The primary aim of this design studio was to come up with the design of a performing arts school, specializing in vernacular dance and music forms. The given site has an existing school, which was cinstructed in 1880s, built by the German missionaries, in vernacular style of architecture.

Section AA’

This studio aimed at providing housing for the working community, living in the old port area, belonging to various communities such as fishermen, truck drivers, ice factory workers, etc. The design also caters to water efficient aspect by incorporating features such as rain garden, bioswales, rainwater harvesting and treatment.

Section CC’

Yelachenahalli is a neighbourhood located in the south of Bangalore. The site is situated along the green line of Namma Metro and is in between Yelachenahalli and Jayaprakaash Nagar Metro stations. The area is well accessible by metro, has nearby bus stations and auo stands, necessary services such as post office, police station, primary healthcare centres, within 2km radius around the site.

Site Images

The Kalyani is a contemporary interpretation of the typical temple pond and becomes a point of reference for all religious processions. This was located in the south-eastern corner due to easy access from the road as well as the village. The Kalyani’s drainage is linked to the city drainage so that it does not faul the lake water.

The primary focus of the design was to make it as inclusive as possible - a space that would aid citizens in experiencing the flora and fauna while engaging in the context of the region. In a time, when cities across the world are getting homogenised In terms of its planning and design, it is such engagement that help conserve and propagate the regional ethos of a place.

Internship Work

The scope of work during my internship ranged from developing detailed sectional elevations for interior projects, 3D modelling, both interior and exterior projects, developing floor plan and facade renders. I have also gained experience in site visits and supervision of the projects

Sustainability Studio

Institution Project

Semester 3

Site is located off NH44 adjacent to Bettahalasuru Quarry which is not active at present. The site is well connected to major destinations in and around the city of Bengaluru.

Project Brief :

To design an architecture college on the above mentioned site, keeping in mind sustainability and passive design strategies so that the users of the building are thermally comfortable.

Inferences drawn

1. Orientation:

The longer facades of the blocks face North-South direction, so as to cut down surface radiation from East and West.

2. Wind Barrier

From the wind rose diagram it is observed that prevailing winds from south-west direction is at a high velocity, hence trees have to be planted which act as a wind barrier.

3. Cross Ventilation

Windows have to be provid ed on the opposite walls to ensure cross ventilation and quality air circulation through out the space.

4. Stack Effect

The units have to be stacked on top of each other so that hot air which is less dense can rise up and escape. Open courtyards are an optimum medium through which air can escape. Passive Design Strategies
