I am an architect with a passion for innovative design and transformative urban spaces. Throughout my academic journey and professional experience as an Architectural intern, I have gained broad understanding of the field and have come to value the importance of considering the social and cultural context of a space , as well as the technical and formal aspects of design. My portfolio showcases a wide range of projects, from urban studio to institutional studio, reflecting my commitment to creativity and functionality.
I am enthusiastic about contributing to forward-thinking architectural projects that prioritize both aesthetics and the well-being of the community. I am excited to continue learning and growing as a designer.

PROJECT:
URBAN INSERT
SITE LOCATION: AMBAMATA TEMPLE, UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN
NEAREST
WATERBODY: RANGSAGAR
SITE DIMENSIONS: 297m x 420m
SITE AREA: 1,24,740 sq.m.
The studio incorporates the understanding of the Urban insert near the lake edge of Rangsagar. First we made model of the Udaipur site in groups to understand the urban fabric of udaipur, while in udaipur we did on site observations, drawings, documentation and photographs of the existing site.
Defining the design process in a group of 5 we identified the issues and potential, the built open, building type, building typology etc. to get better understanding of the site and context. For urban insert the micro level undertanding is also important. For better understanding case studies of Kashi, riverloop were studied.
The vision for this urban insert is creating a simple yet attractive recreational space along with water front which not only improves the condition of open space around the lake edge but also add more value to this particular lake edge of Rangsagar.

PROJECT: JAIN TEMPLE COMPLEX
SITE LOCATION: RAJGIRI TIRTH, KAJIPURA VILLAGE, KHEDA, GUJARAT
SITE AREA: 14,000 sq.m
The brief given was to select the area of interest and make a poster of that. The area which I selected was Jainism and then came to Jain temple complex. The site selected is in Kheda district, having an existing small temple. To enhance the beauty and area of the area, the site was selected on that basis.
The primary purpose of doing this project is to educate future generations as they have less knowledge of jain culture and misconception of it. The main focus of this project is to create a multi dimensional space to attract more people of all ages, keeping traditions alive and making an identity.
This site is selected as it is directly connected through highway, peace far from city and has adjacent petro station. By developing this complex it also fosters local employment, generates revenue and economic boost.
