DIVIYA KAARTHICK RAVICHANDRAN
As an architect, I believe that architecture permeates every aspect of our lives, including the realm of cinema. My goal is to challenge traditional architectural norms and forge new paths that prioritize responsiveness, sustainability, inclusivity, and impact.

MASTER’S PROJECT (A MULTIPURPOSE SPACE)
AXONOMETRIC VIEW
Carrickfergus is a town of historic town with strong cultural and heritage offer, with a sea front, Castle, and old fortress wall and potential market on its doorstep-offering lots of assets to the town, for even half of which many a destination would give a vision and competitive ‘sense of place’, for the town. The challenge is to bring all this together, identity improvements needed in visitor experiences, products and events, infrastructure and access, and channel the energies so evident within the town.

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT VIDEO
SPATIAL LAYERING Cinematic spatial layering is a powerful technique that can greatly enhance the visual impact of a film. We used this technique to create a sense of realism and depth, and to draw the viewer’s attention to specific elements within a shot or a scene.

THESIS - KALANJIYAM (CRAFT VILLAGE)
AERIAL VIEW
TThe preservation of arts and crafts are most needed in milennial century as we forward we forget to replenish our ancient heritage and culture and how it functioned in establishing both identity as well as an lifestyle practise that is celebrated over years. The originality of these products aren’t reachable to the public domain whereas the resellers play an speculating role dissolving the nature of the product . The thesis was formulated with an idea of hosting various craftsmen under the same platform to reveal the identity of the art and artmaker life and values involved in making the product to the buyer .
SITE PLAN
Village Unit - Exploded view
The queen post rafter is used to frame the structure and pot tile layed over and the adobe bricks for wall construction enhance an traditional method approach bringing back the life to artists.
LIVING VILLAGE The culmination of artist settlements from varied contexts in and around Kumbakonam are brought here to establish an host platform for a variety of arts and crafts. To add value to the existing village the zoning of living village are cited next to it. The arts like making of instruments like veena, nathaswaram, art plate & glass painting of Tanjore, doll making are initated in frontyard of house, whereas activities like bronze idols and other traditional lamps like Kuttu Vilakku are involved chiseling using fire is carried out in workshop sheds.

There is an open arena for the visitors to stand by the working shed area to watch the activity indulged in it - considering the safety reasons of not to enter beneath the grills.

STAGE 2
The developement of masses around the gallery courtyard was an initial stage of development with the role of trees playing an major part in evolution of this complex. The river that runs paralel to the complex highlights the natura aesthetic available within the site.
STAGE 3
The open courtyards were formulated with an single focal point from within the complexes and the complexes were substituted with angular planes to meet the view angle demand and to avoid the excess glare that dissolves the function.
The conversion of sharp angles were blended into multiple angles with cavity wall enhancment to trap the heat in between maintaining an moderate environment within the gallery.It also ensures multiple focal points all around the complex strengthening the visual focus of one complex over another.

SHOPPING BAZZAR-AN OVERVIEW
Concept development The shopping bazaar is provided with 31 stalls with an idealogy of addressing the 31 handicrafts as highlighted and addressed by the Indian government. To develop a common platform for interpreting the various arts of Indian tradition under one roof enthralling the cultural tracebacks at national level. The zoning of shopping bazzar has to represent some identity in terms of function - spatial planning and aesthetic manner. In terms of functional planning the fluidity of design was initated to preserve the trees in the site. The fluidity nature of planning acts as an surprise element while traversing through the pathway of shopping bazzar.
