Museum extension
North wing extension to the Mumbai city Museum, Byculla, Mumbai
Location: Mumbai, Maharashta
Software used: Revit, AutoCad, D5 Render, Photoshop
Semester 10: Design Disertation
The Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum project aims to create a new North wing, adding 10,000 sqm of exhibition space. Initially conceptualized in 2014 with a winning design by Ar. Stephen Holl, the project was halted due to local protests over the Jijamata Udyan. This thesis project strives accommodate the new museum zones and functions, ensuring a harmonious addition to Byculla’s urban fabric.

2 The design features a cuboidal form oriented along the north-south axis, leaving an open area to the north to serve as a plaza for the city.
3 Voids are introduced within the cuboidal forms to preserve views of the heritage structure, creating porous and adaptable spaces around the main structure.
4 “The city as a built form is a set of stable objects, or urban artifacts, in which the relationship between the parts is more significant than the parts themselves.“- Aldo Rossi ’Architecture of the City’ The design proposes seven urban artifacts embedded around the site, embodying Rossi’s conceptual framework.
5 Indexical lines emanating from these urban artifacts are projected onto the site, influencing both the facade and floors of the structure. These lines manifest as openings in the facade and glass flooring, serving as the locus of these spatial relationships.
6 In the plaza located north of the Museum, these indexical lines define the landscaped areas incorporating plants and trees. These unpaved sections of the site, marked by these indexical lines, are left open to the dynamic interventions of local inhabitants over time. This seeks to harmonize the fluid, socially determined space with the traditional formality of the city plaza, fostering an environment that respects both historical continuity and contemporary social practices.

Community school
A primary school and Community Centre at Jambhe, Maharashtra
Location: Jambhe, Maharashta
Software used: Revit, AutoCad, Illustrator, Photoshop
Semester 4: Design Studio
Jambhe, a tribal village of 378 households, is situated 34 kilometers from Vikramgad and lacks access to essential financial, social, and public services such as hospitals and schools. The design for the new primary school, serving grades 1 through 4, starts by addressing the village’s pressing needs. It includes community spaces that not only provide educational facilities but also offer vital services to foster a sense of belonging, and community among the villagers.

The design approach consists in creating homogenous spaces of 3 categories and to allow for a permeable flow between them and the spaces with the village fabric.
Having courtyard spaces (2) -whose spaces act like a melting pot between blocks that-makes the structure maleable in its functional abilities; being able to service a panchayat or rendering itself capable to hosting a vaccination drive, et cetera.

Placement of school with amenity spaces (labs, library, offices) on the Ground and Classrooms on the First floor.
Addition of Congregation space which can shelter the activities of the community (festivals, marriages, panchayats)
Lifting the landscape to access the classrooms thereby giving the community space malleability in its capacity..
Addition of amenities spaces (Counselling, Medical rooms ) in such a way as to be accessed independent of the school.
Elevating the Canteen so as to be accessible to the Academic and the Community spaces.
Thus creating a porous structure without creating boundaries with the village it is meant to serve.

Gandhi Aashram
Gandhi Aashram Shaikshanik Sankul (Education Hub) at Sabarmati, Gujarat
Location: Sabarmati, Gujarat
Contribution: Design and planning studies, CAD plans and sections, Sketchup 3D Study Models.
The Gandhi Ashram Shaikshanik Sankul is an integral part of the larger Mahatma Gandhi Sabarmati Ashram, located near Ahmedabad. This project envisioned the creation of an educational hub near Mahatma Gandhi’s Sabarmati Ashram, encompassing schools, hostels, college buildings, administrative buildings, and workshops.
An 18-meter-wide road bisects the planned area into two plots: the northeastern plot (20,600 sqm) and the southwestern plot (43,049 sqm), totaling 60,883 sqm. The design aligns with the philosophies of M.K. Gandhi and J. Krishnamurti, ensuring that the architectural approach reflects their principles. This project was undertaken as part of my internship at Footprints E.A.R.T.H.
