With this mass housing project i aim to at providing a sense of peace and a vibrant community space. As a community requires social interaction all the common areas and landscapes have been planned to promote interaction and a sense of belonging. keeping the context in mind; the hillocks and freshwater stream were the primary areas of focus. six typologies have been planned in accordance to the prevailing site features and mass housing aspects.

CONVENTION CENTER

I conceptualize a convention center which is a concentrate center of Ideas and opinions. Where strings of different ideas and opinions come together to tie knots. I have tried to use Simple organic and free flowing waves for my structures. These waves create a sense of rhythm and ease In the environment.

A place where all the structures are different yet stand in harmony.

VIRASAT 3-STAR HOTEL

Bringing in the age old mughal legagy into a modernist town. Aurangabad being the city of wonders be it heritage or the vehicle of development coming to its way, it is standing high on the pedestal of development, the development of auric city has brought in a new venture of business and industrial development in the city other than tourism sector [which already exists]. All these factors give birth to a need i.E a hotel which serves both purposes (tourism as well as business) Considering the city context (heritage and the upcoming evolution) i thought of tying knots between the age old mughal tradition and architecture with the modern high tech city. I conceptualize to carry forward the mughal legacy keeping in mind the modern set up of today’s society. Old roots giving birth to new shoots.

CAFE DESIGN With this project of cafeteria i aim to create a hanging out space which is comfortable, relaxing and content within itself.

Taking into consideration the site surroundings and to achieve the set aim I have tried to play with the roof which basically resembles a butterfly.

The butterfly roof is then paired up with tree columns and pop of colour.

EXHIBITION PAVILLION

PLAN

For this model we decided to create a shell structure in the form of a catenary vault for an exhibition space .We created this pavilion using the same material (i.e.

Pop and shear fabric ) with two different methods they are as follows:

PROCESS FOR MODEL 2 For the model we created a mold using paper balls and then laying thin clay sheets on the top to achieve the desired form. After this model the following steps were followed:-

1. PREPARING MOULD

2. MIXING FABRIC PIECES IN POP

3. APPLYING FABRIC PIECES TO THE CLAY MOULD

ELEVATION

4. FINISHING TO THE CLAY PIECES

5. DRYING THE MODEL

CAFÉ DA PRAIA

BEACH CAFÉ

TC489629

GROUND FLOOR PLAN Keeping the idea of designing a beach side café we decide to make goa the part of our journey. Goa is an amalgamation of Indian and Portuguese culture.’Rome of the East’ is allvibrant in its form, getting it self-coloredfrom the two most vibrant cultures. We decided to pen down the same story of goa through our perspective in our café design.

Our material palate was simple and prompted the local skilled artisans. Use of cane lights, woven carpets on the cilling and the fabric used all talks about the goan glory.Colour palate is vibrant and fits into the beach vibe where the blues rule.

INTRODUCTION: THE SITE HAS BEEN SELECTED IN THE LOWER PART OF WEST BENGAL {SATJELIA}. IT HAS BEEN SELECTED BECAUSE IT WAS AMONG THE AREAS THAT GET AFFECTED BY NATURAL CALAMITIES AND IT IS AMONG THE POOREST AREA THAT IT IS IN URGENT NEED FOR A PROPER HOUSING. CONCEPT: WE ACTUALLY TEND TO CREATE A SPACE WHICH IS A MARRIAGE BETWEEN THE SCIENTIFIC THEORIES AND LAWS WITH TRADITIONAL VALUES AND SENTIMENTS. ACCESS:

AS IT IS LOCATED ON AN ISLAND, ONLY WAY TO ACCESS THE SITE IS TO GET THERE BY THE USE OF FERRY BOAT AND THEN MOVE INLAND BY THE MEANS OF VEHICLE. LOCATION: 1) STATE: WEST BENGAL 2) DISTRICT: GOSABA, VILLAGE: SATJELIA 3) ELEVATION: 3MTR FROM SEA LEVEL 4) COORDINATES22°09’27.9”N 88°52’18.5”E

CONCEPT

1.FORM EVOLUTION ITS ELLIPTICAL FORM [CONVEX SURFACE] COULD RESIST WINDS WITH HIGHER VELOCITIES MUCH EFFICIENTLY AS COMPARED TO CUBICAL FORM [FLAT SURFACE].

WE BASICALLY EVOLVED A FORM WHERE THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF ALL THE INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS COINCIDE WITH ONE ANOTHER IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE STABILITY AND BALANCE.

ABOUT SITE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS: A) SURROUNDINGS: 1] ROAD ON SOUTH SIDE 2] FARM ON NORTH SIDE 3] HOUSES ON EAST AND WEST B) WEATHER CONDITIONS: 1] TEMPERATURE: 34*C - 20*C 2] COOL SEA BREEZE DURING NIGHT AND THUS THE TEMPERATURE IS FAVOURABLE ALL DAY. 3]HUMIDITY: 80% OTHER: HIGH TIDES AT SEA, THERE IS MAXIMUM POSSIBILITY OF SUNDARBAN DELTA BEING OVER FLOODED. C) WIND FLOW: 1] OCTOBER TO MARCH FROM NORTH EAST. 2] MARCH TO SEPTEMBER FROM WEST. D) SOIL TYPE: IN GENERAL SUNDARBAN SOIL HAS 45% CLAY, 35% SAND AND 20% SILT AND <1% ORGANIC MATTER.

TYPOLOGY :CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECT : THOUGHTS PARALLELS AREA : 500 sq.m YEAR : 2018 INFORMATION :

LIGHTNESS OF BEING

Through the manipulation of forms, play of materials and control of light & shadow, the concept evolves into a sensory experience.

Located at the coastal city of Kozhikode in Kerala, the project was given an architectural envelope that orientates to the north providing privacy to the entrance facade. The house then rests within a completely inwards focused environment, separating both the social and coexistence space on the ground floor and the private space on the upper floor.

The zoning distribution blends the family's common space and an inside-out living area adjacent to one of the fundamental parts of the project - the indoor courtyard on the ground floor and the private space on the upper floor.
