ABOUT ME Growing up experimenting with wood and metal to fitting them together in a building is my journey of architecture.

Exploring the materials, forms, shapes, and tools with adapting the future techniques such as digital fabrication has trained me for architectural challenges. Architecture is timeless and has a lot of things to describe your past and your coming future which can always be seen in my visualization in form of sketches. I find myself as an adaptable, ambitious, self-motivated, and persistent individual. My goal is to keep learning and refining my design perspective to an extent that it can start bringing about a change in society and make a difference in this field through my work.

The New Bern Public Library is envisioned as a center for lifelong learning, oriented around interactions between learners. It offers a rich variety of resources – providing access to physical and on-line collections, technology, and mentorship, in spaces that are flexible enough to grow alongside changing needs. The library will provide universal access to education and information, including engagement with both analog and digital resources for a rich learning and community experience.

AXIS

Main axis present on site

LAND REPLACED

In-respond of the flooding this land will be striking point and can be redeveloped with taking careful steps keeping in mind

CONSTRUCTIVE LINES

This constructive lines are drawn on basis of flow of water flow into the bottle neck and site

CONE OF ANGLE

In-respond of the site, cone of vision can be enhanced

FURTHER EXPENDED AREA

Existing bottle neck enhance the flow of water in prominent way towards the broad street side, and some sustainable design element should be added

Design idea The idea was to develop the land in such a way that it responds towards the regeneration of the area by minimizing the flooding effects of natural local species of vegetation which act as buffer between the public areas and the waterfront.

Mesh Screen

Mesh skin acts good for cutting the direct vision to the outside and also can bring the north light into the places. Mental is punched into the round holes and fitted on the frame.

EAST ELEVATION East Side elevation is also the River side elevation making it as the main elevation towards the proposed master plan. Maximum opening are provide on the east side.

NORTH ELEVATION North Side or Broad Street elevation is opening towards the Main street of the New Bern town and thus is creating the main Vehicular entrance to it.

Horizontal Louver system The Anodized Aluminum Horizontal Louver system is be specifically designed to prevent from the glare and also cut dun the noon sun intensity. 14” Aluminum sheet is twisted along the entire Facade creating a fish scale effect.

Part 1 Introduction to ceramic printing, and potter-ware 4.0

ARC 582 Ceramic Architectural Fabrication

This design & research seminar will explore 3D-printed ceramic assemblies drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of North Carolina clay craft. The course will oscillate between two mutually reinforcing projects: design & fabrication of a unitized screen wall and a study of regional ceramic history & techniques.

Tutorials, prototyping, and field trips will support these pursuits. Through algorithmic modeling, digital fabrication, hands-on making, observation, collection, and discussion, this course will span from native makers and folk potters to emerging digital systems. These investigations will generate space for critical discourse around the use of (digital) technology in architecture.

Workflow from rhino and grasshopper.

Script was designed for 2 types of input just like potter-ware, you can make a simple object or you can import a rhino object, this part of script deal with the number of base layer, layer height, overall object height and sides of objects.

Final script need to be copy past into notepad and renamed to .g code for printing.

Part of script contains the skirt settings, base settings and object contouring

Part of Script contains shifting the coordinates of the part of printing, flow of the mass and control over the rate of flow as well as, it contains the generation of g-code for printer.

Addition of the initial and end part of the script to make the desired workable script for the printer.

KALHAAR BLUE AND GREEN - 768

The site is situated in the suburbs of western Ahmedabad, With increasing population, development in the city has brought the barren lands into large individual housing scheme proposed as privately golf clubs and weekend leisure clubs. One such scheme is Kalhaar Blue and Green golf club.

As a builder proposed project the house was been build at a fixed location and leaving the large longitudinal vista towards the landscape.

As a design approach, we divided into different zones of activity such as party lawns calming pond shrubs beds, lily pond and multiple activity decks.

HARDSCAPE DETAILS

Building Use

Open vs Built

The character of façade is diminished as new structures are being developed in between the existing Portuguese buildings. Need for more recreational places and institutional buildings.

STREET REVITALIZATION CHHAPALI SHERI NIGHT MARKET Daman is an union territory. It has Portuguese character and ASI listed monuments. Has a coastline and a creek, shares its border with Gujarat and Maharashtra, it is a great place for weekend tourist and a small town for fisheries.

Project in coordination with Department of Urban Development

Building Height The primary function of the building is disturbed as the vendors illegally make space for the sale of their products.

Provides a clear idea for analyzing the density and the massing of the built structures The building height in nani daman differs as per the development of the area.

Building Condition Major roads are commercial or mixed use stretches which contributes to the traffic and congestion.

Newer buildings are defining the language which proves that daman is rewriting its history of being identified under various rulers but in another form this time

Unpaved walkways with non covered manholes, undefined parking spots

Shared Streets

Place making

Greenscape

Smart Street

Street sharing by vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This will promote active healthy communities.

To make the street user friendly various place making elements will transform space into happy places.

Streets are energy efficient, easy to maintain, and include healthy trees, plants, and permeable surfaces. This will add soft spaces that are soothing to eyes.

Physical and digital transformation of the street will be triggered by smart equipment.

Equal importance is given to vehicular and pedestrian users. Shared streets ensure streets are safe and shared comfortably by vehicles and pedestrian at day times. Night use of the streets will be limited to pedestrian only.

Benches, market stalls, parklets, outdoor furniture will give a complete street in terms of user experience.

Trees, plants and permeable surfaces will generate healthy street networks.

Security cameras for safety and Smart signage boards will enhance street characteristics and public information

Present condition, Redlining defines encroached areas.

Mixed Traffic with no sign of lanes makes it difficult to control traffic. Hard to define building fronts and walkways

Problem of on-street parking, with no paved walkways, no sign of street lights or street infrastructure.

Proposed condition. Yellow color defines clear difference between street and walkways.

Open Construction sites.

STREETSCAPE | Dustbin + Lighting & Security Cameras + Signage & Advertising + Trees

Street View After Intervention

The longitudinal street is typically a hot spot for traffic. And it was an approach towards creating slow pedestrian friendly street.

By creating small pocket spaces which can act as gathering spots and hangout spots. With providing tree buffer between street and walkways we tried to create more shaded region. The streets are intentionally turned and not kept straight to decrease the speed of traffic flowing.

Zone B

An intersection here is important to address the openness as well as should define clear boundary between street and walkways.

Idea is to encourage people use walkways more rather than creating vehicular traffic. Particular night time this spaces will become more safe and friendly.

Plan representing Zone B

Street View After Intervention

The concept behind the design was to make it look uniform. But, in contrary it divided into two attached house units. The Idea was developed because the house owners are very close friends and often have lived next to each other.

In spite of having two different families they often have dinner together.
