Community and art have deep relationships Art itself is developed because of internet merging of ideas and identitys of different people’s belonging to different communities. Communities having their own ethics which somehow are evolved to morden ethos but still have some deep roots to the conventional norms. Different community living together have many differences but at some point they still have essance of togetherness.

4 Working Drawing
Topi Mill , Ahmedabad,Gujarat
Sem : VI(Working Drawing)
Year : 2024
Site : Topi Mill ,Ahmedabad ,Gujarat
Working drawings, also known as construction drawings, serve as a common language between architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders in a construction project. They are a comprehensive set of documents that provide detailed, graphical representations of a building’s or structure’s components. The primary purpose of working drawings is to illustrate how a structure should be built, providing a clear and concise guide for construction teams.
They translate the design concept into a construction-ready format, transforming ideas into reality. Additionally, working drawings are necessary for accurate bidding by contractors and for the use of artisans, providing specific and detailed instructions for the practical implementation of a plan, project, or idea. These detailed documents play a critical role in the design and construction process, offering advantages such as clear communication, code compliance, cost estimation, and reduction of errors.
5 Tarang NASA ANDC-2023
Sem : V
Year : 2023
Site : Chharodi Lake, Ahmedabad, Gujarat
The pavilion Tarang, is an architectural project built at the edge of the Chharodi Lake, Ahmedabad,Gujarat as an entry for the 66th ANDC Trophy. The idea behind the design project Tarang is to identify wastes largely generated in our day to day lives and transform them into an intriguing form borrowed from the site.Taking advantage of the site location at the intersection of rural and urban fabric,the pavilion forms an interaction platform for the public from different socio-economic back grounds and age groups.It intends to generate consciousness amongst public for irresponsible waste disposal and a new perception towards its usage especially in architecture and construction. The pavilion, thus, intends to generate consciousness amongst public regarding careless waste dumping at the Chharodi lake, ruining its scenic beauty andnstead, provides an alternate solution for reusing and upcycling the wastes.
Context
The site chosen for building the pavilion is at the south-eastern edge of the lake. As one enters from the stepped pavilion on the highway side of the lake, the chosen site is visible right at the center of the sight. It’s a paved open area, at the entrance of Chharodi Village, used for village activities and social gatherings. There are 2 temples at the site, thus making it an important space for religious rituals and festivities for the village public

Sem : II
Year : 2022
Site : Kee monastery, Kaza, Spiti Valley.
Kaza exemplifies cultural and climate responsive architecture. Based in a cold and dry climate, the Kee Monastery
The monk’s domestic quarters are mud construction with flat roofs with wooden beams and rafters covered by waste wood or wooden planks. This is then layered on top by mud and tin sheets. These are built in very humble volumes, with thick walls for insulation and fenestration having a black painted border for absortion of sunlight and heat.
The main temple is a mud and rubble stone constrution with traditional Tibetan pagoda-style roofs, traditional motifs, colors, and stucco on walls.
These measured drawings detail Kaza Key Monastery’s construction, illustrating how rammed earth walls, wooden roofing, and steel sections endure Spiti Valley’s harsh weather. They serve as monks’ residences, attesting to their functionality in extreme conditions.

Sem : V,Urban planning
Year : 2024
Site : Nuwara Eliya, Srilanka
The field studio mainly focuses on the redevelopment of the town of Nuwara Eliya which is a hill station in Srilanka. This city expects more than 12,000 tourists that are increasing every year. This city was under british colonization, attracting a lot of foreign tourists as well. Hence, it was very essential for the city to retain its identity and preserve its historic importance. The redesign will focus on enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the race course while also reimagining the adjacent areas for recreational and community use. Incorporating green spaces, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and cultural amenities, the project seeks to create a dynamic hub for both residents and visitors. By preserving the heritage and character of Nuwara Eliya while introducing contemporary design elements, the revitalization initiative aims to stimulate economic growth, foster social interaction. and promote a sense of pride and identity within the community.
