Hues of Space, Echoes Of Design

Krishnansu Mohapatra

About

Myself Krishnansu, an architecture student driven by curiosity and a passion for creating meaningful spatial experiences. I believe that design is more than just form and function—it is a language that shapes how people interact with their surroundings. My approach is guided by Abstract, Extract, Express, a process that allows me to uncover deeper narratives within architecture while balancing concept and usability. I enjoy rethinking conventional structures, working with organic forms, fluid circulation, and spaces that evoke curiosity.

Beyond architecture, I have a deep appreciation for photography, capturing moments that tell a story through composition and light. I am always eager to learn new things, constantly pushing myself to expand my understanding—whether it's in design, technology, or the way people engage with spaces. Every design I create is an opportunity to explore, experiment, and refine my creative voice.

Set against the harsh yet poetic landscape of Jaisalmer, The Earthen Arc is a climate-responsive school that emerges from the desert itself. Using rammed earth, passive cooling, and layered spatial sequences, the project redefines learning environments as places of comfort, interaction, and environmental awareness. The arc becomes both a shield and a symbol of continuity.

Inspired by the kinetic grace of an ostrich in motion, The Avian Ballet translates biomechanics into structural form. This conceptual bridge acts as both a passage and a place of pause, turning natural movement into spatial expression. It’s a dance between observation, abstraction, and form-making.

The Fragmented Continuum challenges conventional spatial composition through a fragmented yet cohesive set of planes and levels. By abstracting geometry and layering volumes, the project creates a sequence of interconnected spaces that evolve with movement. It is an exploration in contrast—between solidity and void, enclosure and openness.

The Intent of the studio was to understand volume generation, and how the volume is expressed on a site. The changes that a volume undergoes, the way a volume is perceived  when the human scale is altered, were explored in this exercise.
SITE BNA DIYA
Rooted Resonance explores the delicate balance between cultural memory and modern inhabitation. Designed as a residence integrated with a community center, the project weaves thresholds, courtyards, and shared spaces into a fabric of spatial familiarity. It is an architecture that listens—to the land, the people, and the past.

Departing from rigid classroom models, Echoes of Exploration proposes a fluid, experiential learning environment inspired by curiosity and movement. Circular learning pods emerge organically from a central courtyard, connected by soft pathways and open encounters. The architecture becomes a medium for discovery, interaction, and freedom.
the quiet dwelling
The Quiet Dwelling is a residence designed with equal focus on spatial calm and construction precision. From conceptual massing to intricate working drawings, the project showcases how emotional experience and technical detailing can coexist. It’s a home designed not just to shelter, but to respond, reveal, and belong.

Beyond the final drawings lies a world of raw impressions—moments when ideas begin to form and materials begin to speak. This section captures spontaneous sketches, tactile models, and frames of light that inform the architectural journey. It is the space where thought turns into touch.
An Effort in exploring the technical details by means of physical model. This Model Showcases the structural and construction detail of a typical classroom section, of the institutional design, named: THE EARTHEN ARC. The Model displays a truss system that holds the roof of the project in place. The Walls are made of rammed earth and concrete bands are provided at certain intervals to provide extra stability.
