DOCUMENTATION

I am a diligent and ardent architecture graduate who believes in social responsibility and the power of design as a tool for social change. For me, architecture is about functionality more than aesthetics. My work focuses on bridging the gap between nature and human ingenuity.

AGRO-PARK Reimagining the city and its open spaces Mumbai, Maharashtra

Academic | Undergraduate Design Thesis Semester X | 2022 Location| Andheri-West, Mumbai Team | Individual

Far away farms

Bridging the gap

Urban city

The thesis began by considering how food is linked with people, the gap between consumers and producers, and the architect’s role to bridge that gap.

The research focused on the slow food movement, diverse agricultural practices, and the typology of vertical farming systems.

The purpose was to develop a new paradigm that fosters community, improves wellbeing, and boosts economic growth by localizing the food system. Allowing cities to take responsibility for their residents’ food security creates some early opportunities to reunite the producer and consumer.

The design idea is centered on the integration of many activities engaged in farming to provide experiences and a “place” to visit. The program is designed to provide a boost to urban agriculture in an effort to raise awareness as well as provide a space for communities to come together and celebrate.

The site guidelines are used to define the building form.

The built volume is developed with the minimal possible of ground floor area possible in order to optimize ground cover for farming and gardening.

The cluster is further subdivided by the addition of a central circulation zone, resulting in the formation of two green pockets.

The built form is further split up to break the monotony of the built and to provide access.

The height is modified to fit the needs of the users, and the program is segregated into three floors based on the amenities.

PARK AND PLAY

Academic | Urban Design Studio Semester IX | 2021 Location| Vadodara, Gujarat Team | Individual

The primary objective of the urban design studio was to learn about the city’s history, socioeconomic characteristics, physical infrastructure, ecological factors, and activity mapping at different times of day. Finally, future development concepts were developed by overlaying the smart city plan with the development plan.

The research area was chosen to be in the centre heart of Vadodara, between the railway station and the Alakpuri region. The research began as a group project and was followed by numerous individual initiatives for the neighborhood, providing needed facilities such as break squares and leisure spaces.

The main aim for individual proposal was to design a multi level parking along with recreational zone which increases social interaction, appealing to kids, youngsters and adults.

The proposal is intended to have upto four floors, however further floors may be added in the future.

STUDENT HOUSING

Academic | Housing Design Studio Semester VIII | 2020 Location | Vidhyanagar, Gujarat Team| Jumana Parwala My Role | Site Analysis, Conceptual design, Drawings and Graphical representation

The primary objective was to analyze the diverse requirements of architecture studnets and faculty,and then deisgn a residence with shared amenities and green spaces.

The idea was to investigate socio-cultural and architectural factors that influence student satisfaction by offering basic as well as lesuire amenities to student along with faculty members.

The design‘s primary concept was to zone the site in such a way that basic facilities are located at the core, acting as a bridge for undergrads and experimenting with solid and void throughout the structure.

The relationship between solid and void throughout the built in turn creates permeable, extroverted and introverted scenarios.

The voids are strategically located to allow for increased air movement through building mass which promotes natural ventilation through housing unit.

The voids in the design approach acts as collaborative spaces along the common corridors of hostel blocksas an orchestration of multi-use spaces.

There are total 10 student clusters on the site , in which 3 cluster has warden room and office on the ground floor and remaining clusters has laundry rooms.
