Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

5. I am a Passionate Designer Entrepreneur graduated with
‘M.Arch in Architecture’ the Innovation Enterprise Award from the
Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL which sponsored Clique Living.
My enthusiasm lies in creative experimentation learning with a strong
passion for designing spaces that are contextually appropriate while
looking High End. I enjoy rich use of Materiality, particularly Marble
Wood.They add a different dimension to spaces aesthetically
structurally.
With an immense interest in Technology design, I delve in exploring
the intersection of the two and their influence of on society, lifestyles and
built environments.
My background in Architecture, my Work Experience + Independant
Interior Design / Interior Architecture Projects enriched my All-Round
ability to realise my designs from concept through to Construction. It
enhanced my collaborative qualities my skills in leadership to take
charge of any situation work throws at me. I, therefore enjoy consulting
clients, vendors, contractors and moreover colleagues for design
solutions while being a keen team player.
I strongly believe I would be a valuable addition to your team.

of design and execution for this apartment handover.
It has been a journey to design from london and
coordinate and execute with contractors in Mumbai. We
have overcome many challenges in delays and costing
as well as contractor issues but have come out strong

I worked on the conceptualization aspect of the planning
proposal for WA Awards. I took on the role of modelling
the building digitally, as well as creating the plans and
sections for the design development set.
I wanted to keep the design parameters and brief in mind
while incorporating culture and modern design strategies
to this project. I was able to contribute to a number of
design decisions for this competition entry in terms of
programme, environmental effects onto the spatial plan-
ning and circulation.

23. MADC International Terminal, Nagpur Airport, India
Option 1 with Feature Roof Element
I produced various options for the Form of the Airport. The clients
wanted a Fluidic form for which I workd in Rhino, using Panelling
Tools extensively and Rendering it in Cinema 4D after which I
added the contextual details using Photoshop.
The biggest concern in Nagpur was the Area usage, square
footage and the Position and Height of the Terminal, ATC and the
Hangars in relation to the context and to each other. We overcame
this problem by transforming the plan to incorporate many felxible
plan spaces and modified circulation to allow for the requested
formal styles.
I then produced Presentation Boards to present to the clients and
Vendors to negotiate what structural solutions will be feasible.

I planned and modeled this option for proposal,
using clean lines and clear profiles. I created
the presentation boards to fit the company’s
style while maintinaing the clear and appealing
look for the Clients.
The initial proposals were quite curvilinear and
I was asked to detail this option differently, I
reorganised the circulation and planning to fit
the internal daylighting programmes in congru-
ence with the new forms too.
I undertook the Structural and MEP coordina-
tion for this clubhouse with the consultants and

ing within the budget.

I planned and modeled these options as per
clients requirements to stick to municipal
requirements and give a sophisticated look
to the facade which is aimed at a certain au-
dience of potential buyers. We incorporated
the client requirements and cost restraints to
produce a high rise option with frame walls
and punctures while angling the chajjas to
give optical variation and another option by
manipulating, alternating and framing the
views into and out of the building.
After finalisation of Option 1, I started the

tural engineers started producing working

and a little bit of Grasshopper.
I also photoshopped the plans
and presentation boards to fit the

ing theclear and appealing look
for the competition.
The initial proposals were quite
rectangular and I was asked
to do something different, so
by breaking the pattern, yet
keeping it simple and buildable,
I designed a parametric alloy
Skin with availability for ample
natural light. I reorganised the
circulation and planning to fit the
internal daylighting programmes
in congruence with the new
forms too.

Agoro Bazaar, Ghana, Africa | Final Year Project
(D I S ) P L A Y - Using the power of play to bring back ancient forms of education to Contemporary Ghana.
My project focuses on the Power of Play (especially Folk Play) and the issue of its current dilution in value, through Play Display - (D I S) P L
A Y. It is a Women - Led initiative to bring ghanaian folklore back to life via Ancient Asante Games [Key Programme]. The project aims to Protect
the main cultural and crafts hub of Accra- The Centre for National Culture (Arts and Crafts Market) [Selected Site] and its 3000 Artisans who are
likely to get dislocated due to David Adjaye Architects’ new masterplan for the ‘Marine Drive’ Project. The waterfront of Accra will fight to keep its
Artisanal and Cultural Hub alive through the Women - Led (Folk Play) Agoro Arena.
I aim to reinterpret contemporary typologies such as gaming arenas, theatres, educational lecture rooms, markets and cultural archives to
question whether we can preserve and disseminate knowledge through Ancient Folklore / Stories, Symbols and Games. This new building
subtly emphasises the key role an architect plays in facilitating one’s interaction with their cultural heritage and identity... in this case, through
the Power of Play.

Structural Axonometric + Views from surroundings
Inspired by the Ghanaian Elements - monumentality of the bold curve, crafts archi-typology, the
articulation of form keeping in mind the needs of women and children through Datum Shifts and the
form meeting the landscape. The spaces with most activity are raised on a plinth to create a threshold
between the market, the road and the building. The programme is designed in relation to use, time of day
circulation, connection to the Crafts Market. Therefore buffer spaces soft boundaries create different
accesses and safety enclosures for the building.
Exploded Axonometric
31. The site has multiple undulations of landscape and I am using its datum shifts the widespread use of Canopy
Structures (in Ghana) to express hierarchies of enclosure in relation to the ground. This project will build on the
concept of ‘Porous Aggregation’ and geometric multimaterial articulation that facilitates it.
I am designing a ‘bazaar-like’ Arena of Play and Display (an extension to the existing market) that will encourage
participatory learning. I wish to achieve the above by creating physical inclusion through roofscapes (a semi-
enclosed building) and a series of enclosures creating hierarchy.

Centre for Hydrological Hardscapes, Varanasi, India
Detailed Proposal
Varanasi is the land where ritual and culture are embedded in the zeitgeist, but it is the Architecture that supports and enables this phenomenon
within the city, primarily Ghats and Kunds.
I am interested in the conflicting relationship between the Use and the resulting Pollution that occurs in such public spaces in Varanasi - how
people destroy the very thing they worship - Water from the Ganges, ‘Gangajal’ (found on the banks of the Ghats and Kunds). My main aim is to
revitalise the existing typology of a Kund to become a symbol for the protection of ancient water bodies in the oldest inhabited city in the world.

The Centre for Acoustic

aims to aid patients with Mental Illnesses at
NHS and Researchers at Manchester Science
Park to help the advancement of Sound
Therapy, while public from the University
area, Hulme, Moss Side, etc... can use the
building to Experience and help experiment
with Sound and indirectly become part of the
research and observation.
Research has proven that Sound Music Directly
affect different parts of the brain and can very well
be used as Therapy. Therefore it started with the
idea of:
WHY DO PEOPLE SING IN THE
SHOWER?
Because they can feel the sound Resonate and
Reverberate, they can feel it on their skin. I wanted
to replicate this effect by using various Geometries
and Materiality.
