CONCEPT EVOLUTION

PEDESTRAIN

LOCALE

The NGV contemporar y seeks to amalgamate Museum of contemporar y art with a social urban landscape that is in dialogue with the NGV International and other cultural centres in the context.

Being the contemporar y counterpart of the NGV international, the form and massing is inspired and reminiscent of the NGV designed by Roy grounds gesturing the crinkle-cut corridors and courtyard of the NGV. In a way it is the inversion of the NGV international, a translucent light veil - a Non identical twin, an art by itself that is in dialogue with it’s immediate cultural context.

For a site known for it’s rich cultural heritage, The massing studies were more inclined towards referencing forms and symbols from the prominent landmarks of St Kilda. Such as the arch of the Palais theatre, the structural rollercoaster character of the Luna park and the free-flowing cur ves of the Catani gardens.

So. the form of the built landscape embodies a design language that amalgamates and marries the features of these 3 prominent landmarks.

1

The site exploits the potential area and height that is possible.

2

The arch of the Palais theatre is borrowed for the Donovan’s corner end.

3

The indoor program is punctuated with outdoor spaces as courtyards (cur ves of catani gardens)

4

The edges along jacka boulevard is lowered for connectivity and bay views

5

So, the result is a sculpted form gesturing the arch of the Palais theatre, the cur ves of the Catani garden, and the structural framework of the Luna park.

Here spatial planning tries to create logical connections across the site connecting programs together and amplifying the opportunities to draw in people to the various activities on site by visually connecting them. So, the on the surface what we get is a public place which is an extension of the esplanade and in the underbelly, are the museum art librar y and the acmi galleries.

VIEW OF TICKET COUNTER AND ENTRANCE LOBBY

VIEW SHOWING FORECOURT, ENTRANCE TO CAFE STREET, AND AUGUMENTED REALITY OUTDOORS

VIEW SHOWING CAFE STREET The space adjoining the Palais theatre has a tensile canopy that continues the barrel vault of the theatre to house a cafe street which creates additional connections across the site and complements the activity of the Palais theatre.

The vertical plane on the side of the Palais theatre ser ves as a poster board for the Palais theatre.

VIEW OF PUBLIC SPACE ON THE ROOF

As technology has revolutionised and produced new ways to draw people to art the architecture must be future ready. Hence the outdoor spaces also double as a virtual galler y curated by online platform for the public to also contribute and be a part of the art community fulfilling the objective to be centre of cultural production.

The design had to accommodate all space requirements as per the hierarchy of the working staff and their occupational relationship, with a non traditional appeal. The courtyards bring imporatant moments in the building as all the internal movement between the departments happen through stairs overlooking the courtyards During my time, I led the interior planning team in planning the layouts as per the program requirements, and also worked on facade detail drawings, Billing of quantities, 3D model and renders.

The Conventional approach of multistorey apartments in urban areas impacts the potential green space the site offers, and has a psychological impact on it’s residents. Is there a solution that can solve the above problem satisfying the demand for housing in such urban areas?

The Idealogy was to achieve a design, compensating the potential green spaces occupied by the built form both vertically and horizontally, which not only reduces the urban heat effect but also enhances the quality of living and interaction among the residents.

BENGALURU, INDIA

CONTEMPORARY ARTS GALLERY

8TH SEMESTER / YEAR 4 (U.G) 2013

Rangoli being an evolving art form and tradition in India, precedes sculpture and painting. The art form basically is a process of connecting a centre point on the ground and cardinal points around it, usually in geometrical patterns .

For any galler y, Circulation is the key, which has to be simple, engaging and unconstraint. Hence Rangoli is a perfect domain to explore various geometric patterns and find the right circulation pattern for a galler y.

Considering that the site is located in close proximity to the ancient Belur Halebid temple. The Facade adopts a per forated art work of one of the featured relief sculptures from the temple.

10TH SEMESTER / YEAR 5 (U.G) 2014

When a Hotel design calls for an iconic structure , Should the aesthetics trade off the functionality, compromising on the best orientation and visual comfort? Should the high end user be the one who gets to enjoy all the benefits?

The objective of the design is achieve an iconic building along the riverfront with it’s massing, both functionally and aesthetically relevant to the site context, offering best views and room orientation for all its guests.

A Sail boat represents a medium of trade and business. The massing of the proposed structure is reminiscent to the form of a sail.

Like a sail which uses renewable energy source, the building captilises solar energy to the fullest.

The vertical face of the tower is oriented parallel to the direction of western solar radiation to minimise heat gain. The Upper zone has been shaped to achieve altitude offering views of the river and the city.

1ST SEMESTER / YEAR 1 (MASTERS) 2016

The task was to design a and fabricate a 1:20 model of a medium scale structure that ser ves as sun-shade for the north-west facing backyard of a 2 storey family-unit. The canopy should shade the facade entirely between 2-5pm.

As part of our design process, we were asked to analyse our design methodology in order to develop the geometr y optimisation criteria to fulfil the performative brief, using tools such as Diva or Ladybug/Honeybee useful allies in testing various options of our design for their shading-performance efficiency.
