Typology- Housing Semester- 4 Site - Nehru Nagar
This project emphasizes a spatially efficient housing typology that fosters communal living through interconnected spaces, inspired by the organic growth of tree branches. Organized into clusters of 12 units, every three dwellings share a semi-private threshold (Otla), enhancing interaction while maintaining privacy. Strategically placed communal washing areas (Chowkdi) at alternate levels promote shared functionality. A bridging element serves as a dynamic common space, reinforcing vertical and horizontal connectivity, creating a balance between private and collective living within a compact footprint.

Typology - Institution Semester -5 Site - Thaltej
Aligned with the terrain of Thaltej Theela, the school is conceived as a network of programmatic clusters—academic, administrative, and recreationaln strategically fragmented to follow site gradients. These volumes are interlinked by serpentine circulation spines that generate spatial pauses, framed vistas, and varied experiential sequences.
Interstitial decks between classrooms operate as adaptive spillout spaces, periodically reprogrammed as open-air learning zones. Integrated courtyards within each cluster function as passive climate moderators and spatial buffers, supporting both movement and congregation.

Itis envisionedasamixed-useinstitutionalfacilitythatbringstogether administration, learning, research, and community engagement under one cohesive architectural system. The program interlinks administrative offices with adaptable studio spaces designed to accommodate evolving academic needs, while a café anchors the complex as a shared informal hub that encourages dialogue, collaboration,andinteractionbeyondstructuredworkenvironments.
The design process involved extensive exploration through schematic sectional studies that examined how natural light enters and animates interior volumes, the spatial hierarchy between public and semi-private zones, and the articulation of structural elements. Parallel to this, a conceptual physical model was developed as a tool to refine massing, evaluate circulation loops, and assess the project’s relationship to its urban context, edges, and approach sequence. Through the iterative development of both drawings and physical representation, the project strengthened capabilities in conceptual thinking, spatial planning, and visual communication—translating abstract ideas into clear architectural intent supported by technical reasoning and presentation clarity.

This research project focuses on developing campus design guidelines with a strong emphasis on mobility, movement, and spatial efficiency. The study explores street hierarchy within a campus setting, analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary circulation to establish clear movement patterns for pedestrians, cyclists, and service routes. Alongside mobility, it proposes corridor and pathway strategies to enhance connectivity, safety, and comfort across the site. The research also includes a detailed assessment of street furniture—such as seating, signages, lighting, and resting points—with implementation possibilities that strengthen user experience and campus identity. Through diagrams, mapping, and visual clarity, the project aims to establish a structured framework for designing functional and user-centric campus environments.
This research examines mobility corridors as the core framework for smooth campus movement. It evaluates pedestrian paths integrated with bicycle tracks to support sustainable travel, along with ramps and universal access routes for barrier-free circulation. Strategically placed EV-shuttle drop-off zones are assessed for efficient campus entry. The study also considers controlled vehicular flow to reduce conflicts among pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. Together, these components create a safe, inclusive and easily navigable campus mobility network.
This research explores Third Spaces as the informal social layer of campus life, connecting academic, residential and recreational areas. It emphasizes their role in supporting daily interaction, relaxation and cultural exchange beyond formal learning. The study identifies key typologies: pause points for rest and spontaneous conversation; plazas and courts for gatherings and student activities; and promenades that link these areas with walkable, landscaped edges. Together, they form a cohesive public realm that promotes comfort, inclusivity, accessibility and campus identity.
