Portfolio
My portfolio is a compilation of my ongoing Master of Architecture program, professional work, and undergraduate program. It includes studio projects, supplementary subjects, extracurricular workshops, and my artwork. It ranges from the scale of joinery details to master plans.
As a student and practitioner of architecture, I have and continue to develop a creative and pragmatic problem-solving approach toward design and its response to the built environment. I aim to portray my passion for architecture, urbanism, and art through my work.

Architectural Internship
M/s. Prabhakar B. Bhagwat, Ahmedabad, India
