Dry Tortuga Islands

Team lead Research

The Design Focuses On Resettling Of The Natural Habitats For Them

Conceptualized As An Artificial Floating Island, Is Elongated Blissful Island That Summarises The Array Of Resources, Physical And Biotic Factors That Are Present In An Area, Such As To Support The Survival And Reproduction Of A Particular Species.

The Shape Formation Of The Island Is Started From The Shape Of The Backbone Of Fish

The Ribs Are Removed To Make A Uniform And Fluent Central Core Of Beach

Skeleton’s head is for human interaction, while back is turtle and bird habitat, used in research centers, tourist attractions, and activity areas.

The folding land uses a hydraulic anchor that sinks with pressure to provide a nesting ground for sea turtles. It lifts when pressure is reduced, preserving water flow and enabling the land to return to its original position

The island features an inbuilt hydraulic system, with pumps and cylinders that lift up extra folding land during high tides to prevent submergence and beach erosion, and hold its position against hurricanes.

The Shape Formation Of The Island Is Started From The Shape Of The

The concept of the research center is inspired by the atoll island i.e. When relative sea-level submerges the island again, the rim provides a rocky core on which coral grows again to form the islands of an atoll and the flooded bottom of the saucer forms the lagoon within them the same way building mass create a rim around the fresh water lake. The form of the building is organic and has soft edges which create a soft silhouette in the landscape.

Watch Tower

The watchtower gives us a look of palm leaves twisted in a simple circular pattern which makes it look more natural and also hides from the eyes of animals and birds living there so that it does not disturb their daily cycle. To make it more sustainable the material chosen for it is recycled steel.Its main purpose is to provide a high, safe place from which a sentinel or guard may observe the surrounding area.

LOCATION SEMESTER ROLE TYPOLOGY

The developed cities have lost the value of culture in the shadows of high-rise buildings. Proposing a new experience of living a space where people can gather around, interact and communicate rather than being lost in their apartments. Inspired from the chowl housing concept found in old cities, the apartments are arranged in a manner facing each other providing streets in between as a hybrid space where people can perform any ancillary activities. The concept of vertical colonies is being proposed throughout the rise of buildings with common spaces for adaptive living

Value Of Culture In Cities

In response to cultural loss due to high-rise buildings, a new living experience is proposed with apartments arranged to face each other, creating streets for hybrid spaces. Vertical colonies with shared spaces for adaptive living promote community engagement, drawing inspiration from the chowl housing concept found in old cities.

Gully have human scale but high-rise don’t have human scale.

Gully have balance of place and movement, and high-rise don’t have a place to rest, just movement.

Gully have Macro , Meso And Micro shared spaces and highrise have only meso and micro

Formation And Integration Of Gully And High-rise

Vertically in the formation of three apartments (3bhk,2.5bhk,2bhk) placed in descending order.

Giving access to the three apartments by a common street through placed staircases and corridors.

Creating play and pause movement in the spaces by pushing alternative flats inside out.

Arranging the row into a block of building and core connecting all the 14 streets also accessible to the levels in one street.

Creating a Void On Every Street for good amount of light and cross ventilation of air.

While the cream and brown color scheme of the bedroom is quite common,to modern indian homes,its the use of differenent mix textures in it’s design that makes it stand out

Hospital Design

The design is a 50 bedded multi-speciality hospital. The project was given as a part of the academic studies in III year of bachelor of architecture. The design was preceded by several weeks of similar city hospital case studies ,site analysis and understanding the norms for and standards for hospital planning

BLIND SCHOOL

Kushinagar

VIIth sem

Team lead Institutional

Through local education, supported by well-prepared specialists in education of the blind, these children can enjoy every day common experiences essential to the development of a keen awareness of the world around them. The way ahead lays within the blind school - the institution that allows for the hope filled possibility of education and rehabilitation for children. It is the only place where we can enable them to blend into an everyday life of dignity and self-sufficiency.

Movement pattern

Memorizing direction is aided by clear, simple directions and changes in direction, tempo, or function.

Light And Dark

High contrast in lights will help people with low visibility distinguish between the spaces effectively

Perception Of Volume

Blind users perceive variations in ceiling height and room proportions through changes in volume acoustics, air pressure, and lighting.

Left And Right

Different activities are signified by left and right opening doors, allowing for easy orientation and recognition of spaces.

Tactile Flooring

Tactile flooring made of textured tiles guides visually impaired through the building to open spaces in the design.

Textured Wall

Continuous tactile wall made of textured tiles guides visually impaired through building; classrooms and openings serve as landmarks.

Vocational Centre

Architecture is experienced beyond the visual, through senses that enhance our perception of space. Our design creates nonvisual narratives, incorporating textures, acoustics, and scents as guides for the visually impaired, extending nature into man-made environments. Our goal is to create sensory-rich spaces that enrich experiences for all.
