About me

I’m Sabi S Kumar, third-year student at DC School of Architecture & Design, Trivandrum. My spectrum of understanding in architecture is growing, from basic design to intricate campus planning.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I actively seek out opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills beyond the classroom. To use architecture as a tool for positive purposes I have participated in actual building projects, gone to masterclasses and attended workshops. My viewpoint has become more expansive, my critical thinking skills have been more refined, and my dedication to lifelong learning has been strengthened by these experiences.

KUFOS Fisheries Campus

The main idea behind the campus layout is to direct attention toward the nearby lake. This axis serves as the primary design basis for the whole campus. Divided the site into areas designated for public and private use. It is easy to move about the campus since bridges and walkways connect its many blocks.

Forming a visual and physical axis from the central core towards lake, serving as a spine for the whole campus.between the aquarium and the lake, the whole campus lyes.

Spacial Relationship

Conceptual Zoning

Subzoning

Creating a point of view to the centre heart of the campus, with an emphasis on the lake. For simplicity of access, the Admin and Academic were eventually blocks integrated into a single block. The first floor of the campus creates an enclosure inside the inner core creating a play of light and shadows. The corridors on the first level are broader than those on the ground floor.

The building houses public and semi-public areas, with the Aquarium, Museum, and Auditorium forming a public complex. Semipublic spaces include administrative areas accessible to students and the general public, while Hostel and Academic spaces are private.

The fluidic ramp design draws attention to the campus core’s entrance. The ramp concludes in a foyer that serves as a viewing platform for the lake and the entire campus.

Transitory Urbanism.

Location: Bagnolet, Paris

Type: Ephemeral Device Design

Softwares: AutoCad, SketchUp, Lumion, Photoshop, Enscape

This design proposal explores the concept of dynamic spaces that are detachable, easy to use, and interactive. By combining innovative architectural design with user centric features, the proposal aims to create adaptable environments that cater to the changing needs and preferences of users, promoting engagement, accessibility, and a sense of ownership.

Developing a modular design approach that allows for easy assembly and disassembly.

There was plenty of outdoor space which could have been incorporated in the structure. The open spaces are used as play area for the structure and the same device can be taken indoors during winters. The canopy of the trees around can also beutilised in the device. ‘the semi open space is a great area to be used.

The device in mind needs to cater to thekids, their parents and other adults. All the targeted user groups can use the device inthe provided space.

Type: RetroFitting

Softwares: AutoCad, SketchUp, Lumion, Photoshop

The Revathy Kalamandir, a former arts and film institute proposed for a major redesign, is located in Kinfra Film and Video Park. Through adaptive reuse, the design project seeks to revitalize this institutional building. The building will be transformed into a Bachelor of Design school with studios and workshop areas. By revitalizing the current building and establishing a dynamic, environmentally conscious space where students from many departments and communities come together, this effort hopes to usher in a new age of intentional utility and artistic culture.

The class room and labs are provided with the same louvers and glass so as to meet the function of lighting sand ventilation.

The facade also have louvers that provide adequate sunlight,ventilation and play of shadows when approaching from stairs.

The walls along the ramps has been utilized as display walls for exhibition and is also near the reception area.

Concept

The requirement was to connect both the existing buildings of visually contrasting character using a modern construction materials like concrete, Glass and steel into the existing mud structure. Using a connection block that to link both the buildings while also creating a visually pleasing structure. Further using louvers to enchance the function inside.
