"Arya" means noble or honorable in Sanskrit and is often used in Hindu mythology to describe those who uphold righteousness and virtue. This name could evoke the idea of a metaverse company that values ethics and morality. "Kriti" means creation or composition in Sanskrit and is often used to refer to works of art or literature. This name could evoke the idea of a metaverse company focused on creating immersive and creative virtual worlds. Together, "Arya Kriti " could suggest a company that values noble principles and is dedicated to creating innovative and artistic virtual experiences.

I was particularly fascinated by the concept of daydreaming and its execution within the workplace. As depicted in the image, the different backgrounds represent the various dimensions that the mind flows through while working. multiple people engaged in different activities symbolizing the random thoughts that occur in the mind. And at last focus is on a person who is actively working. During our visit to Ravivari, we were tasked with finding a different object of our choice. I chose the crusher, and was drawn to its materiality, rustic and vintage nature,object is symmetrical, but the handle breaks the symmetry, and the use of color and layers work together with the crusher.
was curious by how a single plane could be converted into a cylindrical mass and then into an open cubic form, functioning as a mouth.There is an outer layer and an inner layer with perforation, demonstrating how layer within the  layer is working together. I attempted to replicate the linear nature of objects in the host and parasite model and demonstrate how they connect with different volumes. The subsequent exercise involved creating a cube inspired by the object, replicating the interlocking mechanism, connections, perforation, mass and texture of the object. The subsequent exercise involved creating a cube inspired by the object, replicating the interlocking mechanism, connections, perforation, mass and texture of the object. I incorporated linear elements that integrate with the plan. Similarly, the mass acts as a screw and fits into another object, which is connected to a different layer, creating a cohesive and interconnected character .
After considering the nature of the mid sem cube and object, I came up with a design where I was curious about how connectivity would work. The boundary here has been inspired from the linearity that was present in the object. The rustic nature has been enhanced through the material of cement and metal sheet with perforations.
In the plan, there is a clear distinction between private and public space. The public space is 1 to 6 and 16, while the rest of the space is designated as private. This differentiation is achieved by creating a pathway that divides the two spaces. As one moves forward along the pathway, the public space gradually transforms into a parking area. On the first floor, one can observe two distinct landscapes merging into a path and mass in two separate areas. The design takes inspiration from the concept of host and parasite, as observed in nature. This is evident in the way the two landscapes come together to form a cohesive whole, with one landscape acting as the host and the other as the parasite.
In the final design, I have attempted to incorporate the concept of host and parasite quality by dividing the space into two distinct layers - public and private. The chunks of the space are covered by a layer of roof, which serves as a means of differentiation between the two layers.
In this final chunk, it can be observed how a roof conversion can serve as both a structural element and a connecting element between two separate buildings. This section demonstrates how a space can serve multiple purposes without compromising its design, and also adds value to the overall project.

Along the pathway, one can witness how the roof conversion transforms into a vaulted structure that serves as a connector between two buildings and the pathway.
In this part, I attempted to portray how the pathway is transforming into a landscape that doubles as a public space with seating, which is also seamlessly connected to another public space.
This part of the design is the reception area which not only acts as transitional space from public to private but also offers a particular functionality to the design.
