VEDIKA KHERIA ARCHITECTURE | GRAPHIC DESIGN | ART
As a fifth-year Architecture student at Balwant Sheth School of Architecture, my academic journey has been complemented by a profound passion for art and art history. Additionally, my expanding interest in film and literature serves to enhance my overall worldview and interdisciplinary perspective. This portfolio consists of selected works from 20192024, which are a product of layered experiments of the hand and mind.

Mentor . Dr. Kaiwan Mehta Topic . Museum of the 21st Century
Museum Semester 9 In Progress... . . . 2023
Year 5 6 BSSA | 2024
What does a Museum of the 21st Century look like? Museums to me are spaces for storing history, art, learning and provide spaces to instigate conversation and generate innovative ideas. With the coming of the digital age, we are seeing a change in human interactions in public space. This significantly affects the way buildings in that public space function and cater to the social and cultural needs of its citizens. Technology must revitalize spaces, not replace them. With change and progress in the digital realm, one must also look at the change that needs to arise in the physical realm. What a museum of the future must provide such that it becomes a bridge between the physical and virtual worlds, is what this thesis explores. It also aims to explore the physical nature of museums in terms of monumentality, questioning the kind of architecture that would make the museum more relevant to the man-on-the-street.

Urban Housing
The studio intended to address the Contextual Architecture of Housing within the diverse urban dynamics of Bora Bazar district in South Bombay. It aimed to imagine softer bylaws of Amalgamation, Redevelopment and Reconstruction that contribute to the city making process by understanding the role of policies in actualising these buildings. It further aspired to imagine housing as an ecosystem that accommodates the scales of the Doorstep, the Neighborhood and the City. The process to delve deep into the site started off with multiple sketching exercises and interviews of the residents of the districts, understanding their current living conditions, followed by an extensive study and analysis of the bylaws. The final project consisted of reconstructing 6 buildings; which were based on their relation with the road: onesided, two-sided, three-sided and corner plots; testing strategies to provide the best possible light, ventilation and comfort.

The studio was aimed at designing an educational institute at Mumbai University, Kalina Campus. The approach for this design followed the idea of humannature relationships and how learning can become an indoor-outdoor experience by breaking away from the idea of the traditional four-walled classroom. A solidvoid study at site led to understandings of how studentfaculty movement and interaction along the trees and foliage causes activation of spaces, which further gave instances on how the building structure can be carved out to create ambiguous experiences. The programs involved more co-working and studio based rooms, with open-to-sky study spaces overlooking a central courtyard. Due to the arches carved out of the building, a sense of transparency runs across the space where one can visually interact with peers and nature, allowing a breathable and playful learning environment.

This studio began with an Architecture + X exploration, wherein the ‘X’ was a market chosen by the students individually. Given that this studio occurred during the pandemic, it gave me an exciting opportunity to explore my hometown and look at the old city markets of Jaipur through a new lens. The folded geometry of the final project (a cultural centre) arose as a result of mapping human movement across the arcades of the colorful Kishanpole Market where every item spills onto the corridors and streets, engaging the customers constantly. The obstructions of the spill overs create interesting movement patterns which were reflected in the building as it replicates the market corridor with activity pockets on both sides.

Advanced Basic Design
Using Arduino and Coding, a set of instructions were input in prototype models to generate drawings based on sound frequencies. The machine created allowed one to use any drawing tool such as a pen, pencil, paint brush, etc. to move as per the machine’s code and create abstract drawings that were representations of the data one would input. The machine was kept in a room full of students and anytime it picked up a certain defined frequency range it would start drawing on paper. The sound frequency decided the linear speed of the movement as well as the rotation angle of the drawing tool. The result was a collection of abstract drawings, which were representations of what a classroom sounds like on paper.

The paradox of contemporary art lies in the misconception of “Art Forward” as linear progression, valuing novelty over substance. Art evolves, not necessarily progressing, influenced by diverse factors. Crisis moments, like the pandemic, trigger artistic explosions and user interaction with the same. The way one consumes rapid information and multiple forms of art through a screen has enforced a new belief system. One is visually served with multiple experiences in a single space and is made to perceive the idea of the outside is in negative light and the inside is promoted. This has then lead to the act of dead scrolling and being immersed into the trap of visuals and media; which can over a time detach you from your physical environment and become overwhelming. This installation aims to replicate the overwhelming nature of such a consumption pattern.
