Wardha,Maharashtra 2024
The Cultural Centre site is located in a village named Girad in Wardha. Girad is well known for the Tomb of Sheikh Farid, an 13th Century Sufi Saint. The village is also a center of Organic Farming Revolution in the District.
We surveyed the site, excavated test pits, assessed the soil conditions and conducted few soil tests. We performed experiments with a new mortar and observed it having a good binding strength.
The project was designed to consume 0% cement and steel, relying on locally sourced materials. We conducted an inclusive study of socio-economic & ecological factors, promoting the local economy by involving local craftsmen and local materials in the building process. We aimed to set an example demonstrating that vernacular architecture still remains a viable and effective solution for modern lifestyle.
Built up Area: 4100 sq. ft.

CookingStudio
Wardha,Maharashtra
The construction of the Cooking Studio began around 2004 to serve as a Botanic Lab. However, the construction was stalled due to unavailability of funds with the NGO. In 2024, we resumed the work with a new destined function of a Cooking Studio.
We surveyed the plot and documented the existing building. Thereafter, we began work on design development of Toilet Block while trying multiple iterations for the roof. The existing lines of vaults were used as inspiration for the roof design. We used vault as a roof member in order to eliminate use of reinforcement.
I regularly visited the site to inspect and provide work instructions. We also worked on the subfloor for Oxide floor finish and a trellis arbor covering the 70 feet diameter span of the building. Adding to that, we did multiple works on structural level to complete the construction part of the project. We also worked on estimation of expenses and the time required to complete the project.
Built up Area: 3900 sq. ft.

We worked on bringing the walls up above the plinth level. We worked on Design Development of the roof, windows and interior planning. Local materials such as Fly Ash Bricks, Mud Blocks, Sandstone and Red Burnt Bricks were primarily used in the project. I regularly visited the site to inspect and provide instructions.

Shantiniketan,WestBengal 2023
A Residential project in Shantiniketan, in the Eastern region of India, known for its peaceful atmosphere, serene life, natural beauty with lush green forest.
I worked on Design Development of the space. I did a thorough assessment of the location, climate, regional architecture, material availability and applied it in the best possible way.
I made multiple iterations of the roof to merge it ecologically and aesthetically with the surroundings. Clay tiles, Mud, thatch, bricks and lime were the materials intended to be used.

TheWake-upCall
MixedMediaArtwork 2024
‘Exodus’ was an Art Exhibit by Golak Khandual held at IIC, New Delhi. We collaborated and conceptualized “The Wake-Up Call” which was also featured as the poster for Exodus. I also CuratedtheExhibit.
“The Wake-Up Call” is intended to encourage people to wake up from the practice of Bhed Chaal (blindly following) and to become more vigilant.Itencouragedmovingonfrombeinga slave to conventional societal norms of accepting the fate and compliance. Instead, it advocated for independent thinking and to questionthesystemanditsworkings.
Other than that, the artwork is open for people’s perception in political, educational, economic,culturaland/orsocietalissues.
