Professional WORK DETAILS

The living office provides various zones and areas.

Its open structures and flexible uses of space

accommodate different types of work. Employees tend to

spend less time at their designated workstations and

more time working in teams, brainstorming and making

decisions. They interact in an infrastructure which

resembles an urban landscape- alternating between

communication and concentration.

Objective-To design Interiors of an office floor using “The Urban Neighborhood as a concept. The interior space

planning, colours, furniture, lights, wall treatments are planned according to the concept.

Requirements-•Workstations

•Meeting rooms

•Manager cabins

•Collaboration zones

•Service rooms

•Cafeteria

•Terrace

•Store rooms

Adaptable: Timeless design is open and

flexible. It deliberately organizes the

functional elements, like structural walls,

and allows for open pockets of spaces

that can be altered and changed over time

as needed.

FACT SHEET

AMADEUS– 2013 & 2014Special design feature/ Element: Amadeus’ approach towards

the look and feel of the office was simple, plain white and

minimal, which is seen in their offices globally. We decided to

spike this up and add color and graphics to represent the young

team of the office. The reception block is entirely white, to

make the space stand out the rest of the space is finished in

black. Around the workstations all columns are covered with

relevant graphics which lend color to the space. The graphics are

images of their existing employees.

Design explore create develop art forms

This studio helped us to get more familiar with the

issues of dwelling.

We were required to design a residence for a specific

person. I designed a residence for Mr.Amitabh Bachhan

in a pol house in the Gangadhiya ni pol, old city of

Ahmedabad. I started with analyzing the character and

understanding his daily schedule, which helped me

shape the design concept and arrive at an appropriate

layout.

I have developed foor plans, sections & elevations to understand the role

of built, semi built & open spaces .This exercise helped us understand

the characteristics of various dwelling spaces.

Studio project-2

Adaptive Reuse of Reis Magos Fort, GoaMany heritage buildings in India are

in a deteriorating condition. This

loss is not only related to their poor

physical condition, but also due to

the absence of life from these

buildings. As a part of our studio,

we took up one such challenge

where we addressed the situation

of Fort Reis Magos, which had

recently undergone conservation a

nd restoration. Though the fort was

restored, it had not been

rejuvenated as a building due to the

lack of life in it. Hence, to add a

permanent state of activity and

use to the building, I introduced the

program of a music school, which

could not only give life to the

building but also offer the timeless

element of music to add onto its

existing heritage.

The Fort was divided into two sections

namely the bastion and the citadel,

each of which housed a masters

program: Masters in Songwriting and

Composition and Masters in

Contemporary Performance.

Although both these programs are

housed in two different sections,

they share common areas, which

lead to a constant and passive state

of flux where students utilize multiple

areas during their course of Education

Floor plan

Section-1

Elevation-1

To address the idea of public realm in the fort, an

amphitheater is introduced in the citadel and an

open-to-all coffee shop is accommodated in the bastion.

The stark disconnect between the two zones is bridged

by the addition of the lighthouse elevator shaft, which

also houses a viewing gallery for the complex.

Studio project-3

Rajmahal School, Jodhpur City

Historic city centers in India are dynamic and

vibrant environments of cultural heritage that go

beyond the built form. This course, offered with

the department of Architecture at University of

Ferrara, Italy, was an effort to bring to the

students an interdisciplinary competence of

analysis, leading to design proposals of how to

negotiate the new within the old, private realm.

In 1788, The Gulab Sagar Lake was constructed

under the rule of Rathore King Vijay Singh.

The Rajmahal Garden Palace was constructed

in the early 19th century as the residence of

his queen. At present and since 1915,

Rajmahal Senior Secondary Girls School has

been functioning in the complex. Lessons are

conducted in the temple complex and girls play

in the area in the break time. The haveli

functions as a school and its library houses a

collection of 25000 books and journals on

history, art and literature.

Visualization & re-presentation

In this course we focused on drawing as a primary

medium of visualization and representation. There were two

parts – one concentrated on technical modes of drawings

while the other on non-technical modes. We explored non-

technical modes of drawings such as free-hand sketching,

collage reliefs, pop-up,etc. to build a visual vocabulary.

The workshop emphasized on

architectural and geometrical origami

and the study of different types of

polyhedra: Platonic or Archimedean

solids like tetrahedrons,

dodecahedrons, octahedrons,

icosahedrons, anti-prisms, di-pyramids

and certain complex carbon atom

structures and bucky balls.

Studio project-5

Geometrical Modular Origami

This workshop course introduced us to basic understanding of forms and

appropriate material for giving shape to that form. Various materials like metal,

wood, fabric, rope, resin, clay were introduced and students developed three-

dimensional forms using the best suitable material for it. The workshop started with

a thought and ended with a three-dimensional form of the thought

THOUGHTS FORMED:

The Cycle narrative : Exploring shapes

Studio project-8

Tribal art : Exploring art forms

This course took us on a journey into traditional arts and crafts of India. It helped

us develop interest and skills in the field of tribal art-craft work of different regions

of India. We gained experience of working with different types of papers, clothes

and several objects such as ceramic pots and plates, lamps, paper-cloth bags,

used as medium for creative expression in the course.

Three different tribal arts from various regions of India were explored:

Warli Painting,Warli region,Maharashtra

Madhubani (or Mithila) painting, Bihar region

Mud and Mirror work, Kutch region, Gujarat
