Bookmark Switch Competition Central Park Team of 3 | Central Park, New

Book Studio York | 2019

The competition seeks for the creation of a pavilion structure in the park that would house a public library/reading studio with an aim to promote reading culture among the general public and visitors. The proposal should aim to create a new-age library typology that would break away from the formal environment of existing libraries of the world.

The architecture be inviting and informal, being able to connect with the general public and change the rigid outlook of libraries. The library be fluid and dynamic spatially, being in coherence with the natural context of the central park. The aesthetic quality, materiality and volume of the freestanding library should add vitality, beauty and a sense of identity to the space, paying respect to the context and surrounding environment.

TOP 50 WORLDWIDE

This pavilion serves as a magnet to bring together a mix of book lovers and other knowledge bearers to learn in each other’s company and thrive as a community.

The path walked under the coloured sky of the winding pavilion takes one through an array of experiences by means of people on one side telling stories of their own, similar to how books placed on the other side take one through several chapters and characters that leave a mark in our lives. In effect making the Pavilion a bookmark in the park.

On the other side, a community space flourishes that beams with activity and often finds its audience on the adjacent mounds.

Site Location: Central Park, New York

For the convenience of those who do not have a habit of reading, and to bring the less interested ones into the realm of books, magnified pages of books are displayed as life size panels.

Bookshelves that can be pushed into or pulled out of the ground, acting as led light panels by the night and shelves by the day.

The seating ribbons are installed with a digital screen that displays book title being read by the seated person.

Lochfront Exhibition Center Volkswagen Automobile Exhibit | Academic Project Kaliyasot Dam, Bhopal, India | 2019 The intent of the project was to design a large scale exhibition space for the selected Automobile collection from the chosen Volkswagen Umbrella Group including 12 International brands. The product spectrum ranges from motorcycles to low-consumption small cars and luxury vehicles as well as pick-ups, buses and heavy trucks.

The large span architecture demands for a flexible space to house atleast 20 cars, other automobiles, parts and accessories in addition to Launch space, Open air theatre, food plaza, parking and more.

Located on the edge of Kaliyasot Dam in Bhopal, the site offers scenic view of the Lake besides low rise development around.

Thus the design aims to blend within the landscape through the organic wave while expressing luxury and grandeur.

The elongated elevation sets the horizon as the perfect backdrop for displaying Automobiles of all included brands.

The Project also includes two multi-purpose Open Air Theatres on either side of the long span Exhibition Center for the purposes of gathering, activity and launch events. They have been designed to easily accommodate Automobiles such as cars, motorbikes even large scale buses and trucks.

The Test Drive Track interacts with the built physically to connect the audience with the products in more than one way. It offers the intangible close up experience with safety considerations.

The glass tunnel connects the within to the beyond.

The informal seating below the lower connecting trusses offers yet another interactive comfortable space. It hosts few outdoor kiosks and benches apart from the in house restaurant within the center.

The ramp and trusses extend playful shadows, changing throughout the day that add to the inviting, comfortable ambience of the space.

A modern landmark adding to the oomph that the city of Nawabs carries since ages. An attraction for the international audience as well as a refreshing experience for the city’s own.

Winding Trails Switch Competition Team of 2 | Hekla

Unschool Copenhagen Park, Copenhagen | 2020

The competition seeks the creation of a ‘school for the future’ (age group 5-12) that completely negates the regularized building typology of existing ones. The competition seeks to radicalize the school system through architecture not only in terms of improving the quality of study environment but revamping the system and breaking all the physical and metaphorical class divisions into an entirely new school system.

WORLDWIDE

Drafting on AutoCAD Modelling on Revit Rendering on Lumion Post Production on Photoshop, Illustrator

The architecture competition should strive to create a school that allows the environment to teach, inspire and shape the identity of the people who operate in it. The landscaped zone in the school must not be limited to playfields and lawns but should try to merge into the learning spaces in a permeable fashion.

Essence of organised chaos

The structure of a braid is adopted here to make three circulation paths indicating hierarchy in size, importance and necessity of spaces and functions.

From individual study corners to full sized class rooms all spaces are scattered to ensure that a mix of various types of activities is present at every corner of the school.

THE TOUCH OF THE TEXTURES

This design is based on the concept of laying emphasis on the growth of a child by actively engaging the five senses of the body. It encourages learning by watching, hearing and interacting with others.

A service to all senses, to foster each child, neither differentiating nor compromising all students’ needs, interests and learning

THE ACT OF COMMUNICATION

A huge field is provided solely for the purpose of conducting science experiments.

A holistic learning through sports, experiments, technology and freedom of choice.

A black box, devoid of any light and blackened completely from the inside, is used as an audio theatre where the sense of hearing is exercised and engaged in learning.

A playpen for pets is provided to teach how to co-live with animals and foster bonds with them.

A network of cycling tracks, true to Copenhagen’s nature, dominates the school making moving through the school fun and interesting in nature.

Non Solo Arte Archasm Competition Visual Arts Gallery Florence Team of 3 | Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence | 2020

Drafting on AutoCAD Modelling on Rhinoceros Rendering on Lumion Post Production on Photoshop, Illustrator

An art gallery cannot be frozen in time or bound by tradition. Art is a living thing, forever evolving and changing, and an art gallery must constantly adapt if it is to remain relevant and vital. The aim of the competition is to reinvent and reconfigure the traditional art gallery into a more flexible, democratic and creative space.

The gallery should be an exemplary urban form that will change the rigid outlook of art galleries. The gallery should be able to re-invent itself programmatically by introducing new ways and incorporating digital technology into its already existing ways and methods of display.

Movement Pattern Non Solo Arte is a contemporary tribute to the artist Michelangelo. At this gallery, art is for everyone, young or old, locals or tourists as it combines today’s pop culture and global scenarios with some of Michelangelo’s most famous sculptures which are 3D printed. Each person will have a unique and customized experience, with no designated entry or exit; people are free to follow their own path rather than a curated one. Inspired from the stained glass used in Renaissance churches, dichroic film covered glass is the key material of this installation which itself becomes the art.

Steel structures hold together the roofed spaces. The space is inclusive to people with special needs as well, and the open and spaced out gallery ensures ventilation making it relatively resilient to Covid-19. Music will bring the space to life, enhancing the whole visual experience.

Site Plan

People are free to be themselves here, day or night, and will experience art in a different way at all times. During the day it will change according to the sunlight and the colourful shadows it will cast and at night with hourly changing digital art projections from artists all over the world.

Bamboo Bars Hands-on Time-sentitive Academic Design Project | 2019 To create an incentive for the students to attend school while engaging all stakeholders, the teachers, staff and parents.

Outdoor seating was selected keeping in mind that no form of seating is available for the students of the school and the open space that our site provided. The design incorporates ‘play’ as an attribute in outdoor seating, giving the children an opportunity to sit and play in a space characterized by adventure, thrill and danger.

Tour in Vietnam Lhamas | 2019

The Architecture Experience, Vietnam took 18 participants on a 14 day journey across the country of Vietnam exploring projects which showcased sustainable practices through different perspectives and interpretations. These combined with knowledge imparting Studio visits to Takashi Niwa Architects, 1+1>2 Architects’ Studio, Terra Cotta Studio and bhArchitects’s Studio enriched the participant’s learning.

The experience aimed at implementing and solving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN. The immersive experience gave Architecture and Design students a chance to go beyond academic perceptions of Vernacular Sustainability, which focuses on integrating a sense of structural innovation with wide, open spaces, increased ventilation, usage of local resources, and building materials with cooling factors.
