The planned multifaith center project within CET campus in Kerala requires the demolition of two existing buildings. The site’s lush vegetation and tropical climate provide an ideal context for this endeavor. With its proximity to the architecture and civil departments, the center will serve as a professional hub, fostering interfaith collaboration and promoting cultural inclusivity.

CONCEPT

The proposed multifaith center design project at CET campus in Kerala aims to create an inclusive space where individuals can freely practice their beliefs without feeling alienated. Inspired by religious architectural elements, the design incorporates a bio wall within the meditation hall, enhancing the ambiance with its air purifying properties. The concept envisions a cooler and fresher atmosphere, fostering a harmonious environment for spiritual reflection and interfaith dialogue.

PURAKA

PURAKA RESIDENCE

PURAKA Residence, a semester 4 design project, caters to the unique needs of a 6-member family in Trivandrum. Named the “Breathing House,” it embodies a living, energetic space. Designed to accommodate a wheelchair-bound 19-year-old and nurture the musical passion of a 9-year-old girl, it harmoniously embraces the grandparents, gynecologic mother, and businessman father. The house breathes through its innovative ventilation system, promoting a healthy and refreshing environment. With thoughtful spatial planning and inclusive design, PURAKA Residence fosters a vibrant and inclusive family lifestyle.
