Health, Well-being and HVAC
The proposed system for our institutional building is a combination of a ground source heat pump along with a Dedicated Outdoor Air System. While the ground source heat pump takes care of the latent heat load, the DOAS takes care of the sensible heat load. Two systems have been deployed for the institute, where they work parallelly instead of letting one system take on the load of Kathmandu’s cold and humid climate.
The climate is influenced by two factors i.e the humidity and the dry bulb temperature.To establish the comfort band, if the relative humidity falls either below 30% or above 70% it is deemed as uncomfortable. The same was done with temperature which defined the upper limit of comfort and the lower limit of comfort for each month.
An adaptive comfort band was developed in accordance with ASHRAE 2019 standards for the specific site, which allowed more hours to fall into the comfort temperatures decreasing the need for HVAC.
After the initial analysis, It was found that for our case around 26.7% of the operative hours the climate is comfortable and can function sans the use of any conditioning system besides the use of ceiling fans or opening of windows.
The system has been laid out in a way to provide suitable air pressure, velocity and temperatures in the spaces. For the same, the fresh air supply ducts have been placed in the lower end of the walls and the exhausts have been placed on the ceiling level. Furthermore, media filters have been placed in the ducts as they are good for filtering out bacteria and fungus as well as the remaining fine particulate

Fatehpur Sikri, UP | 4th Semester | Individual
The visitor centre designed for the architecturally rich fortified city of Fatehpur Sikri is inspired by the same. The centre is in the vicinity of the parking of the fort, shopping complex and the CNG bus stand.
The goal is to create a continuous flow of interactive spaces from the parking lot to the bus stop. Grid planning on contours, interconnected plazas, symmetrical axes, and other features define the Fatehpur Sikri complex.
It also has colonnades, arcades, jharokhas, step-wells, carvings, and other architectural features. Holding all of these factors in mind, the centre aims to integrate

Both the floors are connected via a ramp for easy accessibilty, the ramp also connects the OAT midlevel making it an interesting path to be taken. The central court acts as a connecting feature of both levels visually as well as aesthetically. Further more on the ground level multiple landscaped areas have been created for seating, cafeteria space and spillout areas for employees as well. Landscaped areas feature water bodies which make the spaces more serene and grand together. On the first floor, the library and internet cafe flow out into the open terrace facing the beautiful landscape below.
Doorabeen is designed to be an extension for my existing house which is a 3BHK unit. The concept behind the built form is a telescope (“doorbeen: in hindi), it is meant to facilitate views of the outdoor into the indoor spaces.
Divided into two levels, one level is an extensiob to teh existing living room and open out into the backyard and the other is a simple kichentte and working space. It provided many semi-open spaces for the family to interact in and have a lesiure time.

4. Addition of louvres spaces for easier transitions
1. Simple Cuboid 5. Placing in with the existing house 6. Addition of Skylight and Balcony space 7. Final Form after addition of fenestrations and pergolas
