Academic Project- 8th Sem

Group Project of 5 Role- Conceptualization, Commercial Block planning, 3-D Modelling, Rendering

Project Scope: Project Location- Rk Puram, New Delhi This urban design project focuses on the redevelopment of Sector 1 in RK Puram, New Delhi, with the primary aim of transforming it into a vibrant, community-centric space that fosters engagement and interaction among residents and visitors. By employing principles such as urban placemaking, eyes on the street and pedestrian walkability, the project aspires to create a lively, accessible, and safe environment that enhances the overall quality of urban life.

The design incorporates a thoughtful balance between vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This ensures a safe and inviting atmosphere for foot traffic. The ground floors of residential buildings along the main street features retail spaces, complemented by wide footpaths that facilitate pedestrian flow and enhance walkability.The large green enclosed by housing towers serves as a hub for social engagement, encouraging various activities and fostering a sense of belonging among residents.

Overall, this project seeks to fill the existing gaps in the site by providing new opportunities for engagement and participation, ultimately enhancing the daily lives for all users.

HOSPITAL DESIGN HEALTH CARE ARCHITCETURE

Academic Project- 6th Sem Individual work

Project Scope: Project Location- Marine Drive, Mumbai This academic design project focuses on the development of hospital situated along the iconic Queen’s Necklace on Marine Drive, Mumbai.

The design is characterized by three distinct blocks interconnected through bridges, a thoughtful arrangement that ensures efficient segregation of critical care units from non-critical areas. This innovative layout not only optimizes the functional flow but also enhances the safety and health environment within the hospital, effectively minimizing the risk of disease transmission.

The primary aim of this project was to create a patient-friendly environment that prioritizes safety and health. There is a segregation of every zones based on the level of criticality, ensuring an organized layout that prevents contamination and also supports easy wayfinding.

This approach not only contributes to a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere but also instills hope and confidence in patients, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to providing superior care and treatment.

These terraces provide patients with serene, therapeutic views of the sea, promoting mental well-being and aiding in their recovery process. At the heart of the building lies a beautifully landscaped courtyard, equipped with comfortable seating spaces for visitors.

This courtyard not only offers a visually pleasing view from the corridor but also serves as a tranquil oasis within the hospital, enhancing the overall patient and visitor experience.

MUSEUM DESIGN SOCIOCULTURAL ARCHITECTURE

Academic Project- 5th Sem Individual work

Project Scope: Project Location- Mohali, Chandigarh The project focuses on the concept of integrating the natural surroundings with the built structure in a manner that allows visitors to experience the beauty of nature while inside the buildings. The site has been divided along two axes: a sunken courtyard running throughout the length of the site along the longer axis, and a OAT along the shorter axis. This design provides visitors with unobstructed views from one end of the site to the other.

The primary objective was to draw and engage a larger number of people to the museum, encouraging them to explore and appreciate Punjab’s art and culture through temporary exhibitions and interactive activities conducted outside the museum premises. The project encompasses various buildings, each dedicated to different activities.

These include an Auditorium, Skill Development Centers, Museum Halls, a Public Library, Residential Apartments, and an Office Building, among others.

At the heart of the museum building, there is a central staircase that facilitates a natural flow of movement and serves as a focal point, capturing the essence of the structure.
