T Nagar (Thyagaraya Nagar) in Chennai is one of the busiest commercial and residential hubs in India, known for its retail, shopping streets, and dense urban fabric. Over the years, urban development initiatives have aimed to improve infrastructure, pedestrian movement, and livability while addressing challenges like traffic congestion, overcrowding, and inadequate public spaces.
Despite these improvements, balancing commercial vibrancy with livability remains a challenge, requiring a sustainable, people-first approach.

centre
Designing a drug de-addiction center is a highly sensitive and meaningful task one that goes beyond just building walls and rooms. In my thesis, I was eager to know how the act of architecture could itself be used as a healing mechanism. It was then that I began exploring the concept of healing architecture an approach that gives maximum priority to mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing through intelligent spatial design At the center of my vision was the use of bio-domes geodesic domes to house natural ecosystems in contained environments These are not design elements; they're environments which place individuals in contact with nature in the most intense and unobtrusive manner.
