STUDIO IV PURPOSE OF ARCHITECTURE

AERIAL VIEW OF NAVRANGPURA

PURPOSE OF ARCHITECTURE This studio made us question the real purpose behind architecture .

It helped in changing the way we perceive it with the the help of various sketches and documentations of the city of Ahmedabad and CEPT University.

One had to observe and comprehend different small details around oneself as well as larger aspects of the city as a whole.

STUDIO V TECTONIC OPERATIONS DENTAL CLINIC

TECTONIC OPERATIONS DENTAL CLINIC The program given was to design a small dental clinic as an intervention to an already exisitng hostel block and make proper working drawings which can be read by the contractor.

Material explorations along with structural analysis of the design were also worked upon in detail.

STUDIO III THE UNIT, THE INSTITUTION AND THE IN-BETWEEN BUILDING ELEMENTS

THE UNIT, THE INSTITUTION AND THE IN BETWEEN The brief required us to design a buidling that had an exhibition space, PG accomodations and commercial shops and offices.

Here, the offices along with the shops are on the ground floor, PG rooms are on the second and third and the exhibition space is on the fourth and fifth

BUILDING ELEMENTS This course taught us to look at buildings from a materialistic and structural point of view. .

The adjacent model is a 1:20 scaled model of a small house which shows elements like I sections, masonry walls with an air gap insulation, layers on the floor and the roof structure.

WORKSHOPS ARANYA HOUSING INTERVENTION RETHINKING CAMPUS DESIGN - IIM BANGALORE

RETHINKING CAMPUS DESIGN- IIM BANGALORE IIM Bangalore designed by BV Doshi has an amazing campus but none of those beautiful spaces are used for what they were designed for.

We had to create social interventions across the campus to increase the interaction between the students and make sure these spaces are properly used.

The proposed idea here, is to introduce various structures that involve sound, smell and touch like fountains, installations to intrigue students and bring them together thereby increasing interaction.

ARANYA HOUSING To inaugurate BV Doshi winning Pritzker Award, CEPT organised an exhibition to show students’ interventions on his projects.

In this case, Aranya Housing by Doshi has been modified at certain places by me and my group and portrayed in the form of a 1:20 scale model.

STUDIO I ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN One of the first exercises in architecture school was to find out the basic principles (balance, contrast, texture etc) and elements (shape, size, colour) in a popular building.

Falling Water by FL Wright had excellent examples that have been analysed and sketched out in the adjacent drawings.

STUDIO II DESIGNING A CAFETERIA

CAFETERIA DESIGN The brief required us to design a cafeteria integrating previous exercises into the design which included three separate activities.

The design includes the cafeteria along with two guest rooms for watching TV, work stations and a place for meditation.

The area allocated was about 100 sq.m on a site located near a village north east of the main city of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh
