ABOUT ME An inspiring student driven by hands on creative work and inspired by all dimension of art, architecture and illustrations.I believe in creating environment to do more than serving a function but to create experience by evoking a unique emotional response. My design incorporates the natural light its patterns, ventilation to bringout life to space I build. For me, building should construct on essentials of clarity ,utility and effect. Always simplicity is more appreciated than what is more complicated. The following is a collection of my projects which reflects my passion for art and architecture.

COMMUNITY CENTER

AT VILAPPILSALA, SEMESTER 03 Community centres are public spaces where the members of community come together for group activities, public meetings and other purposes. The project aims at the development of members of vilappilsala community and acts as a platform for sharing their thoughts.

CONCEPT The building should create an identity for the area and community. It has to be flexible enough to cater to the activities happening thought out of the day and people should feel its presence among them.
