The Context India in the last decade or so has been faced with a unique urban situation - where the urban fabric is transitioning towards a global economy while on the other side, the lack of effective building solutions to facilitate this change has hindered the process. Current residential typologies in Indian cities are still based on concrete and thereby lack flexibility of use and construction. The urban demographic are unwilling to accept a change in terms of construction methods and design language. The Zen Den project aims at providing a solution to this through an efficient and modular housing/ building typology based on lightweight and fast construction, flexibility and adaptability to existing built contexts and a customisable interior. The design is envisioned as a symbiotic architectural language to existing urban and rural conditions.

CURRENT SCENARIO
Uncontrolled Urban growth causing unsustainable living conditions
Unavailability of land caused by large private construction leading to societal imbalance.
Customised and personalised design solutions that can be juxtaposed onto the urban fabric with ease.
4’ wide external boards fitted onto vertical grid as the external shell structure.
Unprecedented and unsustainable vertical developments resulting in sterile urbanscapes.
Resource and time saving with more facilities provided in a compact space.
4’ wide internal boards fixed as panelling provide a base for modular furniture to be customised within a 2’x2’2’ grid
Redevelopment of existing structures limited to column beam based iterations or additions.
Lesser site based working causing least damage to the surroundings and environment.
Roof and Deck modules are retrofitted onto the main structure as a direct extension of the grid.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
2’x2’ grid as the starting point for the module. The grids are then populated by vertical support structures.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Smart and Rapid production to facilitate for the growing population.

The Vision Around the world, the footprints of cities are ever increasing. Beyond the obvious lack of shelter and infrastructure, the ability to transform existing structures - adding or increasing space is becoming almost impossible. The three main causes of this are - inefficient space management, lack of consolidated facilities and ignorance of design standards. The vision of Zen Den is to address these issues by providing a lightweight accessible solution to shelter for the contemporary world.
Terrace Dwelling This option allows for the utilisation of open terrace spaces in cities, thereby allowing residents to expand their homes without damage to the existing structure.
Resort Clusters As the tourism industry is shifting towards lighter footprints, the resort version is a cost effective alternative that can be combined in various modules and set up at any location.
Rural Micro-Markets This option is seen as an alternative to the traditional market place, complete with a hydroponic system on the upper floor to create a self sustained framework .
Home Extensions Many older homes in cities have large backyards and gardens which are built over. This module helps retail the green while providing a sustainable extension.
Waterfront Units Coastal regulations in India have resulted in the construction of illegal concrete structures thus ruining coastlines. These micro units would provide an aesthetic and economic alternative. Housing in Ghana As an alternative to social housing in remote areas, the Ghana government has been interested in the Zen den module- with material changes including a wooden structure. 7

The Final Product
The interiors are designed to accommodate as many functional aspects as possible within a restricted space. By replicating the modular grid within, the interiors are easy to assemble.
By introducing flexible furniture such as fall down or murphy beds and movable tables, the den transforms as per functional and user based requirement.
Flexible interiors which fit within an easy to assemble exterior make the den the right alternative for temporal structures.

Area - 10000 sqft
The Brief The project brief required an existing, dilapidated structure to be transformed into a private residence in an upscale neighbourhood of Hyderbad, India . The existing structure consisted of two main masses separated by a courtyard and lacked any aesthetic direction. The design proposal was in two stages, one which involved the structure itself and the other mainly towards the context. In terms of the building, an extra floor was added to the western mass and a series of roofs were juxtaposed onto the volumes to create a cascading terraced form. By introducing these terraces, the open terraces became usable shaded decks filled with landscape . Facade elements were introduced to cover and mute the staircase area and combine the volumes. A material palette of wood, concrete and local basalt stone was used for the exterior to achieve a contextual tropical modern style of aesthetic. In terms of the context, a basement was provided as a split level and the top of this basement was made a large lawn and spillout for the ground floor. On the opposite side of the street, with the client’s and government approval,the barren land was developed into a community park. 10
The Process
Added Canopies Retrofit Facade Split level podium
EXISTING STRUCTURE The existing structure consisted of two main masses separated by an open court in between. The building itself was at a height of 1.5m above the road level and was oriented 45 degrees away from the road line. The surrounding landscape was barren and was home to anti social activities.
Existing massing
Added floor and slab
PROPOSED TRANSFORMATION The proposed transformation is based on the utilisation of open terrace spaces as shaded decks through the introduction of canopies. These canopies add to the external aesthetic of the building and increase its scale. The split level podium provides the residence with a basement car park and a large lawn.

The transformation of the external volume was followed by the repurposing and repositioning of the interior spaces. The exsiting structure’s mass meant that functions had to be stacked on on top of the other. The ground floor was provided with social, living and dining spaces which opened into the lawn. The upper floors were more private with bedrooms and private entertainment zones.

The Transformation
The existing parcel of land opposite the site was being used as a dump and was subject to anti social activities. Our proposal included the soft landscaping of the edge and allowing for the development of a park along with street lighting along the edge and corner
The existing structure was dilapidated and was open to the street resulting in illegal activities. By introducing a green buffer and raising the built on a podium, both privacy and an active green public interface were achieved.
Locally available teak and basalt were used as the main exterior materials and rooted the design to its place.

The Brief The competition was conducted by the Manipal trust, a well known educational institution in Southern India to design their new Faculty of Architecture block at the university town of Manipal along the western coast of India. The program was to cater to a total of 2500 students for a variety of tracks including architecture, interior design, urban design and fashion management. The site profile provided was a skewed rectangle and had a single approach road. The design sought to create a unique student experience which was based on a central spine which ran along the diagonal of the site. Using this as the datum, the faculty blocks were placed around and over it. Manipal has a hot and humid climate with heavy rainfall for 5 months of the year. Hence, the interaction zones are all enveloped by green and are semi covered. Green sleeves are provided in equal proportions in between the blocks to create more accessible scales between the user and built. The primary construction material used is laterite stone, available locally and is combined with concrete and metal frameworks to create a heterogenous aesthetic to the design. The entry plaza is covered by a space frame truss. 15

Program and Sectional Logic The building program is equally distributed among the first, second and third floor. While the first floor is mostly for undergraduate programs, the third floor is dedicated mainly to the graduate programs. The second floor in between is provided with workshops and common classrooms. The admin block is also repeated on all floors as per the faculty with a direct connection to all the academic spaces. The green spaces act as buffers between the blocks and thereby provide individuality and identity to each space while still having an overall similarity in terms of aesthetic. These green zones act as interaction spaces between the classrooms. The splitting of the blocks allows for crossventilation of all the classrooms and ample amount of sunlight throughout the day.

The Context The Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) conducted a workshop which revolved around developing a master plan for a bicycle network in Mysore. The masterplanning was done carefully taking into account various factors of the city including accessibility, heritage and existing transport services. As such, design interventions/ inserts were needed to help boost the masterplan at strategic locations. The two projects have been chosen by DULT for implementation after the masterplan and the Public bike sharing system got a nod of approval from the state government. This makes Mysore India’s first bicycle friendly city and these projects are an integral part of the same. The first intervention is converting the city’s university campus street into a pedestrian street which would host flea markets, events and art installations. This would come up alongside a dedicated bicycle path thereby creating awareness among the students to use the cycle service more often. The second intervention placed at the entry to the Kukkerhalli lake, is the main docking station and information kiosk for the city which would help customers redeem their bicycle rides for coupons and gifts as an incentive. The location also repurposes an old horse carriage stand as the docking area for the cycles. 19

The areas of intervention are chosen based on their proximity to the State university, accessibility from residential neighbourhoods and interaction with the lake. The bicycle path is designed as an alternate network which takes the user from the palace located at the center of the city to main university campus street through residential neighbourhoods and green areas. The path has been designed so as to carefully avoid the state highway and allow access to it only when absolutely essential. Along the path, the experience is dotted by heritage buildings, green areas and well-lit paths. This strategy hopes to promote the use of bicycles in Mysore.

COMMUNITY
The campus street is reimagined as a pedestrian and bicycle friendly gathering space for the neighbourhood as opposed to a transition space. The setting up of temporary flea markets helps bring the community together. The proposal also promotes art events and installations which help the university students showcase their work. The street is provided with street lights throughout and thereby becomes an active public space.
PERFORMANCE
PROPOSED ROAD SECTION
The lakefront plaza is designed to create a subtle transition between the streetscape and waterbody through a series of public spaces, landscapes and event zones. The meandering path leads to a variety of activity zones such as the amphitheater, graffitti walls and kids’ play area. The docking station is located at the plaza and caters primarily to the students of the university. 21

INFORMATION
The docking station is placed within an old, dilapidated ‘tonga’ stand which is the local shelter for horse carriages. These shelters were found throughout the city during the rule of the Maharaja and have been abandoned. Repurposing the stand allows the idea of a transport oriented shelter to continue, albeit through bicycles. The connection between the two lake docking stations allows for people to cycle around the lake as well. 22

The Context Urbanisation is a process which reshapes the way a country functions and has the ability to affect their economies, both positively and negatively. This phenomenon occurs everyday, with each city growing in size, global outreach and demand. When the regional boundaries of these cities are increased to accomodate the growing demands of urban development, they consume the periurban and fringe areas in the process. The life of the people in these areas is often neglected citing a “better tomorrow”. However, it results in non inclusive growth which fails to integrate the various classes of population constituting the city. If we are to change this trend, we have to refine our outlook towards urban development and establish ways to create inclusive growth. The project deals with creating inclusive and integrated growth by providing equal opportunities and benefits of the urbanization process. The threshold hub refers to an urban-rural interface campus which is located at the urban rural threshold.The city chosen is Bangalore due to its cosmopolitan diversity and rapid growth over the last three decades. The project aims to decongest the city center and provide a nucleus in the direction of sprawl. Instead of negating the existing population, the built framework is used as an instrument to bring people together. 23
Site Location and Analysis The site is located to the north of Bangalore city on the way to the international airport opposite a town called Chikkajala. The Chikkajala lake is located north of the site. It is along the proposed hyper corridor from the city center to the airport and will be part of the economic boom by 2030. STRATEGY PLAN

Design Development- Reconfiguring the grid
ESTABLISHING THE GRID The site is subjected to three directional lines - road to lake, road to agricultural land and settlement to lake. The intersection of these three lines creates a skewed base grid on the site to work with.
CONNECTING NODES-CREATING SPINES By connecting the main nodes,two main spines are defined. The longer spine runs along the lake front and the shorter spin connects the public access to the lake.
CARVING PATHS AND SPACES Defragmenting the spines further as per the grid results in the formation of zones which can be further divided as green areas and buildable plots.
BUILDING BLOCK ORIENTATION The blocks are placed with their longer sides along north-south to reduce solar heat ingress. This also maximizes the view and access to the lake
DISTORTING THE BUILT-FORMING STREETS The blocks are distorted and configured as per the spine to create shaded and layered walkways and plazas. The spine is now re-established as an extension of the streetscape.
RAISING BUILT-BLURRING BOUNDARIES The built framework is raised to create an open ground floor thereby forming a seamless transition between spine,built,plaza and lake.

The Coworking Hub is designed as an open plan which responds to the on site grid and allows for green pockets in and around it. It is envisioned as an accelerator for start up businesses. The interiors are kept as flexible as possible and provided with plenty of natural light. The ground floor is kept open for the public to interact with the users of the space, thereby creating a unique experience. The ground floor comprises of start up exhibition kiosks and product launches around a business plaza which attract customers.

Street Furniture Typology The spines are dotted with street furniture which have been designed keeping in mind the zones they are located in. They are a combination of a permanent base and a changeable, flexible add-on to suit the user’s needs. These furniture pieces add character to the open spaces.
+ RETAIL + SHOP KIOSK This kiosk typology is placed along the spine at the entry to cater to smaller retail brands. The base is set up and temporal kiosk shelters can be fitted in modules.
+ HANDICRAFTS+ART DISPLAY KIOSK The base with tensile roof is added to modular shelving and display units. The front desk also becomes a part of the modular system. These are located towards the town entry towards west to promote rural handicraft and art sales.
