An Urban Campus S6 Major Project

BRIEF.

Designing a separate post-graduation and research institute for Maharajas College, Ernakulam, linked to the mother campus through innovative means, for 22 post-graduate programs and 17 research courses, with an intake of 25 appilcants per course. This new institute will have multiple departments connected through innovative transitional spaces, creative planning of the built and unbuilt spaces, and other requirements such as administration, seminar halls, staff rooms, washrooms, services, etc. A total of 1000 occupants, inclusive of students, faculties and non-faculties are to be considered.

LOCATION.

MG road , Ernakulm, Kerala, India.

DESIGN.

Design focused on establishing positive interactions among academic, research, outreach, cultural, and operational activities through the integration of various functional units, providing a continuity within the blocks and the surroundings together with incorporation of these integration elements into the urban fabric through the creation of a central node.

KEY POINTS:

• protect and strengthen the campus as a living-learning resource;

• protect and enhance campus beauty;

• enhance environmental stewardship;

• minimize energy impacts and increase/retain energy efficiencies.

CONCEPT.

• Placement Of Blocks In S-W Direction to Reduce Heat Gain And Capture Wind.

• Courtyard Induced Between Each Block Create Climate Responsive And Socially Active Environment. These Courtyards Can Be Integrated Into The Central Node

• Public And Mixed Use Blocks Placed Adjacent To The Main Road While Private Spaces Are Placed In A Buffer Space.

DESIGN ELEMENTS

• Louvered facade for effective sun shading inside the exposed blocks

• Integration of central spine alongside internal trees to bring out the character of the present avenue

FORM DEVELOPMENT

• Arrangement of academic and public spaces in top down order with proper hierarchy (1) .

• Block raised to accommodate further activities into the building with academic activity isolated to top (2) .

• Further developed to two level transition with public space adjacent to street and buffered site edges (3) .

Urban Design

BRIEF.

Project’s goal was to thoroughly examine the urban fabric of Kochi’s Marine Drive Stretch. Marine drive is a 3km walkway stretch that exhibits the skyline of Kochi to mark an identity of the district developing as a ‘Metro city’ with lines of commercial shops and parks with the accessibility of various transportation means in and around, a significant commercial district with a wealth of development opportunities. The process aimed at find solutions for pressing contemporary issues by analysing a variety of design intervention possibilities, particularly those related to waterfront development and mobility rejuvenation.

LOCATION.

Marine Drive Stretch (Kochi) , Ernakulm, Kerala, India.

DESIGN.

On Foot Through The City Centre- “to transform the site into a pedestrian friendly and vibrant city core using inclusive and walkable street design principles, therefore enhancing the urban ecosystem.”

KEY POINTS:

• Introduction of Pedestrian-only streets prioritize people and are strategically selected streets in which pedestrian volume is high and vehicular traffic is restricted. These streets offer opportunities for diverse activities such as shopping or sitting, dining or dawdling, promenading or performing.

• Rejuvination of canal and introduction of public plazas, parks and green spaces

• Redevelopment of market spaces to enhance safety and legibility

• Pedestrian friendly commercial streets to increase social interaction and decrease traffic issues by vehicular controls

Conceptualization.

Inclusion of green infrastructure, dedicated bays, & vegitation

Ample spacial accomodation for mixed use networks

Arterial roads are redeveloped as safe pedestrian connections along with street scaping to enhance the character of the stretch and to create a walk experience for the users.

Green Spine through central part of site connect major character zones internally. Acts as a shared street with reduced vehicular circulation.

Articulated facades & Trees Gateway Treatments

Pinchpoints

Envisioning dedicated bus lanes and bus bays with unobstructed public transportation facilities and access at each junction connecting arterial roads.

Pedestrianising MG road along the length with vehicular access limited to one side and other side dedicated to pedestrian and public activities, implementing guidelines for pedestrian inclusive design at edges.

Strategies for limiting private vehicular entry at MG road includes:

Master Plan & Proposals

5. Retention and modification of fashion street along with green open plazas in between

4. Provision for e mobility parking and charging units for access of entire stretch

1.Retaining the character of indira priyadarshini park, leading to creation pocket parks along the walkway.

3. Creation of wetland along the contoured stretch, accomodating seasonal market space which can be utilized by local residents

2. Open public plaza for mixed usage of students and public

@Bharathapuzha

Competition : THE HOUSE 2.0 ,Archdias.

House that employs structural and sustainable strategies to maximise the flow of natural elements and improve the quality of life by providing a constant space of solace and shelter for body and mind.

LOCATION : Kalpathy,Palakkad

SITE AREA : 7O50.5 sqft

CONCEPT

THE DILUTED BUILTSCAPE

Littoral cottage enhancing the lateral relationship between indoor and outdoor activities by blurring the connection through the blocks infusing natural essence of site.Each space experiences the feeling of exposure to surroundings while maintaining comfort of a shelter. Integration of landscape features within each blocks or zones through inclusion of an ‘open to sky’courtyard and large fenestrations, open to river side strengthens one’s connection to the exterior surroundings mentally and physically. Elements like breathable jallie at facades, mud block walls, bamboo roofs and supports wooden fittings etc. further reinforces the resident’s bonding with nature while providing a sustainable and eco-friendly habitable environment.

7.Bamboo Pavilion.

Spiral-Connecting the old and the new Competetion: Node Pavilion Design Challenge

Spiral - reciprocates a dramatic showcase of progressive rise or fall, each responding to an upward stimulus provided by the previous one. Stressing on the philosophical approach we direct this rise and fall to connect with the life and go of the current living scenario. The advancement in technology and resources has led to a virtual mode of connection and happiness that is being more preferred leading to less social behavior and gatherings. This as we all know is leading to the loneliness of the senior citizens in the society as well as in the long run virtual mode of life would end making us self-centered.
