OFFICE DESIGN Location Typology Project Year
: Banglore, India : High-rise, Business building : Academic : 2018, Sem V
The Indian workspace is undergoing dramatic changes with Indian millennials spending the most amount of time in their offices compared to their global peers, working an average of 52 hours per week! Emergence of many new “start-ups�, affordability, distance and time for travel- are some of the other factors that are crying out for a change in the way we look at and design our work spaces. Flexibility, need-based space requirement, dynamic spaces that are inspiring both during the day and night, spaces that allow for collaboration – these are some of the ingredients that would make for an apt office space today.

Since the dawn of the white-collar age, office prototypes have been a habitual dilemma. There has been a historical shift in values and lifestyles and hence a shift in workplace environments over the last decade. With people spending more and more time in their workplace (wherever that may be), the modern workplace has become flexible and human-centric. The workplace is evolving faster than ever before and we must pioneer the new office design movement. A one-size-fits-all workplace does not do justice to the multicultural, multilingual, and multigenerational workforce. Old ways are being set aside, and new-age solutions are being criticized. The challenge is to program and reinvent our offices into a modern workspace that are inclusive and take into account the various parameters which makes up the human construct.

As the major amount of time is being spent in the offices, it is important to be in a proper environment, that enhances productivity and helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The design aims to create a balanced atmosphere to work in, having equally distributed garden areas for each floor. The alternate arrangement of the garden areas increases the interaction between various workgroups.

KINDERGARTEN Location Typology Project Year
: Hyderabad, India : Education building : Academic : 2017, Sem III 17
Education provided to children in their early childhood is critical for building the foundation for lifelong character formation. In the environment carefully designed for kindergarten education, children should be encouraged to have various experiences while spending time chiefly by playing. Teaching at kindergarten should be comprehensive and yet be tailored to children’s individual needs. The aim of the project is to design a kindergarten accommodating 4 classrooms (2 sections each), along with required administration facilities.

UNE NOUVELLE AUBIERS Location Typology Project Year
: Bordeaux, France : Masterplan, Housing : Academic( Exchange Programe) : 2019, Sem VII
Reflecting on modernism’s heritage in light of the sustainable paradigm, the goal is to design an extension to an existing housing development Les Aubiers, 1700 housing units.
21
Our site is situated to the south of the Les Aubiers township. It was previously a greenfield site but over the years, has been contaminated by illicit activities by miscreants. The site is close to two Tram stations and also has a pedagogical farm in its surroundings. The Les Aubiers neighborhood is quite isolated and there is a stigma surrounding it. This has affected the commercial activity in that area. The design aims to develop the adjacent site in a way that is beneficial to both Les Aubiers and the site. Trees have been transplanted from the northern border of the railway yard to the South for a separation between the industrial buildings to the South and the residential blocks to the North. This also will ensure there isn’t a physical ‘border’ between the existing buildings and the new buildings.

M A ST ER PL A N The project aims to up-cycle the existing neighborhood of Les Aubiers which is known to be socially inactive due to various reasons. A new tram line is being proposed that will go along the southern edge of the site. The goal is to bring in an inflow of visitors into the site to boost commercial activity. There are two major axes for the movement. One is tram line and the other is a road for vehicular and pedestrian access. Road

A conscious effort to design spaces that are pedestrian-oriented was the prime objective of the project while keeping the vehicular movement to a minimum. The site is planned while keeping the urban future needs in mind and aims to improve the social and economic quality of life in the neighborhood
M E MORIAL
The saddest and the most tragic part of the whole neighborhood was found to be the Base sous-marine, previously known as Betasom (named by the Italian conquerors), which was built by the prisoners of war that eventually led to several deaths and loss during the world war 2 bombing. The design of the memorial is aimed at expressing this loss and misfortune through architecture and the built environment. The simplicity of the proposed design is to maintain the melancholy behind the history and the message space is trying to convey. The intent behind designing a simple walled structure was to create a space that brought more exposure enabling everyone that visits the place to experience the bravery of the fallen and the sufferers. For the same reason, an underpass is designed to the front of the memorial as a gesture of invitation to encourage people into space.

The linear row of buildings designed vary gradually from the ground floor level to the highest order of G+7 with a steady increase in the heights from both the sides to the center almost in a wave-like pattern with subtle ups and downs as shown. The terraces of these buildings are used for farming and agriculture taking inspiration from the nearby pedagogical farm as a way of integrating into the proposal the integrity of the old neighborhood. The idea behind this proposed design is that of a mixed-use development with all of the amenities resting on the ground floor and, the terrace gardening with the agriculture and horticulture serving the commercial purposes of the neighborhood with the rest being residential use.

The landscaping is also designed to integrate the old neighborhood with the new development by designing it towards the existing Les Aubiers apartments by harmonizing the green spaces which act as a place of communication amongst the two neighborhoods. This designed affiliation between the two developments will help to unify the two spaces and to create yawning for the old establishments from its isolation. View

Maintaining harmony with the design of the housing blocks, the landscaping is designed in a way that best showcases this relation by making them irregular and with gradual varying heights as shown. But to avoid making space too random, the principles of Voronoi were used to attain the same effect of irregularity yet giving it a sense of form.

RE H ABILITATI ON C ENTER
There is a growing drug problem in Bordeaux, especially in poor neighborhoods. Illicit activities like burning of stolen goods, drug dealing are on the rise. This could be problematic to the site long term. In this context, a rehabilitation center was proposed. The structure consists of column-supported glass walls that are all encased within a shell-like structure. Shells represent a safe place, a space to retreat to when the world treats you harshly. The outer envelope has a round surface with soft edges and aims to create a welcoming environment. It works towards creating a safe space. The goal of using glass walls in the structure is to make the space liberating. It creates a sense of freedom and does not make the occupants feel trapped. The floor plan is open and encourages interaction between occupants.

05 CHARMINAR PRECINCT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Location Typology Project Year
: Hyderabad, India : Urban Design : Competition : 2019, Sem VI
Built in 1591AD, Charminar is marked as a landmark of the city. It experiences a wide range of activities which are commercial, religious, cultural and also social. The reason for degeneration in the area is the misuse of available space and infrastructure. These aspects discourage many user groups from accessing the area, effecting its economic and cultural vitality and limiting its potential.
29
The CPP (Charminar Pedestrianization Project) was instituted by the government in 2006. CPP aims to achieve through the proposed concept plan a quality urban environment which is accessible, safe, secure and aesthetic. The major works include pedestrianization of Charminar surroundings, conservation of historic buildings in the precinct. The project proposed in the extension of CPP. OBJECTIVES OF PROPOSED DESIGN • To restrict vehicular access into the precinct. • To design elements that are inspired from existing architecture adding aesthetic value • To have clean terraces, which can be used for storage etc • To restore the existing buildings by improving the facade design keeping the same architectural value

The design is majorly inspired by the existing Nizam architecture of Hyderabad and major design cues from within the site. The above are some of the existing architectural details that were replicated while designing the elements
The streets are completely pedestrianized by restricting vehicular access into the precinct after a certain point with mechanized bollards that go down into the ground in case of an emergency. Elements like street lights, signage boards, vending carts, food containers etc., have been proposed The illustration shows the proposed elements in the Charminar precinct in blowups (boxes). Each element designed in a way that reflects the architectural heritage of the old Charminar and subtly makes aware of the then existing culture in some way.
