HELLO, I AM RITWIK HALDER AND THIS IS MY ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO. AS AN INTRODUCTION, I AM A 21-YEAR-OLD ARCHITECTURE STUDENT OF FOURTH YEAR, SEEKING TO LEARN AND EXPAND MY REFERENCES IN ARCHITECCTURAL AND DESIGN FIELD. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURAL VALUES AND THE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES THAT IT INVOLVES. I HAVE A STRONG INTEREST IN DESIGN DEVELOPMENT , SKETCHING, GRAPHICS, VISUALISATION. I AM A FAST LEARNER ALWAYS SEEKING THE BEST SOLUTION FOR THE PROJECT. GLAD TO SHARE MY SELECTED WORKS WITH YOU.

UTKARSH BHAWAN

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 USING INTERESTING COMBINATIONS OF LARGER FACADES WITH TIMBER LOUVRES, 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 MATERIALS 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 ARTIFICIAL 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 ENERGY FOR ITS PLANT. •THROUGH BIOMIMICRY, OUR INTEGRAL PARAMETRIC SHADING 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 ELECTRICITY AND WATER. UTKARSH BHAWAN I P NO. 9

THE SITE PLANNING IS DONE KEEPING IN MIND THE SETBACKS AND AREA STATEMENT. ENTRANCE TO THE SITE IS THROUGH WEST. THE PARKING IS SEGREGATED AT THE NORTH SIDE AND LAND SCAPING AT THE SOUTH. LANDSCAPING AND RECREATIONAL SPACES 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 PROXIMITY OF SITE FEATURES REQUIRED, ATM, INFIRMARY, 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 FACADE), 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.

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 EFFECTIVE ON SITES WITH LOW OUTDOOR WIND VELOCITY AND VARIABLE WIND DIRECTIONS. IN THE DESIGN, F ​ ACADES THEMSELVES ACT AS WING WALLS.

COURTYARD- COURTYARD IS A PASSIVE COOLING 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. BIO RETENTION- THE PROCESS OF REMOVING POLLUTANTS AND SEDIMENTS FROM STORMWATER RUNOFF IS KNOWN AS BIO-RETENTION. THE BIO-RETENTION’S PRIMARY GOAL IS TO REDUCE 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 SUPERCONSCIOUS 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 P NO. 15

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 ACOUSTICALLY PERFECT FOR ONE DESIRING A CALM SPACE FOR MEDITATION – THE MODERN CAVE.

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 GEOMETRIC 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 COMPROMISING THE PRIVACY OF THE USERS. ACCORDING TO THE BRIEF THIS MOTEL HAVE CAPACITY OF TEN SUITES EXCLUDING SEPARATE DRIVER’S RESTING PLACE AND ACCOMODATION OF DINING AREA WITH BOTH INDOOR AND OUT DOOR SITTING.
