Floating Theater
^{Raipur, CG (IND)}

Spring 2020

"Redefining Cinematic Experience by Designing a Floating Theater" was my undergraduate thesis project, inspired by my interest in floating architecture explored in a previous dissertation. The Floating Theater harmonizes with water and operates independently of land resources. It offers an immersive, sustainable cinematic experience, highlighting the potential of floating architecture. This project merges creativity with environmental consciousness, reimagining how we engage with movies and the water ecosystem.

New Orleans Public Space Project

Urban Hostel
^{New Orleans, LA}

Spring 2023

The Integrated Studio Project in designing an Urban Hostel in New Orleans represents a comprehensive exploration of architecture, addressing site relationships, historic context, structural considerations, systems integration, materiality, and building codes.

Emphasizing “integration” per NAAB standards, the studio fosters a dynamic interplay among intent, form, system, material, and technology. This approach ensures a nuanced and adaptive design process. By weaving together New Orleans' contextual nuances, architectural principles, and regulatory requirements, the project exemplifies a holistic, forward-thinking endeavor, preparing students for real-world design challenges.
