Komal Agarwal
I am Komal, a graduate from Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute of Architecture, Mumbai. I am a fast learner, eager to learn new things through various experiments and experiences.
I like, try and aspire to create thoughtful spaces designed with love and care, with thought given even to the smallest details. With a commitment and drive to continuously outdo myself, I look forward to bringing my unique blend of creativity, whimsy and enthusiasm for innovation and learning to the team, working towards the same goal of crafting spaces and experiences.

The school designed by Vastu Shilpa Consultants sits within densely vegetated area, being shaped by the trees around. The plan follows a path of least resistance and the banana shaped parasol roof unifies the separate blocks acting as a skylight as well. The structural design for the school also takes into account the dense vegetation on site, taking necessary precautions to not harm the roots of the trees. Even the statement parasol roof is designed to accomodate its branches wherever necessary.

A minimalist 1BHK with clean aesthetics designed for a couple. The space exudes simplicity with a touch of whimsy through its monochrome finishes highlighted with an accent colour on carefully designed pieces of furniture.

Making reimagined
Project Type: Undergraduate Thesis
Project Location: Pokhran, Rajasthan, India
Semester: 9 & 10
Mentor: Vikram Pawar
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the evolution of the act of making, in relation to technology. It is thus aimed to imagine and explore an artisan-designertechnology collaboration to understand and establish ways in which technological development and skill development go hand in hand.
The design intent in turn is to explore different collaborative workflows and craft a space that exudes the same collaborative atmosphere. While also exhibiting the work of the craftsmen in every corner of the structure by including them in the designing process as well.

INTRODUCTION
The town of Pokhran is located in the outskirts of Jaisalmer. It is home to a variety of Indian Traditional Crafts, particularly Pottery. About 200 families practiced the craft, a number that’s continuously declining
To increase demand for their products, the artisans expand into industries, other than only kitchenware. And to keep up with the scale of production required and to not lose the creative aspects of the craft to machines, a collaborative institute is proposed, enabling collaboration at 3 levels- intercraft collaboration, collaboration between technology and craftsman and collaboration between artisans and people from other fields such as designers, engineers, etc. 1.
KVIC, or Khadi and Village Industries Commission, conducted workshops and distributed tools like an electric wheel, clay blungers and an electric kiln. But most equipment except the electric wheel aren’t used.
There is not enough demand for clay objects and all that’s sold are small tchotchkes, bought by tourist which is not enough for the potters to sustain themselves.
The potters are diverisying into other skill based professions such as stonework, carpentry and metalwork as a means to sustain themselves.

A series of speculations were done as a pair of two binaries and an equlibrium between them with varying degrees of dependence between crafts done manually and with the help of technology. The first, ‘Cyborg City’ and ‘Victorious Humans?’ where they are not interdependent and exist without each
other. The second binary, ‘Age of AI’ and ‘Mechanisation & Power Tools’ where both have some interdependence but one can still favour one or the other. And the equilibrium which introduces a third party collaborator or an ‘agent of equilibrium’ in the form of architects, designers, engineers, etc.
imaginative scenarios w.r.t craft in the future
34
how is ‘making’ reimagined?
The equilibrium workflows for stoneworks include: Bridge saws and other such tools to roughly cut the stone. Desigining using holograms or AR/VR, transferring those onto the stone through machines and then precision work and detailing through hand. Lastly Finishing via sanding and polishing.
The workflow for carpentry is inspired by the workflow of Wendell Castle. A scaled model is used to design the furniture, followed by replicating it digitally. The digital model is used to cut consequetive sections of them which are then glued together and given the final shape using chainsaws and then polished.
STONEWORK CARPENTRY
There are a number of workflows for pottery based on the current ways of working as well. Reclaming of clay, working with clay blungers and pugmills to make the dough. Using AR/VR to design and while thowing to get an accurate shape or 3D printing clay or 3D printing plaster moulds to slip cast the object desired.
The metalwork workflow incorporates multiple ways of working as well. Using various handheld machines, 3D printing joineries, robotic arms to assist in the fabrication process, using AR to fabricate objects by hand, etc.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS & CONCEPT
With collaboration being the essence of the building, it is designed as an exploration of Forcefits and Chance Encounters. Moreover, the site being situated in Rajasthan necessitates special consideration towards Thermal Comfort and the adoption of passive cooling strategies. These ideas along with promoting the craft contribute to the following architectural gestures and the design of the building.
Screens & Jalis providing thermal comfort & visual access.
Amphitheatres and Courtyards forming spaces for discussion and collaboration.
Staggered Section to increase range of access and also creating voids to act as terraces and courtayrds.

The project is set in the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW) and is an attempt to preserve and reinterpret it. The EKW acts as the kidneys of Kolkata and is an essential component in the working of the city which is now under threat from developers and contaminants. The masterplanning proposal aims at creating owness in the public towards the same such that the EKWMA can be revived to its former state.
Sketches: Bidisha Ghosh
The East Kolkata Wetlands face many threats like the increase in level of metals in the water due to the industries present, solid & inorganic waste, etc being dumped into it because of because of lack of services provided to the slum dwellers, etc. This has led to the deterioration in the functioning of the kidneys of Kolkata. The following strategies have been proposed under the head of ‘Wetland Interpretation & Conservation’ to improve the dwindling conditions of the wetlands as well as uplift the communities staying there and making them a part of the selfsufficient system.
PHASE 0
It was assumed that this phase was already in motion and was most likely to be undertaken by the government. Its aim was to provide municipal facilities to all its citizens along with a better way of living. This was done through the further development of the government housing in the area and rehabilitation of the slum dwellers in the in the same government housing (1). And the cleaning of the canal by placing solid waste segregators(9).
Phase 1 is focussed on the wetlands and its safety. Prevention of encroachments by developers, collective stakeholder communities fall under it.
This is imagined to be achieved through the introduction of the (2) EKWMA and Research Labs that monitors the health and well being of the wetlands. It shall house government administrative bodies and farmer-fishermen guilds as well that study the current state of the wetlands.
PHASE 2
The last phase focusses on the community and the sociocultural scenario of the wetlands leading the communities here towards self sufficiency. This phase includes creation of naturalised promenades(10), cycling tracks along the jheel and canal(12), floodable landscapes(8), nurseries(4), composting pits(7), biorejuvanation parks(15) and floating markets(11) at the jheel. This phase works towards the training of the community and also ensures interaction of the community and the wetland with others. Thus this phase would also include the development of a centre for skillbuilding of the farmer-fisherman forming a co-op.,(3), a center for handicraft and material research(4), a market, exhibit and dry waste collection(5) and a center for ecotourism(6). This phase works towards developing an owness towards the canal and the jheel, such that the entirety of the community works towards the betterment of it, ensuring continued maintenance and even growth.

Situated in Kumartuli, Kolkata, the project provides the idolmakers a space to work, teach and exhibit their work, altogether. One can see all the different stages of idol making going from one level to the other, turning the entire space into a smaller version of the area of Kumartuli. Each terrace and level offiers a view of other levels. And the terraces also offer a view of the sculptural tessalated screen made of teracotta. The screen makes the structure stand out in the context, while the teracotta (clay) is always a reminder of who the structure belongs to, i.e. the idolmakers.
