This project is explored in a section (Nagdevi) of ward B of Municipal Corporation Greater Mumbai, India. There are number of ways Building densities affect cities health. Aim of this project is to understand road proportion with respect to total consumed Built up (BUP) of an area using GIS and Satellite Imagery. This will help planners understand existing scenarios better for taking correct decisions when it comes to revising FSI for Mumbai.

Chandigarh remains grossly misunderstood and appreciated with entire credit of city planning and development given to Le- Corbusier and his team. In the process, enormous work done by the first team of Architects ( led by Albert Mayer and Ar. Methew Nowiscki ) engaged for the planning and development of Chandigarh, remains unknown, unrecognised, diluted and marginalised. Basic concept of city planning, besides defining the framework for locating the four major components of the city- Capitol, City Centre, University and Industrial areas was all done by the first team including preparing the master plan super-block, city centre, capitol etc. Second plan prepared by Corbusier is primarily and essentially was based on the first master plans because second plan was prepared merely in 96 hours by Le- Corbusier. First plans had its positivity and uniqueness, which would have made Chandigarh a different city from what it is today. It makes a interesting study to compare two master plans to visualise the shape and function of the city had the first master plan was implemented. Looking at the present context, Could you ever think of city beautiful Chandigarh, being a leaf shaped city, with all curved and radial roads, planned as a traditional Indian city with bustling bazaars, without wonderful Sukhna lake, having no sector, without ceremonial Jan Marg, without bustling Madhya Marg and without vibrant shopping streets V4 with Sukhna choe lost in the haze and glory of Capitol complex. This would have been a distinct reality, had the first master plan prepared by Albert Mayer would have been implemented to make the capital city a reality. Historically looking, Chandigarh remains the product and synthesis of two distinct but diametrically different master plans (in thought, approach, intent, content, planning and architecture), prepared for the city by the American and French architects. First plan shows clearly the influence of principles and pattern of American planning with basic residential unit defined by Superblock, whereas Corbu plan has genesis in French approach to city planning based on the ideology of CIAM.
I have recently completed my M.Arch from Architectural Association in Architecture and Urbanism under the guidance of Ar. Patrik Schumachr (Pricipal Architect - Zaha Hadid Architects). I have had 3 years of professional experience working on large scale developments, hospitals , hotels a, scholls and various other institutional buildings and have been responsible for architectural designing ,detailing , facade designing , preparation of construction drawings, interior designing and preparation of construction drawing for the same. During my professional experience , I have learnt to work successfully in an architectural team and collaborate with clients and consultants.Most notably during a competition project wherein I was part of a team of three that won the Agakhan redevelopment project for P.G.Patki architects which includes two residential towers ,a hospital , a school, a religious structure and an ancillary structure for accommodation of doctors and nurses.
This architectural portfolio includes projects that variate both in scale and in scope. This latest version features projects from Italy, Spain and Turkey and there is a great emphasis on an integrated design process.

As you meander through this portfolio, you will notice that
I have worked in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Fine Arts. And that I am currently studying for a Masters in Landscape Architecture degree at Texas A&M University. That my undergraduate degrees in Architecture and past work experience have given me a strong interdisciplinary foundation. However, above all what I hope you would take away is that I am an artist at heart. I am an ardent admirer of nature and a firm believer in “design process.”
At its core my work explores the inherent harmony between human spaces and natural environs, and how they can be an extension of each other. My craft is shaped by influences from nature herself, famous and not-so-famous art and design, extant public spaces both in the East and the West, environmental science, and health systems. And my goal is pretty simple, (or is it?): Let’s make the world a better and brighter place to live in!

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
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.
