I’m a fourth-year architecture student at the School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal, driven by the belief that design tells a story. I believe every building and space holds a narrative about the lives it shapes. This fuels my dedication to uncovering these stories through keen observation and translating them into impactful designs.
Growing up in Delhi exposed me to a vibrant tapestry of cultures. This experience has honed my ability to approach research and design with a multifaceted lens. It allows me to consider diverse viewpoints, leading to more comprehensive and inclusive design solutions.
I look forward to become a part of your team . Thank you for consideration!

Floating Encounters
Competition-Open source Biennale | Non-a | Individual
Objective - To propose unconventional ideas that disrupt the status quo of the Venice Biennale 2025.
Location- Venice, Italy
Category- Temporary, Exhibition Architecture
The design rethinks the Venice Biennale where the art become restricted in the hands of few. Thus the floating pavilions enable art to break free , Thus the pavilions provide a dynamic medium for the local people to display their art. Thus transforming the city into a living breathing art gallery.
Softwares Used- Autocad, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper

Pitched for Venice Biennalle 2025
The pavilions are docked at various points across the venice canal, this gives people the oppurtunity to come and place their art in the pavilion specific for their art form. These pavilions are categorized into various disciplines of art. The facade is then carefully assembled after a certain time period and finally the pavilion is set to float.
As these pavilions may sometimes come closed and dock together in various unique combinations
This will give rise to unique conversations as people interested in different forms of art come close and start a conversation unique to itself
Space
These pavilions are simply divided into two spaces exhibition space and underwater discussion space
Conversation Space
Art Architecture Cinema Dance Music
The Kinetic facade is an assembly of louvers specifically designed so that they are continously forming a sense of mystery by hiding and revealing. These gives the pavilion sort of a breathing movement.
Thus ‘floating encounters’ is an open invitation to change. Architecture therfore becomes a vessel for a creative breakthrough that will ultimately change the nature of the beinnale forever. Where exhibitions break free of rigidity and travel across the canal and people come out of their balconies to witness a profound and diverse beinnale that feels personal and truly accesible. Thus venice becomes more than a backdrop to the beinnale but every Venentian becomes the main character of this revolutionary tale.

CULTURAL PLAYDATES
Competition-Uttam Architect Award | Group of 5
Objective- To Design a Sustainable Social Hub and Fair at Nauchandi Ground
Location- Uttar Pradesh, India
Category- Public building
Nauchandi ‘Mela’ is an age old traditional fair in Meerut, India. These eventful cultural gathering is iconic and often forms an important identity for the city . Thus it was an urgent requirement to create an equally iconic public space for this fair . Thus the design aims to curate various elements of a classic an Indian fair into a deeply contexual work of architecture.
Softwares Used- Autocad, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
Water feautures in collaboration with the organic sculpting of site create a strong focus point in the entire complex. Combining these elements with the strong activity of mela we achieve a highly social space.
VIEW OF THE SHILPHAATS
The contexual design takes deep inspiration from the classic traditional indian ‘ Chowks’ or juntion points in local indian markets. These are an inherent part of Indian urban design and are cultural and social hubs of activity.
Thus three circular sunken courtyard renact the dramatic social lives of residents of urban India. These create an intrigue and further engages with the visitor.
Different elements like tensile fabric canopies, groin vaults and barrel vaults come together to create a ‘bazaar’ or a retail space. Furthermore the rides and classic aspects of a faIr take the centre.
The sunken courtyards house the local art exhibitions. All these elements work in sync with a lush green landscape and water features to create an iconic public space thatbecomes a part of Meerut’s identity.

The aim is to propose metabolic modular campus which aims to facilitate growth, change, and innovation,essential for keeping pace with the evolving field. the ecobrutalist landscape will bring the outdoors into the learning experience, engaging students and fostering a deeper connection to the natural world.
Softwares Used- Autocad, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
The first volume serves as a unique foundational introduction to the discipline for design students. These students will continue to be integral to the transformative process of shaping reality. The very spaces in which they learn should be the very inspiring environments that foster creativity and expand possibilities.
As a dynamic field constantly evolving with new branches and transformative workflows, design requires spaces that can adapt to change. These adaptable spaces should not only be able to accommodate current practices but also should anticipate future trends, fostering innovation and experimentation in design.
Drawing inspiration from metabolic principles, the modular campus design enables flexible growth and adaptation through the use of prefabricated modules.
The campus incorporates natural elements to create a serene environment, providing open space and a beautiful backdrop for architectural studios.
Interconnected underways, formed by corridors and lecture halls, offer convenient access and versatile exhibition spaces, fostering a dynamic and engaging campus experience .

Competition-Maternity Centre | Kaira Looro| Group of 5
Objective - To Design a low cost modern vernacular maternity centre for underpriviledged rural women
Location- Senegal , West Africa
Category- Healthcare
The design is a vernacular approach to designing modern day maternity centres. It aims to create a hygeinic , sterilised positive space for underpriveledged mothers without using expensive construction mechanisms or mechanical HVAC systems.
Softwares Used- Autocad, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Revit
INTITAL IDEATION
The maternity centre works on a simple primciple of air segration. In urban healthcare spaces air changes happen courtesy complex HVAC systems. However in a completly passive cooled space like this , a design intervention is required. Thus chimney were designed and minfully placed in combination with buffer zones.
Further local clay is used to create specifically designed terra-cota modules which further join to form a fenesrated walls which enable ventilation in waiting areas
Additionally the northlights created in roof fills the entire centre with diffused north light thus creating an ambient resting as well as working space.
Rainwater is stored in a pond created on site which adds a sense of calm in open spaces and provides a primary level of cooling. Secondly this water is passed through the terra-cota modules through an elaborate system of pipes. These further adds to evaporative cooling of the maternity centre. The flow of water produces a sweet smell of wet mud as well as a calming sound which makes the patient feel peaceful.

The terracotta walls serve as a unique feature, allowing natural light to illuminate all the common spaces. The flowing water within these modules provides a refreshing coolness and a sense of tranquility. This design empowers the local artisans to become involved in this prestigious project, contributing a highly contextual element to the center.
SOMETHING THAT FITS IN
The maternity centre merges with the Senegal landscapes. Thus it feels like people have known the place for a while. This removes any resistance that might be present in the hearts of people towards it. Thus all mothers can access this maternity centre .
