PORTFOLIO architecture + urban design

Professional Work : Bagmati River Basin Improvement Project, Kathmandu, Nepal- Phase II (November 1, 2017 - January 15, 2018) This work included designing for Phase 2 of the riverfront in Kathmandu, Nepal. The stretch included temple complexes like Gokarna Temple Complex, Uttargaya Temple complex and 2.7 km stretch of the riverfront from Thapathali Bridge to Teku Bridge. The part of the beautification project that I mainly worked on was designing the Ghats (religious stairways), landscaping and structural walls at Gokarna Temple Complex and Uttargaya.

The primary objective of this thesis is to create an urban public space, rather than just a sports arena, where people can observe and appreciate the sports in the country. The goal is to commercialize the sports complex and sports itself. Nepal Sports Committee had proposed to build Sports Arena for the upcoming 18th SAG that is going to be held in the country.

Academic Project: Mixed Used Development Sadiq Nagar, New Delhi (August,2016Dec,2016)-Group of 4 The city of Delhi is slated to be amongst the largest urban agglomerations in the world in the near future.

There is limited land availability and there is a need to protect parcels of land identified as agricultural/rural.

We as a team of 4 designed a mix-use development as a possible solution. I was responsible for designing the office building as well as some parts of the commercial building.

Hand-made model of the Retail/Office block 1:500 scale.

SITE divided for the 3 functions as per program

In response to the low rise context the form steps down as it is approached through the main road, this maintains a human scale

OPEN spaces provided tying functions within the site as well as connecting the road to the greens

Buildings stepped and turned to accomodate various functions and provide and intricate network of smaller scale green spaces and terraces for initmate usage

foR hOuSING: a large park space for retail: a high street shopping arena for OFFICE: atriums

Functions are accomodated with services, and Details figured out to arrive at the final form.

Academic Work: Mixed-Use Development, Bloomfield, Pittsburgh, USA (Aug,2018-Dec,2018) -Team of 2 The project involved interacting with the community of Bloomfield and working with the Bloomfield Development Corporation (BDC). We interviewed the locals, visited retails, organized events, studied the site, extracted patterns, and made a mixeduse development design proposal.

We re-designed the chaotic traffic junction at the site, increased greenery, provided public spaces, and connected discontinuous systems.

Interviews ​ s an engagement strategy, these in-depth conversations A enabled us to gain stakeholders’ perspectives on living in and owning businesses in Bloomfield. It constructed a complete and holistic understanding of the Story of Bloomfield. We then produced graphics that visually communicate these data as well as the conclusions drawn as recommendations for future action.

Bloomfield needs more green spaces. Whatever is built in the site should support the local business.

The neighborhood needs more home owners.

A big business in bloomfield will bring more customers for local business. There is a strong sense of community in the neighborhood.

I could say my store is one of the nodes for the locals.

Bloomfield has its unique characterictics which repeats as patterns throughout the neighborhood. The studio worked together to analyse these patterns to understand the neighborhood.

Re-green: We see this as an opportunity to make a green connection from the Allegheny Cemetery to the south through Bloomfield Park and into the busway valley—in the spirit of an ecological corridor— between the two large green “patches”.

Academic work: International Terminal at Chandigargh airport. (August,2015- Dec,2015) The 350 PAX, 1 and 1/2 leveled international airport will be an asset to Chandigarh and its nearby communities. Till 2015, they had to travel to Delhi for this purpose.

The studio focused on the function-follows-form concept. My form structure’s idea is to capture the transition of energy. At this stage, it is rigid as well as dynamic. I worked with cubes of 20 meters to get the final form. My inspiration came from the capture of the moment when a bird takes flight, where it changes from static to a dynamic form.

Static The potential energy of the static cubic form seen in the begining, makes the form more functional.

Dynamic The form shows the upthrust of the motion during the flight of a bird. This form is a transition from potential energy to kinetic energy.

This shows the dynamism of the form. Here, all the static enertgy has been transformed.

Academic Work: Three River Heritage Trail, Pittsburgh, USA (Jan ,2019-May,2019) (team study, individual design) The team worked on systems analysis in this semester. Our clients were the Friends of the Riverfront. We worked as a team to understand the triple bottom line effects on the three river heritage. Our goal was to understand how we can improve the trail system in ecological, economical and social aspects keeping in mind the industrial history of the place.

The end results was a guidelines for the three river heritage trail.

My contribution: All topics had teams of 2 while I solely was in charge of the overall trail study and GIS mapping of the three topics, thus, having to co-operate with all the three teams.

Manchester is preparing a new neighborhood plan. The neighborhood plan incorporates Chateau. In preparation for future investment in Chateau, the neighborhood has consolidated major goals that will drive its future. Manchester includes Chateau in their plan, understanding that the area is a resource and asset.

We then jumped into a smaller locality called the Chateau. This neighborhood as many in Pittsburgh was an industrial water edge and got separated from the residentail neighborhood because of the construction of highways.

Academic work: More than just care for Kathmandu Riverfronts (August,2019May,2020) The purpose of this thesis is to understand and maneuver a process that guides the sustainability of the community commons in Kathmandu. I am studying the Bagmati riverfront as the infrastructural case study for this thesis. I studied the riverfront beautification project, its context, upcoming projects, stakeholders involved, and people impacted. I tried finding loopholes in the ownership system. I integrated the function of the needed care party which involves the local economy, communication/media, awareness program, and informal activities to upfloat the resource.

Comparing to the existing cases where does BRBIP lie?

Comparing 4 local public spaces, we see that the quality of the public spaces is directly related to the maintenance quality.

We need help cleaning the complex, lets contact RBO to organize the cleaning program.

This area used to be a scrap collecting area.

The place was useful but its good its shifted.

Now this place feels safer.

Since the urban fabric variations are so closeby, the scenario is that the Guthis can easily approach the RBO if they need help in their improvement in the complex. Similarly, Warehouse areas with dead walls need to be relocated as in that case there are no eyes on the street. A rezoning is thus needed in some areas.

B: In that case look up RBO’s website for registering.

There is an app too.

A: This is so nice, I want to be involved in the tree maintenance program, since I pass by everyday anyways.

Competition ULI Hines student competition 2020 : Miamorphosis (Jan,2020): team of 5 MIAMORPHOSIS is an inflection point for Midtown Miami. It recognizes the opportunity and promise of the Wynwood and Edgewater neighborhoods as engines of cultural and economic growth in Miami by emphasizing responsive density and leveraging the advantages of a new train station.

With the addition of a Tri-Rail station, MIAMORPHOSIS is perfectly positioned to enable the community and its people to impact the rest of the city while building upon the existing energy of Wynwood-Edgewater to catalyze the next phase of its transformation.

As the urban designer of the team, I focused on history as well as the existing social aspect of the site. Thus, designing the spaces and drawings with constant discussion from my teammates.

Transportation connection of the site to the rest of the Greater Miami Area.

Linking the site with Miami’s other green spaces positions our design as an ecological central point.

Rezoning from the existing NRD-1 to a RTZ allows for higher densities and more efficient development.
