VISITOR’S CENTRE Champaner, Pavagad Sem 3 : Material Studio The intent was to design a Tourist Information Centre which caters all the function in order to make it a must visit place for a tourist coming to Vadodara or nearby. It respects the existing culture of the annual fare called PANCHMAHOTSAV , where the locals take part in making articles and trade in order to promote tourism. It tries to give tourist an escape from their daily life. All these was to be done with the primary concern of material exploration.

The spatial organisation was in radial arrangement, which gave a greater visual connectivity also helped in making souvenir shop and kiosk the central focus. This is been done in order to retain the existing culture of the annual fare. The off-centre placement of the foyer leads the user to the designed journey .

When there's less sunlight umbrellas can be opened alternatively.

When the kiosk area is to be kept open.

The umbrella shades almost the entire pathways and also the kiosk, the best part is that they are operatable through electronic mechanism. They can be open and close in various possibilities.

The pathways connect the entire centre with an easy access. The amphitheatre also acts as a passage to move through. Each step is having tread 2m which makes it more usable space for different activities throughout the year.

1. Selecting Branch

2. Connecting Nodes

A natural tree's branch was selected on the basis of good foliage. To have a better understanding of the nodes, ends and varying thicknesses, sketches were made.

The nodes and ends of the branch were connected by tying threads in order to make voluminous enclosed space.

3. Surface Evolution

The enclosure created earlier was then given a closed surface. Model was made by surface development method.

4. Understanding Volume

A small opening was made in the model to understand the volume .Horizontal planes were added according to the suitable human scale.

5. Illuminating the Spaces

For illumination translucent openings were provided on any two surfaces which would provide adequate light in the spaces.

DOCUMENTATION Jodhpur, Rajasthan Karamsad, Gujarat Sem 4 : Contextual Studio

JODHPUR Evolution Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan and it's old walled city circles around the Mehrangarh Fort.

When Rao Jodha decided to shift his capital to a safer and elevated location in Jodhpur, people moved closer to the fort as well for the same purpose and gradually leading to the development of the blue city.

7

The historic core of Jodhpur is very dense historic city centre characterized by delicate urban equilibrium made of a system of residential, commercial, religious and institutional buildings. The land area today was only a small portion of Marwar state before independence. When Rao Jodha established the walled city, it had four gates As time passed the city became congested with increasing population and the boundaries continued to expand. Old City and has a 3 to 8 ft. wide and 15 to 30 ft. high wall around it.

KARAMSAD

Karamsad is a city and municipality in Anand district it comes under Khandhli Panchayath. It is situated on the street highway and links the peripheral villages. It is located 6 KM towards west from District head quarters Anand. The village came into settlement when the ancestors of Lakha Patel started developing poles, khadkis, wells at this place. The village then got spread and result in the formation of 6 khadkis. The Patidars of Karamsad are well known in the social community of Chha Gam (six villages).

Evolution In Karamsad six different Khadkis were formed after the rst six descendents of Mahijibhai.

The Basic house plan is having three or four sequential rooms one behind the other . The front open space of the rural house is an important socio - cultural as well as existential space. Basements are used for storage and water collection and they also act for passive cooling in the hot summer months.

Spatial organization is rather simple and linear. It shares the long walls of the sides with adjoining properties .

- F.L.Wright

Jodhpur being rich in heritage and architecture, have a good potential for tourist attraction. In order to promote the tourist footfall and to cater their needs a privately-operated “Home stay Facility” is been designed. The design program includes Tourist Centre, Home stay and a small Café. The design re ects the site’s context and blends with the characteristic of built-form using architectural elements, socio-culture aspects, spatial planning and built-open relationship.

Mt. Abu, Rajasthan Sem 5 : Institutional Studio The process was started from micro to macro. Mount abu having an island climate can be helpful in teaching in open area making it different from other conventional school, hence a module of a classroom was designed first in such a way that it interacts with nature.

2.

From nursery to 8th each age group has specific psychological and physical need which has implication on architecture and conceiving of spaces. From a tender age of four, children spend most time of the day in school. School has to be a place where both teachers and students can learn and play, a place where they get inspired.

5.

Placement of the built is fragmented, this is done to create interesting open and semi open transitional spaces. Some of these spaces can be used for open learning program which helps in giving experience to the students. The main idea of the design is to promote learning through experiencing the environment. The institute is been designed in such a way that it helps in the part of daily learning.

The entrance foyer is designed in such a way that it gets blends with the natural existing site features the boulders, this gives the institute an identity. The spatial hierarchy divides the institute in :-

PUBLIC LIBRARY Vallabh Vidhyanagar, Gujarat Sem 5 : Institutional Studio Vallabh Vidyanagar is renowed as an educational hub of Gujarat.

Intent of developing a Public Library was to focus on the educational development of people, who are majorly students . Public Library is one of the few spaces under the public realm of the city that have tremendous potentials to transform into value addition as community information, knowledge, resource and service centres.

It houses reading rooms, formal and informal reading spaces, AV rooms, E- library and a cafeteria on terrace. The buildings in Vallabh Vidhyanagar are mostly old which were made in early 60's in the developing years of the town but the library stands out due to it's contemporary design. There are voids on the southern and the western face to borrow indirect light and air in the library. These voids are covered with screens which are treated with a composition of brick and terracotta jalis for southern side and wooden louvers on the western side, also the amalgamation of the material makes the elevation more interesting and aesthetically appealing.

STUDENT HOUSING Vallabh Vidhyanagar, Gujarat Sem 7 : Housing Studio Envisioned as an educational town of Gujarat, Vallabh Vidyanagar is aplanned city and a municipality in Anand district, in the Indian state of Gujarat.

With so many number colleges under Sardar Patel Institute , other new courses and academic institutions continuously coming up, the current infrastructure – majorly the housing and accommodation facilities are very much in short supply for the students as well as the staff of these institutions. Also, there is a considerable amount of change in the aspirations, lifestyle and needs of the User (students, staff ). The housing facilities established almost since past forty years, that now seems obsolete due to several age factors, structural concerns as well as imbalanced provisioning of common amenities.

Institutional Housing was suppose to be design for our college i.e.

A.P.I.E.D. Architecture college of Architecture. It have accommodations / hostels for students from rst to fth year. Housing for all the faculties and admin staffs. Common amenities like gym, stationary, printing etc are provided in centre in order to be shared by every one. It also have guest house for guest lecturer and visiting faculties.

Multi Modal Transit Hub Gandhinagar, Gujarat Sem 9 : Urban Design Studio Gandhinagar the capital city of Gujarat is being connected with Ahmedabad through metro. In this urban design studio a proposal for a multi modal transit hub is envisaged as an underground terminus station at the existing Gandhinagar railway station. The space is designed to bring different transport modes like city bus, auto rikshaw, taxis and other feeder services physically closer to facilitate last mile connectivity.

Placing the built form to respect the sanctity of Dandi Kutir.

The process started from at a master plan level where improving connectivity was the main concern. The intention of the design was to preserve the sanctity of the existing Dandi Kutir, therefore the relatively low height structure with the green roof is intended to make the station less apparent. A thick layer of landscape is also added to clearly de ne the edges. Areas are divided with sufficient signs into arrivals and departures, to assist commuter in eliminating confusion and to segregate footfall. The station is integrated into a great urban environment through the use of harmonious landscaping creating plazas for public. A dedicated pedestrian and cycle track is provided for improving access to station. The overall attempt is to create lively environments and to provide a better travelling experience.

Monastery for Jain Ascetics Indore, Madhya Pradesh Sem 10 : Dissertation Jainism is not only a religion but a way of living life. It teaches many attributes of living a righteous life through a motto of “to live and let live”. Jain monks have to live a simple life with a lot of hardships. They can't use basic technology like electricity, telephone, mic, any manmade devices, or any kind of luxuries. Where proper daylighting and energy efficience, consumption of natural energy becomes fundamental is often seemed to be ignored. The places of worship or religious activities are given a lot of thought for alterations over the timeline, especially on the ladder of modernization. However, the Sthanakvasi sect of Jainism, which believes in non-idol worship or the formless notion of God, appears to be lacking in intellect for the evolution of their religious spaces. Evidence shows that there's a huge gap between the Jain philosophy and its monastic architecture and a neglect has been seen from the side of patrons to provide spaces that are passively designed as per the congeniality of ascetics.

This thesis aims to understand “what role does the design of a worship space aid in having a spiritual experience? How can the age-old philosophies of religion be expressed through architecture in the contemporary world? ” An attempt to explore ways to create a living environment that is compatible with Jain ascetic’s congeniality and pedagogy, as well as their issues and their relationship with the outside world. The concept of space, sensory engagement, and design aspects are explored using the least amount of resources possible to have the least amount of environmental effect.

Scan this to read entire thesis report

The Paradox of Temple and Sthanak Form Derivation On the periphery of a Jain temple there are small temples of multiple deities and a passage connecting them. The design is inspired from such a module of a small temple but in an ironic way.

The absence of a murti would make them search for God but then they would realise that they themselves are the deity and their own soul is the supreme being.

Internship Artha Studio Pune, Maharastra ( Internship) Artha studio is a sustainable design consultancy founded on the mission to create meaningful designs to sustainably advance the development of our rural and urban communities. During my internship, i had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects of varying scale, which enabled me to develop my understanding of the practical aspects of design.

As a trainee, I assisted with design development by expressing my ideas and documenting process insights. I aided in the drafting and production of plans and sections for design development, as well as the creation of 3D models. Making working drawings for daily bases of execution at site and detailing out design via 3D models. I also worked on making presentation drawings and graphics for various competitions. One of the special thing I got to explore was product design and furniture design.

Artha Studio Competition ( Internship) India is a diverse country with people of different income groups and cultures residing in varied social and climatic contexts. The current housing scenario in the country is such that a large percentage of residences is neither affordable nor does it satisfy the long-term needs and aspirations of the dweller. The given idea revolves around the concept of involving dwellers in the process of building homes for themselves by designing modular units which can be selected as per their need and affordability.
