MANI HOTA DESIGN

PORTFOLIO 2019-2023

B-Arch 4th Year

One of the first things you learn about architecture is scale, as everything must be to scale. It determines your building type- from monumental to miniature and everything in between. Even an incremental shift within the scale can lead to massive differences, each with their own implication. The projects covered in this portfolio each correspond to a different scale, ranging from the built (urban) to a unit ( a room), each with their own prerequisites and set of criteria that had to be fulfilled. Thereby elucidating the multiplicity of design and the range of possibilities it beholds.

The only constant amidst this chasm of possibilities and its ever changing dynamic is none other than the human, who is often lost in the splendor of design. By bringing ‘the human’ back in our plans and designs, we create much more sustainable, holistic , sensorial and habitable spaces.
