Nature dwell Everyone requires a get-away from the everyday monotonous life. This interpretation centre creates a path to help one rediscover our connection with nature and spirituality.

“People go to museums looking for a true experience with actual artefacts, yet their sole experience is visual; how authentic is that?" The pockets of spaces drive the flow of an inclusive experience while acknowledging the environment.

These spaces provide sensory experiences, welldeserved comfort, and necessary urban detox.

This space will act as a sensory garden.

Multisensory elements like cobbled paths, sounds and scents are implemented. People can rest here and take in the landscape. It will also have information displayed about horticulture around.

This space will host exhibitions and introduce a spectrum of sensory experiences. It will reconnect us to materials, sounds, and things around us.

The quiet room is a space dedicated to self-care. The aim is to create a comfortable and soothing environment. It can be used for meditation, art therapy or journalling sessions. Lighting and temperature will be maintained according to the mood.

Namma gnanalaya Knowledge is no longer limited to libraries. Public spaces are an essential part of the character of a city. But it’s hard to stay relevant. Libraries have the potential to become active public spaces by serving as community learning spaces. This design project strives to build and promote the ecosystem of a publicly owned, free library system that is accessible to all that will act as a cultural & literacy hub for the immediate community. It serves as a friendly space children want to visit to learn and play. Caretakers can look after them and participate as a neighbourhood.

The spatial logic of the building comes from how the varied age groups use the space. Noise levels were considered while accomadating the programs.

Theres mindful priority given to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Made in mud An introduction to the vernacular and contemporary mud building systems is reflected in the miniature model of studio space built for me. The spaces are designed to fall in line with my hobbies and what I’d want during a weekend getaway. This process evoked sensibility toward using mud as a building material. It helped me understand the use of mud both from a sensorial and technological perspective.

Jullay house The design of the traditional building is based on several best practices for sustainable architecture, primarily aimed at reducing heating loads and following basic green architectural concepts such as using energy-efficient materials and resources that are close to the site. The necessity for building a space that helps save resources and highlights the lost traditional architecture forms practised by the locals was the driving factor. The building focuses on the indigenous identities and thus forms the idea of a place by locals for locals.

The building provides multifunctional areas that create an environment for both the locals and the tourists to rest and socialise. The concept brings in locals as a very important binding factor of the space which is facilitated with activities like an open kitchen, community gathering spaces like a solar room, eating area, and the prayer/ resting room for the locals and tourists respectively.

Pop-up tapri This is a repurposed version of a classic chai stall (tapri). It was designed for women on the go. With more women working in the delivery and transport businesses, there's a necessity for a space where they can feel safe and rest comfortably. It also acts as a hobby sharing and community building area.

They are placed around the hotspots of the city.

Bugle park Parks have a strong social character. As a public space, the park has a lot of potential for community building. It also caters to a diverse crowd. Initiatives could be made to get together with like-minded people through activities. The park can be used as a platform to ignite the lost spark of the significance of our neighbourhood.

Placemaking motivates people to reimagine and remake public places as the soul of every community. It is focused on observing, listening to, and questioning the people who live, work, and play in a specific location in order to satisfy the needs and desires for that space as well as for their community as a whole.
