion was representation of Chandigarh and its digital realm. Fibonacci series in a 3D grid occupied the users with the aid of exhibition panels. A cut out in the shape of the open hand, characterized the main entrance to the pavilion with secondary entrances ensuring free circulation. The ideologies of the master architect have been incorporated through colours and seating.

The digital realm, just like its intangible presence in the lifestyle of the residents, was concealed in a pavilion within the pavilion called SECTOR 13.
Hidden behind the facades representing that of the High Court building was a dark room with furniture designed by Le Corbusier, suspended from the ceiling and a hologram visual displayed on a pedestal in the centre of this mini pavilion. The city, divided into sectors, doesn’t have any sector numbered 13, though a close study of sector patterns unveils that the sum of opposite sector numbers, always turns out to be a multiple of 13. 8+18 = 26 for example. The intangible nature of sector 13 has been used to depict that of the digital realm.

MARGIN GSEN Trophy, National Association of Students of Architecture JUROR’S CHOICE AWARD
center for youth
Margin is a newspaper on social issues and architecture. It deals with the stereotypes prevalent in the society. Conversations curated to tell a story about the role of architecture in today’s world. We make them available for you to do with as you please: to think on, to talk about, to design with. Feel free to take them and run, mis-read and butcher. After all, they are only ideas. It becomes a holistic forum for discussion of current issues through the medium of paper architecture. The first issue focuses on gender sensitivity and the urban poor. It tries to camouflage architecture with these discussions which were originally triggered by posters. The idea was to engage the youth, rather the YOUTHFUL in healthy interactions, not necessarily verbal but essentially in the parallel projection of thoughts. The very fact a paper can provoke a thought, to breaking free of the threshold of rigid mindsets, makes it a democratic medium to instigate a dialogue amongst the crowd. Newspaper, acting as a centre for youthful.
thoughts
Revised edition of such publications is an interesting example of how paper is both SAME BUT DIFFERENT, CONTEXTUAL yet TRANSFORMING simultaneously.

A House Without Function The aim was to revert the normal sequence of the design process. Architectural choices defined a project based on pure spatial qualities rather than economic or programmatic organisation. Participants were requested to design a house. A house suitable for human scale. A primary space that is conceived through intimate, personal and critical vision of architecture. The key questions were “Is it then possible to imagine architecture without site and program? If so how can they complement initial spatial qualities?�
Architecture is the art of effective place making, putting together absolute zilch, to form a compelling whole, without any bars of set perceptions. A house is a mere enclosure, but emanates silhouettes of warmth and aureole of security; a space acquainted to by the user on her own terms. The design proposes an unpretentious yet a complex sphere, surrounded by a roll cage in the form of a geodesic dome. The only contact between the two is through ball bearings strategically placed along the vertices of the mesh. The cage outside is free to tread anywhere, yet keeps the sphere inside stable, making the amalgamation dynamic and steady. The design is mobile and adaptive to any site, being guided by an index dictated by its users and not a set scheme, underlining that architecture can indeed be made possible without a definite site and programme.
