A Stop Motion Film

The movie is basically about how the mistakes in designing a building detail can affect a general user.
So we have this badly designed wall section, and using stop motion we tried showing the difficulties he faces.

PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION AT INDIA HABITAT CENTER

A photography exhibition was conducted recently at IHC as part of the event INDIA at 100, organised by SpireTec. The exhibition happened from the 7th April to 14th April 2011. 

Thanks to our senior Monish Kumar who gave the college photography society, SEPIA an opportunity to put up their work during the event. The photographs looked at issues both good and bad that one sees day to day in  Delhi.

View of the Exhibit

Thats me..! with one of my works.
The exhibition gave the society a good platform to put up its work and 13 people contributed for the exhibition.

This is the second chance I've got to put up my work in public and I feel I've made good use of it. Hoping for more opportunities to come up in the future.

IGBC Green Design Competition Entry.

Indian Green Building Council organized their annual Green Design Competition, with the brief asking us to re-design our Design Departments into ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS. This was done as a studio exercise in college and this was our entry for the competition. We won the first prize in this competition and got to attend the Indian Green Building Congress 2010, which was held in Chennai.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Some of the posters and Graphic work I did this Year. Most of them during our annual college fest UTOPIA.
As a beginner I'm just experimenting my Skills.


All the Fest posters were made by me and my friend Navneeth. We kept the graphic simple to explain the event and also wanted to create an illusion at the same time. By arraying some element and providing some perspective and depth gave us the desired result. The fractal form of our college logo was designed by Navneeth. I just love our college logo...!
Software used : Photoshop CS5, Sketch Up

Mostly common places among the public and being an Architecture Student, you will find a lot of buildings.
This part is going to be updated now and then... till the time I'm going to be in Delhi..!

RAJIV CHOWK

A Panorama View of the Place, The Skyline


Also called as Connaught Place, this is the largest financial, commercial and business centers in Delhi. One of the best places to spend your evening shopping or hanging out with friends. Also houses one of the busiest metro station below the park in the middle. If one finds things to be expensive above the ground, then Palika Bazzar, is an underground, air-conditioned market located below the inner circle of Connaught Place, New_Delhi. It hosts several hundred shops selling a diverse range of items; however, the market is dominated by electronic items and clothing. Palika Bazaar attracts many foreign tourists. It is known as a place with a very low level of prices. Bargain as much as you can... & get the lowest prices.

At the end of Winter 





Recently renovated for the Commonwealth Games 2010, this place is getting back to its ruins. People have to take more care before the place returns to its old state. Even though CP looks soo beautiful on the panorama view, the scene is different at the eye level.

Puducherry/ Auroville

PUDUCHERRY

The Coastline

Puducherry (Tamil: புதுச்சேà®°ி PutuccÄ“ri; French: Poudouchéry), formerly known as Pondicherry (and still nicknamed Pondy), is a Union Territory of India. It is a former French colony, consisting of four non-contiguous enclaves, or regions, and named after the largest region, Pondicherry. The territory was officially known as Pondicherry until 2006 when it was renamed Puducherry. Of late, Pondicherry is also considered an educational hub of southern India.Pondicherry consists of four non-contiguous regions: Pondicherry, Karaikal, and Yanam on the Bay of Bengal and Mahé on the Arabian Sea. Pondicherry and Karaikal are by far the larger ones, and are both enclaves of Tamil Nadu. Yanam and Mahé are enclaves of Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, respectively.


Street Edge at the French Quarter



 Pondicherry still retains much evidence of its history as a French colony. The design of the city was based on the French (originally Dutch, the plans of Pondicherry dating from the end of the 17th century (1693–1694) are preserved in the National Archives at The Hague) grid pattern and features neat sectors and perpendicular streets. The entire town is divided into two sections, the French Quarter ('Ville Blanche' or 'White Town') and the Indian Quarter ('Ville Noire' or 'Black Town').There is also French influence in the layout of the city. The numbering of the houses is unique compared to other cities in Tamil Nadu, in that the even numbers are on one side and the odd numbers are on the opposite side of the road.
 The official languages of Pondicherry are Tamil and French.

Lansdowne- Still and Charming

View from Lansdowne

Lansdowne is a cantonment town in Pauri Garhwal district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Originally known as, Kaludanda, after Kalun (Black) and Danda (Hill) in local language, Lansdowne was founded and named after then Viceroy of India, Lord Lansdowne in 1887, and by 1901 it had a population of 3943. Lansdowne was developed by the British for catering for the Recruits Training center of the Garhwal Rifles. Lansdowne was a major place of the activities of freedom fighters from British Garhwal during British period. Nowadays, the famous Garhwal Rifles of the Indian Army has its command office here.

Lansdowne was originally a popular hill station of the British. Attracted by its salubrious climate and natural beauty, they established a cantonment here. The place still has cantonment and proudly preserves its links from the past.

Like other hill stations of Garhwal, the temperature is pleasant here in the summer months and offers visitors with ample opportunities to enjoy the gifts of nature. However, winter months can be severe cold with snowfall throughout and temperature can go below sub-zero levels in these months.
