The Aim of the project is to design an innovative Experiential Centre and Wastewater Treatment Plant that will function as a public educational hub, aiming to raise awareness about the responsible use and management of water resources. The central focus of the project will be to demonstrate the process of water reclamation and treatment through architectural design, allowing visitors to directly engage with and experience the various stages of water purification before it is reused. By incorporating interactive and immersive features, the design will not only educate the public on the importance of water conservation but also foster a greater social acceptance of reclaimed water. The facility will serve as a model for sustainable water management, blending education, innovation, and environmental responsibility.

National Institude of Design
Project Type - Institutional
Location - Mysore, Karnataka
Semester - 6
Duration - 12 weeks
The Aim of this semester’s project was to design a campus for the National Institute of Design (NID), with a strong focus on addressing the unique needs and aspirations of the institution. The goal was to deeply understand the spatial dynamics that define an effective educational environment, ensuring that each space is thoughtfully integrated into the overall fabric of the institute. The design sought to create a harmonious and functional campus that supports the diverse activities of the institution, from classrooms to workshops and collaborative spaces. An essential aspect of the project was to promote an open, transparent, and dynamic architectural form, one that encourages creativity, fosters interaction, and enhances the overall student experience.
The site is situated in the southeastern corner of Mysore, Karnataka, near the iconic Chamundi Hills. It enjoys excellent accessibility from both the eastern and western sides, with the western approach connecting directly to the city's ring road, offering easy connectivity to major routes.To the north of the site lies a serene lake, enhancing the natural landscape of the area.
The topography of the site slopes gently from west to east, creating a gradual descent across the terrain. This location is characterized by its proximity to key urban infrastructure, as well as its scenic surroundings, including the hill and the nearby lake, offering a blend of accessibility and natural beauty.
Given the elongated shape of the site, opting for a rectangular form would enhance efficiency and practicality in the design.
1. The Volume is divided into two with a central street which will major access and a park for all the block, and will help in making the campus pedestrian friendly
The structure adopts a stepped form, with the horizontal platforms serving as corridors (treads) and the vertical elements functioning as workshops (risers).

Museum of Modern Arts
Project Type - Museum
Location - Mysore, Karnataka
Semester - 8
Duration - 16 weeks
The Aim of this semester's project was to design an urban green space in Mysore, incorporating a built program that blends with the surrounding environment. Considering Mysore's rich historical heritage, the project focused on addressing the gap in Modern Arts and culture. The central feature was the design of a Modern Art Museum, providing a space to exhibit contemporary artworks and enrich the city's cultural scene. The museum, set within a green urban space, would not only promote creativity and cultural exchange but also help fill the void in the representation of modern art in Mysore.
The site spans approximately 26.2 acres and is strategically located in the heart of the city, bordered by Kalidasa Road to the north and the Mangalore-Mysore Highway to the south. Its central location grants it significant prominence and accessibility. The land is characterized by dense vegetation.
Additionally, the site features a notable topographical variation, with a 20-meter elevation difference between its highest and lowest points. This natural slope presents opportunities for innovative landscape design and sustainable water management within the proposed park.
The design concept initiates from the utilization of two boxes, shaping the foundational elements for the project's form.
The design involves juxtaposing two boxes, deliberately combining the spaces to create a dynamic and interconnected architectural arrangement.
Two boxes are deliberately tilted at an angle, introducing a dynamic design approach that results in the creation of more intricate and engaging spaces.
Incorporating a large curtain wall on the north facade of the building allows for an influx of natural light.
