2. Painting, sketching has always caught my interest since childhood; whether it be an art
competition in school or an everyday time pass hobby at home. From doodling to a detailed
canvas painting helped me expand my imagination, thought process and improve the quality
of my skills at a very early stage. Houses, buildings and structures have also always caught
my attention. Since I was a child, it fascinated me to observe how many different kinds of
houses existed, how buildings of different forms existed. And as I went to high school I
analyzed my interest in architecture and chose that to be my profession.
Architecture as said, “jack of all, master of none”, is a true quote.
Being a passionate, dedicated and hardworking child, everything I learn was always
completed with 100% effort. Participation in group projects helped me realize my leadership
qualities and cooperative nature for team work as well. As followed I have tried to absorb
maximum knowledge(studio based as well as practical) in all the modules necessary for the
study of architecture. The major modules including:
*Architecture design*building construction*architectural drawing*materials, techniques
&processes*fine arts*lighting and acoustics*sanitation services*history*theory and criticism*
Design being the most creative and wide module has always attracted me the most. Its
diversity has always motivated me to push myself far beyond my limits. Creativity, design
requirements along with practical implementation has been my main motive while learning
design. All the designs were completed after an intensive study and process of evolution of
form, spaces, materials, construction processes for every project.

3. But it is not all if one has knowledge about one subject only. Knowledge of construction, drawing, materials,
software's has always helped me to develop my design.
Starting with fine arts, it not only helped me improve my drawing skills but made me a better observer as well;
realizing the importance of the even the tiniest detail. Moreover I also learned what a composition,
abstraction, proportion and scale mean. Also the canvases and many other projects also helped me learn use
of colors, contrast and their individual characteristics.
Materials techniques and processes helped me learn about different materials in detail, their properties and
majorly its practical usage as to how to work with them using different techniques. We learnt about cloth,
wire, paper, mdf, felt, wire mesh and timber board.
Also architectural drawing being the basic learning helped us learn as to how actually represent our work on
paper. We learnt hand drafting with line weights; drawing plans, sections and elevation, axonometric and
isometric views, sciography and also measured drawings.
Building construction made us learn in detail about bricks, timber, rcc and concrete. In bricks we learnt about
all kinds of courses, foundation, arches and for the practical knowledge also made a brick arch on the site(in
group of ten). In timber we learnt in detail about all the joineries and also made them ourselves in workshop
for a practical knowledge and also learnt about windows and doors; also made a double panel glass window
in the workshop. In rcc and concrete we learnt about the foundations, staircase, terrace farming, flooring and
even cladding on elevation.
In softwares I know how to work on autocad, sketchup, photoshop, grasshopper and rhino.
And except this also painted walls, floors, did lighting during many campus development acticties.

STUDY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW
PERPECTIVE
CHARCOAL
The main aim of the subject was to learn the basic concepts Of art i.e.
the study of light and shadow, perspective drawings, shading,
sketching, role of light.
We also learnt the use of different mediums like charcoal.
Another thing we did was the use of different colors to change the
character of a drawing.

5. ABSTRACT COLLARGES

6. CANVASES PAINTED
Creativity and skills were the only
objectives while doing projects like
these. We had the freedom to explore
and express anything and everything
we wanted. Understanding the depth of
colors, proportions, scale, combination
were also tried to achieve in the
process.

8. SCIOGRAPHY
The study of light and
shadow is called
sciography. We learnt
it by hand drafting as
well as sketching.
The concepts learned
were for different forms
and different light
sources.

We studied the detail construction of timber
mezzanine in a factory.
It was an area of about 250sq.m(total
factory area)and a timber mezzanine was
supposed to be designed for the same.

15. FOLDABLE ORIGAMI CHAIR
Derived from the concept of origami this chair
Was designed and made to understand the
different Materials , their techniques and
processes.
This chair following the principle of origami
also represents modernism.
We explored the usage of mdf(medium
density fiberboard) and felt together.
It was made in a group of two(including me)
with mdf board using hinges to create the
basic structure and later on covered with felt.
The chair is folded to its form from a flat sheet
and stuck with a Velcro tape to join the two
different ends.

16. STUDY TRIP TO SHEKHAWATI

17. ABSTRACT EXPERIMENT OF FORM , SHAPES AND
CHARACTER.

18. Book cells with
partitions
My personal den is inspired
by
HONEY COMB
Using principle of geometry
and repetition, I designed
my form using hexagons.
The design also follows the
principles of
ANTHROPOMETRY.
The aim of the project was
to design a
anthropometrically
functional den creatively
designed
for a human.
The seating was also
designed using the same
principles.
Two tables along with a table
in the middle.

19. DETAIL STUDY OF ZAHA HADID,S WORK
D-VILLA(2008)
Max build height:32 feet)
D-villa merges landscape and
architecture to create elegant,
public and semi-public places
which appears to grow from
ground and float above it.
KUSNACHT VILLA(2006)
Its internal and external spaces organically
integrated; folding of floors into walls into
ceiling- seamless flow from inside out.
Detail study with hand
drafted plans, sections and
elevations along with their
analyses, materials used,
design concept was done by
me as Zaha Hadid being an
ideal architect.

MEMORIAL DESIGN
This is a memorial designed for
very reputed cricketer, Mr.Sachin
Tendulkar. This form was evolved
so as to represent characteristics
of his personality and his journey
as a cricketer through
ABSTRACTION.
The l-shaped blocks randomly arranged together showing
confusion, represents the journey of the cricketer; the problems
he has faced in becoming what he achieved. The different sizes
of the blocks representing his success story of where he started
from and now followed by the entire country as a king.
The main aim of the project was to learn to transfer a character to
a form along with abstraction

21. RESIDENCE DESIGN
This project was assigned to REDESIGN
our own house according to the
problems faced by us everyday.
I redesigned my own room. I tried to
resolve issues like the heat rays entering the room and
heating it up because of the east facing direction of the room
and also utilizing the the entire room area(100 sq.m) by
dividing the room into two different spaces using a partition
wall; hence separating the semi-private(siting) and the private
(sleeping) spaces into two different parts.
It was done through a long processes of
the analysis, case studies of famous
architect’s , listing of the design
requirements and hence evolving the
redesigning schemes.

22. FISH MARKET DESIGN
Using the concept of SENSORIAL DESIGNING, this
project was assigned to design a fish market.
The main aim of the project was to understand the
concept of sensorial architecture; where the space
is designed keeping I mind all the human senses
including smell, taste, visual, touch and sound.
It was designed on a site in Gurgaon having a
triangular shape where one of the vertices being a
major node. Hence the site also helped us lean to
designing on such an irregular shaped space.

23. REVIVAL OF MANDVI
THE IDEA OF REVIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE ON 3 LEVELS:
AT CITY LEVEL: The Economic Development Of The City By
Introducing A Better Networking System (i.e. Railway station)
REVIVAL OF RIVER-CITY RELATIONSHIP: the river in Mandvi
played a major role in the past. Recreating a river edge
relationship would lead to a start to the revival of the river with the
city.
REVIVAL OF MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS: a building which
does not stand out but merges into the city fabric. The use of
existing materials and system in a new way of design. The
buildings will be designed sustaining the character of Mandvi and
character of their individual functions but with huge volumes
containing smaller volumes inside it, giving even a closed space
the character of an open space.

24. MANDVI SITE MODEL (1:4000)
In a group of five people we made this site model of the city of Mandvi at scale of 1:4000.

25. STUDY OF MATERIALS AND ELEVATION ANALYSIS
We detail studied the sections of various buildings made up
of different materials And made with different techniques to
study their application, function, sizes, form, their source
material to understand the properties of them separately
and understanding the purpose of individual materials as
their individual function with the help of these MATERIAL
MATRICES.
And in the next exercise we tried to GROW THE
ELEVATION of an older building vertically and horizontally
without changing the character it carries.
