PROFILE 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 ty and innovation in my designs.

CONCEPT

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.

DE S I G N D E V E L O P M E N T

INTERVENTION

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.

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.
