P R O F I L E

I am a passionate, and a dynamic architecture student. I set out to pursue new opportunities and experiences through design. I believe that ‘good designs are contagious’, hence, I surround myself with great examples and feats in architecture for inspiration- it leaves room for creativitity and innovation in my designs.

I am self driven, and collaborative; it has helped me become a better leader, and an even better team player. I am highly sensitized and informed about social and environmental issues, and like to delve into solutions that respond to humane needs.

JAYANAGAR 4th BLOCK MARKET BANGALORE, KARNATAKA

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT CENTRE APPASANDRA, KARNATAKA

C O N C E P T

Ideating a MIXED USE Building concept to equip the New BDA Complex with a combination of Retail + Office. This will bring the building to blend multiple uses into one, and the functions of which are integrated to some degree. Space organisation is a major part that will aid in the building efficacy. The building that was designed for retail will be redeemed, as well as the new MIXED USE concept as a proposal will sit with the surrounding built environment.

To retain the structural system of the complex building, and enhance the skin of it by introducing a facade that’s porous, and allows the building to breath.

To enhance the consumer experience while shopping.

To improve the vertical circulation in the building by proposing programs that will encourage the consumers to use the floors above.

A better underground parking system complying to the norms for the cars today

The retail of the building remains of high value, hence proposed program of the building is Retail + Commercial

Jayanagar 4th Block Market was built in 1962 as a planned neighbourhood market. The neighbourhood originally consisted of a single, diversified community made up of residents who were at the time a part of the working class community, who came from different parts of the country and backgrounds. As a result, the market reflected this very character. The neighbourhood has witnessed a significant loss of this identity, and the market has had a progressive decline in accessibility and a customer base that appreciates its value. In addition to recognising the economic forces at work in the current scenario, the project aims to restore value to the market.

This enterprise would encourage the women to come together as a community, where they would understand the brimming opportunities for entrepreneurship

This enterprise would bring forth a congenial visual experience where the women would feel comfortable working in. The site is in a perpetual mix with the surroundings- the nature, the buildings, the water tank. Incorporating such elements with the built environment would help enhance the spatial and sensorial response from the site.

KIOSK DESIGN

A reading kiosk for alittle boy, next to a serene water body. Theme of the project was ‘Silence’.

Architect’s Note: Silence is as powerful and frail like a spider’s web. Silence reveals more than what it should.

A being can converse with silence and befriend it.

ROOM OF LIGHT

Room of light brings an escape for the little boy. He runs up to the ramp where he is greeted by his friends. The peak window is open to sky, that brings in enormous light, and fills up the space with light
