EZ BREEZY Passive air vent to improve indoor environment quality in private residences 01 Graduate coursework
Part of a team that designed a passive air vent that responds to the outdoor environment and allows fresh air to enter just at the right time. We demostrated the behaviour through a prototype affixed to a real window. We went through the process of inspiration (from research conducted at the Wyss Institute) , ideation and implementation.
4
The problem of unhealthy indoor air quality is addressed. We started out with the idea of developing a taxonomy of different materials and their behavior under different stimuli, mainly focussing on temperature and humidity. Scientists have discovered that the air inside our homes is up to five times more polluted than the air outside. This product consists of a series of adaptive layers that are specially suited to different climatic zones and can be easily installed into existing windows. Using passive technology that reacts to humidity and temperature, the vents open to allow fresh air in, only when the outdoor weather conditions are suitable. Thus, this device will not take off heat in winter or bring it in summer, thereby not adding to the energy bill. A user override layer allows users to adjust its behavior if needed.

COLLEGE AUDITORIUM Institutional building for a women’s education foundation in Pune, India 02 Professional work
Part of a studio team in a competition to design a 700 seat auditorium for a women’s education foundation. This building was to cater to a number of schools and educational institutes for women on the campus. We approached our design with the intent of tying the campus together with a common facility that is accessible by students of all surrounding colleges for small to large scale events. It houses multi purpose halls, of different sizes, on the lower floor that could be used by the students and a large auditorium space that could be opened up to the general public for large events. We designed a simple concrete framework that supports masonry walls with a stone-create surface treatment. We tucked away all the service areas along the two edges. A plaza was created towards the front, helping the building merge within the largely pedestrian campus.

LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Institutional building for the Pune University’s language department, India 02 Professional work
This project was completed when I worked as a project designer alongside the lead architect, contributing towards an intensive design development process that would lead to multiple alternatives. We conducted a detailed study of the site which helped in conceptualizing the proposal. We developed detailed drawings that are approved by the government authorities while working in tandem with the structural consultant team. The language department of the local district university put out a proposal for a multi-storey building to support the study of six different regional languages. This building was to help increase their enrollments while also upgrading them to the latest technology. In our design, the ground level floor housed the common facilities like a library, folklore and manuscripts museum, conference rooms and a virtual classroom. Each additional floor supports one regional language each. We divided the spaces into two distinct linear blocks connected by a short bridge on each floor. We had the longer section consist of classrooms and laboratories and separated the administrative section. Our project prioritized natural light and ventilation throughout the length of the structure.

THERMAL EVALUATION Research project nased on local practices in Pune, India (Temperate climatic zone) 03 Graduate thesis
My graduate thesis was focused on the building industry. The problem I addressed was the enormous amount of energy consumed from the extraction to the application of construction materials. In my thesis, I proposed that the building envelope design can go a long way in reducing this energy consumption. As walls, roofs and openings are the three primary components of the envelope that contribute towards heat gain from the external environment, I put forth that an appropriate choice of wall and roof sections and design of sun-shades can help improve the structure’s thermal performance. My proposal includes that characteristics of each climatic zone must be taken into consideration while quantifying any heat gain. To this end, I have analyzed these building components based on their materials’ thermal properties for the annual heating/ cooling loads generated by their use in standard residential units. I did this with the use of simulation software, where at any time I only kept one component variable and maintained the rest constant. This produced results that I then compared with conventional practice. Further, I combined extreme cases to throw light on their performance as a collective unit.

PROJECT 1:1 Construction of students’ design studio in CEPT University campus, India 03 Graduate academic work
16
This project was an initiative of the faculty and students of the M. Arch program at CEPT University. It was a hand-on project designed and executed by the students along with local laborers. Our goal was to create a studio space for 20 students that included a presentation area, storage, outdoor interaction spaces, etc. The over arching goal was for the students to have a heuristic learning experience through an experimental and non-conformist design process. Design Process: Stage 1: We conducted experimental material exploration with bamboo, reinforced brick, plastic and metal cans; learning about each material and creating proof of concepts with each material that was considered Stage 2: We constructed a permanent hollow plinth and ground floor of the studio. The upper story will be regularly experimented with and built upon by future students. We made a conscious choice of materials and included only those with less embodied energy, high cost effectiveness and those that were labor intensive in order to create employment opportunities. We also executed the project on site which included procuring the materials, using labor input for construction and supervising the site while the work was being done, over the course of the year.

HOSPICE ‘ANAMAYA’ Palliative care centre in Pune, India 03 Undergraduate thesis
For my thesis, I identified the site located in one of the fastest developing areas of the city as an ideal location for a hospice. This hospice would not only perform as a health care center but also serve as the final abode for a large number of its patients. I designed the hospice to have a warm and welcoming environment to the patients, giving them a sense of belonging instead of having a dry institutional feel. I included an abundance of natural light, rooms with outdoor access, courtile planning, use of minimally processed building materials and gentle progression of space. The day care centre, common gathering spaces, clinics and staff facilities were all sited towards the front of the site, while the individual rooms and wards were towards the quieter end, cut off from the humdrum, overlooking the lake. The wards were designed to give each patient access to the outdoors directly. Collectively, all the rooms centred around a courtyard that eased interaction between the residents.

RESIDENTIAL INTERIORS Freelance interior design projects in Pune, India 04 Personal work
Part of a three member team working on freelance interior design projects. Our team worked on these projects on a completely turn-key bases starting from designing and ending with executing such that the spaces were move-in ready. Our services included budgeting, providing multiple design alternatives, site supervision, and selecting special fittings, finishes, electrical fittings, fixtures, flooring, dado tiles and electronic appliances. Highlighted here is one of such projects, completed for an affluent client. The residents of the house were a couple along with a mother-in-law. The client preferred a glossy and classy finish over all. We completely renovated the 1400 square feet apartment with marble and wooden flooring, false ceilings, updated electrical fittings and put in furniture in all three bedrooms, living room and the kitchen. We designed each furniture unit with a simple color palette - white, walnut wood, silver and black. Another noteworthy project completed by our team was one for a small family with basic requirements. In this case, we split the large apartment into two with a light-weight concrete block wall and repainted both units. We fitted out the kitchen and put in a few furniture items in all rooms.
