Architectural Portfolio

“Hi, My name is Jay, an architect from India. I graduated in 2021 from Sarvajanik College of Engineering and Technology in Surat. Currently, I am a BIM Consultant for an Architectural firm and previously worked as a Junior architect. Technology-led design and construction workflow are always on my watchlist. I enjoy watching tech documentaries and eager about being optimistic in organizing workflow, methods, and processes. My research and learning are more focused on tech-enabled processes to participate, innovate and pioneer the future of the AEC Industry.”

Participatory Housing Approach for Conservation Induced Displacement

Case of Siddi Community of Uttar Kannada, Karnataka

Human-wildlife interdependence is key to the existence of human life. India has a rich biodiversity. But unfortunately, each day, a human death is witnessed due to human-wildlife conflicts in the country. The project aims to rebalance the human-wildlife interaction through co-existence at the regional level and separation at the local level to prevent conflict and reduce pressure. The bottom-up approach allows community participation and authorizes design decisions favorable to their growing necessities and changing aspirations.

Process and Interdependencies

It is a complex web of many processes and involves so many agencies, but an architect is rarely a part of this web. An architect can play a crucial role at various stages like site selection and planning, house design, support services, and many more by collaborating with different stakeholders for development.

Empericism: Redifining the essence

City Library as a Community center

The Urban Vertical Studio emphasizes micro and macro issues from a broader perspective and prepares not to think in isolation from the surrounding context. The local community is Sindhi migrants residing for many years but lacks public realm to experience healthy and better cities. The design evolved from Indusvalley civilization and consideration of contextual challenges in spatial planning of spaces keeping in mind 21-century library requirements.
