SOORAJ R M

It was learing that kept strengthning my soul from the exceptionally youthful, where I take advantage of each opportunity that came my way.

As a youngster, I begun my melodic travel as a part of brassband. Where I learnt to work & perform beneath weight. When off work, I adore examining my own-self for I believeing in treating oneself.

I adore the sound of praise, the fulfillment of a fair well done. I too select to let the ‘boos of failure’ fuel into my resolve to be indeed willing to memorize, develop and extend my vision and involvement of life

Sustainability INDUSTRIAL BUILDING

Studio Guide :- Shrutie Shah & Asijit Khan

The intent of the studio was to provoke students to analyze, introspect and explore the process of design using various mediums. Through this process one estalishes a more informed and aware sense of decision making. The studio focused on deducing inferences from observations through the act of contextual mapping. Further, the students were encouraged to develop intents from their studies, by making exploratory models. These models helped take positions, which further got tranlated into an architectural expression.

Site location : Kanjeevaram, Tamil-Nadu

Site area : 10000 sq.m

Duration : 14 Weeks

Kanjeevarm has a very rich collective memory as it has deep rooted cultural importance and its craft.

It being 60km away from sea-coast has a hot and humid climate. and typology being industrial makes one think about making it a more sustainable structure that can respond to its surroundings and its people.

Here, The intent was to make it a Center for Industry and Experience, by using the Architectural Character ‘Datum’. That encouraging to make it a place for public involvement in enriching and learing of Art of weaving.

It was for the people of the city, THE WEAVERS and their sustainance in the mordern world of machines

Art/Craft Weavers Educate,Experience & Experiment Profit

Studio encouraged one to have their own definition of sustainability. That experimented through different sets of intent models(Q), where one could understand the strategy to respond to climatic elements like air, moisture, heat, light etc. Then transferring those learnings to sketches(W) and then to smaller zoning models(E)1to have clear understanding about the place making for the program performed.

Studio Guide :- Asijit Khan

The studio focused on deducing inferences from observations through the act of contextual mapping. Further, the students were encouraged to develop intents from their studies, by making exploratory models. These models helped take positions, which further got translated into an architectural expression. While discussing Paschimvahini as a ritualistic place with it’s rich heritage, the studio concluded that the common denominator bringing it together was- Time. This became the departure point for formalizing the project, therefore the name Pràhr.

Site location : Srirangapatana, Mysore, Karnataka

Site area : 6000 sq.m

Duration : 14 Weeks

Mapping and understanding the site

It started with understanding the site in relation to vegetation, river and open land. Here the built space is largely less to the open space, because of which we can observe huge vegetation around this place. Here, we can see the land is divided in 2 ways. One, by the roads where one can pass through easily just by walking. Two, the river where one need the secondary physical element to cross through. And roads and river divides land mass in their own distinguishing way. Here, we can see the change and engagement of people based on ownership. Three types of ownership we can observe here are Public, Royals and Private. Another inference here observed is that the public settlement as whole here is happening towards river.

There are different perspective to the location thats because of add on to depth to the plan. There is clear distinguish between land and water. The bridge becomes line of division for river itself which divides the 2 landmass. Many activities happen at the Ghats, from hobbies to livelihood simply getting relaxed, etc. But the interesting thing here is that the places where activity happen vary from river end to further away (based on interaction with water in activity.

Loctaion:- Paschima Vahini is a outskirts of Srirangapattana. Srirangapattna belongs to Mandya District. Its about 20 mins drive from Mysuru

Studio Guide :- Umesh Nuchin

The Intert of studio was to make the learner understand on what makes a space , place. From looking at the places in and around ones native, to understanding the architectural attribute that contribute the Place making

Site location : KRS Backwaters, Mysuru

Site area : 500sq.m

Duration :14 Weeks

It was a Inter-pretation center for a person known as ‘Man who knew Infinity’ Sir Srinivasan Ramanujan

Here, the internt was drawing from a human. There man had numbers to work with series and sequences but here it was more to work architecural, where series happens through places, circulations, levels and views. These spaces reveled in creating a sense of surprise at every level.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The fabrication of elements have been followed throughout lobby and gallery. Elements are either projected from wall, roof or ground. Hence furniture are not considered as an individual element but as a part of wall, roof or ground. The materiality of the space has rusty and earthy essence.
