The experimental architecture workshop involved concepts of metabolism in architecture and a series of interactions with Prof. Rachel Armstrong’s philosophies. Chemistry involving Copper Sulphate solution, iron oxides, Sodium Hydroxide on an oil base in a Petri dish to incorporate fluid reactions and dynamic formations were performed.

New headquarters was built to reflect the health and wellness product manufacturing company’s vision of improving lives through affordable self-care products. The design concept, “Be well,” was inspired by nature and the importance of self-care. The lighting design emphasizes the connection to outdoors with a central focus on the communicative stair. The office design mixes a relaxed work environment with playful collaboration zones and utilizes led luminaires to achieve a low LPD, contribute to LEED Gold Certification, and maintain a low budget. The project was well received, with users expressing their admiration for the stair wall design.

A new vision of the riverfront metropark transforms the ever-declining industrial land and underutilized public assets into a place of: Connection to nature, history, community, and the Maumee River. Lighting for the spaces such as the Restaurant and multi-purpose area, cabanas and the riverwalk were conceptualized as a connection to the dark sky and starry night mesmerized by the brilliance of the fireflies. The project revived the natural habitat with water features and overlooks and adding an illuminated 50feet tall tower as a beacon.

To reclaim its civic center campus as welcoming to local citizens and open cultural center was the vision of Sunnyvale City. The project involved various disciplines to come up with a tactical engineering schema including sustainability. Daylight simulation was also part of this endeavour. The lighting concept addressed these as primary inspirations culminated with the unique structural forms envsioned for the council chamber. New technical know-how and latest fixtures were utilized for this project.

This internship for one year was a part of the Master’s curriculum at Hochshule Wismar, Germany.
Strategies for lighting design such as grazing and highlighting the facade, usage of spill light from windows were based on the architect’s and principle designer’s feedback received in the project.
Zaha Hadid Architects conceptualized the Condominium residences to depict the intermingling of the various aspects of New York City as well as the surrounding High Line symbolized by the chevron pattern. Lighting design by OVI respects the architecture in illuminating the details.

Simulation studies were a part of the intensive design process for calculation of light levels in the meeting rooms for the renovation of the West Block of the Parliament of Canada.
During the internship I had the opportunity to work on various projects - international and within USA.
Design details developed through various phases and sample studies enriched the experience. Custom made luminaires for this project with an approach towards innovation led the team to adventurous endeavors with different people involved in the making of luminaires in the factory.
Sustainable design was also achieved along with daylight and other necessary calculations for energy efficiency .
Advisor : Matias Del Campo
As a part of the the seminar, module developemnts in various softwares such as TopMod, Maya, Unity and Vuforia engine, Fologram with Rhino etc. were realized. Virtual reality and theories related to robotics in architecture were carefully integrated within the design development.

Lighting design was conceptualized to create highlights, silhouettes, ambient light and shadows. Illuminating the landscape for a private residence is like painting a picture, with hues and undertones full of perfection for specific visual points designed by the architect for security, late night walks, serenity and sculptural findings that delight amidst a serene ambiance.

Mentor: Chris Mitchell Group of 4 persons International Landscape Lighting Institute Troy, New York, USA
The project consolidated a practical landscape lighting training complete with lectures related to technological and conceptual lighting in landscape.

Scope of work during the internship: Site study, Collaboration of drawings Area: 480 sq m
Perched on a sloping hill Nisha’s Play School is one the most sought after schools in Goa, India The personalized architecture for students enhances their playfulness answering their numerous queries with answers enhancing their emotional intelligence.
The site in cradled with nature on all sides and the structure is situated on a hill, making the amphitheater accessible by road, though it is situated on the roof.
The utmost welcoming feature of the play school includes the glamorous glass amphitheater accessed from the ground level although it lay on the topmost floor of the school building.
The architecture is focused on daylight and use of local materials. Reuse of materials and interesting proportions of architectural elements for kids throughout the school are apparent and amusing as one passes from secret rooms, magic cabinets and play rooms.
A sensual touch of nature suggests comfort between the strong foundational columns. Perched on the top is the glass amphitheater that shines like a crown in the filtered sun-rays from the huge surrounding trees.
