Site Location: Patan
Idea: To revieve the 900 year old patola weaving art of Patan,Gujarat which is now on the verge of extinction in patan city.As Patan is also a city ,very rich in historical monuments like ranki vav etc,getting inspired by such context historic touch is given to the design. The main challenge were the trees present on the site and i tried to incorporate them in my design giving courtyards , without cutting any of the trees.
The Design is developed in such a way that every function has a Seperate undisturbed block to carry out the institute smoothly. Functional designed spaces as per the Process of making and Designing Patolas.
Site Location: Ahmedabad
Idea: To design a Day school where a student can, not only learn bookish knowledge but also have spaces for development of their skills in different fields.
This elementary school design employs biophilic principles to create naturally structured buildings that are clustered like cells. In order to maintain a continuous visual and physical connection to nature, the layout incorporates courtyards, water features, and an abundance of flora throughout the property. Natural light, walking trails, and outdoor learning areas improve students’ wellbeing and promote engagement with the environment, fostering a positive and healthy environment that integrates nature into everyday school life.
Taking inspiration from natural patterns.Different plants cells under microscope are shown in images.Cluster of cells with nucleus in the middle forming asymmetrical balance.Considering one cell as one block and the design is taken forward.
Site is in Ahmedabad which is surrounded by lush greenary which can add on the design following biophilic parameters.Site is located in the central educational zone of ahmedabad. It is surrounded by many valued institutions like Cept University & Gujarat University.Hence designing a school in this site will also invite further education opportunities and can merge with the environment.

Site Location: Gujarat
Idea: This container office design features two shipping containers arranged in a V-shape, enclosing a central landscaped courtyard that serves as a focal point for relaxation and informal meetings. The plan divides the interior into private offices and open workspaces, all oriented to maximize natural light and views of the greenery. The elevation shows the containers elevated on a platform with stone retaining walls and broad steps, seamlessly integrating the structure with the sloped site. The 3D views highlight the strong indoor-outdoor connection, preserved mature trees, and the inviting approach, creating a modern, eco-friendly workspace that blends industrial materials with lush landscaping for a vibrant and collaborative environment.
Site location: Jodhpur
Idea: To design a place that aims to balance visitor interaction, animal welfare, and natural beauty. It has two aviary enclosures (Aviary 1 and 2) with spacious hallways connecting them, each with specialized storage, clinics, and quarantine areas for the wellbeing of the birds. Immersion experiences with butterflies are provided by a central Butterfly House with observation decks, while education and entertainment are facilitated by visitor facilities such as the Arrival Plaza, Reception, and dual Amphitheaters. In order to improve biodiversity and aesthetic appeal, landscaping incorporates rock gardens, gravel beds, exotic plants, and water features (a pond and waterbody). Service entrances, storage spaces, and walkways are examples of functional features that guarantee operational efficiency while striking a balance between practicality and the calm beauty of the company’s design, which places a high value on the welfare of the animals and a positive visitor experience.

RESIDENTIALS AMONGST NATURE (PROPOSAL)
Site Location: Gujarat
Idea: The Woodlands - Residentials Amongst Nature is a carefully designed housing complex that combines contemporary living with the peace and quiet of an actual woodland. In order to ensure accessibility and a close relationship with nature, the concept includes a number of residential clusters that are thoughtfully placed along a hierarchy of broad, tree-lined roadways and punctuated by ample green areas. In addition to prioritizing community engagement through shared parks and pedestrian-friendly walkways, the design incorporates a variety of housing typologies to accommodate varying family sizes. Additionally, sustainable planning integrates planted communal areas across the site and maintains existing trees. This project proposal offers occupants a lively, welcoming, and environmentally conscious living space by perfectly balancing modern architecture with environmental stewardship.
Study and Measure Drawing of Oriental research institute: It was established in Mysore by His Highness Sri. ChamarajaWodeyarBhahadur,the then Maharaja of Mysore, in the year 1891 October. In 1961,the Institute became an integral part of the Mysore University.Its a colonial style of building.
In the journey,we learned three different architecture styles of sikkim:
--Lepcha house,which was the vernacular type of house of lepcha tribe.
--Bhutia house,which was a little modern with more room and colourful decores for bhutia tribes.
monastary,which is the worship place for the buddhist people.
Rumtek monastary is one of the best examples
