‘BIOMIMICRY’ - SPIRAL PATTERNS

Year: 2021

Elective Semester 9 - Habitat and Shelter Form

Role: Research, Concept Development, Designing

Project Brief:

Shelter for human adaptation has evolved over the last centuries in terms of its form. Nature has a huge role to play in the making of this forms. Architectural innovations has been inspired by PATTERNS IN NATURE to arrive at design solutions to solve human problems.

Evidence of this can be seen from ancient age to architecture by master architects lately who haven been designing buildings that are inspired by nature and compliment it as well. Thus this elective helped in studying the concept of BIOMIMICRY in architecture and ideas of shelter based on designs inspired from pattern in nature.

1

BIOMIMICRY PATTERN - SPIRAL

The design is evolved by taking spiral pattern inspiration from tail of a chameleon. The functions of chameleon’s tail is thus analysed and the strategy behind it is studied.

Thus , a tourist watch tower as a monument is designed taking inspiration from chameleons’s tail. The tower thus captivates similar functions ( anchoring, stability , movement ) . As a result,studying nature’s models helps to emulates these forms, processes, systems, and strategies to solve human problems.

CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT

Gear wheel in clock -------moves time. Spirals in the tower ------- movement in space

Cantilever deck thus provides a pause in momentum

Functions achieved

1. Stability - achieved due to spiral shape

2. Movement- visual movement as we go up

ADAPTATION OF FUNCTIONS AND STRATEGIES :

INSTITUTE OF DESIGN

Location: Jodhpur, India

Semester 6

Project Brief:

The proposed design institution aims to offer world class design eductaion and promote design awareness thus encouraging to raise the qulality of living. . The school aims to create design professionals of excellence to help meet diverse design needs of our society. With growing need of infrastructure in a developing country like India, the need for Architectural professionals is inevitable. Art being an inseparable parameter of human existence has always tuned the socio‐cultural advancements of our society.

Taking this opportunity within the larger campus of the University, it is proposed that Architecture and Art fraternities shall share common infrastructure.

.

The design aims to bridge the intangible gap between the allied fraternities through built form, which does justice to this vision through design. The library forms the central core connecting the allied fraternities . Open spaces formed within the structures resting in natural shade provided by the building throughout the day time. As a result outdoor spaces become lively even in harsh sunlight (inspiration taken from the vernacular architecture of Jodhpur )

CO-EXISTING FRATERNITIES SHARING COMMON INFRASTRUTURE

LIBRARY AS A CONNECTION IMPARTING KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS BRIDGING THE GAP INTANGIBLY

Volum Zero 2020

Role: Research, Concept Development, Designing

Project Brief:

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” - Nelson Mandela

Despite its importance, education is still inaccessible to many communities in remote locations around the world. Self-learning, especially through reading, is crucial for the society’s development. The design aims at creating environment for learners in a way that propogates knowledge with modern methods but at the same time dwell upon roots they belong to. Also, keeping in mind the climate of the context and responding it by giving vision to the design, the aim was to develop a space which enhances overall development in an individual.

As nature is the best teacher, blending the structure with the space it belongs, an incubator which provides learning in natures crib, - A Gurukul in true sense is formed.

YANTRA - Gateway to meditation

VIEWS

The site is located in outskirts of Nagpur, admist of villages that are specifically affected by rising water levels due to nearby Dam. Due to these rising levels, it becomes very difficult to commute in and out these areas, adversely affecting eductaion for young minds.

The space is designed as a centralized think tank for the local communities with a focus on public interactions and community development.
