BLUE TOURISM

DURATION : 4 months

LOCATION : Kochi, Kerala

PROJECT AIM :

To promote water tourism and for it to develop into a destination point.

To provide a space for accommodation, food and recreation through architecture and design that is responsive to climate and is environment friendly.

PROJECT BRIEF :

Tourism is all about the journey and experience we get from the place we visit in relation to its heritage, activities, community and space.

People in recent years are constantly in search of places and activities to experience so as to escape the harsh reality of life. Tourism can either bring a locality up or ruin its existing outlook. This being an industry has prospects in a developing country’s economy and plays a major role in the cultural exchange and imageability of the city. It is a growth driver and helps in employment generation, cultural exchange and in the active development of the place.

DURATION : 3 months

LOCATION : Trichy, Tamil Nadu

ROLE IN PROJECT : Involved in the Analysis, Design Intent, Ideation, CAD Drawings, Illustrations and Compostion

PROJECT BRIEF :

The Karur bypass road is a growing commercial road that gives ample opportunities for pedestrian activity. It is also a major connector road hence; the traffic is also dense. We observed that the building and the road contain activities of diverse nature and the absence of a transitional space that can regularise the demarcation is a major drawback.

The design intervention focuses on enhancing the sociability, accessibility, imageability, safety and experiential quality of the stretch, giving equal opportunities to all the stakeholders.

DURATION : 3 weeks ( Time Problem )

LOCATION : Chennai Central, Tamil Nadu

ROLE IN PROJECT : Involved in the Analysis, Design Intent, Ideation, CAD Drawings, Illustrations and Compostion

PROJECT BRIEF :

Chennai central is a well known transit hub, the major part of the site houses Rajiv Gandhi Government General hospital and Madras medical college. The Pallavan bridge divides the campus into two, causing an interruption to free transition movement for the users of these two campuses. Users are forced to travel along with the vehicles facing safety issues and other constraints.

The Betwixt curl creates a new synthesis of “relaxation” and “activity” taking users, activity and space into consideration along with the infusion of smart-interactive interventions, activating an urban space through programmatic interventions to encourage community connection and social engagement.

DOCTORS AND STUDENTS

Our daily transition between both the campuses is dangerous because of the vehicles along Pallavan salai. We would like to have a safe and fun route.

CONTEXT AND MOVEMENT PATTERN
