HI!
I am Devika Patil, a 4th year architecture student at the School of planning and architecture, New Delhi.

Architecture to me is creating spaces of meaning and experience. I’d describe myself as very resourceful and ambitious. I am open minded, creative and unshakably optimistic.
When I decided to pursue Architecture, I didn’t exactly know where the journey would take me. Now 4 years into the course, it has always been a great learning experience and a medium for me to pick up and assemble the imaginary pieces of my mind and express myself.

The Circle of life
TOP 10 // Competition Entry // Retreat Centre Design GROUP OF 3 // 2022 Archiol Retreat Centre Design Competition
Sitting beyond the tributary of the Padma river is the Circle of Life. The retreat surrounds itself with the sounds of the waves as the ferry passes by. It brings on itself the aim to achieve a blissful state of mind by targeting all seven chakras of the body of the visitors. The openness of the curved spaces, derived from the glowing in the impure lotus, allows for interaction not just with nature but the unknown lives of hundreds surrounding them. As the sun rises and glows upon the crops growing beyond the retreat center, a fresh new morning awaits every day.
The Karamuddikatan Statue
The 11th Century Solid Black Granite Statue is visited by tourists from India and abroad to seek blessings, as stories about its immense healing energy have spread far and wide. The Statue has lost its importance over time. The Retreat looks to rejuvenate the Karamuddikatan Statue and give back the importance of the piligrimage site by relocating the Statue within the Retreat. The culture of Buddhist retreat follows the teachings and learnings of principles and not God,retaining inclusivity of all.

SITE

The Circle of Life in an inclusive Buddhist retreat near the existing Karamuddikatan Statue of Buddha in Allepey, Kerala. The site chosen has been split into two sides across the river to assemble a natural biosphere. The existing agriculture fields and landscape align with the Buddhist views of the retreat.
Site location : Allepey, Kerala

C O N C E P T
THE EIGHTFOLD PATH
The Circle of Life integrates the principle of the Eightfold Path followed by the Buddhists in the different zones. These spaces and the spatial axes stand in harmony with the Buddhist Chakra.


The 7 Chakras
The retreat aspires to unblock the 7 chakras (or energy channels of the body) to allow the free-flowing positive energy through the body throughout the stay.
Form
Since the lotus grows in muddy water, it symbolises the purity of the enlightened mind arising amidst the sufferings. The forms and curves are inspired by the lotus petals and derived into the spaces.

FORM


A circle is very significant in Buddhism. The 7 Chakras, the Dharmchakra, and the snails on the Buddha’s head are circular. Circles signify that life is everything and progressing.
The concept is also one of the central principles of the Three Universal Truths in Buddhist philosophy. In addition to the circle, the derivative forms of the lotus petals segregate the spaces from each other.








छाँव
The essence of community
Semester 4 // Academic work // Crafts centre design INDIVIDUAL WORK // 2021
Instructors : Prof.Jatinder Kaur, Ar.Suparna Ghosh, Prof.Vikas Gandhi, Prof.Kapil Mathur
Located at the Heart of Delhi, ‘‘ छाँव’’ crafts centre aims at honoring the dying crafts of Gujarat and bring together the communities through interactive design.

The crafts centre provides teaching and propogation of the crafts along with its other functions like exhibition, museum, recreational spaces, all connected with numerous green spaces and transitional semi-open spaces.

I The Essence of Community
CONCEPT
Dividing spaces based on functionality into 4 zones
BUFFER SPACES
Built masses enclose the central spaces, and create mutual shading
Defining a central space with a water body by tying up the zones
Planting maximum trees on the site ensures aesthetic green buffer spaces and shading of the open spaces and pathways and also minimal heat gain within the building
The central water body insulates the built masses from heat gain and cool the overall environment
The built masses open into private courts as well as the central courts which acts as the prime interaction zone for the users and a shaded buffer zone
Providing Semi-open spaces with Pergola to create transition spaces for each zone thus ensuring comfortable user experience thus creating shaded interactive spaces

GROUP OF 2 // December 2021
Instructors : Dr.Shweta Manchanda, Dr.Deepti Gupta, Ar.Ashwani Dutta, Ar.Kinshuk Agarwal
Partnered with Tribhuvan University, Department of Medicine to create net-zero energy, water, and waste, climate-resilient educational building for students pursuing super-specialty courses in Kathmandu.
The approach to this design is to anchor on the values of climate-responsive strategies based on passive technologies influenced by the vernacular practices while respecting the native bye-laws, building codes, and the cultural and historical background, while focusing on energy efficiency and leading to a sustainable building.

PASSIVE STRATEGY
The major heating load is taken care of by the passive strategy used.


The DOAS system was required to provide minimum air exchanges (scheduled to operate during winter months), which increased the optimized EPI after EPD Optimisation from 10 back to 35.3.
Due to the incorporated passive strategy, summers require only minimum air exchanges, which are being provided using ceiling fans, and a 2-degree drop in temperature, also achieved by using ceiling fans, as per the UC Berkeley lab tested report on HVAC Systems.
Passive Strategy in Summer
Comfort temperatures are being achieved in the summers without the use of cooling and ventilation systems.
Passive Strategy in Winters
The solar heat gain was being retained due to the efficient building envelope throughout the day.
BUILDING FORM & ENVELOPE

Envelope optimization was done by optimizing the glazing, wall, and roof envelope. Multiple envelopes were simulated using design-build er and envelopes having suitable U-Values as per Super ECBC Standards as well as locally available materials were chosen to reduce heat loss by up to 75%.

Vijeet ShowinShah Nair Mansi Singh Jyotsana Rawat Devika PatilCHHATRI A

This Chhatri commemorates Maharawal Gaj Singh, who died in 1846. it is made in the trabeated style of architecture. The dome is octagonal and is corbelled to taper at the top. A Kalasha adorns the top. At the centre of the unpraised plinth is a commemorative stone with a carving of the king and his wife.
CHHATRI B
Adjacent to chhatri A, we have the chhatri of Maharawal Salivahan Singh III. It has a form quite different from the latter. As the dome resembles that of a mosque locals say, it was made by the workers inspired by the style of Mughal architecture. The ribbed dome structure is recent as compared to the above chhatri.
