PORTFOLIO 2022 - 2024

DEVANGA PHUKAN

_PROLOGUE Thank you for taking out your time to look through my portfolio. This is my seventh semester studying architecture at School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal, India and I can’t wait to explore more in this field. This portfolio contains selected works from design projects developed during my first 3 years at college. The projects were chosen to highlight the diverse scale and approcaches encompassed in my design eductation.

I hope to use the knowledge I’ve gained and contribute to the transformative work of your organization and in the process, learn from the experience and apply those back to my own academic and later professional work. I hope we can work together to make a better world.

Hello!

Devanga here, I am an architecture undergraduate(4th year) at School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal. I love to explore various design possibilities and opportunities to get engaged with. And, I highly believe we should build to create bigger social impacts not limited just to the active users of the design. More focused on the experiential aspects of spaces.

I always try to learn new things that I find fascinating, you never know what comes into use. Illustrating and capturing what’s around me allows me to visualize architecture in a more artistic manner.

DEVANGA PHUKAN

Generally, apart from designing and architecture, I would enjoy playing football on the field or a gaming console; both work. And, spend time listening to music or watching movies and TV series.

Estadio Municipal de Pisac Football Stadium

Keywords: Multi-Functional Arena, Community Space, Monumental Architecture The design and construction of a football stadium in Pisac, Peru, with a seating capacity ranging from 45,000 to 50,000 presents a compelling opportunity to integrate modern architectural principles with the robustness of concrete and steel as primary building materials. This project not only aims to meet the functional requirements of hosting large-scale sporting events but also strives to embody the cultural context of its location. By leveraging the structural flexibility and aesthetic versatility of concrete and steel, the stadium will not only be a symbol of technological advancement but also a addition to Pisac’s urban landscape. This sets the stage for a design that balances functionality, innovation, and cultural relevance, ensuring the stadium becomes a landmark venue for sports enthusiasts while respecting its surroundings and heritage.

Form Development

1. Volumetric representation of major spaces (gallery, basement and parking) according to area program

2. Galleries with acess corridors and acccomodating 45,000 people with proper view of the pitch

3. Continious ramps for gallery accesibility and croud control and also acts like a facade

4. Addition of PTFE roof over steel truss over viewing galleries

The spaces hierarchy of has be maintained by segregating the public and VIP entrances as well as vechicular and pedestrian pathways. the inclusion of the Basement helps in creating a separate platform for the entrance of normal crowd into the stadium.

The public enters the stadium through the podium. VIPs, Staff and Players have been given their spearate entrances beneath the podium.

11

The continious ramps are provided which directly leads the crowd to different viewing galleries.

The site also has to offer 2 Basketball and Badminton courts, 1 swimming pool, 1 practise football field and parking for 1000 vehicles.

The basement has player lounge, federation office, control room and confefence rooms.

The stadium has been designed ny keeping in thecontext of its surrounding.

As it is located in developing city and a mad footballing country like Peru a stadium big enough to adjust large capacity of people was necessary hence a iconic stadium was gives a different atmosphere.

SPACE TRUSS

TERRACE

View from Upper floor The thought of customizing a school according to the needs of these kids and not the teachers – a school which the kids will feel as normal.

This was the big challenge and the design evolved after a series of discussions and interactions with the teachers.

Can a sensory “Normal” environment be built for them? I hypothesized that given the right environment and the teaching method, autistic children can lead a normal life.

As these kids can sometimes be distracted or agitated at times, they need to break free and let loose to calm themselves. Therefore, Escape Zones can easily be created based on the way the current building is organized, which can be used as these sensory outlet areas. The Escape Zones also act as extended classrooms. As mentioned in the design objective, these children also need to be trained to face the outside world. Therefore, these extended classrooms can also help them develop many physical abilities.

Moon Base

Keywords: Space Station , Space Architecture, Scientific Base Camp, Hypothetical This trident-shaped moon base with a watchtower will be a symbol of human exploration and innovation in the 22nd century, enabling long-term lunar presence and scientific discovery.. Lunar regolith (soil) would be mined and processed for construction materials. Specially designed 3D printers would use regolith to create structures, minimizing the need to transport materials from Earth.

Luna boasts state-of-the-art technology, including advanced 3D printers for on-demand manufacturing, autonomous rovers for lunar surface exploration, and advanced AI systems for managing critical operations. Its power grid relies on solar panels combined with energy storage systems to provide continuous power during lunar night.It is a hub for cutting-edge lunar and space research, allowing scientists to conduct experiments in low-gravity conditions, study lunar geology, and investigate the Moon’s potential as a launchpad for further deep space exploration.

Watch Tower Passage

Form Development Luna is strategically positioned near the South Pole of the Moon, specifically within the Shackleton Crater. This location offers numerous advantages, including perpetual access to sunlight, which is vital for power generation through solar panels, as well as the presence of water ice in permanently shadowed regions, crucial for life support systems and rocket propellant production.

Construction and Design: The moon base’s construction was a collaborative effort involving multiple space agencies and private entities. The base is composed of modular, inflatable structures made of advanced materials to withstand the harsh lunar environment. These modules are interconnected through pressurized tunnels, creating a network of habitable spaces, research facilities, and storage areas.

Workshops Bricks and Bamboo

Design with Bamboo School of Planning and Architecture Bhopal (Design Department) SPA Bhopal in collaboration with MP Bamboo Mission, organized a 5-day workshop “Design with Bamboo” aimed at promoting Bamboo from 11th - 15th March 2024. The workshop was conceptualized to enhance Bamboo Design Skills, foster innovation, and instill an entrepreneurial mindset among participants. Artists, students, faculty, and industry mentors collaborated in groups to develop novel designs for bamboo products, furniture, and structural interventions.

It was an incredible experience where industry experts, faculty members, master artisans, students, and artisans came together to explore innovative ways of designing with Bamboo.

“Keep it in Mind, Kafkaesque” 2022 The unyielding desire for and answer or conquest over the existential problems of anxiety, guilt, absurdity and suffering. Paired with an inability to ever really understand or control the source of the problem and effectively overcome them. But even in the absurd circumstances we don’t give up, at least initially. We continue on and fight against the situations trying to reason, understand or work our way out of the selflessness, but in the end it is ultimately to no avail.

Perhaps, the struggle to find solace and understanding both is inescapable and impossible . As conscious rational beings, we fight against the absurdity, trying to resolve the discrepancy between us and the universe. But ironically we only serve to self perpetuate the very struggle we’re trying to resolve by trying to resolve the unresolvable. And in this sense on some level we almost want the struggle.

“Vagabond, Musashi Miyamoto” 2022 “Preoccupied with a single leaf, you won’t see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree…you’ll miss the entire forest. Don’t be preoccupied with single spot. See everything in its entirety… effortlessly…. That is what it means to truly ‘SEE’ !”
