Setu Kendra [An Institution that bridges Villagers and Government ] Setu Kendra : Setu means ‘ Bridge ‘ and Kendra means ‘ Institution.

Batons

Program Intended to design a Training center that can be multipurpose along with dedicated community space for Villagers

The Spaces Directly connects By the Use of Louvered Formal Zone with the village. Due to this the Monopitch truss light intensiInformal Zone presence of institution becomes ty can be controlled . subtle .

Institution is divided into Two zones : Formal zone and Informal zone

Monopitch Truss

Site Area : 170sq mt The site is in Slope It works as a Edge To the road and directs to the Village side.

It also Has Public edge which is dedicated to Villagers .

Contextual Housing Dwellings for 11 Families The Program Intended to design Dwellings for 11 families in the respect of the Macro and Micro context of the Site. The site was located in the city of Bundi, Rajasthan.

I intended to give Dwellings its own identity and yet be in balance with existing typologies of Bundi and also to provide a hierarchy of Open spaces for Immediate Neighbourhood

Closed Space Semi open Space

Plan Of House was derived from 9 Square Grid .

Center : Open Sides: Semiopen Corners : Closed Spaces

Module 1 : Plan for a Big Family . It Is derived from further dividing 9 square into further 9 divisions .

Module 2 : Plan for a Smaller family . As per the functional needs 6 square are taken and further modified.

PLan tpe 2 : Hose for A Small family

Site Area : 1100 sq mts.

The site has contur drop of 4.75 metres.

The main concept behind the staggering of the house is that it creates an opportunity to create public spaces So due to it there is a Hierarchy of Open spaces is created which serves the neighborhood.

Janana Aarogya Kendra Pediatric Semi Special ward

Hospital For Womens And Children

Pediatric Special ward

Gynec Special ward

The Program was to design a Healthcare centre i.e. Janana Aarogya Kendra : Healthcare centre for Womens and Children . As the function of this program is critical the Spaces are being designed with utmost care and understanding the nature of function .

Gynec Semi Special ward

The design is functionally divided into two zone : a. Gynec b. Pediatric Further it is divided into two zones : 1. Out patient department 2. In patient Departments

Form Circle was taken to get maximum exposure of Sunlight and ventelation and Center as Courtyard .

Site has many prominent features among which is A Huge Banyan tree These Banyan tree acts as a Pivot for the site . So My response in design is that the Main entrance of the hospital is just opposite that tree Under the Shade.

Measure Drawingss [a] Bundi , Rajasthan , India Measured drawings are a part of the Related study Program [ Rsp ]. This program intended To study the Housing typologies of a particular community or a Town. Moreover, it intended to understand the Spatial organization along with Climate, Structural and Material responses.

Bundi is located in the Valley surrounded by Hillocks of the Aravalli range and posses Hot and dry climate. Construction in this region is done with Stone Masonry. Moreover due to the warm climate streets are narrow and Most of the houses follow 9 Square Grid Plan. So due to Climate , use of Courtyard, Chajja, Jarukhas Are seen prominently.

Measure Drawingss [b] Vadodara , Gujarat , India The Following Related Study Programme [ Rsp ] was Intended to measure the Institution which was made during the Colonial period . So intention was to study and understand The Spatial organisation of the Formal Institutes specially Educational Institute , Hospitals , Training Centres along with its gradual change in use of materials and elements.

This particular building is called as District Institute of Education and Training [ DIET ] office.

It was commisioned in 1914 by the King Sayajirao Gaekwad III for the Purpose of Men’s Training but now currently it is used as B.Ed college and Teacher’s training Institute under Gujarat Government .

Hands On Materials

Ferrocement Workshop

[b] Vadodara , Gujarat , India Siporex Blocks : We Carved the block as per our composition . Later These were Used as Installation for our College Campus

Cement Plates : It was casted into mould of 6” x 6 “ .

Tounge and Groove Joint

Concrete blocks : It was casted to check its compressive strength .

Tenon Mortise Joint

Terracota Plates : It was casted As part of Mika Workshop.

Tying the reinforcement Bars which is skelton.

Tying of Wire Mesh on reinforcement bars.

Applying the layer of Mortar

Shell

Plaster of Paris Plates : Firstly the plate was casted and later as per our design it was carved .

Tenon and Mortise shown seperately

Wood Workshop : The Workshop was conducted to understand the possibilites and limitations of Bio material : wood .So to Understand , varoius Joinery from wood was made without using any Adhesive.

These joint were to be carved without using any machinery so it was Carved using : Chisel , Hammer , Saw

Ferrocement Workshop : It was Conducted by Ar. Arjun Doshi To understand and work with the material . Basically main content of Ferrocement were : Mesh + Cement + Sand.

So we constrcted a Shell out of a Ferrocement which act as a roof for the Canteen wash area in our College campus

Miscellaneous works

Contur Measurement and Analysis of its Form : We were assigned a Site Out of city to measure and map the Contur drop . So we mapped the whole contur by taking lateral and transverse section at every 3m . So it Forms 3m x 3m grid in plan later contur drop at every point is measured which resulted in mapping of Contur whose drop resulted is 30m. So a. Each sticks represent distance = 3m b. Transverse and Lateral Sections c. Understanding the ridge and valley

A Change which changes the dimension of HOW a bypass is Designed that enhances multi-functionlity and city experinces.

- Multi-functionality - Connecting •old port •new port •city shores •railway

HYPERREAL OR IMAGINED CITIES tend to be ideal which normally doesn't manifest as we cannot control the movement of human. But, that's what we tried to be as we often like the proceess achieving it. People will become saturated if their surrounding is full-filled.

- Fishery activities are enhaced by designing separate spaces for commercial and their individual residences.

c.

INITIAL STAGE Passing through outskirts of city

PROPOSED DESIGN FOR Hyperreal City Proportionally at primary roads new commercial lines are proposed so that intensity of commercial market gets decentrallised and gives an ease to city congestion.

2. GSEN Trophy [ NASA 2019 ]

Betwixt Design your dream home : Archasam The competition aims at designing the house of your dreams.

Betwixt : Where Outside meets Inside . Overlooking the Infinite Ocean, the house sits on a beautifully crafted landscape The panoramic view provides you with a feeling of harmony with nature combining inner environment with the surrounding landscape.

The House expands the perception of space as the infinity pool lets you wander across the horizon and make the architecture exquisite.

The House merges with Ocean in the front and jungle in the back and act as a seamless transition of Built and nature thus creating a Harmony Between Human and nature
