HIMANI VYAS

I am currently pursuing B. Arch. in the Fourth Year at Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies.

I have always had a zeal for Architecture. This has helped me evaluate and improve myself as well as developing new skills constantly. I readily assume responsibilities when needed and am open to criticism. This always makes me want to explore and learn more intuitively. Studying architecture has allowed me to develop an array of skills, making me a more versatile and capable student. During project work, I have cultivated leadership and organizational skills to achieve a desired goal. I look forward to pushing the boundaries of creativity and contributing to the creation of spaces that inspire and enrich lives. I am open to growth through critique, and eager to explore and learn.

Oblique: Distorting Time

The perception of time can vary depending on the level of engagement or relaxation of the mind. When the mind is in a deeply relaxed or highly engaged state, time can seem to be distorted or stretched, altering one’s perception of its passing. This is especially true for activities that require complete immersion and mental focus.

Chidambaram is renowned for its rich cultural heritage of dance, music, and poetry. Traditionally, these art forms were practiced in natural settings within trees and near ponds. Practitioners often experience a distortion of time, losing themselves in the creative process. Sitting in nature has also been known to enhance this experience, fostering a deeper connection to the environment and providing a serene atmosphere that supports artistic expression.

Surrounded by the trees, the open gathering and seating areas offer a peaceful atmosphere, helping visitors to relax and tap into their creativity. The Traditional Chidambaram dance was typically performed in natural settings, near ponds, in homage to this tradition, the dance stage appears to float atop a pond with an open amphitheater for the visitors creating an immersive experience.

This design creates an immersive experience that pays homage to the region’s cultural heritage, all while encouraging visitors to engage with and appreciate the timeless art forms of Chidambaram.

Recycling Center

Govandi, Mumbai

Architecture Design Studio | Semester V 2022 02

On the outskirts of Shivaji Nagar, Govandi, the design intervention addressed waste management challenges while empowering local women. At present, waste accumulation at a central junction has created a foul odour and sewage water leakage.

The community’s women play a central role by collecting and segregating waste materials such as newspapers, plastic and glass from the streets. This effort forms the foundation for a unique project of creating art from recycled materials like paper mache vases, which provides these women with a livelihood. This community designed center is crucial to the welfare of the locality, serving as a hub for waste collection and segregation and art station for the women making art out of the recyclable materials like plastic, paper, and glass.

However, these women face multiple challenges as many are mothers caring for young children, limiting their work hours. Recognizing this need, the center includes a children’s creche, allowing mothers to work on their art and earn without compromising child care.

This recycling center goes beyond waste management; it fosters community bonds among women collaborating on art projects, promoting camaraderie and shared purpose. Additionally, it empowers women economically and socially by providing a sustainable income source.

In conclusion, the recycling center in Shivaji Nagar exemplifies community-led solutions and positive change in challenging circumstances. This initiative tackles waste management, empowers women and serves as a symbol of resilience and transformation within the community.

Boat Building School

Uttan, Mumbai

Architecture Design Studio | Semester IV 2022

This studio focused on understanding the geographical and cultural context of a fishing coast of Uttan and how it shapes the development and structure of a town. Located on a fishing coast, Uttan was shaped by the very waters it depended on, and this served as the foundation for a visionary program. At its core, the program sought to bridge the needs of the local residents and the visiting boatmakers from distant cities who were integral to the town’s economic survival.

Uttan’s livelihood is hinged on the expertise of boatmaking, a tradition passed down through generations. Each year, skilled boatmakers were contracted to craft the boats that sustained the town’s fishing industry. However, the visiting boatmakers faced a unique challenge - they had to live in temporary acomodations built near the homes of Uttan’s residents. This presented an opportunity for the intervention to provide housing and workspace infrastructure for them.

The design was inspired from the construction process of the boats. The boats required a scaffolding type of joinery for their ribs. Recognizing the shared spirit of craftsmanship between boatmaking and building, the design was proposed to use the scaffolding concept for the entire community’s architecture that the community could actively engage in constructing and maintaining these spaces, fostering a sense of ownership and unity.

This approach resonates with Uttan’s rich boatmaking heritage and also empowers the community to contribute to its growth. Self-sufficiency & tradition are promoted through this design and the bonds of the community are strengthened with the help of the artistry of its people.

DESIGNING A COMMUNE

Dahanu, Mumbai

Landscape Studio | Semester VI 2023

Dahanu has a varied ecosystem, making it one of the few eco- sensitive zones. A commune intervention aims to respond to the various resources available in relation to the existing activities around them.

Planting specific species of trees along the creek’s edge to stabilise the soil, collecting rainwater and surface runoff in water bodies created with the help of natural depressions on site, allowing tourists to engage with the landscape via trails across these water bodies, and treating the creek water through phytoremediation to provide cleaner water for prawn farming, thereby eliminating the bleaching process.

Provision of villas for tourists and dorms for the community, as well as a kitchen garden for selfsufficiency. Waste collection and segregation, which is then composted; grey water treatment using a reed bed system, which allows the water to be reused. Converting the existing chikoo auction house into a retail and wholesale market for chikoo and prawns.

Creating a pavilion with cafes in close proximity to the market to provide a space for recreation.

Chidambaram

The Make of a South-Indian Temple Town

KRVIA Study Trip Exhibition | Semester VI 2023

In Collaboration with KRVIA 2020-25 Batch Students

Chidambaram is a prominent temple town situated in Tamil Nadu, India which is renowned for its Nataraja Temple at its core. The essence of this study revolves around the creation of this temple town, with the Nataraja Temple serving as its pivotal epicenter. The study documents the town through a network of small narratives that are intricately woven into its urban fabric. These narratives serve as a connection between the town’s physicality to its rich historical heritage and legends associated with the temple.

Furthermore, the study delves into the fascinating dynamics of institutions within the temple town’s architectural framework and how it makes a community. The study of this instituion is focused on the way in which architecture of the temple town leads to the formation of the community around it. It helps understand the relationship between the institution of the temple and the city around it. The diagram of the town creates fields and hierarchies that radiates from the center to the periphery.

The fabric in the panel is thoughtfully designed to serve as a geographical map, locating distinct communities and narrating their unique stories. The choice of colors for rendering pays homage to the colorful Gopurams of the temple and character of the vibrant town of Chidambaram.

Bhopal 26 Ways Of Seeing

In Collaboration with KRVIA 3 Students 07

KRVIA Study Trip Exhibition | Semester V 2022

Apart from the vast variety of trees found in Bhopal, wild vegetation also acts as a very unique space generator. Overgrown shrubs found in drains, plants emerging from cracks and crevices and similar unattended green patches give rise to distinctive ways of utilization. An example of this lies in the peculiar way a parking space is created in the fringe of a wild lush bush growing out of the drain at the edge of a road.

When out of gas supplied by the municipal co-operation, the residents of the settlement use alternatives such as wood and cow dung. The wood is first dried for a few months after which it is ready to be used and the cow dung is stored in the form of dung cakes.

Cows are found in abundance in most of the informal settlements in Bhopal. Most of them are observed with a tag in their ear which indicates ownership, unmarked cows would also roam freely. Each tag has a twelve digit number and a frequency chip which enables tracking once they are out grazing.

The pergola-like structure with fresh leaves of Mango and Jamun is called a “mandap” where the bride and groom get married. Such structures could be seen in front of most of the houses in the settlement which are kept as it is for a few months after the marriage even when the leaves dry up.The structure consists of bamboo which are tied together to form a grid on the top and is supported from the vertex.

Stones in the settlement are used to mark boundaries between two houses to mark their areas. The stones are stacked on one another and are of different kinds. Stones of one kind with similar shape and size are also used to form a fence of a house.

Cow dung, sourced from domesticated cows has a wide spectrum of usage. As a result of its high nitrogen content, it makes an ideal natural fertilizer. Along with its cooling properties, it is laid over the ground or applied on the exterior walls as for beautification.

Khotachi Wadi Memoryscape

Reading Urban Spaces:Memories & Indentity

Elective conducted by Andre Baptista | Semester VI 2022

In Collaboration with KRVIA 20 Students

Featured in “This Ground, Plus: Khotchi Wadi in Design Context”

Curated by Andre Baptista and C&L Design at 47-A-Design Gallery, Khotachi Wadi, Girgaum, Mumbai

Khotachiwadi is an enclave nestled within the bustling metropolis of Mumbai. Its origins trace back to the 19th century when East Indian Christians, the city’s original inhabitants, established this unique village as part of Mumbai’s expansion.

The concept of the “memoryscape” in Khotachiwadi aims to serve as a welcoming gateway, inviting people to immerse themselves in this space steeped in coexistence, affection, and an abundance of personal stories and experiences that resonate with all who encounter them. It acts as an interpretation of the collective memory of this place.

One of the striking features of Khotachiwadi’s architecture is its ability to foster close-knit communities. The ground-level structures, winding alleyways, street-facing windows, and inviting balconies or verandas all contribute to a design that encourages people to stay connected and engaged with their neighbors.

However, the beauty of Khotachiwadi faces a threat from the encroaching development that surrounds it.
