Academic : Structural Details ARCH 673 software : AutoCAD, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator The 4 storey building is a Care Center with mixed uses of residential, health and commercial spaces. Certain strategies have been incorporated into the enclosure design, that are indicated in this document via colour codes.

Super Structure used - CLT slabs and Glulam columns/beams further integrated with reinforced concrete cores and substructure which makes in itself a sustainable choice.

The enclosure supported by a wood stud frame, with 20” c.c. spacing between 50 mm x 150 mm studs.

Highly durable triple glazed windows are used for improved thermal performance.

The section is cut towards the southern side of the building with residential units on upper floors and public spaces below on the ground floor.

Triple-glazed fiber-glass windows are used to improve the thermal performance of the enclosure system. They are also highly durable.

For Cladding system - fiber cement boards are used on the exterior.

PASSIVE

SOLAR MASSING

The building heights are standard hence the building mass is tactfully placed to create shaded areas for comfortable outdoor play during the daytime. The built mass is distributed to allow integration of the greens for better utility.The facades are treated for opening proportions an d layering to allow the winter sun and block the summer sun .

PASSIVE

Sun Path diagram for Vasind

SOLAR ORIENTATION

The building footprint and the openings on the buildings respond to the warm and humid Tropical climate and the sun path.

EW facades are the shortest to keep the buildings naturally cool.

Maximum openings are on the North facade to allow penetration of only light minus any heat inside the buildings .

WIND MOVEMENT Uniform orientation will create eddies on the leeward side, unless the ground level is opened up. To make use of the westerly winds to our advantage the buildin g stands on the stilts . In a warm and humid climate, cross ventilation, breeze and Venturi effects are more important. Some of the buildings are o riented with the longer sides facing the west .

Economical built masses are oriented with shorter spans to the east and west side to reduce dependency on artificial resources for light and cooling.

CREATIVE

PLACE MAKING

Lived spaces are humane in nature and symbolise positivity. The soft scape on the site engages with minute program building to creatively convert spaces into places .

Nodes near the temple, club and essential shopping make visiting them a social habit thus building a cohesive community structure which grows like generations .

LINKAGE AND LIVING STREETS The city links to the site with a public bus stop and a para transit stand. Thus making commute within the precinct and to the make city accessible immediately.The linkage within the site is simple and efficient. A single green spine links all modes of transit thus keeping the place always lively and safe for around the clock commute.

INSPIRATIONAL

PUBLIC ART

Art has an inspirational quality about itself which is exclusive . Architecture displaying art in its varied forms is a symbol of freedom of expression and global connect .

Art instantly retains in the memory of people. The site specifically plans to include art on the public areas for everyone to appreciate and get inspired to follow their desires .

Zoning Constellation on Site

Linkage

IMAGE BUILDING Simple, Modern yet Emphatic, the buildings are functional and inspirational to build a sense of pride. Shram Sadhana Skill School is iconic with an institutional vibe and the residences create a sense of belonging as they are not overpowerin g and form centric . The image build here is of high quality of living in a sustainable neighbourhood.

Adaptation Image Building

GREEN FRAMES The greens frame the built and integrate the built masses with everyday activities . The green frames have a dual p urpose to function as a zero discharge site and permaculture zones . Thus the site functions as a carbon sink zone .

COMMUNITY

CIRCLES

The township is envisioned as a gesture of “Giving back to the Society . ” The site opens up to connect back to the larger outer community and the more inclusive inner community with its unique program building smart technological planning. Thus building many community circles across gender, age , work and leisure practices .

With the main concern of aesthetically covering the corner dead walls on the typical floors, the initial exterior concept developed around an idea of wrapping the club house with randomnly spaced wooden fins(50 x 100 mm) that later blends into the building.However, the cocnept had later altered to using hexagon modules that was similarly fashioned using fins made of GRC (Glass Fibre Re-inforced Concrete). My role was rather hands-on with this facade development of this project as I was initially involved in assisting with the Working Drawings, feasible structural 3D models for Structural consultants later moving on to develop the facade.

My thesis calls for an institution that would take lead in urgently mapping the structure's data before it is demolished on site (fuelled by economical or political interests). The virtual reality's hosting site was decided at Wat Mahathat, Ayuthaya, Thailand, which in itself is a world heritage site. The studio demanded students to personally visit and 3D document the ruins, projecting emphatic comparisons with the sacred old site and the current scenario of ruins. full thesis online link: http://3visceralintricacy.blogspot.com/2013/12/final-presentation-r2s.html#.XjYMCjIzbIU software : Adobe AfterEffects, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Sketchup, V-Ray.

10.0 YEAR 4 SEMESTER 2 DESIGN THESIS : RE-ADDRESSING A QUARRY SOIL SECTION SHOWCASE : S3 Academic Project

software : ArcGIS, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Sketchup, V-Ray S3 Project Soil Section Showcase : Significance of Topsoil for Suan Phueng's development within the Indo China region lies the Indo-Burma Hotspot area that consists all the main Southeast Asian countries of Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and eastern India too. Favoring an area of more than 2 million square kilometers, the sopt majorly habitats many bio-diverse species currently threatened of their influential tropical eco-system. Major Vegetation typologies including forests, agricultural patches, freshwater ecosystems and terrestrial biomes are hugely affected due to ineffective planning mechanisms resulting in disturbance patches which reduce the rate of succession growth thereby affecting topsoil sensitivity.

Ratchaburi, draws its attention to the recurring Thanao See mountains of Thailand which references itself from the existing terrestrial biome of deciduous forests mainly under tropical evergreen and broadleaf trees .The proportion of the flora and fauna are direct indicators of the topsoil quality of the region. Suan Pheung previously a mining site already shows its signals of water contamination, former excavations, overburdens, excessive dry soil, little species of flora and fauna, these being compensated with natural grasslands affecting the landscape's contour and water flow. Overtime, Suan Pheung has lost the natural capability of producing topsoil, as a result the site being dehydrated.

Topsoil type classified as a Horizon A, the most nutritive and essential layer of the soil where microbial activities take place in shaping future activities is required for creating a sustainable environment. Any type of development necessarily requires topsoil as a mandatory factor in the redevelopment of the site. Hence, S3 Project provides an interventional platform dedicated to topsoil awareness as a solution to alleviate existing contamination and dehydration of site. Major linear path is dug to expose cross section of various experimental fields(exploring possible land methods to increase top soil) around site. Due to the heavy deposition of feldpsar and quartz on site, two being main components in creating soda lime glass mass produced float glass, S3 concurrently promotes Suan Phueng as a float glass exporter in the long run too. Ways of regenerating top soil as a fact is the initial step towards reclaiming the site by methods of planting early perennial species, developing a forest groundcover ranges, livestock etc.

11.0 BLACK AND WHITE TONAL STUDY Submission for Sketching as Creative Tools role : Year Four medium : Charcoal on Paper Light and Shadow are one of the most interesting elements that allow us to study bodies, be it organic or inorganic. When it comes to architecture, light imposes a great deal of detail since the object is visible because of the light and is highlighted because of the shadow. Contrast of these two elements when studying the human body allows for observing specific details extremely intricate on muscles and skin tones. The more the body curves the more wrinkled it becomes creating more shadow and obstructing light.

Using Charcoal as a medium was best to study in-depth of how muscles interact with each other when a human body is in action - stretching, pulling, flexing, jumping, etc. The amount of pressure put on a specific body part for example, a hand when stretched puts the impact on the muscles such as biceps, triceps, shoulder, veins. When analyzing a human body it is important to give attention to such details since this is the clue to formation of shadows.

Medium used is Charcoal with the help of other tools including 4H , 2B, 10B lead pencils, soft eraser, charcoal pencil and paper pencil. The methodical process starts by analyzing the body, at first by creating solid shape outlines focusing on specific part of the body and later moves to hard contrast areas concerning the darkest and lightest area. Care is taken to keep the 'Light' areas free from charcoal powder and the soft eraser is used to keep it clean. The 4H pencil is used to make basic guidelines and afterwards darkened with 2B covering areas of shadow. Later 10B pencil is used to clearly form the result and in the end is overlaid with charcoal pencil. Towards the end charcoal is used to darken the shadow areas more and final touch includes of using the soft eraser to clean up the light areas. If there occurs to be a black background, charcoal is directly applied in the end and later dispersed smoothly with the help of a paper pen. The technique strongly lies on how accurately the paper pen is used especially in case of creating creases on dress or when dealing with minor space areas - lips, ear, nipples, fingers, toes.

This series of drawings made, have helped in developing my charcoal skills, a medium that I have not worked with or been exposed to on a daily basis. Aiming to study at tonal values of human body, the process helped me to identify light and its variations of tone created when the source light is projected from certain angle/angles from a single point or multiple points. The amount of shadow created directly follows from the position of projected body part/muscle. But this however varies depended on the amount of source light points. It is easier to tell the shape of the shadow during the presence of single source of light.

However when multiple source lights interact together, the rays of light overlap to minimize the effect of shadow. The series involve study of both.

Single source : Sketches on Black Background Multiple source : Sketches on White Background Hence, these works are a part of experimenting a new medium along with the stressed fact of achieving proportion and scale while drawing.
