PREFACE

The drawings and all the content displayed in this portfolio is created by me and are true to my knowlwdge. It is a compilation of my works from 2019-2023 Each section shows different skills, design abilities and experience gained in that time period. Living these four years through various events and topics has given each time a unique valueand lessons. I’m glad to display my work to you.

CONVENTION CENTRE

BRIEF- Design should aim to address the socio-cultural dynamics of the city as well as its climatic conditions. Adequate attention is to be paid to the organization of positive and negative spaces ie. The built and the un-built spaces within the site. Students are expected to adhere to standards as well. Byelaws may be referred to for parking and other requirements like public safety, margins etc.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS- The convention centre is planned with keeping in mind the nature of activities and segregating them accordingly into floors. Locally available materials of jaipur have been used and have tried to maintain the vernacular architecture of jaipur intact. Placing the activities which require views towards the jal mahal side. Segregating entries for auditorium and services. Giving open and semi open spaces for required activities. Giving grand entrances to the building blocks with courtyards, jaalis etc.

LOCATION- Near mansagar lake, Jaipur

SITE AREA- 21,110 SQ.M.

TYPE- Commercial Building

MENTOR- Dr. Vidya V. Ghuge

The axial sightline for movement.

The convex space of interaction. The isovist field of interaction

The journey takes into consideration the activity and the processes of the users of the site. The experiences one has as one moves through the spaces make it more memorable.

The transition from unbuilt/ natural environment to a built environment is important and must be designed accordingly. Each movement through the site and the structure creates a story and an experience.

The story may relate to the function, activity patterns, and experiences of the users. The user is taken along a fixed path which branches and undulates to create multiple narratives. Although the user is the same, the paths taken may differ and in turn the experience of the site.

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT BHOPAL

Campus design, thus, is an essential tool in creating a suitable environment for learning and smooth functioning of its various components. A campus is an ecology in itself.

Educational Campus planning in India dates back to ancient times owing to country’s rich advancements in various disciplines. The campus planning in developing India has evolved over time with changing needs of Industry, induction of new courses and subsequent modifications in pedagogical approach. India being a vast nation with varying context and climate has seen these Institutional built forms as a template for some of the best regional Architectural responses. Thus, the studio aims to introduce the Campus planning and design exercise for the following four typology of educational institutions in different contextual and climatic conditions across the country

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS- Designing an IIM system requires a deep understanding of the organization’s needs and goals, as well as a thorough knowledge of the technologies and tools available for managing information.
