UNIVERSITY WORK
A Centre for Learn, Build and Perform, Rome (M.Arch)
This project aims to explore the activities which take place in the public squares across Trastevere, Rome, with the help of social media. The project aims to transform the area into a permanent space for artists and musicians to perform, learn and develop their skills. The site chosen for the project is the old industrial site which is in the Ostiense district along the Tiber River. The Gasometer has been tasked for several consecutive years with reigniting Roman summer nights with parties, concerts, exhibitions, and evenings steeped in Italian aperitif culture. The project is named after the temporary festival “Videocitta” which means “video City”

CULTURAL PROJECT
Firodiya Center of Inspiration, India- Featured in Archdaily
The challenge was to create an administrative office space & informative gallery for visitors, shielded visually and acoustically from the industrial environment. The form is evolved with existing kitchenette, geodesic dome which was built 15 years before. The new components act as amorphous interlinked units, on the basis of pragmatic needs and environmental aspects of the site by providing shield from heat and glare externally.

COMPETITION PROJECT
Seychelles Tourism Academy, Ahtime Architects
The aim was to enhance the existing natural legacy, harmonising the existing linearity of the building with more modern simple and minimalist elements. The hotel proposal follows the precedent of using concrete, metal and wood, making ample use of glass surfaces and windows to provide spectacular views of Montagne Palmist , la Misere and Grand Anse.
We proposed a series of large pitched roof structures to accommodate the Seychelles Tourism Academy’s requirements, which would allow a great degree of flexibility to their teaching spaces. A rigid structural grid defines the project from outside to inside, signalling its presence on the façade, while acting as a framework within which each function of the hotel is contained.

EDUCATIONAL PROJECT
Surya Varsani International School, India
Situated in Bhuj, the proposed design features an international school block with hostel accommodation, staff accommodation, sports complex and much more. The client wished for the building to express influences the colonial architecture in elevation. We have used local material to enhance the beauty of the building. To protect the structure from the extreme heat, hollow blocks have been used as defence. The surrounding passages create coolness within the classrooms.

Contract: Traditional
Status: Completed
MY RESPONSIBILITIES:
I started work on this project at the beginning of RIBA Stage 5 which comprised of resolving construction details, coordinating information, issuing construction packages, answering site queries and reviewing subcontractor packages. Despite the project being on site, certain aspects had not been fully resolved, such as the design and layout of the Entrance roundabout which I was responsible for designing. I was also responsible for problem solving any issues that arose on site under the direction of the Project Architect. Attending site visits equipped me with an improved understanding of the construction process.
