CentreforWeaving, 01 | Kanchipuram

Semester 07 | 16 weeks | Sustainability within the Industry Typology

A centre for weaving, secondary street or lane, adds to temple procession. a cooperative- for weavers directly sell to customers eliminating middlemen. The idea of “sustainabilty” was introduced and questioned throughout this project. Through business intents as well as architectural intents. the idea of a “temple” in kanchipuram, how it acts as social sphere as well as its strong function as a religious space.

Can Sustainability Be Defined?

It may have no definitions but many perspectives

My idea of sustainability is about resources, that is, energy, people, ground and knowledge. It is about optimum planning and prudent decisions based on the climate, that is light, air, temperature and air circulation.

The locale is the resource and it always works along with the site, never in isolation. It can create a socio-economic impact along with being adaptable.

STUDY OF CLIMATE RESPONSE IN TRADITIONAL HOUSE Courtyards

Courtyards, which form an integral part of the traditional residences, act as a microclimate modifier. The courtyard acts as a natural channel to allow the smoke and heat of the house to escape.

Semester 05 | 16 weeks | Public Building - Museum Typology

This studio explored the nature of public buildings through the lens of a museum based in Srirangapatna, Karnataka. The site was chosen from any of the 4 nodes of the large maidan which was bustling with activity. While understanding the typology of a museum itself was one layer, the main intent was to understand how public buildings interact with their surroundings, what they can “give” to the public and how they must respond and respect its context.

Understanding Context

Srirangapatna is an island-town in Karnataka, which has stood the test of time and the ravages wrought by human & natural forces. This historical landscape, situated in the middle of the upper Cauvery river, has witnessed multiple occupations and cycles of building & rebuilding by local rulers & colonial powers, and is encrusted with architectural monuments and ruins that tell tales of the past. Home to people from multiple faiths, the offerings of Srirangapatna are many and varied, attracting hundreds of tourists, pilgrims, research scholars, nature enthusiasts and historians on an everyday basis. Primarily accessed via the Mysore-Bangalore highway, the town could be viewed as a temporal cusp where the remnants of a bygone time act as a backdrop, active or passive, to the continuation of ritualistic traditions and the emergence & sustenance of local economies of place, primarily driven by religion & cultural tourism.

HousingfortheElderly, 03| Mysuru

Semester 04 | 16 weeks

The elderly, energetic friends who have shaken the wreckage of age and have taken their lives in their own stride, they by their conviction and determination have become masters of their destiny. It is this eternal stage in life where age takes a back seat and contemplation becomes the forerunner. Today’s elderly have set an inspirational example for all senior citizens for a way of life. Elderly does not mean grey hairs, stiff joints and slurred speech. Senior citizens play a very significant role in the social fabric of our society. The nation and society need their guidance for a strategic and stronger future. They have an immense ocean of experience. The other kind of seniors who are placid and spiritually bent can take up responsibility of making the youth understand the cultural values and help them to live up to our traditions.

Study from Chawls Through

WKholi(room) Corridor Courtyard

Chawls started off as a means of cheap housing for migrants who came to the city to look for work. Eventually, they began to function as dwelling units and community spaces for families upto many generations.

Put very simply, these are the three aspects that make up a chawl- the room, the corridor and the courtyard.

The rooms behave as a more private space and are composed of two small rooms.

Due to the compact size of these rooms, the corridor then becomes an extension of the living space. These courtyards further behave as community living rooms.

There is this transition of spaces from private to semi private to public, But all of this also brings into question the nature of what is public and what is private

12-2 PM

Life slows down a little during this time as the only ones present are women and men

A nagging wife who is always yelling at her husband and telling him to bring back the right groceries which he never does.

Chinnakka (little sister), the bitter, grumpy woman who is always yelling at the children for playing in the courtyard.

Bapu (father), bell-ringing disabled man who is always cheerfully interrupting, be it to change a radio station or to have a bottle of churanhanded to him.

Purushottam, our protagonist, a kind, helpful nut a painfully shy man, pines over his love for Sandhya throughout. On the other hand, Vasudev or “Bashu” as he prefers, is a charming but manipulating cheat.

Sweet and beautiful Sandhya, on the lookout for a husband since she wants to study further, has to choose between the two leads.

A newlywed, shy couple who rarely leave their rooms but whose giggles can be heard through the closed doors.

The bucket guy who seems to be living in the toilet as he is always seen coming out of the toilet with his bucket at all odd hours of the day.

Daadiamma who cooks yummy snacks for everyone, acting like a grandmother to the entire chawl.

ASSUMED PLAN OF THE CHAWL Showing the layout of our residents’ rooms.

LThrough the movie Katha, the portrayal of life in a chawl is depicted so incredibly well, as the hustle bustle of the chawl forms the main backdrop.

Unlike other dense buildings, the open to sky courtyard type of building allows for some breathing space within the building block and tight rooms.

The chawl shows a clear transition of spacesFrom private to semi public to public.

The open to sky courtyard allows for some breathing space within this dense building block and tight rooms.

This central space is sheltered since the 3 story blocks are placed in close proximity. Sun mask, passive cooling and protection from strong winds is also provided in this sheltered space.

Understanding the Site Gokulam,Mysuru.

Mysuru is the third most populous and the third largest city in the state of Karnataka, India. It is located in the foothills of Chamundi Hills.

Gokulam is a popular locality and one of the best neighbourhoods in Mysore.

It is primarily a residential area, away from the noise and bustle of the city life at the heart of Mysore.

There is a mix of a young crowd as well as retired elderly, a mix of local culture and some amount of foreign culture as well. This area is also a hub for yoga as there is a multitude of yoga studios and classes around which draws in foreigners all throughout the year. There is an ideal balance of residential and commercial spaces in this area. Malls, food joints, supermarkets, cineplexes etc are present all around, making this an ideal location for a housing community.

Inferences from Case Studies

Aranya Housing and Belapur Housing

Terraces and streets are all places of interaction. Every house has its own sense of identity.

The extended plinths and recessed entry into the private space gives a part of the house to the street.

This transitional zone, is provided in front of each house is located between private and public space. They also act as meeting places and are interactive.

Trees are planted in public spaces which gives a feeling of connection between human and nature.

Process and Iterations

SIGHT

1. Focusing is less accurate.

2. Sensitivity to glare increases.

3. Adaptation to darkening is slower.

4. Color vision is less effected, (while shapes be indistinguishable, colors can sometimes help to separate objects.)

USAGE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS, COLOURS

USING NATURE AND GREEN SPACES BIOPHILIC APPROACH?

HEARING

Less accurate, especially high frequencies but low frequencies are effected as well. Smell, taste and tactile senses are somewhat more stable – USAGE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS increased sensitivity to exposure to the sun – SHELTERED SPACES

Linked to decreased stress, enhanced creativity, and accelerated recovery from illness.

Semester 07 | 16 weeks | Group Work

The intent of this studio was to understand the way a project must be drawn and detailed so that it can be read and executed on site with ease and clarity. The Housing Project in Mysuru from the previous semester was chosen and we worked in groups of 4 in order to understand collaborative learning and groupwork.

Semester 06 | 16 weeks | Group Work

A collaborative studio, we worked in groups of 4 to redesign the lobby space and the exhibition space in our campus, Wadiyar Centre for Architecture. This studio taught us how to brainstrom ideas together as a group, to identify problems and areas of intervention and come up with a common intent that could translate into redesigning the interiors of these spaces.
