ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO Agamya Goyal University School of Architecture and Planning
“It’s not the projection of your art, its the interpretation by their eyes that matters.”
Hello! I, Agamya Goyal, am an architecture student currently studying at the University School of Planning, New Delhi. In this undulant journey of 4 years, I have come closer to understanding the true essence of architecture. I believe that with functionality, a design must provide an experience that allows the user to feel closer to the building, providing an escape. Architecture is meant to respond, not just to the environment, context and function, but to its varied user base, just as well. The vision of architecture, for me, lies in its versatility, be it with elevations, landscaping, planning or design elements. Taking a keen interest in a design that holds its roots in a well-layered concept, I place my strengths in its manifestation. I play with planning to create interest in to and through spaces. I particularly like working on experiential designs, enhancing the user interface and functionality of a space. With an open mind and a constant want to learn, I would love to explore, understand and hone my skills.

A 4 YEAR JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY THROUGH, OF ARCHITECTURE Stepping foot into this abyss With a lot to unsee, and more to discover In just four years, a journey uncovered. Time recorded itself through learning curves, Shaping the clay of my visage, with every move.
UNKNOWN CRAFT PERSON’S TROPHY This trophy helped understand the nuances that bring forward a master creation, like the root bridge. It gave insight into detailing and the versatile use of vernacular materials.
LAURIE BAKER TROPHY Designing for a poor tribe,, against permanent settlements, this project enabled me to work close to reality; using low cost techniques, creating materials out of existing resoureces, planning for a unique user base, all while managing the costing to be at the lowest.
FIRST YEAR Entering with an incomplete idea of architecture, first year helped me realise that it is not just about the colours, textures, gradients or volumes, that make a design. It is the presence of its users and the way it serves different users, that bring it to optimum usage.
THESIS Taking inspiration from all the learnings and the workings of the previous years, the thesis project revolved around the need for infrastructural development of informal education, through a library complex. The design, owing to its unique envisioning, allowed me to understand the rationale behind the initial parts of a design, while creating something that truly manifested the society.
HOUSING Rendering away from typical clusters that make a society seem repeated, this project saw how to break monotony and create identity in repeated verticality, while making every type of person comfortable. All this, while achieving maximum functionality.
DREAMS- A.N.D.C. A new take on ‘reality’ of architecture, I developed the potential to morph absolute and abstract, strengthening the ability to conceptualise, ideate and create.
CULTURAL CENTRE The project helped me realise my strength to conceptualise conceptualise. Materialising the idea of culture, it taught multiplicity, through a wide user base, while maintaining harmony in physical form.
HOSPITAL One of the trickiest projects to work on, this witnessed interest getting induced into an otherwise rigid planning requirement; through strong and detailed landscapes, and facade design, to attain maximum functionality.
REVAMPING CHHITKUL Documenting this tiny village introduced me to problem solving by designing for an extremely cold climate, using Indian techniques, responsive architecture and providing for an interactive, yet introvert culture.
DISSERTATION The past years highlighted the dynamism of our society, be it through its changing needs or a vast and distinct array of experiences. My dissertation helped me throw light on the importance of ‘temporariness’ in architecture and its losing touch today.
RETHINKING THE FUTURE, MULTILOGUE COLLECTIVE Both internships helped me get a wider view on topics ranging from urban planning and concepts like ‘Panopticon architecture’ to the different styles of architecture around the world. It created a deeper understanding of topics that were on the surface level till now.
URBAN DESIGN Dealing with the volatile issue of the Central Vista Redevelopment Redevelopment, this project enabled me to work closest to reality and its challenges. It taught the real meaning of designing an unhindered space for the public and the true architectural manifestation of democracy. It further provided a deeper understanding of excellence and functionality on a bigger scale.

STONELAM EXPERIENCE CENTRE
“The soul of a place that provides to all White sheen blotting destruction’s blood along. Abode to ancient hidden gems throughout One feels more than sees, its cultural spout More than just a location, its the destiny of Delhi, Emulating its journey’s exhibit, in its very belly.”
Site- Multiple Locations throughout Area-650 sq. ft. The Experience Centre was a module design planned for an area of 650 sq.ft. The aim of this design was to showcase the diversity of the use of Stonelam tiles. Hence, each element was designed in extensive detail, from framing to the cladding over it. This required one to play around with base materials. The project delved into the tiniest details, requiring an accuracy of 3MM. Each location had a different planning, requiring certain tweaking in some details.
LAYOUT PLANNING FOR EFFICIENT MOVEMENT The envisioning of every experience centre starts with its layout planning. Being a modular design with well thought out elements, the following is kept in mind while laying the design out: 1. A pocketed planning allowing for there to be multiple experiences in various areas.

PERFORATING A LIBRARY COMPLEX AS A HUB OF ACCESSIBLE INFORMAL KNOWLEDGE
The pursuit of knowledge, rightful wings for all The grant of privilege and lack of opportunities make it stall. Part of a society where acceptance and dynamism is key, Imperative institutions falling in a classic negligence spree. Architecture must adapt as technology and people walk forward, Bringing to thee, a perforated notion of community learning offered.
Site- Dwarka, New Delhi The aim of this thesis was to address this sheer negligence of the importance of informal knowledge. It aims to instigate a movement in the endless pursuit of knowledge, accessible to all, not restricted by the barriers of physical, mental and economic privilege; while bringing back the essence of temporal culture and its importance in this pursuit. This is intended to be manifested in the form of a joint public and private library complex.

Owing to the site being accessible only from 2 sides, the traffic had to be managed carefully. Different types of traffics were separated, such that their functioning will not hinder that of the others. In addition to this, the front side was pedestrianised completely, to manage congestion and elevate expereince.

RE-IMAGINING THE CENTRAL VISTA
Site- Central Vista, Delhi Central Vista, the historic site symbolising the takeover of democracy, from dictatorship, has always had its arms wide open for its public. With Rajpath and the gardens around, India Gate and its open hexagon, and the Raisina hill, it has constantly offered itself to both the people and its government. The upcoming development scheme seemed to shatter these notions, building a space showcasing the power of the government over its people. Its overall effect vandalising the significance of this vista. This project aimed to understand the need of this project, while designing a space that celebrated its public and manifested the true meaning of democracy. With a flexible brief, it gave us the ability to showcase what we believe the space should encompass. It allowed us to see things with angles both minute and wide, understanding the true diversity of the userbase and taught us how to design, on a wider scale, a program sufficing needs as well as beliefs.
Central Vista? An alore with arms wide; Some fixed concrete, holden green and imaginalry lines. Standing king, tall and proud, rising above those on the ground; Gateway beaming, usunsed, disdained yet unbound. Celebrating the public, watering flowers on the graves of the parted; But the public sees riddance, hushed into crevices, borders charted. The centre of the capital, a concrete jungle; Lungs drenched with tar, health in a shut bundle. Democracy is but about the people after all; What’s a better gift than wellness, acceptance and purpose, for all, of all? It’s a game of experience, and one well deserved, Heritage holds a fixed stand, but now the bounty strife it serves.
A true manifestation of democracy, a space that treats everyone equally, allowing celebration of expression and inclusivity.
Conserving the ecological balance and providing a green space.
Giving people their space back, taking into account their multiplicity, flexibility and temporality.
Re-imagining the Central Vista
EXISTING V/S PROPOSED PLANNING, OF THE SITE
Shifting the existing government hub, to efficiently use the space that is currently being wasted. Introducing the Delhi cycle track, an adventure in itself. A journey of the entire area, in the healthiest way.
Retaining existing heritage, while introducing a larger parliament.
Converting the central secretariat into a large park, known as the ‘Delhi Park’. A 1200 M. x 700 M. park, entirely for the public.
Converting the existing C-Hexagon into a cultural hub, proposed through radial planning around the flag.
Creating a religious hub, while retaining the existing structures, for religious harmony.
The park is designed to create a variety of experiences, making all types of people feel comfortable; while maintaining the ecological balance.
M.V. access is kept only on the outskirts of the circle, dedicating the whole inner part for the public, in the form of plazas and cultural buildings.
Re-imagining the Central Vista
DIVISION OF SITE INTO PUBLIC AND NON-PUBLIC ZONES
Delhi cycle and car track (public zones)
Non public zones Public zones The planning shows a clear and dedicated intent of giving this space to the public. No secluded space is being created. Even the non public zone, the government hub, is being filtered by the cycle tracks
CIRCULATION, IN AND AROUND THE SITE Vehicular network Existing metro network Cycle track Car track
A more efficient road network created, freeing the inner part of motorisation, providing a peculiar experience to the public. The existing metro link complements the design.
SITE PLAN AND PROPOSED ZONING OF FUNCTIONS Government hub Religious hub Medical hub Delhi park Cultural hub The treatment of the site enables a strong sense of profuse ecology. This area acts as Delhi’s lungs and lets it breath, much needed, naturally fresh air; in a breezy context.

ELEVATED CYCLE TRACK
The architectural language aims to create a harmony between modern and traditional styles of architecture. The south-west and south-east sides feature a dynamic facade, over sandstone, responding to the sunlight, without glare.
The buildings lined with stepped plazas, designed to offer both hardscape and softscaped spaces. The tensile roof provides a flexible space for the vendors to gather around and sell their services to the public around, showing acceptance.
The elevated cycle track allows for a varied experience to be created for the cyclists, promoting a fitter living. A part reaches the first block of the built, allowing multiplicity of scales and providing the space to the public, truly.

LUXURY HOUSING IN OKHLA
Mid parks and pleasures though we may roam, Solace lies in the heart of your destination, a path towards home. Where light fills our skies and certainty clouds our mind, One can only achieve when the windows reflect a fussilade of pride.
Site- Okhla, New Delhi Site area- 20,880 sq. M. F.A.R.- 3, Achieved built up- 62,632 sq. M. No. of units= 500 (all 500 units were achieved) This project required designing a luxury housing in Okhla, a predominantly industrial area, with a few residential sectors, too. The site was connected to a 40 M. main road on the front side and a 13 M wide road on its right. The connecting plots included a low rise factory and some small scale industries. The context, further had small scale shops and low income housing, as well.
Architecture doesn’t consume you, you consume architecture.
The eye has to catch, while the sight flows.

Designing a luxury housing, in Okhla, seemed misplaced, owing to the users around. Different aspects of this user base were analysed, to divide the units in a way that provide for the users in need, while also help manage the cost of the housing.

The design of units is such that each has a small buffer space in front of the entry to ensure against loss of privacy, when the door opens. The units also ensure minimum space wasted in circulation design, with ample interesting space being created with its curved play of balconies.
FLOWING FACADE, CREATED BY BALCONIES PLAY WITH BALCONIES Different curved balconies have been placed in conjunction, to achieve a ‘changing’ facade, giving the buildings an interesting facade playing with the line of sight for the visitor cars and the cyclists on the outside, whilst doing the same for the residents on the inside.

A moss wall has been constructed on various walls of each cluster. The Moss plant plays a huge role in air purification. The proportions are such that they provide a unique element to the elevation and have a huge impact on the surrounding air as well.
The outer walls of all lifts and staircases have been cladded with a separate tile with a pattern visible from afar. The aim of this is to make the design easily navigable and user friendly.
The commercial, designed in steps along with the parametric roof, offers a symmetry to the elevations, making the introduction to the design extremely soothing and balanced..

DESIGN FOR COMMERCIAL AND PARAMETRIC ROOF PARAMETRIC ROOF One is introduced to the design by this majestic roof, spreading over commercial. Visible from very far, it creates an identity for the housing. Futhermore, it provides shade to the open steps of the design, while creating interest, through a play of shadows, on the steps and the ground. It is made of GluLam timber.

‘CHHITKUL’- THE VILLAGE ON PAUSE (A.N.D.C. Trophy)
With the Himalyas rocking its cradle and the Baspa river singing it a lullaby, the village of Chhitkul rests in its wooden houses and lush fields. Where culture and community surpasses all, the village is far to be defined by rural or urban. It is defined by its people. The land of perrenial charm, the abode of Mathi Devi. The village on pause, commences its eternal journey.
Location- Chhitkul, Himachal Pradesh This entry was a discovery of the last village on the Indo-Tibetan border. An abode of 200 families, Chhitkul is structured around its temple Mathi Devi and boasts of strong work ethics, culture and ‘Kathkuni’ architecture. Heavily dependant on agriculture for its income as well as living, it also relies on its strong tourism. While the first half of the year witnesses flocking people, animals and vegetation, the second half makes the village come to a reluctant pause. The entry focuses on problem solving, creating a design that allows the village to unpause and function, throughout the year.

VILLAGE DOCUMENTATION
Serving as their primary source of income, the village relies heavily on its farms. Along with this, they grow in surplus, for the stagnant snowy months.
With every family owning around 6-8 cows/ bulls, cattle rearing is a prominent occurence. They care about their cattle like their children.
Strictly practiced by the lower Tourism has given a secondary caste, it is a booming industry source of income to this village here. Primarily responsible for through homestays, shops, the village textiles, it’s becoming restuarants, dhabas etc; a source of income. well accepted.
SECTION FROM FARM AND SCHOOL There is a strong influence of agricuture on school timings, both timings functioning parallely.

‘LIVING ROOT BRIDGES’, CHERRAPUNJI (Unkown Crafts’ Person Trophy)
Location- Nongriat, Cherrapunji A journey, into the deepest jungles of Cherrapunji, the point of this project was to unravel the art of the root bridges, as well as the skilled hand behind it. Along with understanding and the nature’s constructed art, the project helped discover the use of nature in architecture. The entry further came up with ideas and possibilities of this technique or the psyche behind it being used in today’s world. This trophy was my introduction to documentation and taught me the skill of taking inspiration from a technique or art form and manifesting it into other ideas. It further helped hone my hand rendering skills.
Where villages prime, where roots thrive Forging bonds between places, people and time. When the art of nature and the will of humans combine, Are the bridges, truly alive. The artist’s treasure, the tourists’ cave, The latter’s pleasure, the former’s nave.
Living Root Bridges, Cherrapunji
THE STORY OF ROOT BRIDGES
DOCUMENTATION OF ROOT BRIDGE, NONGRIAT Located in the East Khasi Hills, Cherrapunji, the root bridges are a gift of nature. The hidden perplex, capable of holding 500 people, has a handrail thicker than a standard balustrade. Despite the prodigious size of the bridge, one rubber tree suffices. This nature’s miracle has proven to be stronger than steel itself.
SITE PLAN
ELEVATION
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS The process starts with bamboo, to stuff the roots together. The bamboo is removed as the roots entwine together, to form a strong and self sustaining structure; over a waterfall. A path is then formed, using stones, wooden planks, etc.
Living Root Bridges, Cherrapunji
SIMILAR PRACTICES AND DESIGN SOLUTIONS
Abortecture, the practice of growing tools, instead of building and crafting them. Example- Botany building, Melbourne
The grid style of growth can be used to form a strong cocoon bond and create a primordial form of shelter; as an egg structure.
Firms are researching on reshaping trees to create a structure in a five year process. Example- Terreform One
A coterie of trees can be used to entwine their roots, similar or distinct, together, to come up with furniture designs.
Blending technology and living nature, to construct buildings from trees and steel. Example- Fredrig Ludwig’s Baubotanik
Root trees can be structural members, such as columns, with their roots forming the exterior of a building.
Trees creating living columns, to create a Bascilica, as a frame support structure. Example- Tree Cathedral, Bergamo, Italy
Woven partition walls and fibre walls can be created out of the fibrous networks of these trees, through a grid pattern.

DISSERTATION
Zygmunt Baumann describes human race as a liquid society, one which is never in an end state but perpetually evolving. Hence, the experience of a space, too, keeps changing with times and seasons, often at a pace that permanent structures are not able to keep up with. This leads to the user having to accommodate and compromise according to the structure, giving architecture the supreme power, instead of the user. This study analysed exhibition spaces and brought forward their lack of ability to house such temporality, leading to these functions being converted into pseudo-experiences. This was through case studies of the three extremely different exhibits of the travelling exhibitions, Death of Architecture (held in permanent galleries) and ‘The Bonjour Experience’. A comparative analysis was done, based on certain set parameters, observing and analysing whether permanence actually holds the capacity of being fully functional and more useful in the future. The results indicated to the extreme loss of experience and failure faced by the Death of Architecture exhibition, having forced itself into the constricted shackles of rigid galleries; while the Bonjour Experience lived up to its name, and was able to create a space of cultural appropriation. It also concluded that this constant fixation on permanence is leading to all temporary functions becoming vehemently similar to each other, leaving barely any scope for variations or range.
An article, based on the analysis that came out of this dissertation, was published, by me, with Rethinking the Future. Screenshots of the same, have been put too. Link-

ARCHITECTURAL JOURNALISM INTERNSHIP 15- WEEK LONG INTERNSHIP AT RETHINKING THE FUTURE (RTF) A 15 week architectural jounalism internship, done from home, this allowed me to use my love for architecture and writing together, writing various articles about multiple topics, a lot of which have been published, while the rest are on their way. The links for all articles can be found on my Linkedin account. (One of these articles, closely related to my dissertation, has been talked about, previously.

ARTISTIC ENDEAVOURS
THE SEED THAT FLOURISHED
ESCAPE
The following was a graphic made for the cover page of the first, upcoming, journal of U.S.A.P It symbolises the life cycle of a seed and how it flourishes to splurge into different school of thoughts, while inspiring many alike.
A small graphic, painted, by me, on the wall of my terrace, symbolising the form escape takes for me. It is also depicting the colourful forms a style of escape can take for a person, despite the outcome being a product of one’s own satisfaction.
SPACE SKETCHING FOR THE ENVISIONING OF ALAYA, THE GREEN HOUSE Alaya, the green house was a residence to be designed in the green township of Nirvana Country. The aim was to mirror the greens of the context inside, with a sense of openness and serenity. Instead of doing this over 3Ds and drawings, I resorted to sketching and using colours to envision the space and bring the thoughts and brief onto paper.
LOGO DESIGNING A logo is the first impression one has of a brand or a company. It is the selling point of a product, one that aims to bring the true essence of the service across, with the marriage of intrigue and sheer simplicity. The following were iterations of logos for a company called Ventenilla Unica. Primarily dealing in distribution, the firm wished to extend into manufacturing and designing soon. The requirement was of a logo that accommodated its expanding interests, with subtly highlighting the letters ‘V’ and ‘A’, for its heirs.
The first two attempts were done to create a logo that, while being simplistic, focused on the name of the firm and depicting it as a ‘One Stop Shop’ for the user’s needs.
The second set of attempts were done to fully focus on the presence of the firm and add gravitas to its name itself. The main aim was to stray away from defining it into a fixed space into the market, allowing it the freedom of expanding into all possible fields.
