The earliest memories I have start with the humble lego block. A gift on my second birthday, they were so inseparable from me that while my peers were more interested in playing with the latest remote control car, I used to imagine any type of miniature built space that I could conjure up with my tiny hands. Built forms and volumes since my very childhood days have always made me exclaim ‘Now that is what I call wonderful AHHRCHITECTURE’
So here I am 2 decades later writing this bio as an appendage to my portfolio to showcase the work I have put in over the last 5 years.

Typology Study
In labs where the mind’s work takes flight Collaboration, shines through very bright Bathed and basking in sunlight’s gleam Adaptable various needs like in a dream Inspiring creation, each space a delight
In the steel-making lore, details scrutinize
From coking to steel, magic potions arise
Formulas brewed for the market’s delight
Space programs shaped as it might
In this metal alchemy, innovation flies
On a city’s blue-green belt unfolds a feat, Near the steel plant this research retreat Above the tree line it effortlessely hovers, A research hub, steel formulas it uncovers, Thirty metres floating above a visual treat!
The three squares interlock as they rotate
Tapered edges and morphed floor plates
Form voxelated for minmal solar radiation
The final form the most stable position
Genetic algorithms inform the final state
Gen 10

In the sky, three floors for work and play, Floating above the research ideas sway. Bathed in sunlight the views unparalleled, Research sails unhindered unbridled, Grounded auditorium, pilot facilities stay
In the air, a steel structure suspend, Cables strong, a structure to commend. Composite pylon of concrete and steel, Friction dampers to break the wind’s feel, Rolled steel sections joined end to end
Context
On a brownfield, a vision took flight, Airstrip rethought to restore forest’s might An array of modules, rapidly it did rise, A decadal structure with permanent guise, Forest whispered,”Thank you” each night
On a WW-2 airstrip, silent and calm, A serviced site waiting in sight to cheer. A surface open to expressions so grand, Strong enough for our buildings to stand, Swift deployment to the forest’s cheer
Lotus leaves, the modules they inspire, A stable strucuture that Romans admire. Beams and columns come together unite, Easy to replicate in directions left or right, The flexible plans, host a creative empire!
Made of recycled steel the pads stand Slabs of slag and spoil concrete, grand. Unitized into portion for an easier trip, The pads are bolted and fixed in a zip, Undone in a jiff after ten years as planned
On an old airstrip, the centre takes flight, A decade of existence, the forest delight. Facilities increase scaling up with grace, The design is a cradle to cradle embrace, End of life, reborn to nature’s delight!

In the twilight, our seniors shine bright
In their wisdom, our dreams take on flight For together with little care, they thrive Architecture supports for it revives In the golden years, joy takes its height
On a hillside so green and prime
From the bustle of Pune, lost in time
Site surrounded by natural views
By the wayside lush forests, and hues
By a reservoir vast and sublime
SITE
PLANNING
Contours of the site, a studied dance Built forms placed, as if by nature’s chance
A stream retained, a bio-swale’s tale Harmony embraced, in nature’s regale
01 03 02 04
From the natural realm, flowy curves From the mudras a concept serves These hand postures in yoga’s grace In each mudra a meaning in place In abstract forms, meaning serves
Fluid forms from the hillside emerge An architectural dance, an artistic surge Mudras in allusion, a poetic trance Materials natural, in nature’s convergence In this design, harmony takes the verge
Along the contours, buildings so grand Views for all, a sweeping demand Draining freely as the water flows in glee Cut and fill, minimized site work spree In harmony, on nature’s stage they stand

A camera lens captures structures in light, Architectural beauty behold the sight. A composition of angles and frames align, The eyes of the viewer unfolds the design, Capturing architecture taking flight.
Digital pixels and colors, on a quest, Graphic design, in all forms at its best. Shapes, images, masks and fonts align, The balance, creativity need to be fine, Capturing visually ideas to be expressed.
