Mixed-Use Skyscraper
An explorative design of a towering mixed-use building that will for the crux of a urban skyline and cater to the development of multitude of economic and human activities that interconnects the human nature to the monolithic scale.

The Story of Design
A podium is developed to accomodate the ground activities as well as bifurcate the various access.
The tower tapers towards the top, accentuating its height and verticality.
The tower is placed on the southeast part of site, guided by the urban axis and maximising view.
The corners of the tower is softened to reduce sharp edges, which allows for smooth air movement.
The shape of the tower is decided upon as a triangle to optimise wind turbulence.
The twist in the building helps in decreasing the eddy currents formed, by redirecting it vertically.
Site Analysis
Procedural Form Development
Rhino+Grasshopper was used in order to guide the form development processm with the tower of the building being developed using geometric parameters with control over its shape, curvature, rotation, taper and twist. It was further put through several iteration to optimise the views through galapagos.

Academic Project | Semester V | 2021
Auditorium
The project was an exploration into spacial development, form building, developing user experience and experimenting in facade treatments. The design development has been motivated by the need to break symmety and create balance by means of assymmetry.

The Story of Design
The core of the building made up of the auditorium seating and stage
Transforming the related spaces to align along the core space
Additional spaces like backstage area, lobby, corridor, cafeteria
Breaking direct symmetry and balancing it by functionality
Conversion of seating to a more effective and efficent layout
Extrapolating various parts to create variation in the height profile

Academic Project | Semester VII | 2022
Campus
An educational campus for a fine arts institute focuses on understanding and implementing aspects of master plan, spacial exploration, developing spaces, inculcating interpersonal interactions and achieving effective planning of funtional spaces.

The Story of Design
3 Instituitional buildings for painting, sculpting and ceramics
Cutting through the focal region to form semi-open spaces and create directional views and narrative
Inward facing comfirguration for interconnectedness
Identifying axial centres and terminal points to define programmings
Transforming form to create interpersonal spaces and social connections in students
Placing additional spaces including library, kiln, admin, amphitheatre to react to the site and context
