This portfolio is compilation of the works and projects done in the academic year 2016 to 2021.

These works display my efforts in designing flexible and sustainable spaces to connect and bring people together under green roofs.

I am more interested in exploring vernacular and materials contextual to the places.

SITE ANALYSIS

Location: Shivamogga, Karnataka. Shivamogga, located in the Malnad region of Karnataka, is known as the “Gateway of Western Ghats” and “The Land of Hills.” The city is rich in history, with roots in dynasties like the Gangas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, and Vijayanagara. Key attractions include Jog Falls, Kodachadri Hills, Agumbe, and Honnemaradu. The region has cultural significance, being the birthplace of poets like Kuvempu and D.R. Bendre. Shivamogga is centrally located in Karnataka, providing proximity to major cities like Bengaluru, Mangalore, Hubli, and Davanagere. Despite being a smart city, it lacks proper infrastructure, but its development potential is high. The recent airport completion enhances connectivity to metropolitan cities, further boosting its growth.

Tourist attractions: Jog Falls (88km), Kodachadri (75km), Agumbe (65km), Honnemaradu, Keladi, Tyavarekoppa Tiger Safari, and more. Cultural significance: Birthplace of poets like Kuvempu, D.R. Bendre, and Tejaswi.

Land Use: Freedom Park was once a jail, now proposed as a green space; the surrounding area is residential with commercial spaces along main roads. Geography: Located on the banks of the Thunga River, with favorable climate and proximity to educational hubs.

Challenges: Infrastructure needs attention, but the city has a high potential for development, especially with improved connectivity through the airport.

My research has revealed a critical gap in India’s sports ecosystem, a lack of infrastructure and encouragement for regional and indigenous games.

My thesis tackles this head-on, proposing a dynamic space integrating sports and events, fostering a culture of physical activity among youth and celebrating the historically significant site in Karnataka – a former jail, now a symbol of liberation.

The aim is to create a vibrant hub that encourages youth participation and endorsement which provides much-needed training and showcase opportunities. It’s about empowering a new generation of athletes to explore the full spectrum of Indian sports and break free from the limitations of a single-sport focus.

DEFINITION:

A sequence of rhythmic steps or movements usually performed to music for pleasure or as a form of social interaction.

Dance is a global performance art, practiced for various reasons like fun, passion, competition, expression, and entertainment. It is closely linked to music, with rhythm, beats, and postures creating harmony with nature. In India, dance styles vary by region, culture, and tradition, with classical and folk-dance forms being prominent. Bharatanatyam, originating in Tamil Nadu and widely practiced in Karnataka, is a classical dance form that integrates mythology, balance, and alignment with nature. The learning process is structured, emphasizing rhythm, music, beats (thaala), and emotional expressions (nava rasa). In designing a Bharatanatyam studio, I aim to incorporate natural elements to create a meaningful and interactive learning environment.
