-ORGANISATION ON A STRUCTURAL GRID. -PRIVACY INCREASES WITH INCREASING LEVELS. -ROOF AND FLOOR SLABS ACT AS A DATUM. -USE OF SPACES WITHIN SPACES AMD AGGREGATING THEM WITH A ROOF. -F -FLOOR PLAN SHAPES ARE REPEATED IN THE ROOF JOINERY.
-DETAIL AS A JOINT EXPRESSING HUMAN EFFORT. -REPITITION OF SHAPE OF PLAN IN ROOF JOINERY AND INTERIOR SPACES. -USE OF PAPER TUBES AT VARIOUS SCALES, AS STRUCTURAL ELEMENT AND/OR MOTIF.
Exercise Brief This exercise dealt with understanding and creating a diary of attitudes of the Style of design followed by Shigeru ban. Alongside which, I was asked to create a momento in the form of a Cube, Maze and Trophy using various organisational, constructional and or spatial attitudes seen in Shigeru Bans designs. Thius thus formed the basis for an informed design inspired by Bans work.

Introvert vs Extrovert
Roof Inspiration
Design Intent and Central Idea This site dealt with a plateau condition with the building to be built on the ridge. The site slopes gradually on one side and descends along a steep slope on the other. This exercise thus helped in understanding implications and advantagges of design wherein the visual connection is stronger than its physical counterpart.

SECTION CC’
Design Intent : The lower level comprises of thick introverted stone walls while the upper level contrasts it to create a light, pavillion-like finish that opens outwards. The pitch of the roof is derived from the two distinct slopes of the site, one, that is gradual and smooth and the other, steep and sudden.

Tending Towards the Sea
Admin Office
Design Intent and Central Idea This exercise dealt with the situation of a site on the beach, connection to the water, necessary disconnection and the idea of siting in an overpowering visual and physical connection.
Reception and Lab
This design thus helped creating a visual discourse from the regular inspiration and thus looking at unimplied inferences on a beach. Lounge Waterfront Library
Design Idea : The form is inspired by that of a watchtower usually seen in and around oceans and tries to create a strong sense of verticality in an otherwise horizontal site.

‘ BAYSIDE ’

Design Intent and Central Idea Overlapping spaces
Lab
Branching out from the core
Admin and Conference Rooms Library
This site dealt with a rather flat undulating plane with small mounds in the middle towards the water such that it connects the site ground to the lake beside it. The backdrop is formed by hills on one side and a busy curved road on the other.
Restaurant
This exercise thus helped learn constructing and responding to the typology of small mounds and responding to waterbodies visually and physically. Design Idea : The project starts from the top of the mound and steps down like an Indian Ghat as it tends to move down and craft its way to the waterbody. SECTION CC’
TWO SEMESTER
‘
BANYAN ’
Accessible Terraces
Circling the Banyan
THE ARTISTS RETREAT AT ALLOAA HILLS
Privacy by Levels
Social Intersections
Design Intent and Central Idea This studio dealt with basic design exercises of Storyboarding, experience models, space sketching, proximity diagrams and Parti sketches which eventually led to the development of the final design.
Restaurant and Lounge
The site was one with three big mounds and a large banyan tree anchoring the spaces around it in the middle.
Residences Workshops
Design Intent : The design tries to provide necessary importance to the tree and hence encircles the mounds around it so as to connnect them visually and overlook the seasonal river behind and also to create a sort of segregation in privacy by levels. SECTION CC’
ONE SEMESTER
‘BELVEDERE’ THE LAKESIDE PAVILLION
Central
Symmetry
Water Front
Inward and Outward Looking
Design Intent and Central Idea This first semester studio dealt with the use of modular blocks to design a pavillion in the 600 year old complex of Sarkhej Roza (for an imaginary prince and princess) in Ahmedabad to fit in with the context and somewhat use ideas specific to the site and to the program of creating spaces for two differently natured users. di The main idea revolves behind the old concepts used on site, namely Symmetry, Grid Organisation, Columnar space demarcation, Inward looking spaces for the princess with a private space on the upper level and outward looking spaces and courtyards for combat practive for the prince.
