PROJECT DETAILS Including me, the project was done in a team of 3 students.

PROCESS (LEARNINGS) 1. A site was selected as per brief in the city of Hyderbad. (Site Selection based on SWOT Analysis) 2. Literature and case studies to understand Hospitality spaces and create an area program.

(Drafting project requirements and respective area details) 3. Based on site analysis and area program, zoning and massing were done. (Stacking mixed use spaces with high built up area requirements and balancing built and unbuilt) 4. Detailed 3D Model, Drawings and Renders.

(Virtual collaboration with team members over entire design process - conceptualisation to drawings.

16 ECS

BRIEF The studio exercise was based on the competition brief of Transparence - 15. The aim of the design project was to redefine hospitality spaces to make them a part of the public sphere of our cities and add to the urban experience of its users, planning beyond seamless in-house services.

AFRICAN FAMILY HOUSE TANZANIA, AFRICA | 5TH SEM INTRODUCTION BRIEF The studio exercise was based on a competition brief which aimed to design a low cost sustainable housing for a family of 15 members currently living in a small hut in Tanzania ,Africa. The challenge was to integrate family dwelling with the spaces where the cattle lives and the crop area and keep the costs as low as possible.

PROJECT DETAILS The project was done as design warm up exercise individually.

Site Location | Getamock, Tanzania, Africa Site Area | 3,848 sq. m.

Carpet Area | 110 sq. m.

SITE

SITE AND HOUSE PLAN PROCESS (LEARNINGS) 1. To understand the social and cultural context of the family’s community and available materials and construction techniques, literature studies were done. (The project helped me identify the needs of the users and to visualize the type of living spaces suited for their lifestyle) 2. Site analysis was done for the zoning of spaces.

3. The spaces were articulated and the building was given its form using traditional materials and techniques. (The functional requirements were not a major concern in this project. I focused more on simple functional spaces possible in low budget.)

PRE DESIGN STUDIES AND DESIGN EVOLUTION

13 BACKGROUND STUDIES SOCIO- CULTURAL CONTEXT

DESIGN EVOLUTION

1.

The required spaces are arranged linearly along S-W to N-E for least heat gain and maximum natural ventilation.

The family belongs to a community which mainly survives on agriculture and animal husbandry.

Most of the time is spent outside. Indoor spaces only for sleeping and protection from rain. Many generations live together under one roof. Degrading nature of homes require frequent maintenance. Decorations on the entrances and the crop stores. Want their children to get educated and thus invest in such spaces. Limited to zero access to basic necessities like water.

2.

The spaces are connected through common plinth creating verandahs on all sides and creating gathering spaces in between.

3.

Articulating the verandahs with timber posts and beams for roof structure - defining of spaces.

4.

Shading of spaces with thatch roof and polythene sheet undercover for sun and rain protection. Basic construction system.

SECTION CC’

LIFESTYLE AND SPATIAL REQUIREMENTS

Crop Storage and Cattle area as important as the dwelling area.

Front porch/ Verandah as semi-private guest entertaining spaces. Outdoor cooking space preferred to internal closed space. Protection from insects and mosquitoes. Washing, Bathing and Toilets separate from the main block for hygiene and water supply. Outdoor spaces as courtyard or large shaded area important as people like to spend time outside. Self sufficiency of resources.

D 04 | SAMSUNG OUT OF THE BOX CHALLENGE PORTABLE WORK DESK INTRODUCTION The Dezeen x Samsung Out of the Box Competition was a global contest that challenged contestants to design innovative new objects for the home that can be made by repurposing cardboard TV packaging.

CONCEPT I wanted to design a product sturdy and easy to assemble that could satisfy the functional needs of the TV buyers. Since this competition was announced in the early days of COVID-19 Pandemic in India and the offices were starting to promote Work from Home, I decided to design a foldable floor work desk from the cardboard packaging.

ASSEMBLY OF CARDBOARD MEMBERS DESIGN The work desk is an assembly of 7 different cardboard members.

The working part of the desk is a hollow rectangular box supported by three vertical and two horizontal members. The supports can be packed back inside the hollow box, and the work desk be put aside for later use. For adjusting the angle of the laptop or book being used, a cut-out flap is made, which can be supported at the desired angle using a support piece. On one side, there is a small drawer for the stationery supplies. An animated video explains the assembly process to the users for them to make their very own Samsung Work Desks.

D 04 | HERO COLABS EXPERIENCE CHALLENGE HERO NEXT GEN SHOWROOM DESIGN

The brief was to design a Next-Gen Premium showroom for Hero Motocorp which would target Millennials & Gen Z users in line with their new vision which is to ‘Be the Future of Mobility’.

CONCEPT The showroom is designed for the new generation of customers ‘HERO NEXT’ is a module example for replication at different sites across India. The logo and the ideals of the brand (Authenticity, Trust & Transparency) were taken as guiding principles for the entire design process from the colour and material palette to the division of spaces.

PLANNING DESIGN The front facade features the HERO Logo throug perforation.

On entrance, the user is greeted with a bold red walkway that guides the user across the showroom which is divided into segements using tile colours and display racks. The center segements feature the different product lines namely ‘Performance’, ‘Adventure’ and ‘Electric mobility’. Each of them have their smart screens where the customers can know the complete details of the product and can customize their own looks. In between are displayed the products, the accessories and spare parts. Technology and the real experiecne of the products together enrich the sales experience of the customers.

INTRODUCTION WRD Manipur has taken on board IITR as consultants for a tourism development plan of Singda Dam in Imphal. The project will be funded by World Bank under DRIP II. I worked as an assistant under Dr. Avlokita Agrawal in this project for the feasibility report and concept development stages.

NEED Inspite of being a beautiful and culturally rich state, Manipur attracts very few number of tourists per year. Being nested in a serene valley, Singda Dam has the potential to not only attract domestic tourists but also cater to the recreational needs of the locals.

PROCESS The project began with secondary research to undersatnd the site conditions, tourism and infrastructure status and Socio-Cultural aspects of Manipur.

Site visit was done to understand each area that lies under the WRD jurisdiction and is available for intervention. Based on the discussions with various stakeholders and identifying the characteristics and strength of each area, the entire site was divided into different zones.

Each zone has been associated with a unique tourism aspect.

Importance was given to bring people close to nature while minimizing any damage to the natural ecosysytem.

INVESTIGATING PEDESTRIAN BEHAVIOUR AND PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT IN INDIAN CITIES

1. Factor Identification Personal Experiences | Interviews Literature Study Research Papers Articles, Guidelines

2. Data Collection

INTRODUCTION During this internship, I worked as a research assistant under Dr. Shubhajit Sadhukhan. The research began in January 2021 and the showings presented here are based on the work done till July 2021.

NEED Walking is the most sustainable mode of transport which not only contributes to a physically and socially active population but also helps in significantly reducing the environmental load of transportation. It is important that we design our cities such that they promote walking as a travelling mode while ensuring the safety and comfort of our pedestrians.

FACTOR IDENTIFICATION 25+ Research Papers were studied from reputed journals to identify the most frequently talked about factors (in Black) affecting Pedestrian Environment. Additional factors less frequent yet considered important for the Indian context were added (in Yellow) to the final list of 16 factors. 3 additional factors were included in last segment of survey for their relevance in Indian context (in Blue).

Preparing Survey Questionnaire

OBJECTIVE The objective of this research was to capture the pedestrian environment and walking behaviour in different Indian cities across age, gender and socio-economic factors through survey. To identify the various factors that influence walkability and measure user’s perception towards their importance and perceived satisfaction. Also, to measure how satisfied the pedestrians are with the current state of the Pedestrian environment in their cities and take their suggestions for improvement.

The main challenge of the study was to conduct the survey virtually due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Pilot Study, Feedback, Corrections Survey Circulation Personal Contacts Social Media Platforms

3. Data Analysis Survey Profile Importance Performance Analysis Observations and Trends

SURVEY PREPARATION To understand the perceptions of pedestrians, online survey was conducted in Hindi and English. Users were asked to rate the factors based on how important they are for their walking environment and how satisfied they are with the same. Additionally, the survey asked users about their socio-economic background, their walking behaviour and their opinion on the state of pedestrian environment in their cities.

CONCEPT The housing scheme needed to be simple in design, low cost and had to respond strongly to the local context. The construction needed to be simple enough to be easily constructed by local people in minimal time. We studied the vernacular houses of the area, their design principles and the materials and construction techniques applied by the local people. On the same lines, we proposed a housing scheme with bamboo as the structural material, bricks for the walls and thatch roof but with latest seasoning, foundation and roofing technologies to increase the life span of the houses.

1,30

TEAM Includine me, we were a team of 12 Swiss students and 6 Indian students from diverse fields like Architecture, Construction, Interior Design and Building Technology. We collaborated with skilled Bamboo artisans who taught us and helped us in constructing one of the proposed houses.
