What to expect from this portfolio?

This portfolio attempts to summarize my learnings, experiences and discoveries over the period of 5 academic years. It demonstrates the kind of relationship I have and want to have with Architecture. These selected works express the variety in type, nature and scale of projects I have worked on. I believe architecture has the power to impact one’s perception about spaces, experiences, lifestyle and health in the long run. Thriving architecture can be achieved with sufficient knowledge of materials, having the right tools & technology and the ability to manifest the amalgamte into reality.

-ABOUTI am an open minded, forward looking, inquisitive and motivated individual with fair interpersonal skills. I second to Roland Barthe’s thoughts on architecture - “Architecture is always dream and function; expression of a Utopia and instrument of a Convenience.” Apart from being a passionate professional, I am a science enthusiast who loves to read about and discuss on Astronomy and Current Affairs.

The center primarily offered an opportunity to work on residential, hospitality and commercial projects on top of conducting research in real estate and urban economics. It also emphasized in making explicit orthographic drawings consequently developing a knack for detailing.

the design of an astro-tourism center & educational facility at mount abu, rajasthan, india UNDERGRADUAT E T HESIS 2020 - SEMEST ER 10 T YPE: RECREAT IONAL AND VISIT ING FACILIT Y

“

A model of the cosmos… this is what architecture since the beginning of time has sought to represent. Is it possible to express our own contemporary notions of what the universe is about?

The Astro-tourism center at Mount Abu is such an attempt.

Antiquity testifies architecture representing a symbiotic relationship between humans and the heavens. This dissertation explores these connections in a cosmic landscape. Although India’s space program began in the early1960s, it has gained new prominence since the past half-decade. A few political leaders have promoted the space program as a symbol of the country’s rising stature internationally and a bulwark of its defense capabilities.

It is expected by 2022 that the Indian Space Agency sends a manned mission to space i.e. a vyomanaut (Indian astronaut) into space. Thus, the exponential growth in the field of astronomy has resulted in educational edifices and local bodies falling behind in astronomy education. A quick research on the internet will prove the absence of such kind of facility in the country; thus, paving way to take up the dissertation topic. The project aims at designing an Astro-tourism center providing recreational and visiting facilities of astronomical sciences with an attempt to focus on maximum interaction with the unbuilt. The proposal shall be envisaged as a portal connecting man and the cosmos whilst celebrating astronomy and cosmology - a space odyssey. The proposal is visualised as a contemporary interpretation of what the universe is about. It is based on available research, certain cosmic simulations like the solstices and equinoxes and attempting to frame them through architecture.The proposed facility is located on Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India, near the Gurushikhar Observatory of Astrophysical Sciences and approximately 10kms from the Mount Abu Infrared Observatory, a leading research center of astronomy in India.

” CONCEPT The proposed facility acts as a medium between the heavens and earth, with an intention to connect its users with the night sky. It’s architecture engages with the sky, accentuating the astronomical events.

APPROACH The proposed site is placed in a cosmic envelope envisioning the conglomeration of recreational and visiting facilities with a learning center to provide an outright experience to the users.

3. INVESTIGATING COSMIC LANDSCAPE

4. CHOOSING SQUARE ONE

The cosmic landscape was explored using 2D sun path simulator and planetarium softwares which show exactly what you see when you look up at the sky from any given location.

Post investigation enabled fixing the elevation of educational hub primarily. Other spaces fell in line.

Educational hub

The inferences from terrain gradient mapping will help in identifying the potential areas to locate the proposal on the west facing mountain.

The identified site, with an approximate development size of 400m X 75m resides on the west sloping land of the mountain.

Museum component

The museum component’s design involves an intended tour for tourists, complete with a mandatory manoeuvring path to ensure maximum visitor engagement. This trip takes you on an expedition from the history of the universe to the future endeavours of mankind. On crossing the threshold, the visitor would find herself in a hemispherical volume resting on 8 pillars (the stardome) where she would be greeted by a spectacular play of light created by glass slabs placed in the dome marking the positions of stars on the day the project broke ground.

Each major space is linked by a tunnel with a slit of glass in its roof, signifying sky as a guiding element for the route forward.

The radial layout of Stonehenge has a direct impact on how the educational hub documenting cosmic events is created. The informal spaces on the upper level facilitate student-visitor contact, while the formal teaching spaces are located on the lower level.

The central circulatory spine is also carried through to the housing component. On either side of the circulatory spine are the lodging rooms and recreational areas. The datum of accommodation rooms is lowered by a metre to achieve a sense of privacy. An extra visual barrier is provided by a row of indoor bushes.

“

The site of a building is more than a mere ingredient in its conception. It is its physical and metaphysical foundation. Architecture and site should have an experiential connection, a metaphysical link, a poetic link.

Emerging Nagpur

”

MASTER SITE Area: 120 acres (48.56 hectares)

Nagpur, the ‘orange city’, is the winter capital of the state of Maharashtra. It is a fast-growing metropolis and the third largest city after Mumbai and Pune in the state. Located on the banks of river Nag (the Marathi word for snake) which flows in a serpentine path, the city lies precisely at the center of the country. Already an important hub in Central India due to its many national level educational, scientific and government institutions, Nagpur is poised to become a key logistics and commercial hub in the near future due to the upcoming Multi-modal International Passenger and Cargo Hub (MIHAN).

The project Housing in Nagpur is gradually witnessing a paradigm shift from independent houses to integrated townships. With several established players taking note of the steady growth of Nagpur and the opportunity this presents, the city is set to enjoy some worldclass developments. With this frame of reference, the project aims to create a miniature urban ecosystem to provide an experience of unmatched luxury in the heart of Nagpur specifically catering to the HIGs (higher income groups). An attempt is made to counterbalance the built with the unbuilt. The major intents of this project: • to derive a context responsive design • understand multiple building development • understand site planning and services

“

Architecture belongs to culture, not to civilization.

”

A case of duality Known as the City of Lakes, Bhopal - the capital city of Madhya Pradesh - nestles in the central part of India with an undulating elevation owing to numerous lakes and hills. Founded by Raja Bhoj around the 11th-century, the city gained prominence after the Raja constructed the earlier man-made lake in India known as Bhojtal. In effect, Bhopal is two cities: the old town which includes fascinating mosques, winding streets, great dining spots, and bustling chowks lies to the north. On the other side of the lake is New Bhopal - modern, with wide streets, shopping centers, luxury hotels and restaurants.

The project Bhopal has a rich Nawabi charm; it boasts of a reputation of being governed by four generations of Begums, under whose reign the city acquired its infrastructural and architectural reputation. With an affluent & rich historical backdrop, the project is a contemporary interpretation and attempts to achieve a continuum of nature, culture and architecture. The proposal sits on a topographic gradient of 15 meters abutting Kaliasot dam in central Bhopal. The primary objective together with other design objectives demanded to achieve an equal cut and fill volume of land. The concept of a mandatory mobility pattern was investigated through a determined spatial layout that resulted in a loop circulation circuit for visitors.

ASSAGAO, A GLIMPSE

SELF - SUST ENANCE IN ASSAGAO

One of the finest North Goan settlements, nestled in the countryside between the roadways leading up to Anjuna and Mapusa, has recently attracted the attention of many visitors and businesspeople. Assagao, a biological hotspot in the tropical state of Goa, displays its natural variety, with the highest altitude of contour at 91 metres above sea level. Because of the differences in soil conditions and water availability, the valley’s sections have been divided into Hills, Orchards, Settlements, and Fields.

A settlement is self sustaining if it can perpetuate itself by independant efforts. Assagaon was a community of farmers and traders who made a livelihood by farming and selling their produce. Native cuisine of the village involves three main ingredients - rice, which was farmed in the low lying areas of Assagaon and irrigated either naturally through rains or by overflow of storm drains known as vaus; coconuts, which were found in abundance in this tropical village and were later farmed and traded, and fish, which was sold door to door by local fisherwomen.

Besides these components, people had private orchards where they produced fruits such as jackfruit, kokum, mango, and cashew. They also grew vegetables and flowers in their backyard and in front of their house for consuming.

The excess product was eventually exchanged for cash and other goods. Comunidades leveraged the profits from commercial agricultural and flower cultivation to fund public welfare projects.

Because of the fertile soil and high water content that resulted from Assagaon’s abundant rainfall, these agri-based activities were practical and well-functioning. Each household had two separate or shared wells, one for irrigating their front and backyard crops and the other for household usage. The locals built their homes out of laterite stone and asson wood, as these are abundant in the region. As a result, Assagaon was able to meet all of the fundamental requirements for a settlement to thrive and develop.

Economy Agricultural produce Source

The western area of Assagao has flatter topography, which encourages the development of agro-fields, while the eastern region has higher terrain, which encourages the growth of orchards. Due to growing tourism, business, and political influences, Assagao, a hamlet with less than 4,000 people, has become a focus for impending developmental pressures in recent years. As a result, the goal of this painstakingly crafted version is to guide the reader through the village’s uncharted lanes and help them understand why everyone is drawn to it.

HOUSES OF T HE HEART LAND A common thing found in the residential architecture is centralized configuration of room enclosing an important central space. Typically one zone contains the communal living spaces while the other contains private, individual spaces.The service and utility spaces usually occupy a corner position or are strung along the backside of one of the zones. The advantage of this type of layout is its provision of a private exterior space, sheltered by the building form into which internal spaces can be directly related.

FUNCTION The project serves both as a café and a location for art shows. Though each activity has its own character, they are all intertwined. Through corridors, the public spaces are divided into semi-public and private areas. The clothes studio and brewery are open to the public, while the kitchen and artist studios are private in nature. A semi-public corridor connects these spaces. The property is expanded by a landscaped area in the villa’s backyard to enable other services for the artists, such as a homestay and a swimming pool.

The selected pocket is a gated secondary market street, abutting to the main pedestrian axis of Harmandir Sahib. It acts as an interface between the tertiary lanes and the main axis.

Segregation Predominantly pedestrian street with very less space for vehicular flow. Changes in degree of permeability, as the lane gets narrower as one goes forward.

Land Use

The Degree of enclosure very high due to 1:5 street width to building height ratio.

Every house in this lane is provided with light well, as the degree of light ventilation is less due to projections of balconies and jharokhas.

Increase in visual permeability , due to strong visual access is evident and forming a typical traditional architectural vocabulary along the street increase readability of the space.

Landuse

Mixed land use is observed in this one, ground floor is occupied by wholesale textile, godowns and residential units on upper floor.

Degree of Enclosure

The openings on the facades adjoining this street are similar in style and size. However to differentiate, the doors and windows of individual dwellings are painted with specific colors.

The physical setting of the place offers multifunctionality and flexibility (of use) thus increasing the variety of activities and number of users.

Public nature of the lane is reflected through the location of shops on either sides of the lanes and the main axis.

The bridges, is used for drying out clothes by the residents, they are used as interaction spaces, even the shadow casted by them below on the street are used as parking spaces by them.

Degree of Enclosure

The degree of enclosure is high in the alley in accordance to the abutting pedestrian axis as one enters into the alley through a comparatively bigger plaza.

Projections play a role in changing the degree of enclosure.

Segregation

Since its conception, the bridge has witnessed varied users and thus uses too.

Fundamentally, the bridge was constructed to reduce the travel distance.

Gradually, it became more adaptive in use for drying clothes, providing shade for parking vehicles and ultimately enhancing social interaction.

Acts as an interface between the pedestrian axis and the interior market streets. Flow of vehicular traffic is possible through the node.

Activity Pattern

Ground floor functions as the textile wholesale shops followed by residential units on upper floor.

Visual Permeability

Connecting elements as bridge acts as social pause point are a notable feature, increasing connectivity strengthening legibility

The degree of permeablility visually is low as one goes through the lane, due to the street width to building height ratio and the projections of each floors obstructing the view.

The porous barriers are permeable for the pedestrians and acts as a THRESHOLD for the upcoming path.

KEY PLAN

The foreground plaza provided around the periphery of HARMANDIR SAHIB acts as podium . It is provided to honor a sacred significant place

Flow of the path defined by parallel planes of rhythmic pattern providing continuity and leading us to anticipate what comes next.

The rhythmic ornamented facade hides upon the organic taste thus, making it an interface of the two realms.

A unifying movement characterized by a patterned repetition of formal elements creating superficial legibility on the facades.

Along the path, there exists a natural diversity and complexity and as a whole is properly disposed to produce a harmonious arrangement.

The path space relationship used to approach and enter functionally and symbolically important spaces.

The foreground plaza of the GOLDEN TEMPLE, the ultimate destination provides a wide angular vision making it attainable eventually creating a mind frame.

The terminal element HARMANDIR SAHIB on axis serves to both send and receive its visual thrust.

25

Segregations Pedestrian and vehicular routes are segregated after perticular point in the street using baricades.

This provides greater permeability for pedestrians engaged in various activities.

The coexistence of jain temple, shani temple and the holy Sikh shrine substantiate the population it caters belonging to varied beliefs.

Activity pattern

The street majorly being a market place attracts pedestrian flow along the shop fronts.

This also leads to different sprawls covering the street. the degree of permeability hence generated has a pattern for pedestrians to walk along the edges majorly.

CITY SELECTION:

vision : A context is a constantly changing fabric. Every event happening in it is inuenced by its culture.

Culture manifests the ideologies of society. A strong cultural context is established by social learning in human societies.To retain the purity of this cultural context it is important to understand & reimplement its conceptions with virtuous changes

CASE STUDIES :

Nagpur conveniences scope for developments due to it’s organic planning. In the course of these developments, failing of ideas generate obscure patches which have great potential to be used for interaction motives.

Catering to these observations, and addressing the ultimate core by intervening in the degrading quality of interaction with an intention of change, spreading to the peripheral whole.

Small intervention interposes a compact change which leads to an extensive impact “Before I Die”, a global art project leads to an extensive impact by promoting human contact that gradually generates a sense of association amongst the people.

The exible design ensures the easy replication which will adapt itself in any situation.

SITE SELECTION CRITERIA: The ESSENCE OF A SPACE is a very fragile aspect. It is the identity, which advances with time. If lost with the journey, it can lead to NEGLIGENCE and ultimately LOSING ITS ORIGINAL

IDENTITY.

This essence can be recreated by activating SOCIAL INTERACTIONS through an alternative approach of

CONCISE INTERVENTIONS. TIME is an important aspect which

has been in existence since the inception. Manifestation of time can only be done in accordance to the situation.

SITE JUSTIFICATION:

Mahal is packed with tangible reminders of its past glory and known for its commercial mark.The realm has expanded according to its need, creating closely knit urban areas.

Traversing from Gandhi gate the market is observed to be one dimensional, stagnantly holding its dynamism and diversity.

On the left of the diversion same character has sustained while on the counter part its trait disintegrates, the street speaks particularly of formal fabric.

The impact of “NARSINGH TALKIES” from yester years jerked upon the vibrancy of market. It aunted and degraded the ambience and was the embryo developing negative vibes. Being the epicenter for the change its whiff has still not dissipated leading to today's scenario.

In spite of mahal being a diversied context, Bhausaheb surve memorial has become an epicenter for spreading negative vibes serving itself as a base for drunkards.

Before 1864The royal complex of ‘Bhosale wada’.

Year 1864Fire destroyed the whole complex.

Year 1904NMC planned to introduce market on the deserted land.

Year 1964Town hall, garden ,library and Narsingh talkies were planned and executed as seen today.

Year 1997The space around the statue is a strong congregational space promoting healthy interactions.

Year 2006The space started deteriorating over the time.

OF PROPOSED The attitude of SITE drunkards compelled the authority to conne the site by building boundary to terminate misconduct.

The barricaded dead wall eventually hampers the connectivity with the ambience.

On the contrary, building boundary wall created assenting state for the unethical behaviour.

The malpractices were accelerated, owing to blunt simulated lightning conditions.

The Surve Memorial served as threshold, which has been concealed.

The ground surface is leveled up to curb the ongoing malpractices By allowing people to interact with the context.
