“It is very essential to enjoy everything one does, let it beacademics or other activities thus I make my work inter-esting so that I enjoy every bit of it, and to learn from the work I do either good or bad makes things more inter-esting to me.Interaction is a crucial part of development process in life,it helps us to make new bonds with people around us.Being proactive in nature has helped me a lot in forming new bonds and in many personal endeavors.I believe that sometimes taking risks in life helps one igure out the future.”

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCEACADEMICS AND COMPETITIONS
Final year Thesis project Re`development of a SettlementInspired by Village Development Principles drafted by Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj,At Dhanoli village,Hingna.
As the city expands it engulfs the surrounding villages rapidly changing the culture,identity,lifestyle and social structure of people.
In order to prevent the villages from getting rapidly transformed into a negative entity, we should identify the villages within the periphery of a city and develop it in a sustainable way.
Gramgeeta written by Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj has been the guiding force in my design. It tells about ideal village planning and its development.
After working with Mr. Shyam Ranvare (renowned follower of Rastrasanth Tukdoji Maharaj) on village redevelopment of village DABHDI and DEORVADI.I learnt, In order to develop a settlement there should be strong social structure.
After the change observed in the social structure the architectural intervention is bound to happen.For example the social structure in the village is already strong,while undergoing the process of preaching of gramgeeta the society was guided towards the path of development of the village as a whole and improving the lifestyle of people.
My aim was to give a design proposal for a rural settlement ensuring continuity and development of their traditional livelihood inspired by the preaching’s of Rashtrasanth Tukdoji Maharaj.
Interpretation of Gramgeeta led to study of village at different layers.These layers were the study of existing site plan,which gave me a thorough under-standing of the site plan.After the study each layer was treated and redesigned on the principles of Gramgeeta.

The built spaces are designed keeping in mind cost eficiency,locally available materials,techniques and labour,energy eficiency,time required to construct a built form.
Bamboo and earth has been used majorly because it is locally available and less in cost.
Cost of 1 module of residence - Rs 60,000/-
A typical residence was studied (shown in image below)to understand the area required to perform different activities by different members of the family.

Fourth Year Urban design Gandhi Sagar Waterfront Development at Nagpur.
Gandhi sagar lake is a landmark of the city which came into existence about 275 years ago . The site is more of a historic and a heritage site so our con-cept was to retain the character of the site and at same time the proposal would also cater the needs of the present context. To start of with the design we went for a case study to the site followed spotting the structures that are to be conserved. Then we jot-ted down the problem in the present context and this help us to set our guidelines for the designing. some of the guidelines are as stated below.Pedestrianization was also an issue on the site .the site was so heavily crowded with the trafic that the vehicles were parked on the footpaths spilling the people on the road. Briely our concept was just to conserve the character of the site and to cater the present problem on the site.
The site is located in the busy central part of the city of nagpur. The site connected to rest of the city through two major roads one connecting the railway station and the other being a major axis connecting the old and the new city. the site is surrounded by old markets of the city.

Analysis Trophy - Handmade School at Rudrapur,Bangladesh
The theme for Analysis Trophy 2010 was “Craftopia!”-The Motto:Preservation and enhancement of craftsmanship is one of the most inevitable aspects of sustaina-bility in architecture.
For the proposed documentation and analysis com-petition, design and craftsmanship are seen as two ends of an architect’s desire to create a larger than life, lasting, timeless or utopian architecture (Craftopia).
Handmade School is a very good example accord-ing to the brief. The school got its name from the fact that it has been handmade by European team of architects, students, and craftsman along with the contribution of local craftsmen, teachers and pupils of the school.
The analysis of Handmade School was carried out according to the parameters decided according to the brief,building elements were related to some or the other kind of craft which were elaborated considering various ways in which it plays its role.
For eg.the wall was constructed in weller technique and it acted as aA STRUCTURAL MEMBER,AN INSULATOR,AN AESTHETICAL ELEMENT.etcSimilarly this process of analysis covered otheraspects.

The residence is within the community of auroville.The community is known as SWAYAM,it is a housing community within auroville which is a project of buildaur.
The residence is a mixture of several materials and techniques which are developed by the ofice.The guna tile roof,iller slab,oxide looring,rammed earth wall techniques are used in construction to provide employment opportunities to the local artisans and people.Also the technique helps the interiors to be cool and is sustainable in nature.
Being a hot and humid climate the need for natural light and ventillation is necessary.Thus the use of perforated wall has helped us achieve cross ventil-lation as well as natural light in enclosed spaces.

His wifeMrs. Charalwar is an Advocate with her ofice being in one part of thehouse. Their Son Adv. Vaibhav is currently working in Mumbai.
The expectations of clients for the interiors were quiet Contemporary yet earthy. We chose to use more of wood and veneers and lighting was done accordingly.The huge storage space for books and iles was the primary focus of the client.The colour and texture of the materials used in looring gives the space a contemporary feel.
Also Additions and Alterations in balconies and Kitchen were required by the client which is succes-fully achieved.

The bedroom feels lavish and spacious because it has been merged with the adjacent room.The col-our and texture of the materials used in looring and doors and windows were selected keeping in mind the earthy nature.The drop down door for the bar cabinet can be used to make and serve drinks.The smoked coloured glass used in the cabinet high-lights the unit in the space.
