Piazza at Tysons Tysons, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. WDG Architecture, 2019 This mixed-use development centers around a landscaped “Piazza”. Situated at a prominent intersection, the Piazza helps negotiate the terrain to allow vehicular circulation to flow underneath, while providing a pedestrian friendly entry experience to the surrounding facilities. The Ground level is typically Retail spaces, giving way above to a residential tower, an office building and a hotel. The project would develop in phases. The Residential tower will precede the Office building, and the Hotel will be constructed in the final phase. Involved as Architectural designer.

The Boro Tysons, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. WDG Architecture, 2019 This second phase development of “The Boro” consists of 2 multifamily residential and a third senior living facility. The planning idea was to extend the Boro’s new grid street, Boro Place, across the Westpark drive forming an umbilical connection with the earlier phase, culminating in a double height porte-cochere – a new focal point in the development. The Park across this central spine intermediates the two built masses to the North and South and is the necessary urban relief. Produced the planning and massing graphics throughout concept development. Worked on planning the 430-apartment multifamily building marked in yellow alongside. Involved as Architectural designer.

Association Drive Reston, Fairfax county, Virginia, USA. WDG Architecture, 2020 This 23-acre planning project consists of 1 office building, 1 hotel, 1 senior living facility, 2 midrise condominiums, a multifamily housing building, and several townhouses. The residential components are brick faced with metal panel accents. The architectural language of the townhouses translates into the condominiums and adhere to local typological aesthetics dictated by the developers. Produced planning and massing studies. Modelled the architectural articulation for the senior living facility, condominium, and townhouses. Involved as Architectural designer.

Ernst & Young Office New Delhi, India S.Ghosh and Associates, 2013 Core values of the bank: honesty, fairness and transparency in operations interpreted as see through open offices contrasted by drifting concrete masses housing private cubicles, meeting rooms and services. The structural framing grid holds the composition together both literally and metaphorically, indicative of the principles and promises upheld by the bank. Involved from design development to completion. Niche spaces developed harbour landscaped breakout spaces, mostly in the form of terraces.

Schematic Development

Clubhouse Angul, India S.Ghosh and Associates, 2013 & 2020 The club is a loosely knit series of interconnected functional pavillions around a water body as the framework. The architectural elements like the floating flat floors and roofs, and the sliding wall planes encourage an escapist utopia while creating a relaxing environ; apt for rejuvenation through socializing and recreation. Involved in the sports complex master planning and club architectural design from concept and design development up to construction stage.

Kalabhavan (Traditional Crafts School) Angul, India S.Ghosh and Associates, 2016 The craft institute is arranged around hierarchy of open courtyards linked to one another, as in the case of a village in India. Every cluster is arranged around a semi-private courtyard which forms a part of the spillover space for workshops and studios. The low profile of these huts contrast with the bulk of the 1000 seat auditorium, enabling an identity for each.

Studio

Traditional tectonics were explored to rethink contemporary studio forms, interpret the structure in steel and incorporate local materials. The project aims to be sustainable and represent local building traditions, while providing facilities to further the arts and crafts of tribal people in rural India. Involved as part of 3 member design team, from conceptualization upto start of excavation.

Jindal Corporate Office Raigarh, India S.Ghosh and Associates, 2011-13 This 250,000 sqft office building, the nerve centre for multiple steel factories, power projects and mines in the region, required to exhibit the strength and ability of steel, in a subtle dignified manner. Rising out of the landscape as fingers, with earth ramps going down to the basement and earth mounds berming alongside, the interplay of landform and the stretched out building create the drama in an otherwise dull context of a large steel plant and its billowing pollutants obscuring the backdrop. A steel framed structure with RCC slabs and shear walls (for service and circulation cores), with less than 30% of its office space having false ceiling, of which 10% is metal open cell grid ceiling. This was in perusal of showcasing the steel framed construction, but required all the innumerable services, typical of modern office building, to be resolved and ordered along the structure. While the generic furnishing was bought out, high ranking offices and meeting rooms had their furniture designed and detailed in-house. Project Architect responsible for design development, tender documentation and construction drawings; complete interior design including lighting design and furniture piece designs; coordinating consultants, vendors and site engineers, with regular site visits. Involved from conception to completion.

School of Planning and Architecture Bhopal, India B. Arch Design Thesis, 2011 The School’s logo was already selected through an open competition. The architectural interpretation of its concept forms the starting point. Mahadev symbolises unifying harmony: The semantics of Malwa Architecture as the background, the interwoven spiral water channel is symbolic of Mahadev, located in front of Nilkanth Mahadev temple at Mandu. The letter’s typography represent elements of Architecture defined in the Malwa Architectural tradition. S : FLAME

The 5 elements of creation in Hunduism: Khiti or Bhumi : Earth Ap or jal : Jal Tejas or Agni : Fire Marut or Pawan : Air or Wind Vyom or Shunya : Void or Space These elements inform Hindu architecture to the extent they are perceivable to human senses. The elements are literally interpreted in tangible forms. The Buddhist ideals of architecture also influential in these parts, define 4 elements of creation, namely Earth, Water, Fire and Air. But these elements are not tangible, ie. they do not appeal to human senses. Rather these elements manifest themselves through building character, both of Man and nature. Architectural creations by man, consequentially, embody these characters. Earth

1. Kshiti (Earth) – Landform and soil profiling. The area where silted soil was dumped shows a distinct profusion of vegetation otherwise rare in these parts where quarrying of basalt is the primary occupation. Minimum construction was planned in this area of fertile soil. 2. Agni (Fire) and Vayu (Wind) – The sun’s movement and prevalent wind direction. Emphasis was placed on passive solar shading and blocking prevalent South-East wind by placing bulkiest block up front. The hot gusty summer breeze thus passes above the coutyard system. Cold air from the waterbody flows in from the North-East through interconnected courtyards. The process reverses during winters.

3. Jal (Water) – All buildings were planned along the water edge both for the views as well as for the cooling effect. The built form rises out of the landform negotiated through a series of courtyards at different levels. These levels not only follow the landform but also define their position in the spatial hierarchy. Smaller courtyards open out to the waterfront converging internally towards a larger central courtyard. A combination of steps and ramps make the central coutyards higher than those at the periphery. This imbibes the circulation system with a sense of direction, not only in tune with the till of the land, but also with the spatial proportions and functional hierarchy.

Prevalent wind from the South-East is usually hot and undesirable. This flows over the mass having encountered the bulkier undergraduate academic block head on. Being lighter hot air rises up and flows over. Cold air flows in from the water body to settle in the interconnected courtyards. Being heavy cold air stays near the ground. Convection current is encouraged, hot air flowing above and cold air below gushing in from the water body. Bhopal being hot, dry and windy this continuous draft of moist air from the water body keeps the interiors cool, while being protected from the gusts of dry summer winds called Loo.

Cultural Center Chandannagar, India B. Arch, 2010 Chandannagar is a former French colonial town 30 miles upriver from Kolkata. Its uniqueness lies in its historic esplanade dotted with handsome French colonial buildings. The studio program sought to demolish and redesign the cultural centre, Rabindra Bhavan, to accommodate newer functions. Strategies: 1. Retain the open greens on the west. The adjacent town college and the residential apartments use this open air space for various events in conjunction to the cultural centre. 2. Establish connection between this locked in space and the esplanade through the built form. 3. Maintain a harmony with the open spaces of the college campus. 4. Discourage vehicular movement from the esplanade. Vehicular access from the thorough fare to the west prioritized.

Beach House Shankarpur, India B. Arch, 2008 Sankarpur is a small coastal village, two hours drive away from Kolkata. The brief asked for a beach house designed for an architect, from Kolkata, meant for weekends once in awhile. Being unoccupied at length, this residence should primarily be an identifiable object in itself; offering a unique formal experience within, to justify its being a getaway. The design thus looks for a habitable object with a distinctive form. The design takes cues from the mighty ocean and its violent waves getting reduced to frothy bubbles on the shoreline, before retreating. Set further back among the sand dunes, this structure is a conglomeration of huge bubbles, remnant of some ancient sea wave, crystallized over time. Our architect from the city discovers the structures and inhabits it whenever he visits Sankarpur. In a region that encounters tropical cyclones regularly (4 to 6 on average every year), domes are more suitable forms. The beach house is conceived as independent ferrocement domes with RCC beam and load bearing walls minimally used at intersections. To counter ferrocement’s issues with torrential rains, common in these areas, four rcc columns and two segmental arches of rcc support a covering roof that protects the interstitial spaces and intersections. Bamboo screens typical in these parts are used to protect against the SW sun.
