AADITYA CHAUDHARY
Architecture defines existence of all mankind and to understand it means one has a greater purpose.
I find it ironic that one has a hard time defining what they feel while engaging with good architecture, which is actually so definitive in nature.
I like experimenting and exploring different possibilities
To me, the process is just, if not more important as the result.

MADAN LAL DHINGRA
STATE MEMORIAL

The plan showing a central piece in the shape of a masonry wall with bricks arranged in such a pattern that it produces the face of Madan Lal Dhingra.
The complex also houses a set of four gallows which are kept in complete dark from within. The only illumination inside are the last words of Madan Lal Dhingra before he was hanged till death.
“I believe that a nation held down by foreign bayonets is in a perpetual state of war. Since open battle is rendered impossible to a disarmed race, I attacked by surprise.”
This has been done to make the visitor essentially feel just a tiny bit of the actual situation faced by the young freedom fighter. The illuminated last words shine like a ray of hope from within a room flooded with darkness.

SANJEEVNI HOSPITAL
AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE
Site Location : Amritsar, Punjab, India
Building Type :Healthcare
Aim : To design a healing space with a humanitarian touch and challenge the boundaries of commercializing healthcare sector.
Project Timeline : Semester 5
Highlights : The design approach is in contrast with the standardized hospitals being constructed. It challenges the orthodox while bearing sensitivity to the needs of a typical user.

MUNICIPAL GOODWILL SCHOOL
Site Location : Ludhiana, Punjab, India
Building Type : Municipal School
Aim : To provide a basic climate responsive design which caters to the need of students from backward sections of the society and give them a space to learn and grow.
Project Timeline : Semester 3
LEFT : Plans showing a central courtyard formation to achieve desired airflow/ventilation and natural illumination in the form of sunlight. The simplicity of this design is aimed at familiarizing the economically backward primary user group with the space.
In other words - The space must not feel alien to the user.
ABOVE : The concept development process involving a brainstorming session wherein various options of suitable building forms were explored to achieve an organic and natural geometric structure, suitable for the site climatic conditions.

OFFICE CONCEPT FOR YELOCORP.PVT
An office design concept for Yelocorp.pvt which happens to be an IT Solutions startup based out of New Delhi, India. It is a modernist approach with simple geometric forms being knit together forming an L shaped mass. The design incorporates the company’s vision of clean, and efficient working order.
ABOVE:
A brick jali wall inspired the design typology of Laurie Baker. The project was carried out during third semester as a voluntary jali design. The wall is constructed entirely with erasers which were carefully selected to replicate the dimensions of an actual brick. This jali consists of essentially two types of brick arrangements. These run alternate and divide the wall in three portions. The top and bottom portions are ventilation oriented whereas the middle section oriented at 45 degrees is supposed to filter sunlight when required.

STRUCTURAL MODEL MAKING COMPETITION
The project was undertaken as a result of a Competition held at The Department Of Architecture, Guru Nanak Dev University.
A 2V Geodesic Dome was constructed with a total base span of 13 feet using curtain rods and bolts.
The team can be seen working towards assembling the curtain rods in a fan like manner to achieve the desired geometric form.

THE GALLERY
The photographs were captured during my stay at the Karu valley located right in the middle of a funnel connecting the “Upshi” Village to the main town of Leh in North India alongside the Chang-La mountain pass.
Contrary to popular interests, I decided to visit the range during winters wherein temperatures drop down to -28 degrees C easily. The winter is bone chilling however provides an entirely different perspective on the architecture which is closely related to the social life and activities of local population.

An example of Indian rock-cut architecture dating from the late 7th century, of the Pallava dynasty, This is a cave temple located in Mamallapuram, South India. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1984.
This Cave Temple has many interesting architectural features of which three exquisitely carved reliefs on the cave walls of three sanctums are prominent.
AMARNATH TEMPLE CAVE (RIGHT)
Amarnath Temple is a Hindu shrine located in Jammu and Kashmir, India. The cave is situated at an altitude of 3,888 m (12,756 ft),[1] about 141 km (88 mi) from Srinagar. The cave, is surrounded by glaciers, snowy mountains and is covered with snow most of the year. It forms for a very challenging yet satisfying trek which tests your willpower to the absolute limit. With a pony crossing you every 2 seconds, it takes something strong to just keep on walking. It is a humbling experience which bring you closer to the nature and its marvels.
