Sacred Architecture has the ability to help its users transcend physicality. But what is this character of Sacred Architecture that Transcends the sense of Physicality and immerses itself in the realm of the intangible? Spirituality is often not about the divine, it is about perceiving the process of life at its fullest potential. Spirituality is to see something for exactly what it is and not a version envisioned in your mind. Transcendence is the ability to go beyond the range of limits of a field (of act or conceptual sphere). The ability to transcend is to elevate yourself beyond the physicality of this realm. Sacred Architecture allows you to feel this Spirituality and hence allows you to Transcend the physical Realm. The true character of Transcending Architecture is its ability to change your emotion to that of a pleasant one. This mood or emotion you feel is what allows you to imbibe your surroundings, allowing you to perceive what truly exists and hence facilitates the notion of Spirituality and Transcendence. This form of Architecture is the tangible means to see, feel and experience Sacredness and Transcendence. The Spiritual Transcendence of Sacred Architecture

This is to identify spatial configurations to express a social and cultural meaning.

Its continental climate is one of the world’s most extreme: extremely cold winters, hot summers, high winds and mostly blue skies. Almost a third of Mongolians are still nomads who herd sheep, horses, yaks, camels, goats. They live in circular houses known as yurts. Over the years yurts have been able to sustain the harsh climate of Mongolia due to its structural design and materiality. These structures are excellent for these tribes because they keep shifting during winters. The wooden framework makes it convenient to transport , dismantle and reinstall easily. The organization and furnishings of the interior space mirrors the family's roles and spiritual concepts. Herders were excellent astronomers who used the sun's position in the crown of the yurt as a sundial. Even their structures responded to the cardinal directions where the doorways always faced south, also improving passive heat gain throughout the yurt. Thus this structure adapts well to the climatic conditions in Mongolia and makes it an excellent choice for the migratory herders. Mudhif Architecture - Iraq

From the Design to constructibility, a suitable facade was to be designed using curtain Glazing and Dry Cladding as a hybrid system. Along with it a Canopy was to be incorporated as an entrance gesture to the structure. The same building spaces were used to study and design Basic Services, Electrical Layout of the structure and Acoustical Services of the Auditorium. The designed Clubhouse is a G+1 structure with a ACP metal cladded facade in composition with Unitised Curtain Glazing system. Entrance to the structure is a large steel frame glass canopy as a welcome gesture. Spaces are designed taking in consideration the equitable lighting and acoustics required. The learnings of the Structure and Services is applied on the project, whilst researching and innovating newer methods to do the same. Club House for a Residential Complex 5

The proposed design is a commercial tower, proposed to house 80 offices, spanning across 32 floors. Depending on the user and cost, the number of offices on each floor has been planned in the design. 4 levels have been conceptualised, so as to provide various combinations in the floor layout. A special emphasis has been laid on the planning of breakout spaces or terraces, so as to catch the fresh air in a commercial environment, something that is totally absent in the city. They also serve as refuge areas, and have been planned at every 25 metres. The parking provision is done in the basement, where as a 6 m double heighted podium has been provided for drop-off as well as cafeteria facilities. Furthermore, to cater to the interactive needs, several punctures have been created into the solid of the building, which not only reduces the bulkiness and mass of the building, but also serve as breakout spaces of private terraces to the office spaces, as seen in the plan. The skin and the elevation have been designed according to the orientation of the building, thus increasing the sunlight entering.

Narrative: The Design proposal served as an interface between the city of Mumbai and the people of Dharavi. The design evolved in response to the lifestyles of the people. The site has two main entrances, one leading to offices and the other leading to the night school, workshops, studios, and the performance area. A chai tapri and newspaper stall provide a social arena that forms the transition between the two spaces. The scarcity of economic means pushed us to devise strategies for an intelligent use of the available resources. Shipping containers presented themselves as a cost-effective solution to our problem. They are the perfect shape and size to be repurposed as a habitable space. The high density of Dharavi asks for an intensive use of spaces, where multiple functionalities coexist in the same physical space, and where borders between interiors and exteriors are blurred. Households are open to the street, and as a result become part of the highly salient social texture of the community. Keeping this in mind, the incubation cells and coworking spaces were meticulously zoned to incorporate narrow streets and small seating areas that serve as spots that facilitate as well as encourage communication and interaction between the young entrepreneurs. The interconnections made between different offices on the first-floor level create more circulation spaces. Through the second entrance, the exhibition, and the performance area on the right stand as the centre of attraction. The performance area is connected to studios and practice rooms. On the left, through a series of workshop areas (pottery, leather tanning, tailoring, etc) one advances towards the longitudinally spanning school and the library situated on the first floor.

The settlement is ever changing due to human activities and forces of nature of wind, light and precipitation which aid in choosing the apt location of living and growing. This land transformation due to the forces developed two man made habitats in the location-rural & fort which work in coordination according to the requirement and in presence of the desert habitat which has least human intervention is largely independent and is more dynamic in nature due to its entity.
