As an architecture graduate, I am deeply passionate about exploring and experiencing the true essence of architecture. My journey in this field has ignited a strong desire to design spaces that inspire and elevate the human experience. With a keen eye for drawing, I express my ideas visually and effectively. My love for music and photography further enriches my creative perspective, allowing me to approach design with a unique and holistic vision. Eager to collaborate within a dynamic team, I am driven to learn, grow, and make meaningful contributions.

“Vayal” - Land of Agriculture
Location : Emerald lake , Ooty.
Typology : Agriculture redearch and development center
Semester: 10th (Thesis Project)
Duration : 5 months (Jan 2024 - May 2024)
The project includes building a modern research center. It will provide training and technical support for local farmers and researchers. Educational programs will be offered to enhance skills in agriculture.
INDIA
Narikulihada is a small village in the Udhagamandalam Block of The Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu, India.
It is located 8 km west of Udhagamandalam and 9 km from Ooty. The local language is Tamil.

NILGIRI DISTRICT TAMILNADU
PROXIMITY |
The village proximity allows opportunities for local employment, participatory research, and farmer education programs.
Community with strong knowledge of traditional cultivation, especially tea and vegetable farming.
Project Justification
Aim
Primary role of agricultural research is to heighten knowledge and improve technology. The center aims to improve the livelihoods of farmers in the region and contribute to sustainable agricultural development. This center will serve as a hub for innovation, research, and collaboration in the field of agriculture.
Design Approach
Prioritizes functionality, sustainability, and integration with the natural landscape. The buildings are strategically oriented to maximize natural ventilation and daylight, reducing energy consumption.

STRENGTH
|
The Proximity to fertile agricultural land and natural lake. A Ideal climatic conditions for temperate crop research. Serene, undisturbed environment for focused research. Availability of water source from lake and rain harvesting.
WEAKNESS |
Limited direct vehicular access; remote location. Infrastructure like internet & power may require reinforcement.
OPPERTUNITY |
Promote sustainable agri-tech and native species preservation. Establishment of a regional agri-research hub in Nilgiris. Community integration: training local farmers in R&D techniques..
THREAT |
Encroachment or unsustainable tourism development nearby. Climate change impacts on rainfall & growing seasons. Biodiversity threats due to development if not managed sensitively.
SITE PLAN | The plan strategically arranges the key functional spaces to optimize accessibility, circulation, and environmental integration.
MASTER PLAN | SITE AREA = 1.5 ARE LAND

Materiality and landscaping appear thoughtfully integrated, with tree canopies and pathways suggesting a strong indoor-outdoor relationship
The architecture balances density with openness, utilizing voids and circulation paths to invite movement and interaction, embodying the “mosaic” concept through both form and function.
Public and semi-public zones are carefully curated to encourage interaction while respecting the need for programmatic privacy.
The “M0SAIC” metaphor is carried through in the interplay between form, function, and landscape— creating a vibrant, responsive civic space that celebrates diversity in both people and use.
