"Architecture is not about the walls, it's about the space with in them" -

JITESH. B S

Greetings, I am Jitesh.BS As a fourth-year student of architecture at the Chennai Academy of Architecture and Design, I’ve come to understand that architecture is more than just walls and roofs; it’s a tool for creating meaningful environments that connect with people and the environment.

I personally believe that architecture has a social obligation to positively affect society and the built environment, which makes me more interested in designing meaningful spaces that foster community interaction.

I want to improve my knowledge, critical reasoning skills, and problem-solving talents. I am more interested in gaining practical knowledge and discovering new approaches to work as architect.

CHATHURA

RESIDENCE

Abstarct

Located in Surapet, Chennai, a housing project named Chathura.

The planning is done using a grid; the word “chathura” implies “square and creative.” The proposal includes a small three-bedroom house and a shop with parking on the ground level. Despite Chennai’s hot, humid weather, setting up a courtyard will assist in preventing hot air , lower temperature, and create a stack effect. Vertical louvres function as a shade mechanism as well. Due to the site’s location at a corner intersection and the shop’s location on the ground level, which poses a concern for privacy, the facade feature serves a dual purpose.

The housing is planned like duplex courtyard act as a visually connecting space . It is a transition space which connects the residence with street.

• By taking into account the site’s traffic, the three entrances for three different forms of activity separate the circulation, and the two parking spaces—one for residents and the other for urban amenities and office space—create a balanced circulation.

• Additionally, the massing is carried out in accordance with the activity’s typology and open space and connecting space.

• The activities of people vary according to their ages and employment status.

In Hindu culture, it is said that burning a body outdoors next to a body of water will link the five elements.

Form Titration

• The entrance’s seven pillars stand in for the seven chakras and phases of moksha.

• Cold rooms and embalming area are included in the crematorium’s building designs. Each burial and burning rite is divided into two sections, with space for family ritual practises. suppressed burial ground covered with tree line act as a visual barrier.

A project on national institutions of design named Nalandha is an institution. Nalandha University, which previously existed in India, is the source of inspiration for one of the oldest universities in the world. Nid’s planning is divided into two blocks: the institutional building, that contains all of the studios, lecture halls, etc.; and the workshop area and living space. The entire campus is built as a green structure with offices and areas for student activities.

Form Titration

• Patterns are developed perpendicularly from each shape of site

• The building footprint is developed on the basis of the Pattern 2 block with 4 divisions on a 30 and 60 degree angle.

• The same pattern is repeated again on the next floor by rotating it on the opposite side.

• The ground floor is repeated again on the final floor to maintain the core and connectivity.

The over all concept is about fabrication of different spaces together and creating new space and interconnecting them. The circulation is based on connection of space which act as main element of connecting space together.

Creating the interconnection between space will help in maintaining the space active even though it is not in use

CONCEPTUAL SKETCHES

• Bridges connecting the spacetogether in different levels.

• Using the levels as cafeteria.

• Corridor with levels and walls as space for art peace.

• Creating the interconnection betweenspace will help in maintaining the space active even though it is not in use.

• Ots with vegetation
