COMMUNITY LIVING SPACE
SEMESTER 6
Ramakrishna Matt, located in Basavanagudi is a residential and commercial locality in the city of Bangalore. The Matt provides accomodation for prists and students, daily meetings and spiritual and religious practices. The centre houses a memorial shrine, a book store, and a charitable dispensary. Other than a daily worships, all significant Indian religious events are observed here.
The studio intended to explore the idea of combining the living community in the spiritual and religious site and case studies followed by conceptualization. The design project, Senior living community, highlights the space for living and the other multiple spaces which need the living community. The project showcases the built and unbuilt spaces, which can be used by all user groups.
Site Location - Basavanagudi, Bangalore
Area - 26,000 sq m (6.42 Acres)
The core idea of the design is to divide the space into public, semi-private, and private zones and also to center the focus on the sanctuary of the site which is the center nod in the site itself. The zones created were rigid in mass. The next turn was to eliminate spaces that are not necessarily required at the site. The remaining masses were stretched to form a segment or a band which lies in close proximity to the center nod.
Dividing the mass into public, semi-private and private zones
Eliminating the masses in between
Pathways around built allow the space to be experienced, whereas, unbuilt gives therapeutic experiences to the user
Focusing on the existing center nod of the site
As a cause of built and unbuilt, empty centers acts as an open plaza
Creating segments as a zones in a close proximity of the center nod
Non-built spaces allow to navigate the spaces and majorly contains vegetation in the site

COMMON SPACE
DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACE - To incorporate the idea of indoor green space the space is created and every floor have an acess to the double hright space
BUTTERFLY ROOF - to enable cross-ventilation into the space butterfly roof is adopted. Both the community kitchen and pavilion have these roofs because of mass gatherings
INDOOR BADMINTON COURThas a roof height of upto 9meters with two entrances which are rather connected from the interior of the space
STAFF LIVING - The space is a studio apartment used by the staff common space is shared by all the units on the floor
This semester intends to learn and understand the learning space and the involvement of the other spaces to engage the process in it. The definition of the word ‘learning’ can be refer to full range of places in which learning occurs from real to virtue which in returns creates their own unique learning environment.
Bengaluru, Karnataka is a tropical region, tempered by altitude, with a rainy season from June to October and a dry season from December to April. The aim was to create the learning space according to the site context, building orientation, and massing.
SEMESTER 3
Site Location - Pottery Town, Bangalore.
Potters, customers, neighborhood residents, and stores play a major role in the design of the building. The form of the building stood by the inferences given by the user group.
- Junction opposite the site creates heavy movement of traffic results in major disturbances.
- The area itself,either residential or commercial has an intact space in it, which creates no breathing space.
- Bringing the green area inside the site helps in bringing mental peace to the user group.
- Learning space is also created in the form of pods, whIch creates play in connected space.

SEMESTER 5
Bangalore International Centre (BIC) is located in a medium-sized neighborhood in east Bangalore, Indiranagar. A cosmopolitan locality and one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Bangalore. BIC is a Non-Profit Institution registered under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act. BIC Members and Donors have enabled a neutral platform for informed conversations, arts, and culture.
The studio intends to study the spatial activities, and programs necessary to the context and engagement of the people in the site. Study of both individuals and families are observed to use the knowledge to shape the architecture of the building which helps in further articulation of space and form. It includes everything from government offices and public meeting spaces to galleries.
Site Location - Bangalore International Center, Indiranagar.
Area - 1.5 Acres
The idea was to create a network of spaces that provide essential services to the area. The aim was to incorporate the idea of showcasing the fragmented or divided space than one compacted building. Giving different access to each create the space as an one entity, which helps in the recognition space given the program.
Proposed mass
The objective of the studio is to have the students acquire knowledge of activity mapping and anthropometric study of the space along with the study of providing the client’s requirements. The idea was to design spaces, the personal and the family alongside the rental unit.
The idea was to create a unit of 1BHK, 2BHK as rental units, and 4BHK as housing for the client. The aim is to achieve privacy between the personal housing and rental units comply to have access to all common service facilities.

Area - 3,500 sq ft.
Mr. P is looking to construct a house in Bengaluru. His requirements are 1BHK - 2nos. for rent, 2BHK - 1no. for rent, 4BHK for his family in 50*70 site. The site is surrounded by residences on three sides and faces a commercial establishment in the front. Additionally, he requires car and bike parking and a servents quarter.
Mr. P lives with his family - Mrs. P loves cooking and gardening. They have two children ages 16 and 20. PA is a 20-year-old girl inclined to arts and loves to read. PB is a 16-year-old boy. Mr. P’s mother visits them often – she loves to pray, chant songs, loves cooking for her grandkids; but at her age, she finds it difficult to climb the stairs – a solution to this will make her a happy person. Mr. P loves to entertain his family and friends – drinks, food, and music becomes the binding factor for them.
All the tenants and Mr. P’s family should have their privacy and yet have access to all the common service facilities.
The design aims to learn and focus on built and unbuilt spaces of the proposed site. Since the existence of vegetation on the site, the space acquired by the trees are retained which in return gives a view to the user, and the remaining space is operated as a built area. Considering the components on the neighboring side of the site, it is crucial to give an open space for ventilation; an idea of bringing open balcony or open garden have accomplished.
