Architectural Portfolio

As an intern I seek to expand the horizon of knowledge and learn the practical process of bringing a design into reality.

I aim to approach architecture in a manner that is sensitive towards environment and that which can influence lives of people in a positive way.

Time management, passion and dedication are keys to success.

CULTURAL CENTRE, BHUTAN

IN THE BHUTANESE BELIEF THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE OF ITS CULTURE, TRADITION AND RELIGION. PARO IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF A SPACE WHICH WILL BE A PROLOGUE FOR THE TOURISTS TOWARDS THE BELIEFS OF THE DRUKPA’S (LOCAL PEOPLE) OF BHUTAN.

THE DESIGN IS PROPOSED CONSIDERING FOLLOWING POINTS:

• USE OF NATURAL FEATURES OF SITE,

• MINIMAL DISTURBANCE TO NATURE OF THE PLACE,

• CONSIDERING CULTURE AND BELIEVES OF BHUTANESE PEOPLE,

• MINIMIZING PEDISTERIAN EFFORTS.

• THE VOLUMES ARE ARRANGED WITH THE INSPIRATION OD MUGHAL GARDENS.

• THE WATER CANAL IS CREATED AS A DESIGN ELEMENT TO TAKE AWAY THE GROUND WATER FROM THE HILL..

• THE VOLUMES ARE PLACES SUCH AS TO MINIMIZE RETAINING WALLS AND CONFINE TO HUMAN SCALE.

• THE BRIDGES OVER CANALS CREATE AN ENTHUSIASM IN THE PEDISTERIAN AND ALSO PAUSEPOINTS FOR THEM.

• THE DESIGN IS PROPOSED SUCH THAT THE USER WOULD NOT HAVE TO CLIME HIGH UP; INSTEAD WALK DOWN WITH THE FLOW OF BUILDINGS AND PAUSE POINTS WITH MINIMAL EFFORTS.

BHUTAN IS THE ONLY CARBON NEGATIVE COUNTRY

BHUTANESE PEOPLE BELIEVE‘A NATION IS ALIVE ONLY WHEN ITS CULTURE IS AIVE’

• ARCHITECTURE OF BHUTAN MAKES BHUTANESE CULTURE STAND APART. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COUNTRY’S GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE, THE ARCHITECTURE OF BHUTAN IS BEING DEVELOPED.

SOME PROMINENT FEATURES OF BHUTANESE CULTURE ARE 8 SIGNS OF GOOD WHICH INCLUDE:

BHUTANESE PEOPLE TIE COLOURED FLAGS AT THE HILL TOPS AND WATER BODIES- THEY BELIEVE WHEN WINDS PASS THROUGH THESE FLAGS THE WIND GETS PURIFIED. THE DESIGN IS PROPOSED KEEPING THESE BELIEVES IN MIND. THE 8 SIGNS OF GOOD ARE INCLUDED AS DESIGN ELEMENTS. THE SLOPE OF THE SITE AND THE DRAIN WATER IS TREATED AS A DESIGN ELEMENT.

INTRODUCTION

LOCATION OF THE STUDY AREA: SHIVAJINAGAR, PUNE AREA: 1.71 SQ. KM GOVERNMENT TYPE: PUNE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION

• THE OPENING YEAR OF 20TH CENTURY WERE MISERABLE AND FULL OF CHALLENGES FOR THE CITY BECAUSE OF PLAGUE EPIDEMIC BETWEEN 1880 AND 1920 AS A RESULT OF EPIDEMIC AND SEVERE FAMINE OF 1897 THERE WAS AN ACTUAL INCREASE IN THE POPULATION OF SUBURBS.

• THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT PEOPLE MOVED AWAY FROM THE CITY TO THE SURROUNDING PARTS IN ORDER TO ESCAPE FROM THE EPIDEMIC ESPECIALLY TOWARDS SHIVAJINAGAR AND DECCAN GYMKHANA.

• PUNE GREW FROM AN AREA OF 7.74SQ.KM IN 1857 TO 243.96SQ.KM IN 2001 THAT IS IT HAS INCREASED BY 236.82SQ.KM IN LAST 144 YEARS.

• THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE LEFT BANK OF RIVER MUTHA WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY NEGLECTED, STARTED WITH THE BUILDING OF NUMBER OF PUBLIC INSTITUTION SUCH AS METEOROLOGICAL STATION, CIVIL COURT, PUNE STATION OF ALL INDIA RADIO, THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING STUDY AREA AND LANDMARKS

FIGURE GROUND PLAN

• BUILDINGS ON THE NOTHERN AND EASTERN SIDES SIVE LARGER FOOTPRINTS AND CAN BE FORMULATED AS UNCORSED AND UNEVEN URBAN TEXTURE. WHEREAS BUILDINGS ON THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN SIDES HAVE COMPARITIVELY EVEN URBAN TEXTURE.

LAND USE PLAN

• MAJORITY OF THE STUDY AREA IS UNDER INSTITUTIONAL LAND USE. THUS, HAVE FORMAL ACTIVITIES TAKING PALCE IN THE AREA.

GREEN AND BLUE NETWORK PLAN

GREEN NETWORK:

• THE STUDY AREA INCLUDES THE AREA OF AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE - FARM LANDS AROUND SHIMLA OFFICE AND OTHER SUCH INSTITUTIONAL BUILDINGS- GREEN SPACES AROUND

•TREES DO DOMINATE THE IMAGE OF THE PLACE. BLUE NETWORK:

• THE AREA INCLUDES THE LAKE OF MODEL COLONY OVER 100 YEARS OLD (LAKAKI LAKE)

• UNDERGROUND NALLAH STARTING FROM PASHAN TEKDI AND FLOWS FROM WEST TO NORTH EAST OF THE AREA TOWARDS RIVER MULA.

ROAD NETWORK

• TRAFFIC CONJESTION IS SEEN TO BE INCREASED IN THE POINTS WHERE FLYOVER BRIDGE COMMENCES AND TERMINATES DUE TO THE ACTION OF MERGING AT THE POINTS AND FORMATION OF BOTTLE NECKS AT THE POINTS.

• THE AREAS NEAR SIGNALS ARE MOSTLY CONJESTED i.e. HIGH DENSITY. MEDIUM DENSITY IS SEEN AROUND T-JUNCTIONS AND LOW DENSITY FREEFLOWING TRAFFIC IS SEEN IN THE REST OF THE AREAS.

TOD ZONE PLAN

• THE STUDY AREA COMES UNDER TOD ZONES i.e. 500 MTS. AROUND METRO STATIONS.

• TOD ZONE HAVE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE FSI OF 4.

• ALSO PROMOTION OF MAXIMUM PEDISTERIAN FRIENDLY AREAS AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ZONE.

PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED

• SINCE MOST OF THE BUILDINGS IN THE STUDY AREA HAVE INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICES, THESE AREAS HAVE HUGE COMPOUNDED BOUNDARIES WHICH BREAK THE CONNECTION WITH THE PUBLIC THROUGHOUT THE ROAD

• THE ROADS IN THE AREA ARE VEHICULAR ORIENTED AND PEDISTERIANS HAVE LEAST IMPORTANCE.

• SOME BUILDINGS IN THE AREA ARE IN DEPLITED CONDITIONS.

PROPOSED

PROPOSED BUILDING DESIGN

• A BUILDING IS A MIXED USE BUILDING.

• BEING IN TOD ZONE, THE BUILDING IS NON COMPOUNDED PROMOTING THE PEDISTRIANS TO ENTER THE SITE.

• THE PLACING OF 'HAAT' (MARKET) IS ON THE GROUND FLOOR THAT ENABLES PEOPLE TO ENTER THE SITE AND ESTABLISH THE RELATION WITH THE SPACE.

• THE PEDISTRIAN SHORTCUTS ARE CREATED THROUGH THE SITE.

• BANKS, LIC OFFICE AND IT OFFICES WITH SEPARATE CORE, MAINTAINING APPROPRIATE SECURITY.

• THE CURTAIN WALL IS DESIGNED SUCH THAT IT MAKES THE BUILDING ALMOST SELF SUFFICIENT FOR ITS ENERGY CONSUMPTION MAKING IT SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.

FAÇADE DETAILS

• THE FAÇADE IS DESIGN SUCH THAT THE UPPER PART OF EACH FLOOR (FALSE CEILING ZONE) IS TILTED AT AN ANGLE AND HAVE SOLAR PANELS ON THEM ON THE SOUTH AND WESTERN PARTS OF THE BUILDING SUCH THAT IT RECEIVES MAXIMUM RADIATION AND MAXIMUM ENERGY IS GENERATED THROUGH SOLAR PANELS.

• THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE CURTAIN WALL IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS WHERE MIDDLE PORTION ACTS AS A VIEWING GLASS THAT IS INCLINED SUCH THAT IT RECEIVES NATURAL LIGHT WITHOUT GLARE.

• THE LOWERMOST PORTION OF THE CURTAIN WALL IS DESIGNED WITH OPENABLE SLIDING WINDOWS SUCH THAT IT RECEIVES COLLER NATURAL AIR THROUGH THESE WINDOWS.

CANAL FRONT DEVELOPMENT

• THE STUDY AREA HAS THE NATURAL FEATURE OF CANAL.

• THE CANAL IS NOT WELL MAINTAINED.

• THE IDEA OF DESIGNING CANAL FRONT DEVELOPMENT WOULD ENABLE PROPER MAINTENANCE AND USE OF NATURAL FEATURE FOR PUBLIC WELFARE.

• THE CANAL FRONT DEVELOPMENT WOULD CONSISTS OF JOGGING TRACKS, WALKING TRACKS AND LAWNS THAT WOULD BE USED BY PEOPLE FOR MORNING WALKS, YOGA, MEDITATION, ETC.

CANAL FRONT DEVELOPMENT SECTION

STREET DESIGN

• THE ROADS IN THE AREA ARE PROPOSED TO BE REDESIGNED BY CREATING UNDERGROUND WAY FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND WOONERF STREET DESIGN ON THE GROUND FLOOR.

• THE GROUND FLOOR ARE GIVEN CUTOUTS THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF LIGHT AND VENTILATION FOR UNDERGROUND VEHICULAR WAYS.

• THE GROUND FLOOR WOULD PROMOTE PEDISTRIAN ACCESS AND WOULD INCLUDE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS JUICE CENTRES AND EATRIES IN A TEMPORARY SHADE, NEWSPAPER SAILOR, PAUSE POINTS, OUTDOOR GYM, AMPHITHEATRES ETC. SERVICE LANE IS BEING PROVIDED ON BOTH THE SIDES ONLY FOR THE VEHICLES INTENDING TO ACCESS THE BUILDINGS ON THE SIDES OF THE ROAD. THE ROAD WOULD FOLLOW THE CONCEPT OF WOONERF STREET (PEDISTRIANS AT PRIORITY).

HOUSING PROJECT FOR AIRPORT STAFF

VOLUMETRIC STUDY

• A VOLUMETRIC IS DESIGNED SUCH THAT VARIOUS VOIDS ARE CREATED IN THE BUIDINGS AND DOUBLE AND TRIPPLE HEIGHTS ARE CREATED SERVING AS GATHERING SPACES AND GREEN ROOFS AS WELL AS REFUGE AREAS ARE BEING SERVED AT REQUIRED LOCATIONS.

• BUILDINGS ARE TILTED AT AN ANGLE OF 18 DEGREES SUCH THAT IT MINIMIZES SOLAR HEAT GAIN.

• TRANSITION SPACES AND GREEN AREAS ARE PLACED AT CENTRAL SPACE AND BUILDINGS ARE GIVEN APPROPRIATE HEIGHTS AND VOIDS SUCH THAT VISUAL CONNECTIVITY IS NOT OBSTRUCTED.

BANK HEADQUARTER

• THE INDIA HAS EMERGED AS THE FASTEST GROWING MAJOR ECONOMY IN THE WORLD AND IS EXPECTED TO BE ONE OF THE TOP THREE ECONOMIC POWERS OF THE WORLD OVER THE NEXT 10-15 YEARS.

• BANK PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY. WITHOUT A SOUND AND EFFECTIVE BANKING SYSTEM, NO COUNTRY CAN HAVE A HEALTHY ECONOMY.

• MANY INTERNATIONAL BANKS HAVE THEIR HEAD QUARTERS IN INDIA.

• THE MAJOR ECONOMIC CENTRE WHICH WAS EARLIER MUMBAI HAS STARTED SHIFTING TO PUNE SINCE LAST FEW YEARS.

• THE DESIGN IS PROPOSED AS TWISTED VOLUMES AROUND A CENTRAL CORE

• IT ASO FOCUSES ON COMMON INTERACTION AREAS WITH INFLUENCIAL GREENS AROUND.

• THERE ARE TWO BUILDING TOWERS; ONE WITH BANK BRANCH AND HEADQUARTERS AND OTHER WITH RESTAURANT, BANQUATES AND CAF’E AREA BRIDGING BOTH THESE BUILDINGS.
