About Me

My photo
Mumbai, India
It is common conjecture that the people who influence you the most are invariably your parents. In all honesty it was primarily my artistic family background that prompted me to consider and later pursue architecture as my profession. Nevertheless, today I can say with immense pride that architecture is not just a profession. It is more importantly, "a way of life".

The MoMA Experience

The Museum of Modern Art also known as MoMA at New York, is a museum that displays remarkable and inspiring work.. That's what I discovered in June 2009 on a trip to NYC. I walked in thinking it would be a just one of "those" trips to a museum (in short, a trifle monotonous). But I was so wrong!!
It is a completely rewarding and enriching experience that one just cannot overlook when visiting New York City.

Untitled


Cut and fold exercise


This project involved creating spaces by cutting and folding a single sheet of white card paper. 


I used light and darkness with respect to the model created to fully express the potential of the form...

An exploration of form and function.


My design dissertation from November 2008. 
Proposed Residential School on a 50 acre site in the heart of the suburbs of Mumbai.


Even a fleeting mention of a residential school elicits an image of a resplendent landscape, a seemingly Victorian structure, and a tranquil environment.
Yet the idea of a residential school, right in the heart of a bustling city like Mumbai, is not only an ironical idea as the cliche goes, but also a necessity brought out of practicality.


If money is what keeps Mumbai going, practicality is what keeps it breathing; every aspect of the city is need based, every germination is logic induced, and every process is consequent to a need for convenience.
