S.O.S. Gallery: Memorial Museum

Semester 10 (Thesis)

Project Type- Public Space/ Cultural Space

The thesis aims to memorialize those affected by the attacks while fostering Mumbai’s diversity and celebrating its resilience. The design perceives the site as a fabric where past events— represented by exhibits below—shape the present, with a roof that contours to the landscape, echoing the city’s emergence from its history.

Fragmentation is central to the design, illustrating how individuals uniquely remember a shared tragedy. The structure contrasts with its surroundings, reflecting the dissonance of significant events. The site is divided: the past lies below, while the future ascends above, with the museum representing the present moment of reflection. Slanting walls convey uncertainty, mirroring the complexities of conflict, while the bold, jutting form symbolizes the city’s strength and unity. Ultimately, this memorial stands as a testament to how Mumbai came together in adversity, embracing life and moving forward with renewed hope

Site Plan

Design Narrative

- What is a response to the conformity around the site ? To represent the anomaly of the events perhaps the structure needs to contradicts its monotonous surrounding

- The site is perceived as a fabric, where what lies underneath represents the past and what lies above as the future. The structure then becomes conjecture of the present.

- The edifice is formed of slanting walls, which represent that there is no one clear way in times of conflict. It juts out, as an object from its surroundings, representing strength, symbolic to to how these events, albeit tragic, bought the city together to face the adversity, move forward and celebrate life, which continues to blossom.

Roots of Compassion: Karjat’s

Sarvodaya

School

Semester 5

Project Type- Educational Space

The Karjat school design, based on Sarvodaya principles, blends seamlessly with the earth, embodying humility and the natural flow of knowledge. The structures subtly rise and fall from the landscape, symbolizing learning as a grounded and transformative process. As you enter, classrooms, courtyards, and corridors are visible, yet the paths to them are concealed, reflecting the personal and exploratory nature of education.

Classrooms are filled with light, entering in unconventional ways to encourage curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge. The absence of traditional benches and pedestals promotes continuous movement and interaction, breaking hierarchies. Teachers guide students through this journey as equals, fostering a shared, evolving experience. The design itself becomes a metaphor for learning—an ongoing, immersive process shaped by exploration and growth.

Civic Haven: Kharghar City Library

Semester 6

Project Type- Public Space/ Cultural Space

The library design, located near the Kharghar node, emphasizes transparency and accessibility, reflecting its core purpose of fostering public trust and social welfare. By creating a visually open structure, the design invites users in and highlights the library’s role as a central hub for information. The reading space is intentionally separated from the administrative areas, ensuring a clutter-free environment where the act of reading is visually connected to the outside, drawing attention to its importance.

A central circular void featuring a staircase acts as a focal point, symbolizing the node concept—a tribute to Kharghar’s network of connectivity. The circular form enhances the flow within the building, linking various spaces harmoniously. The building’s alignment, with its longer axis along the east-west direction and the shorter one north-south, ensures optimal light and spatial organization, contributing to the overall functionality of the design while integrating seamlessly with the context of the Kharghar node.

RM House

Semester 3

Project Type- Residential

The house designed in Pune is a rectangular, concrete form, embodying rigidity and strength, yet containing a private, introspective essence within. It serves as a sanctuary, where the exterior reflects a solid, unyielding structure, while the interior portrays a stark contrast—cold, isolated, yet purposeful. The design employs exposed concrete to enhance the feeling of detachment from the outside world, creating an environment that is both protective and profound.

Internally, the spaces flow freely without traditional definitions but are delineated by immovable surfaces rising from the ground or walls. This creates distinct areas within the home, while maintaining a seamless, uninterrupted atmosphere. One space, unlike the others, remains concealed, accessible only through a more private zone. Reaching this secluded area requires traversing through every other part of the house, intensifying the sense of isolation and withdrawal from external distractions. The design, while cold and stark, offers a pure and intentional retreat, embodying the idea of personal sanctuary within a rigid, concrete form.

Semester 8

Internship

During my 6-month internship at Apostrophe A+uD in Chandigarh, I gained invaluable hands-on experience across various stages of architectural projects. I was deeply involved in the Jhansi Public Library and Museum project, where my primary responsibilities included preparing permit set drawings and detailed architectural work.

In addition to this, I visited the Morni Hill House site, which was under construction, and was tasked with creating a Bill of Quantities (BOQ). This experience helped me understand the financial and material aspects of architecture, providing insights into cost estimation, material procurement, and resource management. Additionally, I worked on construction set drawings for the Haryana International Centre, where I witnessed the early stages of excavation. This experience broadened my understanding of foundational work and the initial phases of construction. Overall, my internship enhanced my technical skills, gave me a strong understanding of project management, and exposed me to realworld challenges, including site coordination and communication with workers and material vendors.

Permit Drawings + Setting Out Plan

This set of permit drawings was submitted to local authorities prior to the construction of the Jhansi Public Library. A major challenge of the project was the strict requirement to complete construction within 120 days. The permit set included key elements such as FAR calculations, a setting out plan for site marking, and a detailed architectural set featuring plans that indicated column locations and sections. These documents were critical in ensuring the project adhered to regulations and was ready for efficient on-site execution.

Staircase Detail

1. All dimensions are in millimeter

2. Any Discrepancies in the Drawings shall be brought to the Notice of the Architect prior ot execution.

3. Do NOT scale Drawings.

4. Due to Curved Surfaces in plan and section, drawing sections / elevations show structural element dimensions and sizes relative to view-point which may not be perpendicular to angle of surface. Dimensions will vary and must be cross-referenced with structural drawings.

5. Vendors / Contractors to create Shop Drawings for all assemblies and building systems AND submit to Architect for approval

6. Shop Drawings need to be approved by Architect prior to any procurement / installation at site.
