SEMESTER - 6 I TYPE : COMMUNITY HOUSING

SITE : JAISALMER, RAJASTHAN I

HOUSING I GENRE : WORKSHOP PROJECT

PROJECT TYPE : GROUP (TEAM OF 3)

GHARA SAMAJ

GHARA SAMAJ

The housing project acts as a growth of community spaces in the under developed desert areas in the outskirts of jaisalmer.This project acts as an alternative approach towards the traditional form of houses built in a contemporary/modern way.

The approach of this project is to create a interactive communal space using parametric techniques, which goes along with the culture and tradition of Rajasthan.

The site is located in the outskirts of Jaisalmer which is a developing city which has a growing population. This housing is for the regional population of Rajasthan which doesn’t affect much of the habitual life.

To create a co-living space which help people to enjoy the city in different perspectives, as the housings are arranged in layered heights.

DISCRETE ELEMENTS

The main discrete elements are simpler units of pathways and slabs that connects and grows along the site creating different levels of housings. These slabs acts as the base for the housing units to rest on top.

BASIC AGGREGATIONS

Simple pathways and stairs that connects and grows along the ste

THESIS SYNOPSIS :

The aim of the thesis is to reserve and conserve sea cows and improvetheknowledgeofmarinemammalstothevisitorsandlocals. It aims to provide a functional, aesthetic, and environmentally friendly space for the conservation of wildlife animals and to increase the educationandlivelihoodofthepeopleinthesurroundings.

CONCEPT :

The main concept is ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE . The aim was to create a relationship between water, man and nature. To create a small urban environment in which people and visitors can enjoy their in serenity.

To create different spaces and functions incorporating coastal management strategies, sustainable and green ideologies to create a aethetic combination of spaces together in one plane.

GARDENING : Dugongs require a large amount of food. Eventhough the entire requirements cannot be achieved by farming. Some of the needs can be satisfied by gardening and farming lettuce in the site.

TYPE : MULTI-EVENT STADIUM

SITE : KIRIBURU, JHARKHAND I

ADRI STADIUM

I GENRE : COMPETITION PROJECT (FINALIST)

SITEAREA:23560sq.m

ADRI STADIUM

BRIEF :

The aim is to design a multi-event stadium in kiriburu, considering steel as the main material and elements in the design. the design needs to be functional yet unique and it should act as a landmark in the rural area.

CONCEPT :

As the site is situated on top of the mountain, the main idea is to merge the stadium design along with the landscape of that area. The rhythmic flow of the design through parametric approach will allow the building to stand out rather than being out of place in a remote town.

Likewise, in this design different elements come together to form a rhythmic space. The planning is based on musical curves which are modified to create the form.

SEMESTER - 7 I TYPE : AQUATIC CENTRE I

SITE : BARCELONA, SPAIN I

I

GENRE : COMPETITION PROJECT

PROJECT TYPE : TEAM OF 3

PETRICHOR

BRIEF :

The aim was to design an aquatic center space just in front of the Sagrada Familia, an architectural marvel made by Antoni Gaudi. It should be suitable for a public bath, swimming pools, spa pools, etc.

CONCEPT :

The main concept was to create a forest environment that grows organically using vertical( trees) and horizontal(pond) elements.

The columns and catenary structures symbolize the elements from Sagrada Familia. The main entry focuses on two giant waterfalls and a long waterslide which top gives a great view of the cathedral.

The space is designed in such a way that the users connect to different spaces at different levels.

SPACE DEVELOPMENT

Existing trees on the site of Plaza De Gaudi.

Existing trees - Positive space Other spaces - Negative space Converting negative spaces into positive by building vertical elements in site.

Replaced, Restored and Recreates 90% of the existing trees in the site.

Bird watching columns are provided in such a way that the birds are free, and users are in a cage

FORM DEVELOPMENT

Analysing the site conditions and how the growth can be obtained around the site.

2.FLOOR PLATES

Determining different levels of spaces, and placing it in relation to the growth

3.MAIN ELEMENTS

Incorporating the main elements of The design, and defining entries and exits

4. LEVELS DEFINITION

Defining the difference between ground and other levels through series of columns.

5. DETAILING

Detailing of spaces and incorporating The conceptual ideas

Defining the users’ circulation spaces Through different levels

Vertical columns on different levels provide different visual perspective of Sagrada Familia

Each column has patterns of water droplet which connects the circulation.

SEMESTER - 9 I TYPE : MIXED-USE BUILDING

SITE : PARANUR, CHENGALPATTU, CHENNAI

KULAAH MIXED DEVELOPMENT

BUILDING I GENRE : ACADEMIC PROJECT

CHENNAI I SITE AREA : 18,565 sq,m

KULAAH MIXED DEVELOPMENT

BRIEF :

The aim is to design a Mixed-use development Building in a 4.6 acre site overlooking a lake in Paranur. The mixed- use builsing should consists of functions like, housings, theatre sapces, shopping spaces, office spaces, restaurant and leisure spaces

CONCEPT :

The main concept is COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURE. The concept is more concentrated on creating multi funtional community spaces for different kind of people. as they can hang-out, work together, and gather around and interact in a green- interactive zones.

The basic form is developed using stacking of different units and empty soaes, conceaved as green pockets, these will then be joined by interactive plates and pathways in different levels.

The main sustainablity features include stepped terrace spaces. all the residences will include green terraces. all residences have natural ventilation which will reduce the use of mechanical add ons.

FLOURITE CRYSTALS

SEMESTER - 6 I TYPE : PAVILION DESIGN

SITE : CSA CAMPUS

I GENRE : WORKSHOP PROJECT

I

PROJECT TYPE : TEAM OF 3

FLOURITE CRYSTALS

BRIEF :

To design a Pavilion space in our college campus, and to experiment with software skills. The pavilion is developed with a basic concept of aggregation of elements, derived from fluorite crystals.

CONCEPT:

The growth is organic, from a starting point aggregated and branched all over the space. This pavilion acts as shading and relaxing space.

The elements are aggregated from the lines by connecting the various constellation points. These clusters of clouds were formed as a leisure space at the bottom. From the crystal, it produces gradient-colored reflections on the ground during the day and emissive colors during the night.

By providing a pathway at the top, users can experience a different perspective of the institute building. This pathway allows users to experience the aggregation crystals from a human’s point of view.

Element- 1 Three Legged

Element- 2 FourLegged

Element- 3 Five Legged

Mortise and Tenon Joints

Connected Joints

These clusters are held in place with columns emerging from the ground to surface of the pathway.

Elements emitting light and colors during and night creates ambiance and change the character of the space.

Creating an atmosphere at the higher level surrounded by the different colored crystals with gradient reflections.

ISOMETRIC VIEW

MATERIALS

Growth of the aggregated elements creating gradient reflections of the floor

Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (petg), with its translucency creates colored reflections.

Wooden planks are used in the construction of the pathway along and inbetween the elements.

Leisure space with organic seatings arranged in different levels

Organic columns support the aggregated elements and pathways.

View from the institute and the access to the second floor of the institute from the pavilion.

ATHURALYA HEALTH CENTRE

SEMESTER - 7 I TYPE : MULTISPECIALITY HOSPITAL

SITE : OMR,SHOLINGANALUR,CHENNAI

HOSPITAL I GENRE : WORKSHOP PROJECT

OMR,SHOLINGANALUR,CHENNAI I SITEAREA:5100sq.m

ATHURALYA HEALTH CENTRE

BRIEF :

The aim is to design a multi-specialty 200 bedded hospital with operation theater consultation rooms, maternity, inpatient department with radiology and lab facilities. This design aims to solve functional aspects with MEP services.

CONCEPT :

The main concept is HEALING ARCHITECTURE , It is to design a hospital that will be interactive and has both indoor and outdoor spaces and their connectivity.

There are green pockets and Healing gardens have been incorporated in the design to make the patient feel at ease and it will also reduce the duration of the patient’s stay.

The aim was to avoid fully closed monotonous corridor space in the hospital. So, the main circulation of all the spaces will be around the atrium facing greeneries and lighting through the skylight.
