Hi, I am Debjit Kar, born and brought up in Kolkata, West Bengal - 4th year student pursuing Bachelor of Architecture in Anant National University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I am creative and energetic architect with expertise in conceptual design thinking and fundamental functional work. I have an innovative approach while designing comprehensive blueprints; consistently deliver enhancements to meet client’s specifications. I want to impact and help those around me. My passion and drive for helping others developed early in life. Architecture gives me the ability to do so. I hope to pursue a career in cultural, healthcare, hospitality, retail and workspace design.

01 Museum

Site : Gandhi Ashram

Area : 550 m 2

Location : Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Semester : 03

Year : 2023

The project was set within the historic context of the Gandhi Ashram, where a comprehensive site analysis formed the foundation of the design process. By studying movement patterns, visual connections, and potential site approaches, I strategically oriented the building to respond sensitively to its surroundings — particularly its proximity to the Charles Correa-designed Gandhi Memorial Museum.

The design is structured around a central axis that guides visitors through the space. On one side, I positioned the core program elements: a closed exhibition space and a semi-open exhibition courtyard, offering layered spatial experiences.

02 Working Drawing

Site : Gandhi Ashram

Area : 1250 m 2

Location : Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Semester : 06

Year : 2025

The working drawing set is currently being developed to translate the conceptual design into buildable format. This phase focuses on refining spatial dimensions, structural systems and climate responsive details suited to Ahmedabad’s hot-dry context. Preliminary drawings include plans, sections, and basic construction details, which are being improved multilple times to ensure clarity, feasibility, and alignment with the original design intent. As the drawings evolve, emphasis is placed on thermal comfort, child safety, and material efficiency, forming a strong foundation for execution.

03 Housing

Site : Ambli Gam

Area : 3948 m 2

Location : Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Semester : 04

Year : 2024

As part of a design studio focused on understanding organic settlements, we began by working with stamped templates of houses from Ambli Gam, a village near Ahmedabad. These were randomly arranged on a base sheet, allowing us to observe and analyze the spatial dynamics that emerged. Through this exercise, we uncovered seven critical layers of site analysis - road networks, edge conditions, service zones and affected areas, street hierarchies, open spaces and access points, vegetation, and community nodes such as shops and gathering areas.

Using detailed case studies and multiple explorations, we reimagined the village layout through four successive design interventions, gradually refining the spatial relationships until they began to function cohesively. From this evolved masterplan, I selected a specific portion to redesign at a micro level - introducing a modified housing typology with a balanced 50:50 ratio of built to open space, reinforcing both livability and community interaction.

Plan

Each cluster is G+1. There are 4 houses in each floor. There are 8 apartments in total.

The stiarcase is L shaped and 1.2 m wide. Some potted plants are kept near the staircase for greenery and decoration.

There is 1 park in each cluster for the community to meet and gather.

LEARNING

FROM THE MASTER | Ar. Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi

The project was set on the site of the Centre for Development Education in Ahmedabad. After a thorough site study and development analysis, supported by case studies from institutions like Shreyas Foundation, CEE, and CEPT, we formulated our own educational program — an open, nature-integrated learning environment for students from Class 1 to 10.

Responding to the site’s natural contours, I designed the campus around three central spines that structure movement and activity. Key programmatic elements include classrooms, a multipurpose hall, and an academic block

the spine which connects the classrooms and the spill out spaces (the inside and the outside)

entrance and the connection between admin offices and multupurpose hall

05 Software Skills

June 2024 - June 2025 (ongoing)

I am life-long attached to a community HowtoRhino where I am learning from experienced mentors in various branches of architecture on day-to-day basis. Their guidance and expertise has shaped my skills and knowledge , particularly in areas like sustainable design, parametric design and optimisation using tools like Grasshopper.

Over the past 2.5 years of my architectural journey, I’ve consistently sought to apply digital tools not just as representational mediums, but as instruments for real-world problem solving. Each step has deepened my curiosity and strengthened my commitment to building an optimistic, responsive future as a young designer. The following snapshots reflect this evolving journey — projects where I’ve explored form, light, space, and technology, and continue to learn every day.
