jr architect - sketch architects Involved in conceptual design of many residential projects along with its building drawing and intial set of drawing .prepared sanction drawing for various projects which also includes commercial project. Interior design of residencial projects, including spaces like kitchen, living, dining and bedroom. working drawing for above were also made. Minimalistic furniture design for residences were done as per requirement. I had designed coats, dining table, crockery shelf for a residence in Thiruvalla with the combination of wood metal and glass. site visits is a must for every projects especially during concrete construction. the specification for every project was checked during site visits.

The thampanoor bus terminal had this multistoried parking within the building accessed by the ramp which run along the office space. For construction details i was asked to do the 3d along with working drawing of the ramp.

Entrance Gateways of Kerala Temples - assessing the form of a Kerala temple Gopuram through material and construction How did the form of Kerala temple gopuram evolve with its material and construction? - What are the types of temple Gopurams that are seen across Kerala? - What are the materials and construction system used in temple gopurams? - What are the rules and proportion system of temple gopuram construction? Temple and temple structures evolved with time and the most identifiable change is in its structure. This difference is even largely evident when you consider it regionally. Kerala temple architecture is thus different from its neighboring states like Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andra Pradesh due to the obvious reason of geography and other factors. This had led to the question of investigating the difference in the form of a temple structure such as the entrance gateway otherwise called the gopuram through its material and construction. To assess the form through its material and construction, a thorough study on the existing different forms and types of material and construction system used is necessary. Thus the topic itself demands for a literature study followed by case studies of different types to prove the query and finally an analysis. The major finding lies in its geography as Kerala itself can be categorized into three different regions such as north, centre and south where we also find the structural variations. Further analysis is based on its proportion which goes into detail on its material and construction.

BUILDING IN COLD CLIMATE
trombe wall
Regions that fall under the cold climate experience very cold winters as they are at a very high altitude. The temperature ranges between 20-30’C in summers, while in winters, it can range from -0C to -5’C making it quite chilly. As such, trapping the sun’s heat whenever possible is a major design concern. At the same time, the buildings in such regions need to be properly insulated so that the internal heat is retained with minimum loss to the environment. Exposure to cold winds should also be minimized. The main objectives of building design in these zones are: Resisting heat loss To resist heat loss, the following measures may be taken into consideration: (a) Using materials that heat up fast but release heat slowly. (b) Providing buffer spaces between the living area and the outside. (c) Decreasing the rate of ventilation inside the building. Promoting heat gain Heat gain can be promoted by (a) Avoiding excessive shading. (b) Utilizing the heat from appliances. (c) Trapping the heat of the sun.

SEMESTER 1 The aim of the studio was to test the stability of interlocks. On testing, it was found that a piece of paper that was either folded or was interlocked with another piece of the same material tends to be more stable. In short the stability of a material depends on how many pieces it gets interlocked to it. Different types of forms were generated by altering the interlocking pattern. On repeating certain kind of slit patterns, it was found that the form generated was that of a plane, while repeating another kind of pattern a helical structure was formed. Out of all the forms generated the planar form was selected. This form was remodeled by altering the size of individual components. Each component was then varied by 1mm. the plane changed into an arch. SEMESTER 2 The second phase was to design a screen for an east wall and to check the energy efficiency of the screen. So the planar form was replicated using paper and the opening sizes were altered to control the amount of light entering through it.

Concentric objects share the same center, axis or origin. Circles, tubes, cylindrical shafts, disks, and spheres may be concentric to one another
international convention centre
The two auditoriums in this project , one with 3000 capacity and the one with 500 capacity were planed through vertical and horizontal sightlines . The trffic can be well controlled throught the large corridor space and the central lobby. The concept of concentricity, helped in planning other spaces with sightlines - seminar halls, conference halls, exhibition area and the banquet hall. Auditoriums are large span spaces, so roof trusses were the solution, and for other spaces reinforced concrete grid slab. This helped me in achieving column free spaces.

Undergraduate work
The planning was done according to the connectivity of different spaces in a hospital, there are certain department which need connectivity, for example orthopaedic, radiology and physiotherapy. The patients who visits these department may not be able to travel vertically so this should be placed in the ground floor. the OT, ICU and wards ar planned such that it can be accessed directly(post icu) or through lift(general icu). All the private wards are planned on the upper floor were they can have a open view to outside as per my concept.
The aspects of healing environment in hospital design are primarily important and relevant within the context of sustainability in healthcare facilities. The term ‘Healing Architecture’ is adopted to invoke a sense of a continuous process; in creating an environment physically healthy and psychologically appropriate. A healing environment with appropriate physical aspects would indirectly contribute to patients’ outcome such as shorter length of stay, reduced stress, increased patients satisfaction and others

inclusive school- designing for children with sensory and physical disability Inclusive schools recognize and respond to the diverse needs of their students, accommodating both different styles and rates of learning and ensuring quality education to all through appropriate curricula, organizational arrangements, teaching strategies, resource use and partnerships with their communities. Whilst inclusive beliefs, policies and practices specifically address the needs of students with disabilities and additional learning needs, they are equally beneficial for the full range of students. The fundamental principle of the inclusive school is that all children should learn together, wherever possible, regardless of any difficulties or differences they may have. This project aims to design an inclusive school for 390 students ranging from early years to secondary level with some support and resource spaces
