I am fascinated by the power of architecture, to express, to provide, to build. I like to have a user-centric approach towards my designs. I am eager to acquire new skills and knowledge during the course of this internship.
This portfolio is a compilation of my works and the skills I attained in architecture school.

1. ARTIST’S BUNGALOW, BANGALORE & COMMUNITY LIBRARY, PUNE
Community library | Semester - 4 | Area - 150sq.m.
The basic objective of a community library is to provide information to the general public to satisfy their information and recreational needs. A municipal authority has invited architects to design a community library, which will welcome people and a not-so-formal tone.
Artist’s bungalow | Semester - 3 | Area - 470sq.m.
An artist desires a dwelling which will be simple and functional but still makes a ‘Design statement’. To design an abode for an artist is always a challenge of exploring different ways of artistic impressions which will house his/her activities, comfort levels etched with the warmth & aesthetics.
LEGEND
Swivel mechanism to open and close the library ensures safety after hours and also created an open library.
2. SCHOOL OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE, PUNE
Semester - 5 | Area - 6450sq.m.
An Art and Architecture institute should be designed in such a way that will help the students to provoke their creativity, perception, sensitivity to ecology, qualities of light, etc. The site is undulated terrain with slope towards the access road. The promoters of the project desire that no tree shall be cut or transplanted.

Interactive spaces like The Katta, tie the project together
Voids in elevation also act as interactive spaces as well as break the weight of the building
The voids act as interactive spaces within individual buildings

6. EXPERIENCES
SACRED SPACE by Archdais (2020)
The physical requirements were to design a Place of Faith, as a sanctuary for the secular world, a space that is Sacrosanct. Through our design we symbolize faith in the form of hope, love and care, humanity and knowledge.
HUDCO Trophy by NASA (2022)
We aimed at integrating vernacular designs with sustainable climate combating design solutions proposing affordable living units that combat threats posed by geo-climatic zones at the same time preserving the identity of the local culture.
GSEN Trophy by NASA (2021)
The brief asked us to conceive and generate innovative ideas of productive public realm centred around the themes of improved agricultural productivity, enhancement of biodiversity, and ecologically sensitive urban designs in the grain of the city. We proposed a series of inserts in the core of the city that would engage the public in the complete cycle of a harvest through productive landscapes and give back to the community.
ANDC by NASA (2021) - Bus Terminus
The brief asked us to redesign a basic space such as a bus terminus which has huge implications in scenarios such as the Covid-19 situation. Unlike the previous bus stand, our design that has a user friendly open and safe atmosphere, liberates the people from fear and isolation. We are breaking the barrier of normal bus stand by introduction of public library, digital workshop and using scrap buses as shops which inturn lifts economy at small level at our site in Nandura.
ANDC by NASA (2022) - Construction Workers’ Housing
Through this exercise, we take into our hands, the righteous rage, the daily maltreatment these workers face, and create a space for them which promises what any abode should; a sense of security. We aim to provide, not just a four walled structure, but also, a place these workers can call their home. The brief asked us to study and document an existing site and provide a manual booklet that would guide the labourers to (re)assemble the house unit, quickly and efficiently.
MUD HOUSE CONSTRUCTION WITH URVEE PUBLIC TRUST
Me along with my colleagues, in June 2021, volunteered to help in the construction of a mudhouse for the caretakers of a farmhouse at NDA Road, Pune owned by Mrs. Arti Kirloskar. This project was taken up by Ar. Amruta Naidu and Mr. Prasad Thete of the Urvee Public Trust and was guided by Ar. Satyendra Bhagat. The technique adopted was wattle and cob. We tied paddy straw treated with lime and then coated in clay to the bamboo framework. This act as the reinforcement for the mud layer coming over it and reduced the total amount of soil required. After drying up the ties look like ‘Bombil’ fish kept for drying, hence it was termed as the bombil technique. Cob balls were put over the reinforcements to create a 9inch thick wall. It developed cracks after drying which were filled periodically and then a lime plaster was applied to give a finish. The windows and doors were made by the students at Hunnarshala Foundation.
RESORT SITE MODEL FOR HUES ARCHITECTS
Me and my colleagues worked with Hues Architects, Pune to make a site model for their ongoing resort project at Bhor in August, 2022. We used corrugated sheets as the suitable material for the contours and oasis blocks and pins to show the vegetation. The contours were cut in ring sections instead of the conventional method of cutting in slabs. This method resulted in saving more than 70% of the material. The void was filled with paper balls and studs as support.
DEPLOYABLE STRUCTURES WORKSHOP AT NASA
This workshop that was conducted at the Zonal NASA Convention of Zone-3 in September, 2019. We created smaller deployable structures in groups to understand the working of the systems after which we created a deployable dome structure. It could be folded down to as small as an umbrealla rack and open up to a diameter of 3 meters. The members were made of pvc and the joints were blocks of laser cut mdf.
BAMCRETE FUNICULAR SHELL STRUCTURE WORKSHOP
The workshop was conducted by Ar. Vaibhavi Agrawal and Ar. Shital Chaudhari and their team from Ray Studio in January, 2023. We started explorations on scale models using thin sections of bamboo. Then each initial task of construction was divided in teams - Excavation, Marking, Framing, Joining. Then we tied every joint and jute bags coated with concrete over the structure with wire ties. Later gaps were individually filled with concrete. Curing was done for a week after the construction. The pavillion is built in the campus of MMCOA, Pune.
MASTERCLASS AND TRIBUTE TO AR. B.V. DOSHI
This workshop was conducted by Ar. Rahul Kadam and his team from NGK Studio in memory of Ar. B.V. Doshi in February, 2023. Students were divided into groups and each group studied an assigned project of Ar. B.V. Doshi and prepared an alalysis considering the design philosophy advocated by him through sketches, diagrams and notes which were later shared among everyone through a presentation. The projects studied were Aranya, Institute of Indology, Sangath and ATMA House.
MODEL MAKING
Strive to find the order in chaos.
