raahat: center for victims of human trafficking
Architecture is about understanding the emotion and value of the user translated into space
This begins to explain my experience with the various projects both academically and professionally. I have individually worked on projects ranging from healthcare to education and private residential planning to large scale urban planning. Most of my academic projects are based on the concept of creating a tight knit community and understanding the needs of the user on a conceptual level. The concept for all my designs in primarily based on creating spaces for people to get to know one another and engage in various activities resulting in the formation of strong societal bonds .
My interest purely lies in practicing issue-based architecture in terms of the city and its overall development

Testimonials
“ From the first assignment, Ms. Deore demonstrated a thorough understanding of the readings and a good technical capacity to construct analytical maps and drawings around the formal, social and ecological aspects of the site she independently explored, Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. She was eager for specific feedback during every phase of the course, and always revised her assignments based on discussions and criticism in class”
- Brian P. McGrath (Associate Professor, Parsons School of Design)
“During my acquaintance with her, I had ample time to assess her abilities both as a passionate architecture student as well as a professional to be architect. She brightly outdid all the tasks given to her and outperformed the other trainees in my group. Shruti would patiently spend time on cracking the most productive probable solution to the design problem, discuss its nature and then finalize it. The reason she stood out for me was because I could see the drive in her to learn more with each project given to her rather than just completing tasks within the stipulated time frame. Her approach towards her given tasks like in planning of the Golf club, Club House design for various other projects showed her zeal and inclination towards her work. Along with having shown dedication in work, she was a strong orator, and possessed the quality of expressing her viewpoints on every topic in any discussion. She also demonstrated strong team spirit, while working as a team member during special assignments like the Terrace Design task given”
- K. Karthikeyan (Manager-Architecture, FHD Group)
“During my acquaintance with her, she exhibited an academic aptitude beyond her group peers. She often made critical observations in various design interventions that demonstrated her exceptional ability to analyze and rationalize a design. Shruti has a gregarious personality and is very candid in expressing her thoughts in public. Her curiosity about the roots for design with her drive for education is what makes her such an exceptional student.”

About
I am a recent graduate of the Masters Program of Architecture at Parsons School of Design, New York
Architecture for me is a constant learning process of spaces and its relation with the user, the neighborhood and the sentimental value associated. I have always been curious to learn about people’s interests in public spaces. According to me, design process is the evolution of space with time. I believe that recognizing the need is the primary concern of any design and this is what I strive to achieve in all my designs right from the conceptual stage
