STUTI PARIKH
Stuti Parikh Indian Ahmedabad, India About Me
It is rightly coined ‘Less is more.’ With that in mind, my passion for simplicity in design began at the age of sixteen. From holding an ink pen to practically solving a problem on software, 3 years of architecture has taught me the significance of equilibrium in every aspect.

A residence located on a flat terrain in the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan. Project Segment lies as an exposed bold work of reinforced concrete. Considering the merits of the material, the house resembles a distinctive geometry, reflecting brutalism. After being familiar with Corbusier’s work, the idea was to create an effortless maze, with cavities that understand and welcome light. As one walks down the green cover through the entrance, the semi-open reading area helps to recognise Project Segment.

Housing a family of four, the project comprises of spaces that cater to every day to day activities. The pandemic has changed the world in terms of work culture. Hence the project houses a semi- open workspace+reading area. This acts as a concluding element of the project. Rest of the spaces come on the way to the reading quarter, that open up to the surrounding. An unobstructed dining, kitchen and living area is designed to not isolate the family, but bring them together.

The goal of the studio project was to create student housing for IIM Ahmedabad’s doctorate students. It aims to build student housing that incorporates different levels of coliving in terms of having a life in dormitory. The user group for this housing design includes those who are willing to accomodate with two to five other colleagues. The project is located away from the institute of management, allowing the design to have every necesity that is required. After a long day, the students get to experience a different side of Ahmedabad, placid and undisturbed.

HOUSING STUDIO TETRIS SEMESTER IV
The site is near a Chharodi lake in Ahmedabad. Each cluster’s gathering space faces the lake.
The idea behind creating units was to incorporate work and living together. The linear unit plan incorporates dormitory adjacent to the student workspace. Similary, the dual unit have an indoor+outdoor seating with a kitchenette. The small unit plan is simpler, with a residing space and an outdoor sitout.

On a personal belief, rammed earth evokes warmth, a sentiment of home. With that thought in mind, vocational training centre for the specially-able children of Ahmedabad is designed. This project is focused around an axis which is integrated through the existance of two preliminary trees, the Banyan and Neem. On understanding the user’s condition, the school enables flexibility is space and revolves around the concept of directionality for ease of the end user. This acts as guidance. Lastly, the funneled shaped skylights are an addition to the experience.

‘There is no private space. The only private space that you can imagine is the human mind’
-Paulo Mendes Da Rocha
Taking inspiration from the case study done on Paulo Mendes Da Rocha’s chapel in Brazil, the hollow concrete slab rests on the load bearing rammed earth walls. The funnelled skylight highlights larger spaces, such as the workshop and classroom.
The ground floor consits of workshop space both open+closed, classrooms, canteen, dining space, computer lab, admin room and a washroom. Necessary and frequently occupied spaces are zoned on ground level as a facility for the children. Remaing classrooms, reading area, common discussion room and washroom take up the first level of the project.

The process throughout was a continuous back and forth, from being sensitive towards the end users and designing a student wishes to. The challenge was to find an intermediate and not compromise on what the children should be provided with, a normal routine. just like everyone else. A difference yet similarity in terms of design for the special. In a nutshell, it is time to Start Smart for them.

In continuation of fifth semester, the design is further in the process of resolution. The project is a load bearing rammed earth structure with timber as the horizontal structural member. The illustration on left is a part of the scaffolding required before ramming begins, process understood after studying rammed earth and the construction method.

MEASURE DRAWING KHADIA
Aim: To measure draw a delegated complex in the old city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat Worked by: Teamwork
Documenting residences for the UNESCO World Heritage survey was the objective of the project. Examining the range of scales used in this type of home, as well as the hierarchy of the rooms, the choice of building materials, and the way of life of the occupants, it was an introduction to the field and precision it requires.

An art installation done by a group of 4 friends. ‘Fluidity’, theme of the fest for which it was done is justified not only through the falling camera reel, but the timeless designs Le Corbusier has given to us. Use of acrylic medium such as acrylic paint specialised for walls was used. Painting of an approximate height of three metres welcomes the students inside the Institute of Architecture.
32
The first semester into architecture was about exploring mediums. The studio revolved around an animal study, here an extinct creature, Pteranodon. The study was based with respect to human habits and designing according to it’s needs. The use of black charcoal pencil, crayon and white charcaol pencil is displayed.
