A CLEARING IN THE WOODS Visitor’s Centre Master of Architecture | Integrated Design Studio | Building Performance Univeristy of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ARCH 575 | Team of 03 | Fall 2021 Therm | WuFI | Climate Consultant | Cove.tool Instructor : Prof. Ralph Hamann

The studio was an opportunity to design a state-of-the-art facility however they will also focus on performance related issues of the building enclosure and their simulation using advanced computer softwares. Other aspects of the design such as structural, environmental and lighting issues will have equal importance during this studio.

The aim of the design revolves around the idea of taking the users on a journey through the 100 years of Chicago World Fair 1933.

The site is located at the Beverly Shores consisting of the five historical houses from the fair. The design intends to celebrate the houses and the futuristic theme of the fair.

The vibrant, modern and aesthetic commmemoration of the journey connects the users of all age groups with the houses directly or indirectly inducing curiosity to reach out to the houses and experience their aura first hand.

As the primary interface between interior and exterior environments, the building envelope is an important architectural component with great potential for impacting building performance.

The seminar focused on the theory, design, and analysis of building-envelope systems, with an emphasis on experimental approaches in the realms of energy performance, geometry, fabrication, and user experience.

TRANSFORMABLE STRUCTURES Deployable Physical Model Master of Architecture | Planning and Design of Structures ARCH 536 | Individual Project | Fall 2021 SketchUp | AutoCAD | Revit Instructor : Prof. Sudarshan Krishnan, PhD. The goal was to learn about an innovative structural system that serves special purposes and needs.

Just like disaster relief shelters where ease of transportation and rapid deployment are needed, for roofs of stadia to have all-weather sports, for structures used in responsive facades, for iconic public architecture to enliven a space, and whenever a structure needs to be reused without the burden of dismantling and reassembly.

VERTICAL URBAN PARK Art and Cultural Center Master of Architecture | Tokyo Studio | Urban Design ARCH 574 | Team of 02 | Spring 2022 (ongoing) Rhino | Revit | Sketchup Instructor : Prof. Botond Bognar

The studio focusses upon the Shibuya Station Plaza in Tokyo, where in the fast developing environment the city has lost it’s green and open spaces in its dense urban fabric.

The concept of the design is to use the primae location to its full potential and create a porous environment in the daily chaotic schedule of the context.

The aim is to create such a built environment which transparent enough to make its users treat it as an open space instead of a confined space.

TRAVERSING THE SAHIBI Riverfront Development Bachelor of Architecture | HUDCO Trophy | NASA Competition | Team Project | Spring 2019 AutoCAD | SketchUp | V-Ray

Sitting rightly glorified, in all our history books, not once the Indus Valley Civilization failed to inspire and astonish planners and architects all around.

Sahibi’s journey to the Yamuna through Delhi covers a stretch of 50 kms. Along this stretch, ten locations to act as prospective riverfront development points have been proposed.

Every module design responds to the context of each location. With these measures in place, the mammoth task of cleaning the dirtiest drain of the national capital diminishes to a small module.

SITE PLAN

Intuiting from the grid planning, water transportation and methodical drainage systems, the design alludes to our rich history and draws from it, its strongest holds. Further, it acknowledges the way which Najafgarh drain has been treated and aims to work on it and help it return to its original glory.

RIVERFRONT PLAN

One of the most important aspect of this design is that it desires to use the river for a lot more than just waste and promote the idea of sustainable lifestyle, by being designed in a way that discourages vehicular movements and promote pedestrians following enhancements in road network and efficient connectivity between any or every set of two points.

Cognition is the way, people understand their environment through immediate sensory experience coupled with memories from the past. The idea of cognitive mapping is used in spaces to give immediate sensory insights to the user.

Transition areas have distinct niches and terraces, formed due to interlocking of units, that act as cognitive spaces. Each space with its unique spatial identity functions as a separate green system.

The design delivers spaces that offer various instances of environmental sustainability.

Hence these spaces become a landmark in the daily transition of the users and leave a mark in their minds. Working of each sustainable system has human involvement.

Thus, making them more responsive and resposible to the environment.

The design interpretation starts from the basic idea of celebrating the pedestrians and cyclists. The podium is arranged strategically to enhance the user experience by providing fluent pathways and corridors through out the complex and also increase the commerce for the ‘retail-tainment’ zone.

The site is treated as a permeable edge to a new marketing approach i.e ‘pop-up bazaar’ and hence it becomes crucial to maximise the comfort of the pedestrian users.

Since the design program is influenced by porosity and fluidicity, Blobitecture becomes the architectural interpretation of the development.

The whole concept of the project was to bring the community together by using the spaces diligently, such that the residential and commercial sectors can share the space collectively but at the same time can craft their own space among spaces.

The pedestrians are having an upper hand on the site and major axes were defined in order to maintain a user-friendly and harmonious environment.

The public transport systems are more and more dependent upon the artificial intelligence and smart technologies, also as a global trend car manufacturers are seeking alternate fuels and new ways of interpreting public buses and pooling techniques.

We can predict that in near future, by efficient governance and executions, bicycles and NMTs will rule the roads.

Hence, it becomes crucial to future proof the master plan for the predicted shift in the trend of private vehicle ownership status.

NATIONAL SCHOOL OF DRAMA Institutional Building Professional Work | Sthapati Associates Pvt. Ltd. | New Delhi AutoCAD | Revit | Lumion

The project was to design the new state of the art building complex for the distinguished institute while respecting the heritage buildings on site.

Designed as an affluent complex for the National School of Drama, it features numerous unconventional design elements.

The project hosts a multitude of communal spaces for its wide variety of stakeholders of NSD , which is a global icon for an institution of its stature. The form of the building has been designed by meandering the built mass with respect to passive and active design measures accomodating the needs and requirements of the institute.

The main idea behind the scheme is to design a space and form, respecting the context and the heritage of the site yet at the same time not emulating what already stands tall and creates a distinct identity of the new building amalgamating its design with the existing heritage building with an architectural vocabulary which is comprehensive of the Lutyen’s Bungalow Zone area.
