SECOND YEAR

IN THE FIRST SEM, IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN TO DESIGNING THE VERY FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF SOCIETY, A HOUSE. THE LEVEL OF COMPLEXITY INCREASED FROM AN INDIVITUAL DESIGN UNIT TO A FAMILY UNIT. SEVERAL CASE STUDIES AND SITE VISITS WERE DONE TO UNDERSTAND THE PATTERN OF LIFE. SECOND SEM WAS PROGRAMMED TO DESIGN FOR MASS. THE DESIGN THAT CATERS TO A SOCIETY RATHER THAN A FAMILY. TO UNDERSTAND THE SOCIAL STRATA VISIT WAS DONE TO THE WORLD HERITAGE SITE, PRAGPUR AND DOCUMENTATION OF THE SETTLEMENT WAS DONE.

SITE PLAN

THE PROJECT WAS TO DESIGN A CULTURAL CENTRE, MUCH NEEDED FOR THE HERITAGE VILLAGE OF PRAGPUR. THE SITE HAD A LEVEL DIFFERENCE OF 15M WHICH WAS TACKLED BY GOING ALONG WITH THE CONTOURS AND MINIMAL CONSTRUCTION. VERNACULAR CONSTRUCTION WITH MUD WALLS AND BAMBOO WAS ADOPTED. THE ROOF WAS DESIGNED BY A COMPOSITE MATERIAL OF MUD WITH BAMBOO REINFORCEMENT. THE ORGANIC FORM OF THE ROOF CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE ORGANIC FABRIC OF THE SETTLEMENT.

THE DESIGN PROBLEM WAS A SHORT TERM PROJECT GIVEN TO UNDERSTAND THE SPACES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WHICH EACH OTHER. ADJASCENCY DIAGRAMS, CIRCULATION SYSTEMS , SUN PATH DIAGRAMS ETC WERE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL WHICH FORM THE VERY FUNDAMENTAL PRE-REQUISITE FOR DESIGNING.

PHYSICAL MODEL

THE DESIGN PROBLEM WAS A REAL TIME PROJECT AT FARIDABAD. THE TASK WAS TO PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM USABLE SPACE IN THE GIVEN AREA. COURTYARD SYSTEM WAS USED TO CREATE OPTIMUM USABLE SPACE WITHOUT HINDERING THE PROXIMITY AND INDIVITUALITY OF EACH SPACE PROVIDED. EACH FLOOR HAS 2 BEDROOMS AND GYM AT THE BASEMENT. THE CONCEPT WAS CREATE A HEALTHY LIVING ENVIRONMENT BY INCREASING THE INTERACTION FOR WHICH MORE SEMI PRIVATE SPACES WERE DESIGNED.

IN THE FIRST SEM INTRODUCTION TO BYE LAWS WAS GIVEN. FORM DEVELOPMENT W.R.T BYE LAWS WAS DISCUSSED BY A DESIGN PROJECT TO DESIGN AN OFFICE BUILDING IN GANDHINAGAR. IT WAS MORE OF A FORM FINDING EXERCISE THAN A COMPLETE DESIGN PROBLEM. LATER MORE DETAILED AND COMPLEX DESIGN STRATEGIES WERE DISCUSSED AND A NEW PROJECT TO REDESIGN THE AUDITORIUM OF THE COLLEGE WAS GIVEN. THIS WAS TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITIES OF PROJECT SPECIFIC DESIGN SOLUTIONS. SECOND SEMESTER HAD AN INTRODUCTION TO PARAMETRIC DESIGNING AND FURTHER AN ICONIC STADIUM DESIGN PROJECT . THE TEMPLE RUINS OF KHAJURAHO WAS VISITED AND THE NEARBY SETTLEMENT CALLED RAJNAGAR WAS STUDIED AND DOCUMENTED IN DETAIL FOR THE INTACH. LATER FINAL DESIGN PROBLEM WAS FORMULATED IN RAJNAGAR ITSELF FROM THE STUDIES DONE.

AUDITORIUM REDESIGN

AUDI PLAN

THE CHALLENGE WAS TO REDESIGN THE AUDITORIUM WHICH WAS ONCE THE ICON OF MODERNIST MOVEMENT. THEREFORE THE DESIGN SOLUTION WHICH IS TO BE PROPOSED HAD TO BE JUSTIFIED IN ALL RESPECTS. APART FROM THAT THE LIMITED OPEN AREA IN THE COLLEGE CAMPUS WAS ALSO A CONCERN. A DESIGN SOLUTION WAS FORMULATED BY RETAINING THE FORM AND SINKING THE EXISTING AUDITORIUM AND THUS INCREASING THE OPEN AREA . THIS WAS A BETTER SOLUTION COMPARED TO CREATING ONE MORE STRUCTURE THAT MAY DECREASE THE EXISTING GREEN.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN EXERCISE

A TWO WEEK PROGRAMME IN PARAMETRIC DESIGNING WAS DISCUSSED ON THE PROJECT TO DESIGN AN ICONIC BUILDING IN DELHI PRIOR TO COMMON WEALTH GAMES.THE FORM OF THE FOOTBALL STADIUM IS INSPIRED FROM A GAME PLAYED DURING JANMASHTAMI DAY. THE STRUCTURE FORMED IS THE MOST SUCCESFULL AND STABLE PATTERN. THE SAME FABRIC IS USED IN THE EXTERNAL FORM OF THE STADIUM.

sTUDIO RAJNAGAR SETTLEMENT STUDY FOR INTACH (GRP OF 3) RAJNAGAR THE ROYAL CITY OF CHOLA KINGS IS A SMALL SETTLEMENT WITH A POPULATION OF 10000. THE SETTLEMENT WAS STUDIED AND DOCUMENTED FOR INTACH. THE SETTLEMENT IS A SEMI URBAN RURAL SETTLEMENT GROWN AXAIALLY BETWEEN A HILL AND JLSENA LAKE. THE OLD FORT OF THE KINGS ACT ASD THE NODAL POINT OF THE SETTLEMENTS DEVELOPMENT. THE FABRIC OF THE SETTLEMENT CLOSELY RESEMBLES A CENTRAL SPINE FROM WHICH BRANCHES ARE FORMED.
