This project reimagines the ancient Gurukula system of education through contemporary architecture that honors its essence — learning in seamless connection with nature. The scheme is organized around a 9-grid cosmological framework rooted in Vastu Shastra, where each grid position corresponds to a celestial body: Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Brahma, Sun, Earth, Mars, and Venus.

At the center sits a circular teaching core — a form that symbolizes collective knowledge and democratic learning. The ring of built mass around it creates a protected microclimate in the extreme Thar Desert context, deploying wind catchers, solar-panelled space frames, and perforated brick screens to modulate heat and light without mechanical means.

Kala Sankalp is a cultural centre conceived as a living landscape of arts along the Krishna riverfront. Its plan derives from the Kalamkari-inspired star-mandala — an eight-pointed form that radiates outward from a central atrium, establishing a spatial hierarchy from intimate craft studios to open-air amphitheatre.

The terracotta-toned roofscape references the vernacular architecture of Andhra Pradesh while organizing multiple programmes — pottery studios, wood and lacquer workshops, visitor lounges, process galleries, and a multifunctional art studio — into a legible sequence of courtyards and covered walks. Every transition between inside and outside is a deliberate spatial event.

AROHA is a beachside residence developed entirely within a BIM environment for the Rack & Crack competition. Developed as a 24-hour design challenge using Revit computational workflows, the house is oriented to maximize Pacific coastline views. The section responds to the dune topography with split-level living spaces that dissolve the boundary between interior and the coastal landscape.

A comprehensive set of residential working drawings developed in the 5th semester using AutoCAD, illustrating detailed plans, sections, and construction drawings. The work demonstrates an understanding of technical detailing, spatial coordination, and precise drafting.

This section showcases a range of artistic explorations across diverse mediums, reflecting an interest in both traditional and contemporary forms of expression. The work includes studies and compositions developed using various techniques, alongside commissioned portrait works for international clients. It also draws inspiration from traditional Indian art forms such as Tanjavur and Rajasthani painting, integrating their rich visual language, detailing, and craftsmanship into a contemporary context.
