DEVANSH GOSHAR
“ I am a highly motivated, creative and detail oriented person. A hands-on team player and a strategic thinker. I am passionate about design and a believer in rigorours performance standards. In a society of constant social change, climate change and material scarcity; I believe that architecture needs to be highy efficient in its spatial, material, structural and environmental performance. Such quality can be achieved through the use of sound logic, collabration at every level of the design process, technology and computational power we posses today. I am also interested in fashion and product design. I am willing to put in sincere effort to extend and expand my skills to be a valuable part of your team.”

1. Phoenix
As London grows, RCC buildings are being demolished prematurely and replaced with new developments within city centres. This presents a significant opportunity for the reuse of materials, as it is estimated that this massive demolition waste can be reused in creating as much as 4 million sqm of spaces.
Project Phoenix employs structured deconstruction to mine concrete quads from these proposed buildings for reusing them in new construction. To investigate the potential of the reusing concrete quads to create new and exciting spaces, Curved Crease Folding (CCF) is used as the primary design method for generating form. 3D CCF forms can be rationalised using 2D planar quads allowing for the use of reused concrete quads to create component based spatial modules. Further, CCF forms can be assembled from 2D to 3D by actuating specific points in the geometry thus simplifying fabrication processes.
Further, the concept of Genotypes and Phenotypes is employed in the design of spatial assets to allow for mass customisation and mass production making the design more user centric.
Finally, a gamified platform that helps stakeholders reach consensus, implements architectural proposals, enables users to visualize and interact with their environment in a virtual space is coded.
Learnings: Material ID systems, Genotypical and Phenotypical Systems, creating new structural tectonics, participatory tools and platforms, gamfication and negotiation, architectural geometry.

2. Fishy Mumbai
The proposed Fish Market at Sassoon Dock is desogned to replace the existing dilapidated Fish Market. The market is designed to meet the demands of fish processing and selling in a contemporary and elegant fashion. The builidng also acts as a cultural spot for several tourists who visit this area due to it’s cultural significance on the history of Mumbai. The builidng aims to seamlessly integrate tourist friendly activities and more funtional requirements of fish market within a fishing port at large.
Learnings: Inegration of Public Space within a builidng, Resolution of spaces within curved forms, inegrating exisitng systems with a contemporary resolution, facade design and rationalisation.
Skills Developed: Planning Curved Forms, Facade Detailing, Rendering on Twin-Motion.

3. 3D Drawing Machine
Taking inspiration from architects such as Antonio Gaudi and Frei Otto, this project too focuses on developing architectural form using 3d Drawing Machines. Initially elastic string and fabrics are pulled at certain points with specific weights, solidified and inverted to provide us with compression friendly shells. These shells can be extremely thin as their formal geometry is devired using forces of nature which follow specific load lines.
Further, this process is shifted into the digital realm to simulate these natural forms, rationalise fabrication and assembly processes using robotics.
Learnings: Using 3d drawing machines to produce form, understanding digital rationalization of shells, use of 6 axis robotic arm, assembly heirachy and procedure.
Skills Gained: Grasshopper Simulations, coding 6 axis robot, 3d Scanning using Lidar.

From.... Permanence
Award : Best Design Dissertation
Study suggests that the average lifespan of the building has dropped from 100 years to mere 30-40 years after which the site is cleared through demoltion, paving the way for new development. Buildings designed today consider a linear approach and result in demolition waste, wastage of material with longer use life and loss of embodied energy when demolished.
Present challenges of climate change, rapid urbanization, increasing cost and scarcity of construction materials provides an incentive to designers to design builidngs that consider the entire lifecycle of the building and its end of life.
This project proposes a mixed use tower that considers the working life-of the builidng through scenario buffered planning, flexible design through adaptations and transformation of spaces and services of the building.
Further, the building considers for end of life disassembly through component based design, standarization of components, using materials with high material loop potential, design of mechanical connections and storing material data in form of material passports allowing for future reuse and recyling
Learings: Flexible Space Planning, Cordination of Structure and Spaces, Material Life Cycles and research, disassembly processes, scenario buffered planning, component based design, mixed use spatial negotiations.
Skills Gained: Rhino 3d and Grasshopper, Creating and Understadning reading Climatic Data on Climate Consultant, Designing Mechincal Connections, LCA tools, Lumion Rendering.
