PA L I M PSE ST Hard infrastructure with monofunctional conceptions is viewed as standalone objects, away from human interaction. There is purpose FROM the structure but not OF it, especially after their design life. Re-imagining them as haptic spatial elements instead of optic would allow them to weave together communities instead of fragmenting them.

Such infrastructure has minimal capacity for human engagement. They focus on separating conditions rather than integrating them.

And in the long term, have bigger social and ecological repercussions. With the example of the submerged and defunct Hirebhaskara dam in Linganamakki reservoir, Sagar, Karnataka, this thesis claims that such a structure can be repurposed to a hybrid type. The construction of multiple dams on the Sharavathi river led to villages being submerged within the reservoirs, creating a man made island amongst other ecological repercussions.

THESIS

The people lost not only their homes but also their culture and memories of the land called ‘Kalenadu’. Current communities struggle to survive with lands handed down to them by the Government in Forest areas with barely any resources/ climatic conditions required for agriculture. With lack of any amenities in the ‘island’ the current generation is forced to move out. The plight of the people either seeking connectivity with the outside world or a selfsustained island leads to negative connotations towards any future infrastructure project on the river. This thesis will explore how to extend the axis of this forgotten structure to give back to the community and ecosystem, instead of newer proposals on the river.It addresses the issues of the immediate context to foster resilience and connectivity, thus re-building community and collective memory. It pieces together the narrative of the land by linking past functions and future possibilities, so that people associate the dam with better memories.

“ We can’t use that land. What use is the land here when it rains? Of course my son went outside to earn money. We got the bad end of this deal. They promised us so many things but I see none of them in reality.

So many of our temples have now drowned under the reservoir.

Our elders made a mistake asking for a ferry thinking bridge will cause problems but now we know how hard it is to get anything here. “

Boats and ferry as only means of transport “ When the ferry shut down due to covid lockdown i drove the ambulance from Sagar to take people from here to hospitals in the nearest cities and I used to work all day. I didn’t come back home for half a month at times.

We don’t have a police station here.

If i need to fight for my land in a law office I plan a 2 day trip to Sagar and back because after 6 pm you are stuck on either side of this man made island”

“Our family was displaced twice by both projects and we were given 13 acres of land in Purdal, our community was fully dispersed.

They have declared this area as a Wildlife Sanctuary and deny us amenities until we are forced to move again”

“We planted trees here on this land. We don’t have the land documents and we will never get them also”

The water level we had to travel kilometers to receeds in may and reach Sagar, the nearest hospital” we harvest one batch of crop and “Why should we allow Bangalore to take then its submerged water when we ourselves cant use it?

They plough lands belonging to KPCL for the rest of the and they cant even take water for year” agriculture, its only for hydroelectricity”

Site is located along Hirebhaskara dam which was the first among the 4 major dams along Sharavathi river in Sagar taluk in Karnataka, which is currently submerged in the water of the Linganamakki reservoir which stores more water.

Both dams cause relocation of multiple communities and submerged large areas of land and ecosystems.

Hirebhaskara dam was the 3rd and largest siphon dam system in India when it was built.

“We used to have multiple Yakshagana institues in this area. It was called Kalenadu.

Now only 2-3 of them remain.

We are jains in this area. Inititally because of the queen there were a lot of jains in this region ,now the basadis are in ruin ( you will find many on your way to jog falls on the western edge) and our gods are now in the museum near Liganamakki dam.

We would love to perform but we can’t arrange funds if people are not interested”

Highlighting the issues faced due to the nature of the context: 1- Social : Loss of land as it gets submerged in the reservoir, disconnect to mainland, declining local arts and culture without exposure 2-Nature: Fragmentation of habitat, misuse of forest land, decline of endemic species in the bio-diversity rich zone

Thesis is demonstrated at site of Hirebhaskara dam

The project identifies the cycle and layers existant in the context, analyses the issues faced around the year due to such cycles and proposes 3 major typologies for combating the problems. It is sensitive to both the natural cycles and man-made interventions and needs.

The project retrofits into the cycle as an added layer, without hindering the dynamics; in fact, it compliments it and allows effiecient use of the landscape.

Although the idea originates at an urban level, with consideration of the entire valley, the main focal point and first demonstration of the proposal is detailed as the thesis.

BRIEF .

Architecture acts as a lens to capture daily activities which happen within spaces

As a moving screen

The objective of this project was to design a film institute trying to maximise the functionality of the space and heighten the daily experiences within

Edge of promenade, create pause points

Linear actuators and bevels with metal clamps for fixing are used for the screens

The design has porous edges with strategically places voids which capture activities happening within the institute from the exterior whilst also framing the views of the outside from the interior

Plan and sections

While moving between formal spatial modules, the population can spill out and interact in areas created by the screen.

It slows down pedestrian movement , creating pause points like obsticles in an urban street

The existing architecture inside the campus, the view sheds, main circulation paths and acitivity mapping was done to inform the zoning

The Broken Library

Located in Jaipur inside Jantar Mantar Project type : Library, Public square

3 Grid structure in jaipur

BRIEF .

How multiple individual entities come together to create meaning in space~ This project started out with 6 cubes and a wall and how we can bring these elements togeher to create a functional yet interesting composition The design devides the wall into the cubes and these are scattered on site such that individually they perform various funtion but when put together they form the intitial wall

Why Jaipur?

Breaking down the cubes

Jaipur has a very rich history and culture. Along with this it boasts of on of the largest literary fstivals in India.

Attention is being given to improve the reading culture among people. A bookstore 10 minutes away from the literary festival is proposed as solution in the Jantar Mantar observatory

The cubes based on their function , acess contain recesses and extensions to emphasize said emotion. The addition of frame, plinth , courtyard etc., serves to define the closed boundary created by wall for each cube. Arched openings establish links with existing architecture and highlight the idea of solid and void.

The addition of frames creates views which lead the observer through the design subconsciously

Mandala

City planning of Jaipur is based on the Indian Shilpa Shastra. The mandala is usually a square of 3*3 to 9*9 but when applied to rectangles the perfect ration is described to be 1:1.5

Application The site is divided into 7*4 grid of 27 m .

The number 7 as well as 9 was very auspiscious as per the vastu shastra.

The instruments are inclined at a 27 degree angle

Creating the axis Identification of grid points for suitable location of project by studying axis , hierarchy and composition on site

URBAN DESIGN STUDIO

SELECTION OF SITES FOR THE STUDIO The three sites were selected after a study of the Vasantnagar region in Bangalore which was done in groups.

The sites identified best suited a public intervention which could weave together the current fragmented activities happening along the main road. The aim of the studio was to create convivial spaces which energise neighbourhoods.

CONVIVIALITY POSTER C H A R AC T E R O F C O N V I V I A L S PAC E S Multi-functional: The spaces designed can evole with the time and useage. The wall enable people to pull out seating which can also double up as a basket for carraying food from nearby bakeires to the gathering spaces. It enables daily workers like the milk and coffee vendors to have a more formal location along the street

Flexibility: The wall changes when a person interacts with it. For two people using the same space, the character of the wall depends on the previous person’s use. This creates spaces that are for the community yet affected by individual changes

This project is an attempt to understand to what extent basic or repetitive processes in the design process can be executed by AI- thus aiding the design.

The project looks at a typical residential design process and substitutes inputs from grasshopper where qualitative thinking is not necessary. The name ‘ugly design’ stems from the idea that any process based on Vaastu/ bylaws which is essential part of work does not necessarily include qualitative design thinking and hence can be automated- the ugly part before designing.

The two problems with generative design was discussed1. It needs a sample set of data for easier automation 2. It generates a large set of results which then need to be filtered as needed.

But the attempt is to understand if the process of designing a house- by a set of 6 architectscan be analysed to come up with quantitative interpretations for zoning and layout making which will streamline computer based results without a large pre-fed sample data set.

The process is divied into 4 parts: - The exterior - Stage 3 interior - Stage 1 interior - Stage 2 interior

Can sacred spaces be placed in the centre of the noisiest cities?~

scan for sound Stage 2 sectionNoise cancelling walls incorporated in spaceacoustically better than stage 1

At the time where it is becoming more and more different to get land in over crowded urban scenarios, we have to look for substitutes to large open lands for building quiet spaces. Yú-j is an endeavour to design sacred spaces at the nodes in well-developed cities.

Yú-j makes use of noise cancellation technologies and pressure sensitive tiles to environments within cities which are reminiscent of every individual sacred space.

Sound used well in conjunction to other senses can create spiritual experiences.

Yú-j studies and combines the patterns of sounds which are commonly encountered in various spiritual places and enhance user’s insight.

2. Duma House project was in the design stage when assigned. work done: - massing models - concept design - basic drawings - tender drawings - models ( digital and physical )

for Duma house the client approached with a narrow site, with ideas of constructing luxury apartments which provided the user an experience of living in an individual house. Barring Vaastu constraints, the plan attempts to open up the spaces to the outside with large green areas to create the illusion of a house on the ground at all levels.

Life on the Threshold:

The post-disaster reality of India’s Last Land - Danushkodi Within a span of 12 hours, Danushkodi went from a bustling trade center and pilgrimage to a melancholic ghost town in ruins. What was once a well-planned town is now home to only a handful of scattered fishermen.

Night 11:55 pm. December 22nd, 1964.

Train no.653, the Pamban-Danushkodi passenger train started its usual journey from Pamban with 110 people including a batch of students, pilgrims, and 5 railway staff. At Danushkodi outer, Arunachalam Kumaraswamy, the bridge inspector who was piloting the train, saw that the signal went out and stopped the train for a while. Owing to the lack of proper radio connectivity during that time, he assumed that the signal must have failed due to the heavy rains and decided to take the risk to continue forward. Moments later, a massive tidal wave of over 20 feet hauled the entire train into the ocean, making it the last day for everyone on board.

On that day, a cyclone which had originated in the South Andaman Sea 6 days prior, tore down the entire town of Danushkodi to rubble, with wind speeds reaching 280 km per hour and a death toll of over 1800.

The town, Danushkodi, lies to the South-East of Pamban, 15 km from Rameshwaram in India and around 29 km from Talaimannar in Sri Lanka. It shares the only land border between India and Sri Lanka, 45 meters in length on a shoal1 in the Palk Strait, often known as India’s last land.

Before disaster struck, this was one of the major hubs for transporting people and goods between India and Ceylon2. The Boat Mail, introduced by the British in 1914 for communication between the two countries under their control, connected Egmore in Chennai to Danushkodi pier via rail link and then to Talaimannar pier via ferry service, initially by ships named after English viceroys like Irwin and Koshan and later with the rise of Indian competitors, the Madras Maru. Passengers could further take the Talaimannar Fort Night Mail to Colombo from the pier.

The passengers traveling via Boat Mail had to undergo formalities like basic health tests and passport issues at Danushkodi. To cater to this, the town had well-planned public buildings like a hospital, railway office, church, Dharamshala3, school, mosque, church, and temples, all built in the British style. The houses were organized in clusters, easily accessible through a marketplace. Since these were built of stone or brick masonry, parts of these structures survive today as ghosts of the lively city.

But its significance as a trade link was not the only reason this city was frequented by visitors. The land of Danushkodi as mentioned in the Hindu epic Ramayana had immense mythological relevance to the people all over the country. It was believed that when Maa Sita was kidnapped by the demon king Ravana, Lord Rama, his devotee Hanuman, and the army of monkeys built the bridge, Ram Setu, to Lanka starting from here. The same in Islamic records could be found by the name Adam’s Bridge since it was believed that Adam crossed over to India from Sri Lanka through this bridge. The name Danushkodi also originates from the belief that Lord Rama destroyed the bridge with his bow after returning from their mission, Danush meaning bow, and Kodi meaning end.

Surprisingly, the only structure that remained intact after the cyclone, The Kothandaramar4 temple, was the place where Lord Rama is believed to have coronated Vibeeshana, Ravana’s brother, as the king of Lanka. A visit to this temple and a dip in the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean was considered sacred and usually preceded the pilgrimage to one of the Char Dham5, the Ramanathaswamy temple in Rameshwaram, adding value to Danushkodi that sat on the threshold of these oceans.

Former Indian President Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam, whose father managed a ferry business that transported pilgrims between Rameshwaram and Danushkodi, talks about how the locals here had learned to sleep through cyclones and storms since it was a frequent occurrence in the Bay of Bengal. Naturally, everyone in Danushkodi had assumed that things would return to normal within a few days, despite the heavy rains on the day of the 1964 cyclone. But 2 days later when the tragedy caused by the cyclone came to light by a bulletin from the railway headquarters, the Government declared the place unsafe for habitation.

Amidst the dilapidated structures of the past, a few fishermen’s families presently live in huts with thatched walls and roofs, and small wells that tap the sea aquifers for sweet water. Sometimes their children attempt to sell seashells to tourists who decide to visit the ghost town in awe of the marine wealth and natural beauty as well as the flock of migratory birds.

Danushkodi is fascinating for people of various backgrounds because of its vast expanses of beach scattered with city ruins, surrounded by astounding natural beauty, and shrouded in an air of somber memories and mythological tales. Visitors had to board a matador and travel over knee-deep, muddy seawater on bumpy roads to reach Old Danushkodi. But in 2016, the 9.5 km road link from Muhuntharayar Chathiram to Danushkodi was finished by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, making it simpler to get there.

Standing on the narrow strip of land after sunset, one feels small in comparison to the wide sea and the sky’s starry expanse.

Danushkodi is perched on the cusp of exciting and eerie, wedged between two oceans, bridging two nations, and a site of veneration with the fear of impending doom.
