URBAN LOFT This proposal is made as a part of an investigation into the effects of population growth and overcrowding on interior space. The project started with the idea of metal extensions on rooftops as a part of studio apartment and workspace for millennials. The proposed site on rooftop of an old Parsi apartment know as Sitaram Sadan located in Marin lines, Mumbai.
MATERIAL PALETTE
MOOD BOARD
EX5: TRIP OF THE TYPES_ WEEK 10 This exercise addressed learning about creating moodboards by learning about styles of furnitures as well as its types. The exercise aimed at learning about various furniture style attributes and its basic visual features. It also involved creating a character with a detailed personality sketch followed by an appropriate material and furniture moodboard for each character.

EX7: SMALL SPACES FOR BIG LIVES_FINAL DESIGN EXERCISE_WEEK 12-15 After a site visit to Panchgani and Mumbai where variety of spaces addressing design solutions and details to tackle ‘tightness’, a final site in Mumbai was selected as a rooftop residential cum workspace studio ‘Perch’. The basic floor space is close to 50sq m with an additional 1520sq m as a mezzanine floor is the given area to design a fully functional residence cum workspace for two millennials having different professions. Each one had to overlay a suitable design strategy from amongst the case studies done previously and adapt it to their site conditions. Each design development stage further added layers addressing ‘Tightness and uncluttered openness’. After a lot of sequential iterations of schematic diagrams, design development as well as.

EX6: TEMPERAMENTS OF THE TIGHT_CASE STUDIES_WEEK 11 This exercise involved each student to select five different case studies from around the world which were ‘tight and compact’, demonstrating innovative strategies for organization as well as furniture. After in-depth study, each student represented aspects such as zoning, circulation, light, compaction strategy as well as furniture in a series of abstract diagrams.

EX4: UNFOLDING IMAGINATIVELY_ TIME PROBLEM_ WEEK 8-9 This short design exercise aimed at learning about the role-play of levels within volumes with articulation of vertical connecting elements such as steps/plinths/ staircases along with addressing ‘tight and compact’. An imaginative residence like a ‘Machaan’ set up above 30m having four different views of nature on its four sides such as the Tundra, the Dessert, the Forest and the Beach became the reference point to design for two co-inhabiting millennials within given “Tight” container of 5m x 5m x 5.5m. Each design had to choose an orientation wherein only two sides of the façade can be used for creating fenestration. Each design had to design a mezzanine floor plate with a connecting staircase as well as a toilet after placing and positioning the “PIVOT” exercise design into the given volume.

EX3: FLIPS AND TURNS_WEEK 6-7 Learning to address and efficiently resolve the modern space constraints of a ‘tight’ residential unit, the exercise introduced the basics of Modular furniture and Pivot joint furniture. Each exercise went through rigorous explorations using models and sketching multiple possibilities. Two set of design challenges were introduced in the Modular furniture explorations. One of the challenges was to treat a single solid block mass like a ‘TETRIS’ puzzle and arrive at smaller units each anthropometrically assigned a function of either seating, sleeping or a table top to create various scenarios of functional combinations using the same set of pieces. Another challenge was to address pieces of designed repetitive shapes such that they tessellate to achieve a variety of linked combinations for table top arrangements.
EX3: FLIPS AND TURNS_WEEK 6-7 The final part of a two week design exercise involved designing a complete living requirement scenario for two people (except for a bathroom) such as living space, dining space, study space, sleeping space as well as storage space and a small kitchenette in a given volume of 2.1m x 2.4m x 0.60m. This volume was supposed to be assumed sitting within any given architectural volume such that it can be accessed and opened from all 4 exposed sides. The exercise rigorously employed model making as its tool to design.

EX2: TIGHT AND ALRIGHT_WEEK 4-5 First set of exercise was to gather market data about Kitchen and Bathroom fixtures and appliances, make appropriate choices out of those and try multiple full scale mock-ups to understand the role of critical dimensions in a tight efficient layout. The second set of exercise was to arrive at the most tight and efficient Kitchen/ Bathroom layout. After a couple of iterations, a final, more efficient layout of Kitchen or Toilet is expressed in a set of drawings as well as axonometric view.
EX2: TIGHT AND ALRIGHT_WEEK 4-5 Another part of this exercise was also to study staircases and its various types, also, steps, plinths and their roleplay in defining and articulating space besides studying them for their making and detailing. A variety of staircases across the entire CEPT campus were studied, measure drawn and basic drawings and models were made as a group exercise.
EX2: TIGHT AND ALRIGHT_WEEK 1 Two set of exercises initiated the learning about arriving at custom anthropometric dimensions as well as a range of operable variables. The first set of exercises led towards enacting various day-to-day postures in a residence, measuring, recording and drawing.
EX2: TIGHT AND ALRIGHT_WEEK 2-3 The second set of exercise involved learning to observe details, organisational principles, materials and finishes through measure drawing and rendering the observations for selected case study sites in Ahmedabad.
