Architecture Portfolio 2023

AANAL SANGHVI | ARCHITECTURE STUDENT

HELLO! I am currently studying for my Master’s Degree in architecture at Hochschule Anhalt in Dessau. In this portfolio I have selected projects that I have done professionally and also a couple of projects that were part of my academic curriculum in my bachelor’s.

As an architect, I have learned that we are capable of designing and conducting transformations that can have a positive effect on our culture and visa versa. Hence I need to give back what I have learned to the community. I too believe that design is a subject in which learning is not limited to schools and classrooms.

I am constantly in search of new learning and experiences that can allow me to grow personally and professionally. I am passionate about everything architecture and design. In my free time, I like to research and write about anything related to architecture, art and design. Which I regularly publish on my blog architectsread.com

JIVDAYA ANIMAL SHELTER A HOME FOR CANINES AND FELINES IN AHMEDABAD

INFO Place: Ahmedabad, India

Year: 2023 Type: Animal Shelter Architect: Self Client: Jivdaya Charitable Trust, Rajash Foundation

Located in Ahmedabad, Jivadaya Charitable Trust is a non-government animal welfare organization that provides medical care to un-owned domestic and stray animals, and also runs a rehabilitation centre for birds, reptiles and small mammals. This institute active since 2007 has now had an influx of injured animals (esp. canines and felines) more than ever. To handle this surge, a new intervention/extension was developed with the gracious funding of the Rajyash Foundation.

The major challenge was to come up with an economical design that could accommodate more than twice as many animals as it currently did while still abiding by PETA laws! The current intervention includes a healing cabin for dogs with skin ailments, a physiotherapy ward for dogs, and a puppy arena. In addition to an OPD for cats, a play area for kittens and space for cats with skin ailments.

Hence the vision was to go with a fabricated structure that could also act as a sturdy wall that could sustain damages like distressed canines biting the walls or cats escaping from small ridges. The colour white on the fabricated structure helps to soothe the Amdavadi heat and also acts as a convenient backdrop to identify splatters of blood or any other fluid that is a concern for the doctors.

PVC partitions are cheap, but not ergonomic, so Why don’t we fabricate our partitions?

SOFT WATER UGT

Located in the outskirts of Ahmedabad, Mehra Musing is a residence designed for a family spanning three generations. The clients’ affinity for meditation and Buddhist practices required a chanting room in addition to the programme of private bedrooms, living/dining areas and home office. In this vein, spaces in the home are imagined as meditative pauses at various levels of wooden inserts that are complimented with white walls doused in the sun glow of natural light.

As a response to the site’s linear geometry and open vistas only on the shorter sides, volumes are stacked, staggered and “pushed into” one another to allow most parts of the home to be open to light, sound and wind. This split-level layout is an unusual approach to multi-storeyed family living.

One enters the foyer and living room at the lower ground level, but is soon drawn into a series of spaces visually connected from above, below or transversely across each other, simultaneously.

The conventional staircase core is broken down to become an expanded internal verandah, which appears and disappears along one’s journey from the subterranean home office to the upper terraces, to be discovered behind the next corner.

The construction was held in three major phases, design, civil construction and interior design. As a junior Architect, I was part of the team that carried out the finishing and interior phase of the house.

Tasked in managing various agencies such as carpenters, plumbers, masons etc. that were responsible for the final execution and furnishing of the house.

Re-think FOR AHMEDABAD CBD A COMMUNITY CENTRIC MIXED USED URBAN APPROACH

INFO Place: Ahmedabad, India Year: 2020 Type: Urban intervention Proff.: Sheetal Shah

Ahmedabad is a developing metro city in India with a rich history of cotton and textile production. This commercial city was once called ‘The Manchester of the East’. But, it faced a industrial decline as other cities also florished during the industrial revolution. Now the centres that hosted the Assosiation of Mill Owners are a mere landmark and exhibition venues. One of the major landmark is the Ahmedabad Mill Owner’s Assoiation, built

by Le Corbusier, locally known as ATMA House.

It is located in the heart of Ahmedabad’s central business district. Which also hosts the important landmarks such as the RBI and the Income-tax building. ‘

A theme given by our proffessor to re-develop and re-think an exisitng urban core.The main goal is to observe centrality as a core defining entity, not as a term of geometry.

Portfolio | Aanal Sanghvi

The ATMA House not only stands as an architecture landmark, but is part of Ahmedabad’s cultural identity. Hence the idea of creating a cultural hub around the ATMA House was derived.

Knowledge Hub RESEARCH CENTRE AN INTERVENTION IN THE MOST ROUGH CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

INFO Place: Dasht-e-lut, Iran

Year: 2019 Type: Institutional Design Proff.: Wasim Sheikh

A scientific research institute lies in the lap of the dead Dasht-e Lut dessert in Iran.The studio was run in three major phases. The first phase was rigorous research of climate and other privaling conditions of the site. The second phase was to work out the functions and the master plan of a research institute that was proposed on the site.

Both of these phases were done in a group of three.

The institute consists of major building dedicated to a scientific field. Each building catering to the research of the findings from the region, which was resolved as an individual project in the third phase. In the first phase an intensive reasearch on the site was carried out where the climatic analysis, soil analysis and the historical relevance (if any) was researched through all the available sources. After the research the function of the to be proposed institutes were discussed, The master plan was further planned in the group of three. The campus was designed to mimic the existing contours of the sand dune, so that the building can withstand the extreme sand storms.

The shape was achieved with the help of paramertics. Rhinoceros and grasshopper was used in the process. The skeleton of the whole roof structure was inspried from Frei Ottos Multihalle. The excercise was further carried forward as an individual task where each major building was selected and developed. I tasked in developing the geology institute. The idea of the building stemmed from the architecture of the nearby kasbas and the ventilation system found in the termite mound. This is further explained in the section added further.
