Studio Brief:
Upon documenting and understanding the working and the role of the Kiskindha trust in the town Angundi, the brief was to design a center for the trust which consolidates all their activities to one location. With sustainability as the major focus of the studio, the students looked at a project like this can be sustainable at a larger level, not just architecturally but in various other ways.

GREEN ROOF The green roof provides opportunity for cultivation of vegetable, or rather it is planted with native shrubs and grass to create a ecology. RAINWATER HARVESTING Mean Annual rainfall in Anegundi is around 700mm. Roof area in design is 3500sqm(usable) Runoff factor for green terraces(42-60) is 50% Filter co-efficient is 0.6 The rainwater is let into the water pond. The water body has a capacity of 1,50,000 litres. The run off water is drained through the drain system that is designed like planter boxes. The drains sit on top of beams, so as to transfer the load safely. RENEWABLE ENERGY Anegundi has clear skies around most time of the year except for the monsoon seasons. Therefore ,considering the high intensity of sunlight solar panels are the best renewable source of energy. This energy is used for running active cooling systems and recharging the grid. 1 solar cell is 1.7sqm. Therefore 130 solar cells is 221sqm area. Generally, One solar cell of 1sqm produces 250 to 300 watts energy on a good sunny day. 1.7sqm cell produces 450 watts energy per day. 130 such cells would produce 55 Kwh/ day. R.E energy ACTIVE COOLING SYSTEMS Back to PWER GRID North walls For a proper summer heat protection, materials with a high heat storage capacity should be used, ideally in combination with an outer insulation. In addition, the direct sun exposure through windows must be reduced to an acceptable level by shading means Material 01: Material is used in general scenarios. The u value is 0.8W/(m²K) Internal temperature: 25 Celsius When external temperature is 35 Celsius. Material 02: Material is used in south wall in manufacturing block. The u value is 0.4W/(m²K) Internal temperature: 25 Celsius When external temperature is 35 Celsius. Passive cooling: Old roof clay tiles are wet with water, through use of drip system. The passage/corridor is 5m in width, a minimum time and distance lag provided. Through help of stack effect in the daylight system, the hot air moves out. To increase the speed of the hot air outflow, the venturi effect is used. Active cooling: The sprinkler has sensors and provides water to plants and the clay tiles. The ceiling fans further mix the air inside the space.

Hence the range is more than 2000 lux. Hence receives more daylight than required. For GROUND FLOOR For BASEMENT FLOOR SOUTH & NORTH FAC NG FACADE: Determining the period of the year which can be considered to calculate the horizontal shading device : -South walls faces most heat & radiation from the sun, so shading it during all months of year to make it more occupant friendly throughout the day would be wise. -Particular date can be chosen as 22nd of December, due to the fact the sun in at its lowest angle. NOT If VSA>45 degrees, consider horizontal shading device. If VSA<45 degrees, consider vertical shading device. Consider lowest angle for VSA and lowest angles on both sides of normal for HSA(sun protractor) EAST & WEST FAC NG FACADE: Determining the period of the year which can be considered to calculate the horizontal shading device -west façade receives more radiation during the latter half of the day. The spine gets the sun rays, which is possible to transmit the heat to inner parts of built. -shading these façades by considering the spectrum of angles from Jan-dec. the sun setting points change during various months. SOLAR SHADING DAYLIGHTING Range- 100 Lux – 2000 Lux (Ideal Lux levels for workspaces) Time Period – 8 am – 6 pm. Target – 90% of the time range throughout the year. Range- 100 Lux – 2000 Lux (Ideal Lux levels for workspaces) Time Period – 8 am – 6 pm. Target – 90% of the time range throughout the year. undergraduate portfolio 9

Relative study program, Hampi semester 07
The goal of the studio was to visit a village and understand aspects of history, culture, people ,lifestyle and architectue. Using the knowledge what was observed in the field study, we were made to progressively derive scale, detailof vernacular buildings, functions and eventually have an intervention that would compliment the idenetity and programming of the village.

Raw Material: • Cotton fibre • Banana fibre (spliced or rope) Products: Table runners, Table mats, Cushion covers, Rugs, Bags
A typical table mat weaved by them is about 24 x 18 inches.
Plan Section 41 Block printing is the process of printing patterns by means of engraved wooden blocks. It is the earliest and simplest technique of textile printing. Raw Materials: Cotton Fabric (sourced from stores in various colors) Paints/Dyes (Sourced from stores) Tools Used: Wooden Block (Carved by themselves) Sewing Machine Process: Cut the fabric to desired shape and size and stitch them together. Two separate fabrics, are layered one over another, put together side by side and connect it with a string. Keep a layer of paper between the fabric and dip the wooden block into the dye and apply the desired block print to the fabric and press it down a few times before taking it off. Once done, leave the fabric out for drying. With some other cotton fabric, they sew it into a small pouch to put the finished dried product in it. Product: Thorana Plan Section 43

As one enters there’s a skylight that is essential for lighting up the private spaces. The house has a beautiful quality with a centrally located water harvesting system from which the household is run.

Theory of architecture semester 03
The learnings of the semester was through diagramming various well-known buildings along with their well known priniciples of design. The exercise of diagramming helped the indepth study of building and knowledge of design principles.
The Bregenz art museum has very few and basic en��es that are repeated throughout the front facade. The repeated en��es create a sense of rhythm in the building, which further gives it a relaxed and pleasured outlook to a viewer
When viewed from the point of perspec�ve of rhythm the building can be considered as a music in the libraries of architecture!. Each and every element making up the building can be like a note of the music.
The main staircase , which is repeated for the all floors are connected with a wall that runs from lower to the upper end of building. The concrete walls and floors stuck together to the staircase acts as separate note with con�nuity and also acts/really like base to the staircase rhythm. You sense a feeling of pleasure when you take the stairs. To balance this rhythm , biased to one side of the building, ver�cal wall suppor�ng emergency exit and elevators are made
Kunsthaus Bregenz Bregenz , 1997
Peter Zumthor
Asymmetry is a principle wherein you create by altering the posi�on of visual weight but at the same create a sense of balance. This building consists of some principles framed by the master, five points of architecture.
Le Corbusier has used and showed the staircase and ramp ,wise & bold. At that period of century, he was the architect who showed the staircase outside. Usually staircase were hidden in some corner of a building. So the staircase wasn’t just placed outside but had a func�on to perform in coordina�on with the ramp. The duo(ramp & staircase) were used to break the order in the building. The symmetry of main compartment of the building is broken, by the posi�oning of staircase and long ramp just to the right side ofsymmetrical line of cuboidal volume. The balance of the building though ,was s�ll perfect because of void that was created in the place where the duo gets intersected into the building.
