Program | A 10x10 sq. ft Information Kiosk with seating space for 2 users
Information Kiosks are used in different settings, particularly in those, where there is a requirement for direct contact. Moreover, it makes information as easily accessible as possible for the public, which in turn will help them to make an informed decision.
Therefore, for a cultural event ( Arts and crafts Mela ), that took place in Dwarka, was in a need of an Information Kiosk to guide the people about the events and to help them gather information about the same.
As a conceptual idea, Rubik’s Cube was used because of its multi-colored edges and the cube was further remoulded into a desired shape to design the Kiosk. It is a simple brick structure with multi-colored wooden laminate finish.

A creative arts institution flourishes through inspiration from one another. The idea is to create spaces that force interaction between the students, in turn allowing them to learn from each other. Therefore, spaces that display the works of the students on a public front are being created in the form of the art gallery.
The project is designed with the notion of Public - defined as positive, multi functional spaces between buildings. The area program has been divided into 2 blocks, art gallery + reception and Centre for performing Arts. The Gallery block was designed keeping in mind to maximize the wall space and still introducing natural light, which was done by means of Solid walls and skylights.
The Centre of Performing Arts was designed to have a curve plan to provide a feeling of enclosure. Furthermore, as it is aligned with north direction, most of the classrooms get diffused sunlight or direct light from the east sun.
The introduction of a centre with white cement facade will help the institute to turn into a landmark which was one of the requirements in the brief.

1. The site is located in Dwarka, Delhi, India and is surrounded by residential apartments. It has a great connectivity by the means of Metro Rail and Sub arterial roads. The area program demands for 3 blocks i.e., Art Gallery and Admin, Performing Arts centre and Guest block.
2. The Blocks are further bifurcated to meet the required area program. Both, the art gallery and the Centre for Performing Arts (CPA) share a common Cafeteria, which in turns combines the two blocks. The CPA is aligned in the north direction providing diffused light in the classrooms. The Art gallery has been aligned in the South direction with solid walls to provide more wall area for gallery and less heat gain.
3. Ground floor of both the blocks open towards the central space. An Interactive space with wooden furniture has been provided for the art gallery block which can be used as a congregation space for art shows. Similarly, an Open Air Theatre has been designed in front CPA block which can be used by the students and additionally can be used to host events.
4. The upper block of the Art gallery has been illuminated by skylights at regular intervals. The first floor of the art gallery also consists of a large auditorium space. Moreover, the blocks are well interconnected by pathways accompanied by lush of greenery and local vegetation.

Today the world and our country India in particular is passing though a critical phase. There is a lot of strife and conflict. A large number of these conflicts are arising out of religious intolerance. People have divided themselves according to their religious beliefs.
Therefore, there is a definite need for a place where people of all faiths can congregate together in an atmosphere of peace and harmony where the emphasis is on spirituality and divinity and not on mundane religious practices.
The design of this meditation centre, a temple for peace and harmony is an attempt to fulfil that purpose. The concept of Terrarium as a built form is in a direct relation with this purpose. In a way, how terrarium combines different type of plants in an enclosed space, the mediation hall is envisioned to serve the same purpose and provide with a serene mind for people to unite them. Moreover, the landscaping is inspired by the planning of Palmanova Town and the proposed vegetation consists mainly of native species, preferably from local seedlings or region.
Similarly, other components of the complex are designed to follow a simple geometry and column grid facade cladded with pioneer bricks to provide an earthy feeling to the complex.

1. All the components have been placed randomly on the site keeping in mind the volume of each component. Meditation Hall, being the main element which has to occupy around 1500 people is given the majority of the built up space.
3. Rest of the blocks have been further developed by subtracting a few parts from the block, creating a central space and entrances to the following building components. Interpretation Hall, Food Court, Library, and Museum were envisioned with similar brick grid facades.
2. A central axis has been taken on which the Meditation Hall is placed in the north direction on a raised platform of 3 metres to provide it with importance in the complex. Also, under the raised platform all the services for the Hall has been provided.
4. Vehicular access and Parking has been proposed to the opposite end of the Hall. Multiple pedestrian entries have also been planned for making the site more accessible from the adjacent roads. Also, the landscaping of the meditation hall platform is inspired by Palmanova Town

The aim is to design an office complex to cater to the growing demand for Finance and IT industry. The objective of the project is to design an office complex which is based on the Live-Work-Play concept.
Indore Fintech City is an attempt towards making a functional and environment friendly office complex. To maximize the functionality, different types of cores were studied and peripheral core was chosen as the best solution. Moreover, it also helped in increasing the floor plate area.
The orientation of the proposed design is strongly influenced by the gain of natural sunlight and the direction of the prevailing winds - by aiming to create shelter and use them in its own natural ventilation system. This is the key in order to create the best conditions to work. Additionally, thick cantilevered overhangs with metal louvers are proposed to shade the glazed facades to avoid over heating. The recessed floors act as a buffer for the facade and as a break out space for its users.

5. Finally, the variation in the heights have been provided to create an interesting impact to the complex. The built mass has also been provided with metal louvers and recessed floors to make green terraces and breakout spaces for its users.
4. The Shape of the blocks have been changed according to the sun and wind direction. To lighten up the massing of the whole site, area has been subtracted from the blocks according to the area program.
3. The spine and its arms divide the site into three parts. Central part of each block has been taken out to make the interactive space, plazas. As the massing of the site was quite tight, so the blocks have been further divided to make the circulation easier.
2. As the length of the site dictated over its breadth, therefore, it has been designed to follow the street culture. One major spine along the length was taken which branches into two arms along its breadth.
1. The site is located in Madhya Pradesh, India and is almost rectangle in shape, having an area of 10.9 hectares. The wind direction of the site is from West to East with hot climate. Therefore, the blocks were aligned in North-South Orientation.

New buildings for historical educational campuses should become a bridge to the past, but more importantly a springboard to the future. How we define the bridge to the past can vary greatly from architect to architect; it may rely on referencing form, or materiality or for that matter a plan of the older buildings, or increasingly, more commonly stand as a complete counter to all aspects of the historic. These are individual positions that an architect takes when considering a design in such

The Objectives of the Design were focused on:
Fluid and Obstructed: The project concept is to have a continuous fluid space that is interrupted by volumes. It also aims to provide the user a more integrated experience that leads to diverse interactions, and promote individual as well as dynamic experiences. The intervention in the landscape promotes relation to the programme to further create pauses in the movement as well as occupy exterior spaces as extended classrooms.
Modularity: Create enhanced experiences for the spectators/performers. Could the Spaces be altered/ expanded or contracted/ even dismantled with minimum effort to allow interchangeable and dynamic spatial mood for the various performing spaces.
Aesthetic Symbiosis: Through localization and use of traditional materials as well as blending the volumes with the existing school blocks around.
Free Program: The design expresses a sense of flexibility which breaks the rigidity of using some built spaces in only one way.
