ANAGHA YOGANAND DESCRIPTION A final year student of architecture, looking for an internship to learn and exercise my skills and knowledge, for a duration of 3 months, between Feb’2017 to May’2017.

Juhani Pallasmaa quotes, “Significant architecture makes us experience ourselves as complete embodied and spiritual beings.” If architecture is about a complete self-experience, so is education. Therefore my thesis aims at exploring how education and architecture can find common grounds, enhancing the experience of learning and development by redefining existing schooling architecture in India.

Research Based Design Strategy Development Year 4: Semester 8 [2016] Mentor: Milind Merchant Site: Bandra [East], Mumbai.

The aim of the project was to formulate an organizational design strategy for FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) headquaters, by understanding the relationship shared between FSSAI and the FMCG industry. Research done proves how FSSAI plays the role of a regulatory body by enforcing regulations, which is not enough to control a volume driven industry like the FMCG [supply chain functioning as the core]. Therefore, it calls for FSSAI to play the larger role of an enabler too. The introduction of a grading system will incentivise the stakehodlers in the FMCG industry, and encourage them to follow regulations in-turn enhancing their performance and making FSSAI an enabler in this situation. It will also be instrumental in increasing collaboration between the two through training, education and sharper communication. So the whole design strategy focuses on organizing the required programs for the FSSAI Headquaters based on the above mentioned theory.

Site Observations

Redefining Public Spaces Through Commerce Year 4: Semester 8 [2016] Mentors: Atrey Chhaya Prachi Donde Site: Malad [West], Mumbai.

Malad is a thriving commercial suburb in the city of Mumbai and this sudden commercial boom, has led Mindspace to grow in an unplanned manner. The commercial establishments are enclosed and boxed, because of which they are introvert in nature, and lack interaction with surroundings. All the buildings are isolated and scattered, making it unfriendly for pedestrians to access them and hence making streets very deserted and unsafe. They stand independent of each other without responding to its environment around. The project aims at unboxing these glass isolated boxes by breaking the rigid boundaries of private establishments and bringing in the surrounding ecology, to build healthy interaction, shared recreation, and a thriving public life. This has been achieved by working out a pattern that devolves into an urban strategy which helps in resolving this problem at multiple levels. It also helps in bridging different programs efficiently and making them function together.

Recreation

The Mindspace area has varied commercial establishments ranging from the informal Tapris and Chai-walas to white collared professionals. Although these street side vendors are not a formalized part of the fabric, they help in bringing the people out of these commercial glass boxes. These existing types of commerce, are contained, secluded from each other, and compartmentalised. There is no form of recreation or leisure areas provided for the people, who are not only confined to their cubicles but also to a specific office level. As compared to the other parts of malad mindspace lacks informal market sapces, provsional stores, and resident friendly commerce due to extensive privatization.

The primary fractals cater to the public programs like schools, hospitals, malls, banks, etc. which needs direct access. While the secondary fractals, houses semi-public programs like IT parks, BPOs and offices. Lastly, the tertiary fractals are private residential complexes consisting of various housing typologies. This pattern grows continuously and bridges all the various programs together at different levels, avoiding seclusion and introvert spaces. It helps in collaboration and builds an efficient urban sprawl.

Ghost Town: Chromesthesia Year 4: Semester 7 [2015] Mentors: Atrey Chhaya Dipal Chhaya Site: Opera House, Mumbai

Revisiting the once historical landmarks, which are now dilapidated structures in south Mumbai and building a narrative that helps in reinvigorating the structure was the motive of the project. The project involved 4 modules namely, 1. Video 2. Drawing 3. Models 4. Design which represents and justifies the narative.

The Opera house, one of the most important historical icons’ of Mumbai, was the structure chosen for this project.

1. Video Clip description: The narrative represents a synaesthetic protagonist’s journey through a historical but now dilapidated Opera House, Mumbai. The protagonist who was a former performer, hears his performance come alive from the past when Opera House was at its peak and he was the musician celebrity of many evenings. This visual shows what he reminisces.

Module 2: Drawing

Drawing shows a section of the Opera House occupied by sound represented by coloured pixels.

Sound starts from a source and resonates throughout the theatre through different means like reflection, reverberation, absorption, and it eventually fades away into walls and thin air. But at a given point in time, occupies the whole contained space by forming an amorphous sound cloud.

Mixed-Use Housing Year 3: Semester 6 [2015] Mentors: Jagdish Jani Shreyank Khemalapure Site: Vile Parle [East], Mumbai

This project is based on understanding the mixed-use complexity observed in the suburbs of Vile Parle, Mumbai. There are areas of mixed use, ranging from pure residential to work+residence, offices, consulting room, hotels/inns, nursing homes, and restaurants which exist as stacked programs in the building. The design therefore tries to form a new way of co-existence between the varied programs by hinging them at fixed angles of connection to allow for a healthy collaboration.

This is done by connecting the three boardly classified programs of commerce, entertainment and residence thorugh a fourth program of recreation.

Phool Bhandar [Flower Market] Year 2: Semester 4 [2014] Mentors: Atrey Chhaya Mahel Lallan Site: Bhuleshwar, Mumbai

Bhuleshwar, is one of the oldest and busiest market places in South Mumbai.

The streets of Bhuleshwar very effortlessly come across as root networks growing organically, such that they branch out from primary to secondary to tertiary, as they engulf, and penetrate into built masses, holding and gripping them tightly together.

Therefore, this concept of streets engulfing into masses was translated into an open flower market that produces and sells saplings, loose flowers and garlands. The market is designed as a network of pathways engulfing into the existing surrounding buildings to share their external walls and in-turn provide them with a beautiful view of the flower [produce+sell] market.

Salt Tectonics Year 2: Semester 3 [2013] Mentors: Atrey Chhaya Mahek Lallan BSSA Exhibition Display: Table Installation

The aim of this Foundation workshop-2 was to understand and reinterpret the complexity in non-living natural systems in the environment.

Salt Tectonics is the study of the formation of a salt diapir. A salt diapir is any salt structure that is formed by intrusion into its overburden. Salt has low density, thus it is viscous in nature. Due to differential loading of sediment layers, the salt depositions underground rises up to the surface, forming a salt diapir. This exhibit focuses on the dynamism of this formation, and represents the mechanism as part of its design.

Royal Palace Complex Year 2: Semester 3 [2013] Mentors: Trilochan Chhaya Anand Pandit Site: Mandu, Madhya Pradesh

Mandu or Mandhavgarh is a historical landmark located in the western region of Madhya Pradesh, and is popular for its marvels in Afghan architecture, most of which is now in ruins.

The Royal palace complex is one such marvel comprising of different structures, such as a royal bath, tomb, mosque, residences, undergroundwells, etc, which was entirely measure drawn as a collective class project during a study trip to Mandu in 2013.

7. Jal Mahal: Jal Mahal located in the northern side of the Munj talao, surrounded by water bodies on all sides was once a luxurious retreat for the sultan of Malwa. It consists of a few rooms and multiple water tanks in the courtyard with steps to descend down.

Heritance Kandalama Year 5: Semester 9 [2016] Site: Dambulla, Srilanka

Known for its architectural splendor, Heritance Kandalama sits effortlessly on the rocky landscape, and almost becomes a part of the topography it is buit on. It is a classic example of blurring boundaries between inside and outside, or from within and without. Bawa thoughtfully choreographed a sequenced circulation throughout the structure, by framing dramatic scenic views, which is reflected right from the tree-sheilded drive till the entrance and beyond.

Hertance Kandalama, one of Geoffery Bawa’s most celebrated works, was documented on a study trip to Srilanka.

The Lost Party Installation Work Experience [2016] Site: Salter Lake, Lonavla Team: 8 Members

The Lost Party an annual camp-out music festival commisioned us to design a walk-through installation. The important feature of this design is that, it frames different views of the site when viewed from varied angles, but when a user walks through it he/she experiences a unidirectional circular framed scenic view. Materials used were box-board for the thin plates, mild steel rods, and metal spacers.
