SITE ANALYSIS Le Corbusier planned the city of Chandigarh analogues to a human body. The capital complex (sector 1) being the head, city center (sector 17) being the heart, leisure valley along with innumerable connected open spaces and the sector greens being the lungs, cultural and educational centers being the intellect, road network being the circulatory system and industrial area being the viscera.

The City Centre representing the heart of the city lies slightly towards the north of the city, marked by intersecting roads Jan Marg, Madhya Marg, Himalaya Marg and Udyog Path. Designed on a monumental scale of uniform four storied concrete buildings; it is laid out along four pedestrian promenades intersecting at a nodal point, where all civic buildings are located. There is a central chowk or a plaza marking the crossing of two wide pedestrian ways running north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east. Around this chowk are created the most important civic and commercial buildings, the town hall, the central library, commercial houses and banks. The City Centre contains large shopping stores, office buildings, banks and cinemas and other public buildings. The city center is landscaped with trees, which presents a subtle contrast of form and color against the concrete facades and flooring. This sector also houses the district courts, the central police station and the inter-state bus terminus.

Conceptualization of the Urban Canopy

The idea was to have a spatial intervention that could

EXISTING SPATIAL LAYOUT OF SECTOR 17 WITH PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION RESTRICTED TO A SINGLE LEVEL

transform the vast concrete laid sector into an urban utopia, whose epicenter would be the Urban Canopy.

Defining a new combination of a culture, entertainment, technology, and architecture within a public space, the concept envisions a layered cluster of spaces such as cultural center, eateries, retail market, leisure walkways all superimposed on each other. Allowing the spatial boundaries to flow into one another in a mixture of protected interior spaces and exterior spaces.

The spatial zoning of the Urban Canopy was inspired from the functioning of a tree. Interactive spaces such as retail market, restaurants and cultural centers, which

REFORMING SPACES TO REDISTRIBUTE THE PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT TO MULTIPLE LEVELS

would attract the crowd from all over the city, were placed at a lower level from the ground, symbolizing the root functions of a tree. Whereas leisure walkways acted as the stem, reconnecting the users from the other parts of the sector to the area of intervention, with paths intertwining with the existing green at the ground level. This allowed users to have an undisturbed view of the urban center and feel the grandeur of the canopy above, which like the foliage of a tree, shaded the whole complex during the harsh summers of the city.

NEXT PROJECT | U HIVE

COMPETITION | U HIVE

The concept of the Urban Hive or U-hive was to rethink how a public space can be utilized in ways that extend beyond the need of the just people.

U-hive delivers a sustainable solution to various roadside spatial requirements that otherwise requires heavy construction. Trees that are often planted along roadside absorb vibrations from the sound produced by various sources, provide shade and make the roads look good, they often deteriorate over time due to constant abrasion faced. Additionally being so exposed to the traffic and pollution, creatures like birds and squirrels often leave such trees to nest somewhere more isolated. Furthermore, with the pandemic going on, the requirement of a public has changed from being open to more secluded. The design of U-Hive was to provide a solution to these problems with the least environmental impact..

Bamboo is the only material used to construct the U-Hive, thus making it a cheap, modular and a vernacular built-form having almost zero negative impact on the environment. The upper half of the Hive grows around the trees and protects it from the outside while providing a sound space for birds to nest in the city whereas the bottom half has small pockets of spaces where a person can get inside and stay socially distanced from other people on road without physically distancing themselves.

The site is located in Noida Sector 134, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is an upcoming sector in the micromarket of Noida Expressway. Enclosed by Sectors 129, 132 and 133, this sector is undergoing residential development, largely in the form of high-rise apartment complexes - namely Jaypee Kosmos, Jaypee Wishtown Klassic and Jaypee Klassic Heights. An emerging sector, the social and retail infrastructure within the sector is still developing. It is just 2 km off the vital Noida Expressway and is therefore wellconnected with the rest of Noida.

The target audience of the ORD International school would be upper and middle class students of the age group 3-18 years. The majority working population belongs to the service and business sector.

Furthermore, there is also an expat community interspersed near the location. Hence, an IB board school would enable their children to study in a familiar international curriculum to facilitate higher studies abroad.

The design of the school is a layered assembly of our vision of an IB school integrated with green systems to achieve a net zero building. The spatial layout was done in such a way that the spine served as a core concept in materializing the built environment. It was based on a simple and clear fundamental principle of differentiating the Junior and Senior block in the school, whilst connecting the entire building via the spine which would essentially simulate a social hub - containing common areas, including a foyer, sports facilities, a canteen etc, within the school. The spine bleeds into the corridor and courtyard spaces of each block, thus propagating the idea of extending learning beyond a classroom with breakout spaces and co-learning spaces, as in an IB school. The building premises is fabricated with interactive stepped landscapes and self cleaning,anti bacterial louver facade systems to ensure a holistic approach to the environment. Furthermore, with a pertinent building orientation to reduce heat gain, solar panel installations on the roof to generate electricity and courtyards in each block to facilitate ventilation, the school befits a net zero building approach.

Spatially, there are two main blocks which comprise the building, such that each block has a well placed courtyard within it. The North block houses the Pre-Primary and the Primary wing, as well as an indoor playing area. The main entrance (formally) is through the North block, hence it has the administrative complex as well as the Principal’s office too. It is connected to the South Block via a open corridor which acts as the spine of the building. In the South block, along the spine there are rooms allocated for various social activities such as dance, drama, music, thus making it a highly interactive and lively space.

Moving away from the ground floor to the floors above (in each of the blocks), there are well lit and ventilated classrooms that look into the respective courtyards. The walls facing the courtyard are colored to according to the age group of students on each floor. The colors help bring out various positive moods out of students and offer an encouraging visual learning environment

of restricting it. It shattered giant economies, put a restriction to trade and ruined the social lifestyle of people. But most importantly, the contagious nature of the virus took the heaviest toll on every country’s health care system. With the infected easily out-pacing the capacity of almost every hospital, providing basic health care services to the ones affected by the infectious virus was simply not possible. Visuals of people running from hospitals to hospitals in fear and desperation, hoping to get treated, exposed how unprepared we as a society were to combat any such fatal crisis.

However, in times of such darkness, there was a group of people in every community who refused to take a knee in the face of the virus.

Them being none other than the health workers, who volunteered for the safety and welfare of the community, knowing they are putting themselves and their families life in danger. These highly outnumbered selfless heroes, tirelessly worked round the clock, to make sure everyone affected gets treated. They eventually formed the backbone of every community’s effective health care system and restricted the virus from claiming more lives. As a result of this selfless

History has marked every great act of mankind through memorials that persisted over time, reminding us of the vigilant souls that refused to give up at times of crisis. Souls that gave us hope when there was none, souls that proved that an act of selflessness is nothing less than an act of god and therefore the acts committed by every healthcare worker shall also be marked in history, as the single biggest act of grace in humanity.

The memorial henceforth recognizes the services and sacrifices by the front-line workers and pays tribute to their lost lives by becoming a symbol of hope for the rest of us. The “Staircase of Hope” re-imagines every healthcare worker in the form of a floating balloon of different color and sizes, representing the diverse cultural background they hail from. All the balloons clustered together represent the community of the workforce and express the results of their collective efforts in relieving the world, which is reinterpreted in the form of a progressing staircase . The memorial therefore stands as a symbol of hope, illustrating that while all other forces failed to fight the pandemic, there was a small workforce, whose collective services kept the world lifted from its days of darkness.

VII SEMESTER | WORK IN PROGRESS

For my 7th semester, I’m pursuing my interest in computational design under the studio of Large Span Structures. The studio brief of the semester is to re-imagine an EXPO center next to a major commercial hub in Delhi - Aerocity.

The site is located minutes away from the Delhi International Airport and is estimated to be 40 hectares. Currently we are in the stage of site analysis and documentation.

Additionally, as a part of studio exercise, we were individually assigned the task of exploring various types of conceptual forms through any preferred method. I approached this idea of form finding by mirroring shapes which were derived by optimizing their topology. The base model was subjected to directional loads and was simulated to generate the most optimized model that could withstand the given load while retaining only 20% of its original volume. The following spreads highlights few of the iterations and illustrates the final form generated.
