HUNAR CRAFT CENTRE

CULTURAL ARCHITECTURE

Location: Delhi, India

Semester 4

Guides: Prof. Jatinder Kaur, Ar. Suparna Ghosh

Site area 12700 m2

Floor area 4730 m2

Located at the Heart of Delhi, Hunar Craft centre aims at reviving dying crafts in India by teaching and propagation. Deriving its design from the mughal architecture of Delhi, the centre is a catalyst for public activities and for practicing unique crafts in Workshops and exhibits.

A museum for these dying crafts, a cafeteria, the worshop spaces are planned along the lines of Old Delhi, with numerous courts and paths connecting them.

Reminiscent of its glory in the Mughal Era, Shahjahanabad stands today decaying and 'modernized'. This design aims at portraying what the streets and chowks of Shahjahanabad once were, learning from planning and techniques of vernacular sustainability.

By analysing tombs, gardens and city planning a deep understanding is developed to create a series of open, semi open and closed spaces that impart climatic and visual appeal

Part of a competition held by the Telangana government, the Centre for Excellence aims at developing an Ideation and Creative hub for the city of Hyderabad. The design, based on concepts of sustainability and activity centric design, takes nature and people to mutually exist in a series of inspiring spaces.

LEVELS FOR ACTIVITY

The Site has a downhill profile with a maximum level difference of 20m across. Utilizing the natural terrain of the site, and analysing slopes and water flow, levels were created, each activated publically by a function or space spilling into it

The idea was to create one continuous form broken into fragments for easier circulation and better response to the Terrain

WATER CATCHMENT

Contours were analysed to place catchment ponds, thus preventing runoff and flooding from rainwater.

Vehicular circulation is kept minimum at ground level. The Dropoff for exposition and Auditorium is created at the Basement level, connected above by stairs and lifts.

This creates a sunken court, hiding the parking by trees and landscape.

Situated at the transit-oriented Development Zone of a major commercial hub in Gurgaon, India, this project aimes to create an interactive public and commerce centric design integrating both concepts in a series of plazas and voids with vibrant atmospheres. A sense of playfulness is brought through with levels, seating and stairs and greens.

Retail spaces, historically, were the focal point in a city, hubs of public activity and celebrations. Modernism commercialized these hubs and constricted public along one predefined path doing only one activitywalk.

This design aims to bring back the relationship of retail and public through mixed use zoning and rethinking retail circulation.

Creating connections and Retail zones for easy access and viewability of shops

Generating interest though paths to make circulation energetic and shaping blocks accordingly

Based on the surroundings and context, the user groups were first identified as - single occupant, couple, small family/high income couple. Accordingly 3 residential units were designed to meet the lifestyle and needs of the users.

DAYLIGHTING ANALYSIS

It was found that the East and West directions have direct sunlight penetration and would impact the climatic comfort of occupants. South too has some degree of heating from direct radiation.

Having a skin on the South, East and West reduces the heat gain drastically, passively cooling the spaces inside. North remains open as there is no direct heat gain from there.

POLYCHROMA BUS STOP

PUBLIC TRANSIT NODE

Location: India

Semester 5

Guides: Prof. Sugga, Ar. Amardeep

The brief was to rethink the purpose and functionality of a bus stop and create a versatile unit that can be used as a model for new age transit nodes anywhere.

Basing the plan on circulation of passengers and integrating e-bike stands as last mile connection, the bus stop is designed to look minimal and feel light and airy, not disturbing any of its surroundings. It also understands human psychology and colour response in creating a space open for all, providing the city a micro-space for people to use and enjoy.

MOVEMENT PATTERN

Creating an experience based on movement pattern arrival,departure, e-bike.

ROOF

CREATING SPACES

Converging arrival space, quiet enclosed seating

ARTICULATION

E-bikes on the left, ATM/ small kiosk and adding greens to act as a catalyst for public activity

COLOUR PSYCHOLOGY

Arrival - warm, exciting, Departure - cool, calming, E-bike stand - energetic

The Form of the roof stands out as the defining feature. Minimal, Functional. The form opens up to the South to let in Sun in winters and block it out in Summers.

SECTION A

RAINWATER HARVESTING & PASSIVE COOLING

The roof is double layered at certain places creating a void between 2 layers. This void is used for overhead storage for water harvesting , as well as contributing to the passive cooling

The void blocks radiation heat and the presence of water would cool down the microclimate.

SECTION B

SOLAR ENERGY

As most parts of India receive sufficient Sun hours, required for solar energy generation, photovoltaic cells can be installed. These can be place over the roof tanks, thus reducing evaporative losses or heating.

Analysing area and requirements of the bus stop, 10 panels of 2.5 sq.m. each shall be installed.
