keywords: multi- functionality, versatality, 2 planes(vertical and horizontal), trade show exhibit
concept sketch The physical model rough 3D render
Picking a architectural element from sites like Modera and Adalaj- STAIRS and designing a space consisting of just this one element.
My approach was to play with scale and while, the steps be multi-functional, according to varying scales (used for sitting, climbing, leaning on,upside-down etc), the space as a whole will serve one single purpose- a display exhibition stall.

Thematic spaceskeywords: model making, ambience, visitor flow, unfolding of a story, journey and reward, themes
To select a space on campus, study it and then create a space that evokes an opposite feeling.
The chosen space was dark, scary and mysterious- that was turned into a open, happy, yet mysterious one. Use of existing elements of space, reflection, illusions, lighting, and curiosity led to designing an entire journey that ends in an exalted feeling as a reward.
The reflective glass on the left side wall gives a sense of expanded space Use of levels: dispersion of light 3 levels of flooring: water, reflective, non-reflective long tiles: sense of direction

Lighting in an exterior spacekeywords: instant lighting, rasa theory, colour and moods, mood board
the space chosen- Queen’s pavilion at Sarkhej Roza depiction of the krodha rasa- the anger of the queen depiction of the shoka rasa- the sorrow of the queen
The Queen’s pavilion at Sarkhej Roza was chosen and was personified as the queen herself.
The forgotton building was lit up in the various moods of a forgotton queen, taking inspiration from Rasa theory.

2D Visual representationkeywords: projections, graphical representation, ease of understanding
isometric view and human scale plan and area of space represented highlighted graphical representation of the highlighted area
Designing a space using two conflicting themes- hidden and revealed.
The elements used in this space reveal their meaning eventually, thus resulting in a design of a narrative, not just space. I explored more graphical ways of representation of concepts, rather than realistic ones.

A practice of making measured drawings for our projects, is one habit, we are ardently taught to follow.
These drawings not only serve as visualisations, but also as tools to illustrate better understanding about the details of a given space or structure. A basic understanding of using Autocad has enabled me to do that.

3DS Max renderingkeywords: 3d modelling, walkthrough, virtual spaces
simple modelling with reference image modelling a fictional space- here, an art gallery(interior) the art gallery(exterior)
After going through tutorials of 3DS Max of use of basic tools, a series of assignments were given that included their application as well.
The alien ship was a small assignment- explorative in nature, while the art gallery seen above was modelled to the last detail and a walkthrough using the camera function too, was created. The walkthrough can be viewed on

Hands on structure planning and makingkeywords: basic structure concepts, learning by doing, material exposure, working in scale, prototyping
working in the workshop-welding canopy scaled model 1:5 the canopy could assume various shapes and form
During the course of two years as an exhibition student, I have been exposed to various materials and their processes.
Structural theories were applied and an attempt to understand the catenery curve was made by making a life size swing as group exploration.
Also, the canopy made in a smaller group reflected our explorations on different possibilities of making rigid materials look organic.

Design project 1: ethnography and installation at Gulbai Tekrakeywords: reasearch, history, cultural mapping, problem finding, ethnography and empathy
The site I chose to study and work on was Gulbai Tekra a.k.a. Hollywood Basti in Ahmedabad.
The task was to map the history of the place and also investigate, first hand, the cultural ethnography of the place.
The medium I chose was film and I tried to convey my research by putting together how the real estate and commercial circle looks at this area, what the common people think of it and finally the real story along with a hint of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s
negligence and injustice towards this area.

INSTALLATION RESPONSE 1
Design project 1: ethnography and installation
look of the installation between 1st two lamp posts as you travel, you see the homes disappearing the progressive disappearing of homes and only the mirror being seen at the end
My case study brought to light a prevalent issue of a road being built overnight by the government, without proper notice to the residents. Their houses were demolished and people were evicted and given houses someplace away.
My main aim in this project was to bring to light this very reality of injustice and challenge the attitude of the rest of the city towards this place.
Hence, my first idea was to create a feeling of encroachment among the common people so they can empathise. Through my installation, the person travelling, sees himself, along with his vehicle,
in a place where there were homes of people before.

The above is a representation of another idea I had. I saw ‘going deeper in the earth’ as ‘going back in time’.
The lamppost is the ground level. As you go deeper, first you see the concrete dust, then the tar, and further, the rocks.
Next you start seeing the huts, weighed down by the rocks. Further, you see the leaves that represent the forest on which these houses were built.
And finally the red earth.
Huts that also look like beheaded people that are buried The lamppost that looks like a cross on a grave the huts burdened under concrete

Next, I tried to also target people walking on the road, not just those with vehicles.
The idea of a disclaimer struck me and it was made into a satirical one rather than a normal notice, so that it catches more attention, when seen everyday.
My last idea was more striking than subtle. The bulldozer standing in the middle of the road carrying broken houses was used as a visually striking image.
But keeping the sentiments of people living there in mind, this was one of my last ideas I would put forward.
The road with the disclaimer standing there silently the satirical meassage on the notice board the imagery of a bulldozer in a towering position demolishing houses

New years installation for NID community`keywords: unconventional new year resolution sharing, anonymous ‘gifts’, the colour of happiness and warmth
the installation as seen from a distance inside the installation, choosing your balloon and resolution
A group of like minded and enthusiastic friends came together to make an installation for the NID community, to welcome the new year with the spirit of sharing and spreading happiness.
We made a room full of yellow balloons hanging from the ceiling, with tiny envelopes attached to each. Every envelope had a new year resolution written by an anonymous person. The person visiting was to choose his/her baloon, read the resolution and write one in return, to
be read by a third anonymous person, from that envelope.
reading your ‘gifted’ resolution and giving one back in exchange for someone else
Furniture for Kingfisher lounge at Wills lifestyle fashion week 2011keywords: unconventional yet day to day materials, form explorations, low cost
the space provided- at Pragati maidan- the kingfisher lounge exploration and making trials execution on site
The basic idea was to make seating and furniture out of day to day materials, inside the kingfisher lounge.
The idea was to make people perceive ordinary and otherwise waste objects in a different light. Other materials explored were pvc pipes and glass beer bottles. The collection of raw materials and execution was done in Delhi itself.

To create installations that act as teasers for various plays as a part of the Writer’s bloc theatre festival at Prithvi theatre, Mumbai.
After interpreting the play ‘OK tata bye bye’, the main concept of ‘voyeurism’ was explored and an installation was made that was a truck from the exterior, but when peeped inside, had an interior of a prostitute’s room.

Another installation, for the same event was conceptualized based on a play that was a gay couple love story set in Delhi.
We actually picked up a setting in the play that repeated itself- the delhi metro, and made it into an installation. The ‘only for men’ advertisement poster inside the ‘metro compartment’, was a hint that the play was about a gay couple.
