What drove me towards architecture was the fact that it has the capacity to shape lives and communities. I firmly believe that an architect is one who brings together people and nature.

Considering myself to be a passionate, dedicated, and explorative designer. I would wish to get to the deeper depths of Architecture, as knowledge has no bounds.

My only intent is to give back to the world the goodness of living in a well-designed building that is climate-responsive, sustainable, timeless, and also has the clients satisfied.

BUILDING: MIXED USE

TYPE: ACADEMIC- 9th Semester

THESIS: AGRICULTURE PARK

LOCATION: Ramanagara, India

AREA: 2, 95, 119. 54 sqm (72. 9 acres )

The aim is to provide local farmers with a place to trade, teach, learn and sell their produce directly to the consumers. This is also designed keeping in mind the various needs and activities of the common people too, such as museums and experience centers within the hub.

A park like this can provide the required conditions to create awareness about the importance of agriculture. This in turn can help retrieve the fallen numbers of the agricultural economy of the country. This can also provide employment opportunities to a more extensive section of the country’s population.

The location of the hub can also add to educational tourism.

To restore the present situation with a better living and working environment for the farmers, a hub or park like this can help them learn, create and trade in the same place. This not only helps in the upbringing of the farmers but also will create awareness in people to opt for and invest in the agricultural sector.

This hub also creates a chance for tourism because the museum and research fields exhibit various crop typologies. And people neighboring this park can also be employed with jobs in the functioning of the park or those interested can be benefited from the training center.

The need for this kind of hub is very much relatable in a situation like a pandemic i.e., co-vid. The farming sector might always use a little extra help from the department of research. While also the tourism of the place could be enhanced by the research center and the museums.

Since the trading is part of the hub, the farmers are given a wide variety of chances to sell their crops directly to local consumers. The training center on the other hand trains the farmers to handle new types of machinery, or to use newly introduced techniques or use of pesticides and fertilizers.

The site is located in Bidadi, Ramanagara. Bidadi is a town situated on the Bengaluru – Mysuru expressway and is part of the Ramanagara district. The town is located 32 km from Bengaluru towards Mysore.

CONNECTIVITY: The Ramanagara district is well connected with roads and railways.

a. Roadways: National Highway NH 206 (Connecting Tumkur and Honnavara) and National Highway NH 209 (Connecting Bangalore to Dindigul – Tamil Nadu) run through the district, a total of 93 kms of national highway runs through the district. About 278 km of State Highways run through the district.

b. Railways: It has railway connectivity to Bangalore, Mysore, and other locations with 6 Railway Stations with 44 km of railway line in the District.

c. Airport: The nearest airport is Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru situated at a distance of 70Kms.

ACCESS: Access to the site through NH 275, Mysore road

The farmer’s center was designed keeping in mind the various necessities required by the local farmers around. This building is for multipurpose use for the farmers, for instance, it can be used to organize a meeting between the researchers and the farmers, or it could also be used for short seminars and awareness programs.

The museum was designed to cater to the knowledge of the general public about agriculture, its importance, history, evolution, and so on. This museum offers not only indoor and preserved artifacts or types of equipment of agriculture, but also has outdoor spaces on the ground and the second floors to exhibit certain activities on the field to the visitors. These outdoor farming areas can also be used for specific demonstrations about agriculture.

The Farmers Training Center and Agriculture Research Center are connected to each other through a common space, that is used for various purposes. This was designed to develop an understanding and better communication between the farmers and the researchers at the center.

The training center houses outdoor farms for learning as well as indoor classrooms and lecture halls.

The Research center is not open to the public unlike the training center but is accessible to the farmer’s community placed in the area of design. This center consists of various labs such as soil testing labs, water labs, etc, to cater to the needs of the farmers.

FASHION INSTITUTE

LOCATION: Bengaluru, India

AREA: 36, 421 sqm (9 acres)

In view of the current urban contexts where land is precious and resources are scarce, the aim of the project was to design a fashion institute on a small urban plot, on multiple levels and still engage with its context and establish an environment within that captures the essential nature of an institution. The design challenge was to meet the requirements of the students of the institution, and the surrounding environment and also keep in mind that there was a weavers settlement opposite the institute.

The academic block is designed to meet all the requirements for the students studying at the fashion institute. The central library is placed within the academic block with separate access, a fire exit, and other services. The reason behind having the library within the academic block is that the students could not only utilize the library during class hours but also can access it even after. The block also consists of various labs such as equipment labs, technical labs, and so on. There are studios and exhibit halls which are very important.

URBAN DESIGN: MULTI- MODAL MIXED USE HUB

LOCATION: Hebbal,Bengaluru, India

AREA: 1,16,898. 37 sqm (28.8 Acres)

The main objective of this project was to understand, analyze and infer about the history, terrain, socio-economic factors, transportation, physical infrastructure, etc of the study area in Hebbal.

The Hebbal is located in the North of Bengaluru. It is well known for the serpentine maze of flyovers that network the Outer Ring Road and Airport Road on NH 44. This part of Bengaluru mostly houses commercial and institutional buildings. Some part of Hebbal is also dedicated to residential and other activities.

Bengaluru is the capital of Karnataka state and the fifth largest city in India in terms of population. Bengaluru is the foremost IT hub of the country and is popularly known as the ‘Silicon Valley of India. The Bengaluru Metropolitan Region (BMR) is spread over an area of about 1294 sq km and houses 9.1 million people in the Municipal Corporation area i.e., the core of BDA is spread over an area of 712.54 sq km with a population of 8.4 million as per 2011 census.

With an exponential rate of development in residential, work, and transit density, Hebbal is seeing one of the worst traffic congestions. A new Metro line is being provisioned and being an axis for the North-South & East-West it attracts huge bus traffic as well.

Hebbal lake was developed. It became more prominent and was one of the major trade route connecting various cities to Hampi.

Hebbal was an agricultural land outside of Bengaluru. It was not well established and it had some kaccha roads (mud roads) which were used for commuting.

Agricultural lands started to disappear due to urbanisation.

Railway lines were layed.

Hebbal flyover was constructed.

Well defined roads, flyovers, and National highway making Hebbal one of the busiest junctions of Bengaluru.

• Over a period of time, buildings and other infractures in the area saw the light of development, hence the percentage of open spaces has reduced.

• The remaining open areas do not have proper public amenities and are not well maintained.

• The lack of vegetation within the area has led to a spike in air and noise and pollution. This can be avoided by incorporating and promoting the planting of trees.

• Roadways need to be categorized according to the type of vehicle, which could help with the reduction of traffic.

• R O A D :

• The Karnataka state road transport corporation operates buses connecting to Bangalore from other districts in Karnataka as well as others states.

• The bus depots are the Kempegowda bus terminal, Shanthinagar bus station, and Shivajinagar bus station.

BENGALURU TRANSPORTATION AND CONNECTIVITY:

A I R W A Y S :

• Bengaluru is well connected to other parts of the country and outside of India too. This was possible due to the airlines established here.

R A I L W A Y S :

• This city is a part of the Southwestern railways zone of the Indian railways.

• A rapid transit system called namma metro runs across the city. Which encompasses approximately 42. 3 km of the elevated and underground railway network with around 41 stations.

• Apart from the Esteem Mall located near the junction, there is no commercial complex that caters to the middle and above middle class.

• The presence of minimal eateries, small shops, and Indira canteen indicates the economic group around the space.

BUILDING: HOSPITALITY

TYPE: ACADEMIC

INTERIOR DEISGN: CAFE

LOCATION: Bengaluru, India

AREA: 321.85 sqm

This was a theme-based cafe that was designed for a space at a mall in Bengaluru. The cafe had to be designed keeping in mind the existing factors such as the plumbing lines, water lines, shops in the vicinity, and so on.

I had designed a Japanese-themed cafe which is not only a unique style but also would be a first in the surroundings. Various traditional and modern elements of Japanese architecture were considered while the cafe was being designed. The utmost attention to the materials, texture, and colors used by the Japanese people is also incorporated.

The place is divided into three types of eating areas, one is the conventional dining style, the second is the one that is inspired by a bar-style seating area and the last is the traditional seating style of the Japanese, which is seating on the floor.

Various elements from Japanese culture, lifestyle, arts and crafts, and so on are considered in the various accessories of the cafe. For example, the traditional Japanese tatami mat is used as an element in the partition. The lamps that are seen around the cafe hold traditional importance. The planning is so done by the already existing services of the mall. There is a separate staff and public restrooms within the cafe. The cafe also houses a decent size pantry or store room right next to the kitchen.

VILLA

LOCATION: Kushal Nagar, India

AREA: 445. 93 sqm

This villa is located in Kushal Nagar and was designed according to the climate and regulations of that place. This was designed for a family of six which included an old age couple. The main criteria that mattered while designing this villa were the client’s requirements, usage, and the warm climate with heavy monsoons.

The design elements and the materials used in this house are a blend of modern, classic, and vernacular styles of that particular space. This fusion can also be observed in the planning of the house.

The main attraction of this house is the courtyard. The circulation and placements of various spaces in the house revolve around this courtyard. The spaces in the houses are mindfully segregated with their specific uses and user access. For instance, the terrace garden on the first floor can be accessed without the need to enter the house, which ensures the privacy and security of the owners. Also, the guest room also can be accessed from both indoors and outdoors.
