Design Vision Hello ! Iam J. Charan pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Architecture from CMR School of Architecture Bangalore. Throughout my architectural school, I have tried to make a conscious effort to approach design as a process rather than an end product which has in turn inspired me to always look for the most holistic and cognitive solution to the design problem. I identify myself as a team player and a person who works closely into finding a relation between design , feeling and aesthetics.

PROJECT : Revival Green LOCATION : Kamraj Road, Bharathinagar, Bangalore SITE AREA : 2837 Sq.Mt. TASK : The task here was to come up with a proposal for a chosen site in Kamraj road based on the Urban studies of the whole surroundings of Kamraj Road LEARNING : Urban design gave me an insight on the importance of context responsive design. The Urban studies gave me an understanding of how the city functions, how the stakeholders play a major role in the context of any city. This also gave me a new perspective of looking at the cities.

The site is located at the centre of the main CBD of Bangalore. The site lies at the junction of the Kamaraj and the nala road..
DESIGN CONCEPT The concept was have an urban farm that slopes towards the nala and the kamraj road. The concept of having a pedestrian pathways across the site that connects two different roads eases the distance of access between these roads. Two major axis were considered in the orientation of the building cafe and the gardens . At the intersection of this axis is where the cafe, Govt. building and the market lies.

AXIS AND THE ZONING
The idea of an urban farm which is a fresh produce, green space for city dwellers, creating jobs and learning opportunities When the city turns its back to the Nala, we have proposed a WTP which treats the Nala water and uses it for the Urban farm The urban farm is welcoming to the residents through a bridge we have designed over the Nala. The urban farm could be rented out to a community formed by the local residents. The idea of a cloud kitchen and a cafe which uses the harvest from the urban farm and also to deliver them to the near by locations The stepped urban farm has a pedestrian pathway leading to the cafe A Pedestrian Pathway which connects two different roads passing through our site provides ease of access to the govt. offices, the cafe and the markets

LOCATION : Hebbal, Bangalore SITE AREA : 30,700 Sq. Mts. TASK : To Design medical centre for the animals and a Veterinary institute for the students who aspire to become vet doctors. LEARNING : This project gave me a thorough understanding of the scale since it was a bigger transition from other institutional projects. Also a deep understanding of how a veterinary hospital works and how the proximity of spaces correlate with each other to provide a better design .

SPORTS GROUND
CONCEPT The basic idea here to was to zone the buildings considering the ease to access by pedestrians and vehicles at the time of emergency . The concept was to respond to the existing vegetation by providing nodes of interaction by providing wide open to sky green spaces and courtyards at certain junctions. This is done considering the effect of lighting and the response of the green spaces to the program given and also to the human experience.

LOCATION : Bangalore SITE AREA : 900 Sq. Mt. TASK : Form and Facade treatment exercise using BAUHAUS style of architecture. LEARNING : This project gave me an insight on how art and science were used in Bauhaus architecture to create interesting facades with rhythmic play with flat planes and surfaces to create minimal yet beautiful forms.

A HOUSE BY THE LAKE KEREMANE, BANGALORE
Aim The aim of the project is to develop a 3 dimensional form responding to the BAUHAUS style and to compose the facade and to come up with a facade that responds to the architectural features of that style.
Existing Site Plan with Column layout
Key features of BAUHAUS Style
- “FUNCTIONALITY” over 1. “ORNAMENTATION. - “SPACE” OVER “MASS”. - Open floor plans. - Asymetric in form.

2.
The idea behind my concept- Since Bauhaus plans are open plans, the spaces are not differentiated by walls so this is seen in my design by1. Playing with volume of spaces. 2. Play with the levels. 3. Staggerinng of spaces. This was to respond to my site columns and to the levels present. 4. To provide more openings and balconies as a response to the context of the site.

Physical Model
- USERS - This is a housing for 3 families of closely related friends . -The basic idea was to have the spaces zoned depending on their nature like the workspaces opening towards the road as this space requires les privacy. - A common gathering space on the lakefront. - Also there is a play with the plains of the walls so as to give it bahaus facade also considering the interior function. - Spaces differentiation using levels. - Design considering the context.

TASK : The task here was to create a set of Working drawings from Floor Plans , Sections, elevations, wall sections, staircase details , toilet layouts to door window schedule for any selected project of ours. LEARNING : This task gave me a whole new insight that a building it is not only to do with the facade treatment, form and aesthetics but also the structural system that holds the building and the services that is provided in the building is what makes it more technically working.

TASK : To design the interiors for an Architect’s office LEARNING : This project gave me an understanding of how human emotions and Interiors go hand in hand. The colour theory and the emotions these colours evoke was what made this subject more interesting to me . This also gave me a wide exposure to the interior decors and hence explore the materials and the best suited way of using them .

ZONING PLAN The Task in this project was to design the interior spaces for a chosen profession for a given office building of fixed dimensions. The Profession chosen here was an Architect . The process for this interior design project was to start off with the Mood board that would accommodate all the interior decors and fixtures for an Archiects office and the possible paint colors and finishes that would enhance the spaces. Then following the above the Layout of the interior spaces was designed. Following the interior layout the 3d modelling and the form came about with selection and detailing of the interior decors .

WORKSHOPS
TASK : The tasks were to understand the material it’s nature and properties and to work as a group to come up with an interesting real life proposal within our college campus . LEARNING : One of the most common things that I learnt from this workshops is how as “one person we can do more , but through partnership with others we can do much more’’ This workshop thought me how important group work and coordination is in the result of huge projects and tasks . Also these workshops gave me deeper knowledge on certain materials and it’s properties and how each of these materials can be used to create innovative forms .

COB Cob is an old and primitive method of construtcion. It is a mixture of Soil, hay white cement and water. This workshop focuses on teaching us construction techniques using cob . The structure to be made is a seating below a tree . Cob provides cooling and here the seating is made up of layers of stones placed on top of each other with cob in between each layer.
F O U N D A T I O N
Finally a on top the stones are moulded with cob around and are let to dry .
OCULUS PAVILION Bamboo Oculus pavilion is a free standing bamboo kiosk which is made up of thin strips of bamboo tied together in the form of series of rings which are connected together with vertical bamboo strips . This workshop gives us the exposure on the properties and nature like the ease of workability with bamboo and how important bamboo as a material is . And it gives us an insight over all the interesting forms that can be created using bamboo.

IDENTITY PAVILION
These were the simple linear basic modules that were bolted together as a cross shaped module which was attached together by further by using nuts and bolts to create this huge archway structure. This structure is portable in a way as the whole structure can be dismantled to smaller modules and set up in different places .
KSHOPS
Identity pavilion designed in Barcelona, Spakmt by La Salle and URBANUS Architects. This is a pavilion that can span large distances only by using a simple method of connecting the modules. The aim of this foundation study was to replicate any architectural element and to give us a deeper understanding of the materials . The material chosen by us was MDF and prototypes were made to see how the structure works and stands together. The digital drawings were made and the individual modules were CNC cut and were bolted together creating a series of cross shaped modules.

Fibre glass etching is a technique where sharp pointed tools like needles are used to engrave any image onto a fibre glass. This glass is then used to make multiple prints of the engraving upon the application of paint and pressed down under a roller for printing. The etching seen above is the streets of Jerusalem. This was done over a period of 5 days .

Pen rendering is a method of using various rendering techniques using different methods of hatching using lines and dots and scribblings that would give us our desired texture . This technique also considers the light source as the main focal point of rendering and postive and negative spaces as well. The sketches shown on the top row are live sketching and rendering which gave me an understanding of the importance of the role of light and the textures that would add life to any possible natural materials. Stippling art ( rendering using dots) in Monochrome has always been my favourite technique of rendering to achieve my desired results.
