5. HYBRID DEVELOPMENTS FOR SUSTAINABLE CITY GROWTH
Thesis Research & Design, M.S. Architecture, IIT,Chicago.
This thesis examines India’s urban landscape challenges and proposes a strategic approach for sustainable city growth, focusing on socio-economic development.
As the world’s 4th largest economy, India is experiencing rapid growth in business, population, and urban expansion. However, dense development favoring developers has led to ecological decline, unhygienic spaces, and traffic issues. Through an in-depth study of current urban development and its challenges, this thesis presents a new vision for sustainable city growth in India’s urban landscape.

6. INSTITUE OF CULINARY ARTS
Thesis design, B.Arch, UTU, India
This unique and iconic project was proposed in Mumbai to represent India’s rich culinary arts and food culture. As the first of its kind in the country, it was designed based on the concept of food plating, featuring a dynamic and chaotic form that enhances its visual appeal and establishes a strong identity within the Mumbai metropolitan area.
The model and render has been made by the owner. AI has been used for enhance the render quality only.
This thesis project presents the Culinary Institute of India, celebrating the country’s rich diversity in food and spices, deeply rooted in culture and tradition. Unlike other institutes housed in commercial buildings, this project is uniquely designed for its purpose. Located in BKC, Mumbai, a prime area, its visually striking form respects the surrounding architecture while drawing inspiration from a food platter’s organic and dynamic nature.
7. MIXED USED T.O.D
(Transit Oriented Development)
This Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is strategically located in the heart of Ahmedabad, a rapidly growing city with increasing business opportunities and a dense urban fabric. Designed to reduce carbon emissions, the TOD integrates a mixed-use program to enhance mobility and promote a seamless blend of functions, fostering a more efficient and sustainable urban environment.
8. FASHION & TEXTILE MUSEUM
Located in the heart of Surat, India—renowned as the textile hub—the project highlights the city’s industrial legacy, which significantly contributes to its GDP. It features a museum showcasing the history of textile manufacturing, including threads, machinery, and India’s rich cultural and traditional attire. Additionally, it serves as a vibrant center for socialization, workshops for emerging designers, and a state-level venue for fashion shows.
9. STUDIO HOME DESIGN
The studio house design, intended for single-person living, was a 2nd-semester undergraduate design studio project. Using fundamental geometric forms like cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and planes, the task was to create a massing that responds to the site context and climatic conditions, ensuring both functionality and spatial efficiency.
10. WORKING DRAWINGS & DETAILS
I have worked on various projects, primarily RCC-based, where I was responsible for creating construction drawings that were directly used by contractors and agencies. I also maintained direct communication with them to ensure seamless execution and project completion.

11 .PHOTOGRAPHY
As a passionate photographer, I have traveled to various places, capturing diverse moments through my lens. I enjoy all forms of photography except modeling or portrait photography, as I prefer an undisturbed process without the need for multiple shots of the same subject. My approach is to keep it natural, preserving the authenticity of each scene.
