The document discusses the educational and professional background of an architect. It includes details about various projects they have worked on ranging from undergraduate thesis to internships.

Some of the projects mentioned include Humanizing Prison (undergraduate thesis), SJK Architects (internship), Studio 9, Studio 6, Hands-on workshop and unpacking architecture (models and sketches).

During the Hands-on workshop in Himachal Pradesh, some of the techniques used for construction focused on sustainability and using local materials like mud and stone. Mixed mud was put into moulds to make bricks and the soil was mixed with husk, pine needle and water for construction.

I am a Graduate from IDEA Indus
University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Learning about the conceptu-


al aspect which encircles with
the design process and to ex-
pand philosophically knowl-
edge and discover the abstrac-
tion and reality of architecture.

I want to go beyond the epitome A r y a m a n P. J a i n


of sympathetic knowledge and
explore the limits of the phantasm.

Rehabilitation and reformation of prisoners
and civilizing them through architecture

Undergraduate Thesis

Location
Mankhurd, Maharashtra
Prisons are intriguing institu-
tions in our society. Prisons
have become a dichotomy of
captivating and equivocation.
So as to design for reforma-
tion, the design must begin
by bringing back the essential
human needs of the inmates
The overall design producing
a high level of containment re-
mains and exists because of the
element of punishment through
the loss of private freedoms.

Spaces of solitary and isolation


are the foremost detrimental to
the psychological state of any
patient. To influence a posi-
tive psychological state, spaces
must promote human interac-
tion with the motive of instilling
a sense of community and to-
getherness within the inmates.

Food defines who we are and
where we come from. Historical-
ly, the development of cities has
been inextricably connected to
its production, supply and distri-
bution. But with the migration of
rural communities to urban cities,
the human population has be-
come increasingly removed from
sites of agricultural production
and less aware of how their food
is made.

The diversity of program reflects


the full food chain, as well as a
new foodscape of public spaces
and plazas where producers and
consumers meet.

The Market acts as a catalyst to


activate the surrounding neigh-
borhoods, exemplifying one of
the complex urban relationships
between architecture and food .
Food Markets and Restaurant have the potential to alleviate this
bottleneck of inefficiency by consolidating supplies into shared
facilities for local farmers and locating them strategically within
cities. It defines a new model for how the relationship between
consumer and producer can be defined and addresses uncap-
tured market demand.

hospital
Internship(SJK Architects Mumbai)
2018
Location
Alibaug, Maharashtra
A 117 bedded multi-specialty
hospital is the haven for the peo-
ple of dolvi village, is built over a
phase of 5acre land.

It perfectly fits the context with


large overhangs and sloping roof
battling the intense monsoon
rains and winds, where the out-
side spaces like courtyards and
balconies are extensively used in
this sea-side climate.

The Dolvi Hospital is nestled


amid trees and greenery, shad-
ed by balconies and terraces,
which merges with the surround-
ings creating spaces for people
to recover and heal them phys-
ically and, mentally.*

Location
Alibaug, Maharashtra
Amidst streams flowing down
from the gentle hills of Alibaug,
lies a multi-family weekend home
in an 8 acre lush mango orchard.

The structures or pods treads


very lightly on the grounds seems
like hovering over the surface to
least disturb the existing flora
and fauna; with plantations be-
ing grown carefully to allow the
indigenous species to co-exist.
Each home nestles within the
branches of the trees, enclos-
es a stretched waterbody and
is connected through pathways
and plinths guided by the man-
go orchirds.

The structures or pods are inter-


spersed with semi-open spaces
such as staircases washed with
skylight, and courtyards scatter-
ing the light from between man-
go trees.*

Studio - 6
2018
Location
Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh
The studio focused on the un-
derstanding of the people and
their culture and its vast net-
work of components. Our site
was situated near the Ghats of
Maheshwar where we perceived
about the place and the com-
munity of the people.

The site was in juxtaposition


with the temples and the chowk
which leads towards the Ghats
of river Narmada. The program
was to build an institution for
weavers community creating a
working space and an exhibition
space for their work.

So the idea was to connect the


cluster with the existing nature
and bringing in the cultural hab-
itat of the place by creating lin-
earity in the space and connect-
ing it with the surroundings.

Hands - on Workshop
2017
Location
Dharmalaya, Himachal Pradesh
An architecture that is closer
to the people, the environment
and, the resources of a place
and the one that works with nat-
ural building materials and tech-
niques which are found locally
to the site is eco-friendly and
meaningful to the nature of that
place. These methods of con-
struction are sustainable and
they are more relevant for the
environment.

So to reflect on these ideas, the


purpose here is to map down
the traditional and vernacu-
lar practices for which Himach-
al as a case study is in the ac-
count. The inclination is to study
the Kangra region and find the
ways of making built forms and
to gain hands-on experience in
on-site construction techniques
with mud and stone as princi-
pal materials. The idea of ecof-
riendly construction which is very
rarely seen nowadays is one of
the most significant aspects of
today’s time.
