A house - the integral part of humans lifestyle and habitation. It is not just a shelter rather it is space which defines the person and their personalities. In cities like Mumbai where the cost of housing appartments touching the sky there’s always an urge for that one extra space ( one extra room ) which allows them to define and render their personalities. The idea of integrating Modular housing became the main key towards the planning of spaces. The planning is done such that the spaces can be arranged - rearranged as per the requirement.

The Classroom unit

The exploded detail is showing the arrangement of a classroom unit. The classrooms are wallless and flexible enough to accommodate more number of students when required. The main idea behind providing a wall less classroom is to create more interaction within Space- User and User - User. These wlalless classrooms can be easily converted to required shape and size. These classrooms are easy to maintain . The pannels used are allowing the easy connection within the user group. The idea behind this project is to create and allow maximum flexibility. The zoning is also done after understanding the users needs. The vertical courtyard is connecting all the classrooms visually. The open amphitheatre allowing maximum inside out interaction , the inward courtyard creating visual access, moving facade movemy making the facade stand out , and the structural system making the building more sustainable .

Stone age | National geographic channel office space

Semester 6 | Interior Design | Design Guide - Ar. Rishit Jain | UNIT93

The project aims to create an office space for the National Geographic channel . The idea behind this concept is to create an illusion of hu mans history and past.As we believe that Life starts with ground and ends in the ground and element ie. A stone is taken. Further by creat ing some pockets which can take humans within are created. These pockets can be used as a seat. In this project each of the furni ture peace is designed carefully so to avoid accidents and damage. The project aims to create an illusion of Stone age time and experience.

Ready ? | Growing Nature of Nature

Semester 4 | Architectural Design | Design Guide - Ar. Richa Raut

We start from the ground and we end with the ground.In between there is life when I say life that means to live it, to have the thrill, to make it challenging, and to make it memorable. Life is nothing without challenges and wonders. If there is hunger then only we can beat it.The concept moves around the sportsman spirit which we are lacking with. Nature always teaches human to move to grow and to learn, using this positivity as the main concept by adding fun and sport activities which ultimately makes one connected to the nature.

Ready? A question to self while looking at nature. As nature always educates us to grow and evolve, this project also attempted to achieve the same by redefining rec reation. A recreation of thrill, a recreation of energy, a recreation of wilderness, and thus recreating life. While simply celebrating the life while learning and relearning, the realm of the practical world teaches the exact opposite. Thus form is developed seizing this inspiration forward. The project also includes an intense study on the pas sive and active effects of built form on the environment. By adding new reasoning of sustainable concrete the undulating form is achieved. Understanding the zero-ener gy approach a bicycle path along the built-up is created which generates electricity and makes it self-sufficient. The structure at the end tried to make an impact by the red tint and trying to radiate positive sportiness as adequately binding with nature.

En-truss-ting | International School at Gurgaon, India | INSDAG 2021

Semester 6 | Competition Entry | Guide - Ar. K.V. Parmeshwar

An international School is a school that promotes international education in an international environment. The En-truss-ting idea behind building an international environment can be seen in the project . Initial understanding led to the development of trails that would connect extreme points on site at multiple levels to establish subtle connections. To facilitate this movement there was a call to create voids along the preliminaries. This led to the creation of a stilt along the preliminaries on the ground floor. Our concept was to redefine the idea of a stilt which led us to incorporate arches as welcoming gesture.Later we subsumed these arches such that they supported the entire structural system of the built in the pattern of trusses.

Langvoyage | Designing a Language hub in Newfoundland , Canada

Semester 4 | Competition Entry | UNI.xyz

The proposal helps experiencing the journey of languages internally as well as externally by playing with the volumes and levels respec tively. The spatial quality is enhanced by adding a visual experience of start and end of pre-existing languages. The volumetric quality of the existing is retained and applied as an external envelope. Further to acquire a better understanding of the language an experien tial journey as an astonishment is created. The design largely focuses on experiences and connects one entirely with the structure. We conclude that the project is taking one through the languages and letting them experience its impact at its time thus “Langvoyage “ Team | Tarika Deshpande , Kartika Pinjarkar , Pooja Tambe , Vaibhavi Khedkar

Bambajam | Music makes you CALM!

Semester 4 | Competition Entry | IDHA Labs

With an honest aim to introduce a rather unknown yet exquisite tradition of bamboo musical instruments from the asian lands of Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines, we are trying to connect the musical chords of everyone in our country. Bambajam is an instru ment that involves bamboo splicing and cutting which creates Melody. Bamboo’s of different radius, thickness, and densities are sliced and arranged in such a way that the sound blends and harmony is achieved. Making of a Bambajam involves splicing a bamboo into 2 sections. These bamboos are of varying radius, thickness and densities which inturn blends with each other to create harmony.

What The Food ? | Game designing

Semester 4 |College project | Guide - Ar. Prerna Thacker, Ar. Harshada Shintre

The aim of designing a game is not just to have fun but encourage the actions which will help save energy, natural resources and ultimately our planet, The basic concept of the game mainly focuses on creating awareness about an environment . The problems discussed in our game occurs on a micro scale of which people are unaware of. Among the four major environmental problems related to Water ,Sand ,Noise and Air one of those is highlighted throughout.Water- one of the things which makes human alive. Imagine there’s no water to water yourself and your family, Do you know : “we eat water”? So the game aims to help the players know and make them aware of WHICH food product contains HOW MUCH amount of water and WHAT could be an alternative food solution if he/she wish to use the food products with less water footprint.

Soft Skills

This section is showing my hobbies and leisure activities which provide me immense happiness, joy, and peace. I like quick sketch ing, drawing on site, Outlining moving people on street, and observing their actions. Along with sketching, I am also analyz ing varied digital art Media including Adobe Illustrator, procreate, and Sketchpad. In Architecture model making plays a signifi cant role to understand the structure. These are a few explorations of model making. Several materials such as Watchmaker sticks, corrugated sheets, papers, and sunboards are used to create these models. I adore making miniature models of spaces and I am always willing to learn more and adapt to new art media and seek uncountable things which will help to define me and shape me for the coming future.
