01. SITE HISTORY

The location designated for the cultural center adjacent to the pedestrian-friendly Janpath has a history of serving as a venue for transient exhibits and fairs that have attracted attendees from various parts of Jaipur.

Upon integrating the building program, the auditorium was elevated, thereby creating a flexible space beneath that functions as a multi-purpose amphitheater and provides unobstructed views at ground level.

A courtyard has been planned designed to accommodate these exhibits and function as an egalitarian cultural arena. The remaining facilities are arranged to encircle this shaded courtyard and its accompanying arched pathway.

To mitigate the effects of the harsh northern summers, external shading devices have been integrated into the building’s facade. Pathways for pedestrains and roads for vehicular and service circulation have been incorporated.

03. ASCENSION AND IMMERSION

Starting from the sunken public space, a raised walkway traverses through the center, offering glimpses of the amphitheater, galleries, a water feature, and culminating in the landscape with a sweeping panoramic vista of the entire complex.

The building has been carefully articulated to represent the unique identity of the city. The facade and massing of the structure have been purposefully crafted to facilitate self-shading, create shaded internal open spaces and water features, and minimize heat gain.

RECLAIMING DECAY

Landscape + Urban Design, 2022

Academic / Individual

Location: Nagpur, Maharashtra, IN

Site Area: 4897 sqm. / 1.2 acres

With the rapid growth of urban populations, Indian cities are experiencing extensive construction and renewal. However, the resulting C&D waste is frequently deposited on vacant land or in landfills. This practice causes the sites to fall into a state of decay, becoming an eyesore for the city. This project focuses on a similar site and poses a question: can we reclaim our cities’ waste?

The design uses natural processes such as erosion and decomposition to create a new landscape that will renew itself over the course of years. These decay processes are expedited by the design to form habitats suitable for various wildlife and human activities. Additionally, the design integrates an exhibition of the decay process, incorporating areas dedicated to moss gardens, concrete deterioration garden, rock and geology mounds etc. All these elements contribute to a lush, terraced landscape that forms a community gathering place, fulfilling the mission of transforming a dilapidated dumping ground into an urban oasis.

The site has been manipulated to produce levels, leveraging its inherent slope by shaping it into platforms with gentle gradients that facilitate walking.

These levels are arranged to offer various activities for visitors, with the duration of stay dictating the progression from one level to another. At the highest point, a transit plaza provides quick access to secondary transport, while at the lowest level, a leisurely stroll is possible along a trail.

The design facilitates the collection of rainwater from the adjoing area and channels it through the entire site to slow down the flow of water and maximize percolation.

To achieve this, terrace retaining walls made of pervious gabion walls with layers of gravel backfill were constructed in an east-west direction, which runs perpendicular to the direction of stormwater flow. These walls act as both filters and dissipators, which reduces the rate of the runoff and ensures infiltration.

PUNAPUR POLICE STATION

Pardi Punapur TPS Police Station, Ongoing

Competition / Group

Location: Nagpur, MH, IN

B/U Area: 2915 sqm.

The Punapur Police Station project is a collaborative effort between the Nagpur Smart City initiative and aims to create a sustainable and resilient police station that aligns with Smart City principles. The building is designed to achieve net-zero energy and water usage while ensuring resilience to urban water and energy vulnerabilities. Additionally, the design focuses on maintaining thermal comfort during heatwaves. Furthermore, the project utilizes low-energy systems like passive downdraft evaporative cooling towers that help to reduce the cooling load from refrigerant-based systems. Proper annual scheduling of these systems ensures that the building maintains thermally comfortable conditions at all times. The design also incorporates the use of local materials, such as bamboo, as an external skin and shading device. The shading device has undergone prototyping and optimization to ensure that the intervention is scalable and has market potential.

PROBLEM

Exporting generated electricity by on-site renewable energy systems from buildings to the grid is only slightly profitable in many countries. Therefore, it is required to investigate the benefits of sharing generated energy in a microgrid within a community of buildings in the Pardi locality.

OBJECTIVE

Reducing dependency on the grid, Thereby helping to mitigate the per capita carbon dioxide emissions.

Access to cheaper, renewable energy.

SCENARIO

Potential revenue stream for renewable energy generators.

Encourages load shifting to deal with peak periods on the grid. In time improving grid resilience.

Peer-to-Peer Energy Sharing Mechanism

Fig # Energy and money flow for peer- to- peer and peer- to- grid trading among the 4 buildings To address fluctuations in energy use throughout the day, a microgrid connects nearby buildings with renewable energy sources to the police station. This system allows buildings to share excess energy, balancing consumption with generation. This not only solves the imbalance problem but also creates revenue for the police station and saves up to 30% on energy costs.

There are N neighboring buildings ( here we have considered 4 buildings: Skill development center, multi-level parking, fire station and police station) which are in close vicinity so that it is possible to have physical connections between them for energy transfer. Each building is considered to be owned by the Smart city project of Nagpur and is connected to the national power grid through net metering.

Each building can share its surplus electricity, and can also buy and sell it to the grid using smart metering.

When a building is unable to meet its electricity demands from its RES, it purchases electricity from other buildings, if there is any.

In case other buildings also don’t possess sufficient energy, they will be purchased from the utility.

MODULAR COOLING CENTRE

Design-Build , 2023

Concept Competiton / Group

Location: Nagpur, MH, IN

B/U Area: 126 sqm.

Since the introduction of Heat Action Plans (HAPs), cooling centers have been a part of the plan for cities. However, they are usually implemented temporarily in places like gardens located in residential communities during summers, leaving the most vulnerable in the city without access to them. The project aims to design modular cooling centers that can be easily implemented anywhere, particularly in areas like markets where heat vulnerability is high. The modular construction allows for the adjustment of size, making it suitable for the available space. The project also addresses maintenance and operating costs by incorporating two commercial shops in the design that generate a revenue stream. One version of the design features solar panels that make the structure net-zero, subject to initial investment by the municipal body. The design’s flexibility and inclusion of multi-use spaces such as a community hall, art gallery, misting station, seating, and washrooms ensure that the structure is utilized throughout the year and not just during summers.

Nagpur’s markets are always bustling with activity and attract a diverse group of people, including vendors, retailers, shoppers, and tourists. However, these markets have been established informally for a long time and lack basic facilities like seating areas, restrooms, drinking water dispensers, and areas for cooling down, which is particularly important during hot summer months. This lack of infrastructure can be particularly challenging for the urban poor and vulnerable individuals who rely on these markets to make a living.

Location: Bengaluru, KA, IN

B/U Area: 11200 sqm

The Cunningham Hotel project is not just another addition to the skyline of Bengaluru; it’s a deliberate departure from the conventional. Situated on Cunningham Road, amidst the towering glass structures and aluminum composite panels that dominate the cityscape, this boutique hotel aspires to be a breath of fresh air — a departure from the mundane.

The challenge was to seamlessly integrate the new structure with the existing building—both structurally and geometrically. Internally, the challenge was to create a cohesive design language that seamlessly ties together the complex functions of a business hotel. The interiors needed to speak a unified story while allowing each space to maintain its individual identity. The aim was to provide an environment that caters to the needs of well-traveled guests, offering a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal.
