"We  often  get  attached  to  some�spaces.  Spaces  that  light  our  souls,  adds  a�piece  of  furniture  to  our  life  and� that,which  creates  an  experience!"

         "  Some  experiences  start�from  a  thread  that  forms  a  cloth,  a  stitch  that  creates  a  product,�a  print  that  takes  a  pattern,  and  a  dye  that  is  dyeing  to  dye!"

RE-­INNOVATING  IDEAS

SPEAKING SPACES

SKETCHING LIGHT AND SHADOWS OF SPACES

RE-DESIGNING FITNESS

The idea was to re-design the existing gym.I incorporated the elements of light  and  color,  in  reference with  the  existing  body  color chakras,  I  have  divided  the  space  with areas  of  workout.  Every  space is  partitioned  with  different color  and  exercises.

WHAT I LEARNTI think learning and re-designing spaces for the people with disability made me more and more aware about spaces around me, I started to think in terms of people with disability at every space i walked in, which most of the people fail to understand. It made me more observant and gave me a new skill to work with.

WHAT I LEARNTLighting is something which has always fascinated me, I learned a lot about different light fixtures, types of lighting, and experimented in tons to make one of my own light fixtures.From how to measure light to how much output light gives, to getting awared about which lamp is more efficient. It was one of the best learnings.
