SHILPAGRAM

A Skill upliftment centre/ Academic Work SEMESTER IV

TOOLS USED: AUTOCAD, SKETCHUP, PHOTOSHOP, TWINMOTION

Nestled within the artistic haven of Raghurajpur lies a skill center, a testament to the village’s rich cultural heritage and innovative design ethos. This center, conceived with a visionary approach, embraces the concept of courtyards as focal points, weaving together a tapestry of visual connections that inspire creativity and collaboration. As visitors traverse through the labyrinthine pathways, they are greeted by a symphony of colors and craftsmanship, each courtyard revealing a new facet of traditional artistry. Yet, amidst the bustling activity, a serene oasis awaits—a pristine pond, shimmering like a hidden gem amidst the verdant landscape. This unexpected element serves as a tranquil refuge, inviting individuals to pause, reflect, and draw inspiration from the harmonious blend of nature and creativity that defines the essence of Raghurajpur.

DOOR TO HEAVEN

A pedestal and a relaxing space in the heart of a city/ Academic Work

SEMESTER III

SOFTWARES USED: SKETCHUP, PHOTOSHOP

The pedestal stands as a symbol of transition, a doorway from the clamor of the chaotic world to the serene embrace of peace. Its majestic form, etched with intricate designs, serves as a beacon of hope amidst the tumultuous currents of life.

As one approaches, the chaos begins to fade, replaced by a sense of calmness that permeates the air. Each step taken towards the pedestal is a step closer to tranquility, a journey of inner reflection and introspection. With every touch, it becomes a conduit, guiding weary souls towards the sanctuary of serenity. On this pedestal, amidst the chaos and noise, lies the gateway to a world where harmony reigns supreme, inviting all who seek solace to step through and find respite from the storms of existence.

Chaotic

The form’s narrow entrance and sharp edges reflect the chaotic pace of modern life. The restricted entryway represents challenges in navigating society’s complexities, while the sharp edges symbolize abrupt twists and turns.

Less Chaotic

The form represents the transition from chaos to calm, featuring fewer sharp edges and a wider entrance. This symbolizes a move towards a more peaceful and harmonious existence, where challenges are minimized and pathways are open.

Calm

The form embodies a peaceful world, offering a gateway away from chaos with its wide entry and absence of sharp edges. It signifies a tranquil transition, inviting individuals to leave behind the turmoil of chaotic life and embrace a serene existence.

NIRWANA

A Studio house designed for large joint family/ Freelance work

2023

TOOLS USED: AUTOCAD, REVIT, SKETCHUP, TWINMOTION,

The studio house design for a large joint family revolves around the central concept of a courtyard, which serves as the heart of the home. Enclosed by the surrounding structure, the courtyard acts as an openair gathering space, fostering connectivity and unity among family members. With lush greenery, comfortable seating areas, and perhaps a small fountain, the courtyard offers a serene retreat where family members can unwind, socialize, and engage in various activities. The living spaces are strategically arranged around the courtyard, providing each member with privacy while still promoting a sense of togetherness. Large windows and glass doors blur the lines between indoors and outdoors, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces and creating a seamless transition between the two realms. This design not only embraces the cultural significance of communal living but also celebrates the beauty of nature, ultimately enriching the daily lives of all who reside within its walls.
