Architecture Portfolio
Architecture Student & Design Thinker
Architecture is more than shelter — it is a spatial narrative. My work is rooted in human-centric design, prioritising the threshold between private sanctuary and public life, shaped through light, shadow, and materiality.
Selected Work
Contextual Design
A 1,000 sq.m housing project in Mandvi, Kutch, designed for shipbuilding workers and their families.
Institutional Design
A contextual intervention bridging the historical essence of Vadnagar with contemporary architectural expression.
Pavilion Design
A parametric pavilion at Kamati Garden, Vadodara, translating movement paths and wind into interwoven spatial loops.
Landscape Design
A community landscape masterplan in Vadodara — earth sculpted into radial zones of rest, recreation, and reflection.
Residential Design
A contemplative landscape retreat where orthogonal volumes dialogue with greenery, light, and privacy.

The Person
I am Yatri Ketan Kumar Shah, an architecture student at Parul University, Vadodara, pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture (2023–2028). My academic journey began with a Diploma in Architecture, and I have since developed a practice grounded in contextual, human-centric design.
My projects explore the intersection of culture, climate, and community — from housing for artisan workers in Kutch to cultural institutions rooted in Vadnagar’s heritage. Through two internships, I have translated studio thinking into built reality.
