ARTIST VILLAGE This project was inspired by the planning and details from our architectural marvels like temples from hampi. The design respects the site and its immediate surroundings, keeping the language and features of the places we visited in annegundi. The design has another dimension to it by using stellation in the elevations also which gives a cool micro-climate with the help of courtyards and planning.

HOUSING FOR ARTISTS in a time constraint schedule the world needs more of spaces that can be molded and used as per the demand of situation and flexibility of users. the concept of co-living where the spaces can be shared and workspace can be incorporated within must be introduced. the design proposal is inclined towards this idea of co living and create a space that connects the outside world and nature together. the design proposal also encourages professionals of various background helping each other to grow as an individual and a community to achieve social gatherings in society.

THE ENTRANCE HAS STAIRS WHICH BECOMES A SPACE FOR THE PUBLIC,AN ICON TO SIT AND INTERACT INSPIRED BY THE ICONIC LIBRARIES OF MUMBAI.

SCHOOL AND SHELTER FOR THE HOMELESS the idea is to bring in hybridization into design. the school, when not in use can be turned into a shelter home for the needed. the school is designed around the sense. the use of tactile materials to enhance the experience of touch is proposed. pastel colors for rooms and corridors makes the space visually appealing. double height and semi open spaces are connected at regular intervals to create a play of volume within the premises.

AYURVEDA IS A LIFESTYLE MORE THAN A SCIENCE. The concept comes from the duplication of human and design similarities. The argument that a building also breathes. Dhyana is a center that promotes healing and well being of all of it’s users. With open courtyards and breakout spaces for students to facilities for other users and staff members, Dhyana is a safe and inclusive space for all.

CONCEPT AND FORM DEVELOPMENT

Dhyana - is a space that learns from the human body and applies it to design. It attempts to breath, live, grow similar to that of human growth and evolution

the aim was to design a space that resonates with one, whilst on their journey to self-care and inner healing, regardless of it being mentally, spiritually or physically

Govardhan Ecovillage in Palghar, established its image of a retreat and wellness centre and started preaching education. In a period, the Ecovillage gained popularity among the public, leading to a rise in footfall.

The centre did not have any accommodation facility during the start. the addition of a wellness center resulted in an increase in number and sheds light upon revenue generation issues and solutions.

DESIGN DISSERTATION(ONGOING) JATRA A JOURNEY TO THE DIVINE

A fleeting trail of followers were ceased by the earth stumbling upon a place which opened doors to the Lord, a haveli , a palace where the lord resides -Nathdwara. With the palace came the artists like dancers, singers,painters and cooks, all devoted to do seva of the Lord Shrinathji. The artists were inspired to express the essence of the haveli and the festivals captured in the form of Pichwai paintings, the earliest presence of Shrinathji. The stories that were beautifully captured in these paintings were hung at the backdrops of the haveli, showing different episodes of Lord Shrinathji’s life that led to the development of a city, a sect. This holistic development ceased after a few years. These paintings along with other intangible art have faced a decline in their nature, which requires a voice, a space that would tell the stories of the haveli,the Lord and reconnect the bond that is devotion. The decline is a result of the disconnect artists felt to create Pichwai paintings, compromising the original methods of the art and involved into a different kind of art that obtained them faster methods of earning. There are only a dozen of artists that remain to practice the original form of Pichwai art and other intangible forms of art in Nathdwara. The connection is required, a medium, a canvas where these artists’ Pichwai paintings can be displayed to narrating the age old stories, stories of devotion.
