UTKARSH BHAWAN

GST BUILDING

LOCATION: GHAZIABAD (UTTAR PRADESH), INDIA YEAR: 2022

64TH GRIHA COMPETITION, NASA

UTKARSH BHAWAN IS A CULMINATION OF A FORMAL OFFICE BUILDING EXPERIENCE WITH A HOLISTICALLY GREEN APPROACH. IT IS STRATEGICALLY PERCHED BETWEEN GREEN POCKETS TO REJUVINATE THE EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH REGULER OCCUPANTS AND VISITORS.

THIS BUILDING IS THREE STORIED AND THE GROUND FLOOR IS MOSTLY HAVING OPEN FOR CIRCULATION SPACES AND CONNECTS THE BUILDING AND THE SITE GREENERY. ELEVATIONS IN THIS BUILDING ARE CREATED US ING INTERESTING COMBINATIONS OF LARGER FACADES WITH TIMBER LOU VRES, AND SMALLER FACADES WITH CLAY TILES. THE WEST FACADE, OR THE ENTRANCE FACADE GETS VIEW OF PARAMETRIC TREE STRUCTURES, WHICH ENHANCES THE AESTHETICS. LOUVRES ARE A COMMON ELEMENT IN GHAZIBAD’S ARCHITECTURE INSPIRED BY TRADITIONAL JAALIS.THE MAIN MA TERIALS USED IN THE BUILDIG ARE TIMBER LOUVRES CLAY TILES AND AAC BLOCK.THIS FACADE WHICH CAN BE VIEWED FROM THE ABUTTING ROAD, PROMOTES THE VALUE OF RECYCLING RESOURCES AVAILABLE, THE ARTIFI CIAL TREES ON SITE VIEWED FROM

THEABUTTING ROAD, PROMOTES THE VALUE OF RECYCLING RESOURCES AVAILABLE

•THE CONCEPT POINTS OUT THE TINY, YET SO EFFECTIVE WORK OF GRASSROOTS. GRASSROOTS ABSORB NUTRIENTS FROM ITS ENVIRONMENT AND CONVERT IT INTO USABLE EN ERGY FOR ITS PLANT.

•THROUGH BIOMIMICRY, OUR INTEGRAL PARAMETRIC SHAD ING STRUCTURES WORK IN A SIMILAR MANNER. THESE ARE 2 MODULES; SOLAR TOWER AND WATER CATCHMENT TOWER .

•THESE ABSORB RAW ENERGY LIKE SOLAR RADIATION AND WATER VAPOURS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT, AND CONVERT THEM INTO USABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY. THIS ENERGY IS THEN UTILIZED BY THE BUILDING IN THE FORM OF ELECTRICI TY AND WATER.

THE SITE PLANNING IS DONE KEEPING IN MIND THE SETBACKS AND AREA STATE MENT. ENTRANCE TO THE SITE IS THROUGH WEST. THE PARKING IS SEGREGATED AT THE NORTH SIDE AND LAND SCAPING AT THE SOUTH.

LANDSCAPING AND RECREATIONAL SPAC ES ARE STRATEGICALLY PLACED AT SOUTH, SO THAT PARAMETRIC SOLAR STRUCTURES CAN TAP MAXIMUM HEAT, WHICH WAS INFERRED FROM THE SOLAR RADIATION ANALYSIS.

CIRCULATION IS FAIRLY DISTRIBUTED, AS ON GROUND FLOOR, THE BUILDING IS PARTIALLY OPEN. DUE TO LOW PROXIMI TY OF SITE FEATURES REQUIRED, ATM, IN FIRMARY, POST OFFICE, A CANTEEN AND EV CHARGING PONTS ARE PROVIDED ON SITE.

GREEN TECHNIQUES:

TEMPERATURE REDUCTION- EXTERIOR FINISHES ARE EITHER NATURAL (LIKE THE TIMBER ON FA CADE), OR COATED WITH REFLECTIVE MATERIAL LIKE WHITE PAINTS FROM GRIHA CATALOGUE. THE HEAVY LANDSCAPING HELPS TO REDUCE THE HEAT GAIN THROUGH SHADING AND INCREASE VAPOUR COOLING THROUGH TRANSPIRATION. THE ORIENTATION OF BUILDING ( LONGER AXIS ALONG EAST-WEST) ALSO HELPS IN TEMPERATURE REDUCTION.

COURTYARD- COURTYARD IS A PASSIVE COOL ING TECHNIQUE. DUE TO SOLAR RADIATION , AIR BECOMES HOT AND RISES. DUE TO LOW AIR PRESSURE CREATED IN THIS SPACE, COOL AIR RUSHES TO FILL THE VOID.

WING WALL- IT PROJECTS OUTWARD NEXT TO A WINDOW, THIS CREATES A HIGH PRESSURE ZONE IN ONE SIDE AND LOW PRESSURE ZONE ON OTHER SIDE OF WINDOW. WING WALLS ARE EF FECTIVE ON SITES WITH LOW OUTDOOR WIND VELOCITY AND VARIABLE WIND DIRECTIONS. IN THE DESIGN, FACADES THEMSELVES ACT AS WING WALLS.

BIO RETENTION- THE PROCESS OF REMOVING POLLUTANTS AND SEDIMENTS FROM STORM WATER RUNOFF IS KNOWN AS BIO-RETENTION. THE BIO-RETENTION’S PRIMARY GOAL IS TO RE DUCE PEAK RUNOFF WHILE ALSO REMOVING CONTAMINANTS FROM STORMWATER RUNOFF.

MEDITATION & YOGA RETREAT CENTERE

LOCATION: ALAPPUZHA (KERALA), INDIA YEAR: 2021 ARCHMELLO COMPETITION

CONCEPT OF YOGA

THE ANCIENT RISHIS OF INDIA VERY WELL UNDERSTOOD THE LIMITATIONS OF THE PSYCHO – PHYSICAL BODY OF HUMANS. IN THEIR SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH “WHO AM I ?” THEY ATTAINED A STATE OF MIND IN WHICH THEY TRANSCENDED THESE LIMITATIONS AND SUFFERING AND ENCOUNTERED THEIR TRUE “SELF” FACE TO FACE. THE PROCESS BY WHICH ONE ATTAINS SUCH A BLISSFUL STATE OF UNION WITH ONE’S OWN HIGHER “SELF” IS CALLED YOGA. YOGA LITERALLY MEANS TO YOKE.THERE ARE “FIVE STATES OF MIND”THE MIND OF A YOGA ASPIRANT PASSES THROUGH 5 DIFFERENT STATES BEFORE ENLIGHTENMENT/YOGA.–KSHIPTA (SCATTERED) MUDHA (STUPID & CONFUSED) VIKSHIPTA (SOMETIMES ACTIVE, SOMETIMES DULL) EKAGRA (ONE-POINTED) – CONCENTRATED MIND.

NIRUDDHA (WELL CONTROLLED CONCENTRATION) – IT IS THE SUPERCON SCIOUS STATE OF “SAMADHI”. THE 5 STATES OF MIND PAVILION HERE WE SEE THE TANGIBLE FORM OF THE 5 STATES OF MIND MANIFESTED ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF MIND IN EACH STATE.THE ASPIRANT WHEN WALKS THROUGH THESE SPACES, HE/SHE EXPERIENCES THAT STATE OF MIND.AS IT IS SAID, YOGA IS POSSIBLE IN ONLY THE LATER 2 STATES OF MIND, HENCE THEIR STRUCTURE IS SO DESIGNED, THAT THERE IS A VISUAL CONNECTION WITH THE SCULPTURE OF A YOGI IN THE LAST 2 PAVILIONS. THE RIPPLES ON THE WATERBODY REPRESENT THE THOUGHT WAVES (VRITTIS) OF THE MIND.

CHITTA-VRITTI INSCAPE I

THE MEDITATION HALL – THIS HALL IS DESIGNED BY MAPPING THE FREQUENCY OF THE SACRED WORD “OM”, WHICH ACCORDING TO THE YOGIS IS ALSO THE SOUND OF THE UNIVERSE – THE ANAHATA – MEANING THE UNSTRUCK SOUND, CONSTANTLY VIBRATING, MAPPING WHICH BY THE PROCESS OF CYMATICS WE DERIVE THE FORM OF THE MEDITATION HALL. THE FORM IS ACOUSTI CALLY PERFECT FOR ONE DESIRING A CALM SPACE FOR MEDITATION – THE MODERN CAVE.

INCARE CARDIAC HOSPITAL

LOCATION: ATAL NAGAR, NAYA RAIPUR (CHHATTISGARH), INDIA YEAR: 2022 ACADEMIC STUDIO PROJECT, 6TH SEMESTER

INCARE IS A CARDIAC HOSPITAL BUILDING WHICH IS MOSTLY DESIGNED BY FOLLOWING THE FUNCTION AND EASY CIRCULATION. IT IS STRATEGICALLY DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS WHERE ONE PART HAVING OUTER PATIENT DE PARTMENT (OPD) AND OTHER PART HAVING IPD AND OTHER AREAS.

BY THIS DIVISION IT BECOME EASILY ACCESSABLE . BUILDING HAS SEPARATE ENTRANCES FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES LIKE EMERGENCY, MAINENTRANCE, OPD ENTRANCE ETC. FIRST FLOOR HAVING OPEN TERRACE AT THE FRONT SIDE WHICH IS VISIBLE FROM EACH FLOOR’S BALCONY. WITH IPD AND OPD, IT ALSO HAVE OTHER VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS LIKE, OPERATION THEATRE, CATH LAB, CATH REHAB, PEDRIATIC, GENERAL WARDS, DIAGNOSIS AREA ETC. AS BUILDING’S MATERIAL MAINLY CONCREATE AND GLASS. BUT AT THE EX TERIOR FACADE IT HAVING WOODEN PANEL WHICH ENHANCE THE VIEW FROMMTHE OUT SIDE AND ALSO CONNECT THE BUILDING WITH SITE’S GREENARY. THE SITE HAVING OTHER BUILDINGS ALSO LIKE DOCTOR’S AND NURSE’S RESIDENT BLOCK, INSTITUTE BUILDING.

CUBE3 MOTEL DESIGN

LOCATION: MUMBAI-KOLKATA HIGHWAY (NH6) AH45, DEBRA, WEST MIDNAPUR -721126 WEST BENGAL, INDIA YEAR: 2021 ACADEMIC STUDIO PROJECT, 6TH SEMESTER

MOTEL IS BASICALLY A PROVISION OF LODGING, PARKING BESIDE ROAD COMPERITIVELY SMALLER THAN HOTEL, ALSO KNOWN AS ‘MOTOR HOTEL’. CUBE 3 IS A MOTEL DESIGN WHERE THE CONCEPT IS MINIMALISM, MOTEL’S AMBIENCE WILL BE CALM. THE SIMPLE DESIGN WILL BE HAVING SIMPLE GEO METRIC FORMS WITH LIMITED AND PLAIN MATERIALS. NEAT AND STRAIGHT COMPONENTS WILL BE IN REPETITION TO GIVE A SENSE OF ORDER AND UNIFICATION. ONE OF THE MAJOR ACCPECTS TO ARRANGE THE BLOCKS THAT IT CAN CREATE A HOMELY INTERRACTIVE AMBIENCE WITHOUT COM PROMISING THE PRIVACY OF THE USERS. ACCORDING TO THE BRIEF THIS MOTEL HAVE CAPACITY OF TEN SUITES EXCLUDING SEPARATE DRIVER’S REST ING PLACE AND ACCOMODATION OF DINING AREA WITH BOTH INDOOR AND OUT DOOR SITTING.
