Afterdedicatingadecadetostudyingarchitecturewithafocus on addressing the world’s biggest challenges climate change and global warming my academic journey has deepened my understanding of various scales of environmental impact. My bachelor’s thesis, “Hazardous to Harmony: Cherishing ClimateChangeBeyondResilience”,gavemeinsightsintomacroclimates, city planning, and healthy living architecture. This foundation was further expanded in my master’s thesis, “Human Comfort: Module Make Microclimate”, where I explored microclimates, the role of neuroscience in architecture, and the concept of embodied architecture. Through this research, I’veconstantlyencounteredquestionsandsolutionsthatpush me to “rethink human habitats”.

Shaping Tomorrow’s Living:Architecture for Evolving “Human Comfort”
( MODULE MAKE MICRO-CLIMATE )
This project proposes a transformative approach to architectural design by drawing inspiration from the natural habitats of other species, emphasizing environmental comfort and well-being. In the face of global warming and mental health challenges, we aim to reimagine human habitats by leveraging principles of neuroscience and embodied architecture. Utilizing locally available slip-cast terracotta modules (1’ x 1’), This design allows for modular aggregation to create diverse microclimates, enhancing environmental wellness. Terracotta’s self-thermal properties contribute to adaptive dynamic sustainability, reducing energy consumption and global warming. This prototype prioritizes temperature comfort and sensory experience through efficient heating and cooling systems while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

This project envisions a floating habitat that adapts to environmental changes and fosters a symbiotic relationship with aquatic ecosystems. Addressing global challenges and future needs, it explores water as a new frontier for human habitation, complementing land, air, and space. The design integrates advancements in transportation, digital communication, and green infrastructure to support local food systems and promote sustainable, healthy living. Emphasizing equity, technology, and environmental awareness, the habitat enhances human well-being, economic opportunities, and quality of life while addressing challenges on both macro and micro scales.
From Hazard To Harmony : Cherishing Climate Change Beyond Resilience -ACase Of Mumbai City
This method develops a habitat that floats and is powered by artificial intel ligence, relies less on physical infrastructure, is simpler, healthier, and more productive, encourages greener places, and has a hydrodynamic form structure. The city is encircled by a geodesic dome, and the triangulation geometry provides adequate strength. a biophilic facade and a green belt to alleviate humidity in the city’s coastal area. This initiative develops habitats that accept climate change and guarantee a healthy environment.
Mentor Harsh Sharma
This project addresses the challenges of climate change, including sea level rise, excessive humidity, rainfall, UV rays, and harsh sunlight, by proposing a sustainable city design.Agreen belt around the coastal area helps reduce humidity (86%) and wind currents, while rainwater harvesting pods store excess rainfall (800 mm). Photovoltaic panels on a kinetic dome filter up to 99% of UV radiation and reduce infrared transmission by 90%. Photovoltaic glass panels provide 70%-90% transparency to reduce sunlight luminance. Oceanic vegetation in vacuum pipes, green belts, and biophilic facades absorb carbon emissions. Geodesic domes protect against wind and storms, allowing for solar gain, with a kinetic façade inspired by theAl Bahr Towers that adjusts to the sun’s movement, generating energy and providing shade. This design promotes a habitat that adapts to climate change, ensuring health, happiness, and development.
Student Housing : ForA.p.i.e.d Students
Each year, thousands of students arrive in Vallabh Vidyanagar, celebrated as the education hub of West Gujarat, to pursue their academic aspirations.This influx of students fosters a unique blend of cultural and linguistic diversity. For many, a hostel becomes their home during the years they dedicate to their education. While academics can be challenging, a sense of home provides comfort and balance. Student’s academic success is deeply influenced by the environment where they start and conclude their day.
Mentor : Pratik Patel
Inspired by the principles of pit moderate art, the design emphasizes openness, fluidity, and organic connections between spaces. By breaking down traditional barriers, the aim is to encourage meaningfulstudent interaction and create a sense of belonging. The two blocks are connected by a central communal space that serves as a hub for socialization, group work, and cross-pollination of ideas.
This project aims to redefine how students interact with architecture and each other, prioritizing connection and collaboration while allowing for moments of solitude and personal growth.Through thoughtful design and creative use of space, the goal is to create a sustainable, inclusive, and supportive environment for all occupants.

As a research driven studio, emphasis is given on material exploration and advanced tools, tethering labor intensive construction strategies with technology. CoolAnt is an off-shoot of Ant Studio, apractice that is a miscellany of Architecture and Product design inspired by teamwork and intelligence of Ants.
Yash Commercial Complex, Raipur
Project partneer: shrimayee
The project involves an innovative cooling system for the building’s west façade, utilizing terracotta extrusions through which water flows. This design creates a secondary skin to reduce heat and enhance cooling by directing air through the wet membranes. Cantilevered from the building’s main structure, the system provides space for plants to grow between the layers, further controlling heat and delivering a refreshing breeze to office spaces.This integration of natural elements and functionaldesign fosters a sustainable and comfortable indoor environment.
