The whole kit and caboodle was fresh for my part. From the word go glance through the models and the works of the seniors left me in untaught state.

Although gradually understanding the process I was able to come up with new ideas and creative thought. Each reviews were battles to improve myself.

Leaping through years I was able to visualize me in our juniors visiting our studio to go through our works. I’m filled with gratitude to our esteem faculties for the guidance and support and fondness to my parents who coped with my atypical time pattern and the mess made up making models

PROJECT The project was to design an IT office building for two different companies on a one acre plot, which has a canal runnung along it’s east edge. The requirements were to design a working space according to office hierarchy for employees working in each company. Other ammenities & recreational spaces could be assumed. The major goal of the project was to understand basic service systems of the high-rise building & incorporating it with the design. The services included parking, electrical, plumbing, sanitation, HVAC, & other IT related services, if any.

CONCEPT The concept of hybridization in architecture as a way of assimilation of globally distributed architectural practices by local structures.To retain the current blend of cultures and bring in modern elements i.e, to merge local and global. Also to create a hybrid cluster that blurs the boundary between different amenities so as to promote interactive relations and encourages encounters in public spaces that vary from commercial, residential, to recreational. In terms of an approach to heritage and culture, our aspiration was to balance the architectural imperative of representing the stretch, integrated against maintaining the legibility of the various parts of the stretch.

CLIMATIC FACTORS

CIRCULATION PATTERN

EDGE ACTIVITIES

This area of the site faces the southern rays of the sun and experiences strong sea breezes.

To lessen the intensity of the sun’s rays, the structure must have skins.

There are two main roads that lead to this area of the site. Consequently, one can be utilized as an entrance and the other as an exit. Highway road connects exit roads.Due to their proximity to the sea, waterways can be employed as an additional mode of transportation.

VISION

DESIGN EVOLUTION

The vision is to come up with a significant role in entity of many local community and networks by achieving new standards of excellence as they are not only restricted to recreational activity but act as an epicentre attracting citizens from different section of the society. To capture attributes of the street. Function and its role in influencing the building in it and how streets perform various social and cultural role in urban context.

STRATEGIES

Large green space provide opportunity for contact with nature .

The present location has the highest More individuals can fit inside the strucpotential to become a hotel with the ture thanks to high rise construction. most potential for that construction.

Each floor of the building has curvilinear boundary with vegetation composing a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.

To decrease the human-like massing Offer shade for another structure structure, the structure has to be split based on the movement of the sun into two.

Indoor environment quality of the building has a significant impact on occupant health, comfort and productivity.It is achieved in all indoor by maximizing the daylighting providing appropriate ventilation

To construct a facade system that facilitates and promotes air flow, buildings must be properly planned. Additionally, the indirect skylight and reaccessed ports should provide adequate illumination. Opening designs were carefully chosen to prevent exposure to too much sunlight.

High rise building with relief from high density structure by incorporating plaza and waterfronts

Incorporating green roofs and green walls reduce heat transmission into buildings , helps to identify surface with exposure of high levels of solar irradiance .

By designing an aerodynamic shape that is responsive to the predominant wind flow . This shapes enables unrestricted movement of air as the structure is curvilinear in its boundary .

Connections are constructed between the two structures on a higher floor so that it may serve as an observation desk for the sea and the area around it.

Heat gain can reduced by introduction of inclines walls

The two buildings’ completely glass facades and a skybridge joining them may provide the best views and internal experiences. Being the major component of the tower’s skybridge, maintaining its transparency would outweigh the structural system and internal activities.

21

Pay attention to the condition of vacant places, such as streets, parks, and public areas. This design intends to promote a gradual yet significant mobility conversion, such as rearranging the roadway network or significantly enhancing and extending bicycle and pedestrian pathways both inside the plot and throughout the neighbourhood.

The structure now has a platform that may use as parking or as a commercial area.

To experience an endless view of the sea, another structure has been erected to the seaside.

FACADE IDEA PREFACE

A building envelope serves simultaneously many different functions while the main one is most often to provide a shelter for the occupants. The main purpose is to offer a comfortable space for the users of the building to work or live undisturbed. This space needs to be protected from outside parameters like wind, rain, heat, cold and sound. Thus, a building skin protects the building from direct external environmental factors like sunlight, rain and wind and helps in maintaining comfortable interiors along with providing structure and stability to the building.

LED TURBINE FACADE

Aliasing is an array of wind turbines that uses OLED technology as the blades. The result is a sustainable billboard & building powered by wind. Each OLED panel is stacked on top of each other to form a spiral which serves as a vertical axis wind turbine to provide energy for information display. During the windy day, ALIASING will provide viewers with ever-changing patterns. It is a billboard sculpture that captures both the dynamics of wind and viewer’s attention. At night, the lit OLED panels are highly visible. It displays information just like a regular screen but with a special aliasing effect. ALIASING is a dynamic sculpture even when it is static. The degree of rotation between two OLED panels controls the pre-defined aliasing patterns. With proper control of transparency, each pattern can be a wonderful light diffuser and sculpture.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

COMFORT

Heating, cooling and lighting are the primary parameters for regulation, leading to energy efficiency and dynamic spatial effects. For this reason, the aim of this research project is to prove that the Multi-functional Facade Module can contribute to minimizing the energy consumption substantially, while keeping a constant Indoor comfort based on the regulations’ requirements.

ENERGY

The main regulating factors are heating, cooling, and lighting, which result in energy efficiency and dynamic spatial effects. This project’s objective is to demonstrate that the Multi-functional Facade Module can significantly reduce energy consumption while maintaining a steady level of indoor comfort in accordance with regulatory criteria.

EDITORIAL WORKS

Unveiling the academic magazine Typological Pattern was a room to manoeuvre, it was a compendium of our semester 7 works through each stage. Sharing the reminiscences with all was overwhelming. Typological Pattern was an unwrap of the short episode of our journey and wisdom we seized. It was a great opening move by our studio faculties, our batch came up with the interpretation of typology, got into the perception of GOA. I proffered the golden opportunity to work with my skills acquired throughout my proficiency, with great heed and enthusiasm of work it was a great accomplishment,this opportunity was an endure of partake and participate information.
