ECOTOUR VILLAGE RETREAT project : year : semester : genre : site :

Architectural thesis 2016 10th eco-retreat Hindla village, Gujarat, India

project brief The development of a tourism facility within a rural setup using local resources for its construction and management. The basic intent of the program would be to learn and adapt from the rural lifestyle whilst enjoying the nature, and co-existing with the local context.

site Hindla is a medium size village located in Songadh taluka of Tapi district, Gujarat. The region is characterised by hilly terrains while the ground is rocky and caters to many stone quarries outisde the town. The site is connected to Songadh town through SH-173 while the town is served by the NH-6.

4 ZONE

3 ZONE

The design of the retreat employs four levels of terrain with an interval of 2 metres between the zones. Movement within the site is enhanced and guided by a swale that drains the surface run-off into the retention tanks and the river.

The basic idea behind the masterplan design is to maintain the organic fabric of a rural settlement and incorporate. The clusters are thus organised so as to replicate hints from the experinces of a rural settlement.

CMR UNIVERSITY: design competition project : year : semester : genre : site :

Master plan design competiton 2015 9th Institute Chagalhatti, Bangalore

project brief The competition project for CMR Group involved proposing a master plan of the CMR University and detailing its engineering department block as apart of their phase 1 development. The future expansion aspects and lake development schemes were also incorporated in the proposal.

site The campus site is situated between 2 tanks; Srinivasapura Kere and Jagalatti Kere, on a high groundridge, grading down towards low grounds. A distinctive feature of Bangalore’s regional landscape is the recurrence of man-made tanks, or keres.

The site has an average width of 170m and an overall length of about 1100m. A streak of black granite boulders runs through part of the site, which is otherwise predominantly red earth. There are two abandoned open stone quarry pits within the site. The site terrain slopes down from the western to eastern edge, negotiating a total level drop of about 20m down to ChagalhattiKere.

master plan Along the course of group discussions most common of the concerns and ideas were shortlisted and deliberated upon. The final proposal thus consists of layers of the design strategies illustrated as : 1. zoning 2. orientation of the built 3. circulation 4. unbuilt spaces

built form Buildings follow a 24x 24m module in two variations: a linear 24x 98m wing alternates with an array of 3-4 blocks of 24x48 m oriented perpendicular to the long block.

The program had been divided into phases of construction period; the engineering block being the phase I development.

Multiple design strategies : submerge - part basement, fill-berm- raised podium, transparency at podium level, stepped back building massing above.

BHAT FARMHOUSE project : year : semester : genre : site :

Weekend Family Retreat 2015 9th Residential Pali, Maharashtra

project brief Bhat farmhouse is a weekend retreat place designed for the Bhat family in the outskirts of Pali town in Maharshtra. The retreat consists of a single large space for family sitting and dining with a pantry and a more private bedroom space. The clients wanted the place to be more casually rather than formal rooms mostly for leisure with family or friends.

site Pali is a town in Raigad district, Maharshtra. The site is located southwards off the Bombay-Goa highway in a village called Apatwane 10kms from Pali.

Pali has a tropical climate. During most months, there is significant rainfall and a short dry season. The average annual temperature is 26.7 °C. Most prominent wind direction being from west and southwest for almost half of the time of the year. Rest of the times it blows from eastwards.

built form Understanding the client profile, and site context factors, certain design concerns were laid down as : 1. The program must be optimized to accomodate multi-functional spaces.

2. An open plan form, permeable fenestration and extended plinth to connect with the outside spaces.

3. Services like toilets and basins must be condensed to a single zone to free up spaces.

4. Incorporate design elements like louvers, double layered facade creating selectively permeable fenestrations and stilts to accomodate the drop in terrain and allow free surface run off.

5. The materials like steel and concrete would be preferably used.

facade design evolution

Stage 1: The structural components are projected in the elevation while the skin is like an infill in between the structure. The openings are kept as a provision for the proposed louver system

Stage 2 : The structural members are extended out upto the plinth edge to free up internal spaces, and provide for a double layered facade.

The openings remain.

Stage 3: The extended structural members provide surface for the addition of the second skin of proposed louvers.

Stage 4 : The roof profile of is sloped towards the west to allow in morning light and to provide for the rainwater run-off

DEMOLITION SERIES 7 project : year : semester : genre : site :

Exhibition installation 2013 -

project brief The various installations under the ‘Demolition series’ aim to take viewers on a spatial journey across India. Each installation captures a seemingly permanent physical structure in a city, town or village at a specific moment in time.

Each installation is a part real, part fictional representation of a structure. There are no captions on the walls, so viewers can interpret the work on their own terms.

process The rural settlement around Alibaug were studied and documented as one of the subjects to be represented under the ‘Demolition series’. The model of the settlement was construted to life like detail using various forms of copper metal.

Copper sheets, wires and foils are oxidised using different chemical oxidising agents like acids and direct heat in order to achieve the patina that would resemble the appearance and the notional theme that rural settlement displays.

The materials we tried to depict using copper were interwoven Palash leaves, straw and Sag wood.

Oxidised copper wires twisted into strands represents the structural wooden frame and branches and the leaves and straws were made out copper sheets cut to scale,oxidised and engraved. While the bases were layered using copper foils.

The models made in brick are scaled representation of the brick formwork used in rural households where bricks with mud mortar are used as support structures and dismanteled and the masonry gets settled.
