My name is Rishith, I’m an 22 years old bachelor of architecture. A MODERN POLYMATH Right from my childhood I always wanted to be a polymath, after joining architecture I realized that being an architect is not more different than being a polymath. I think those of us in architecture also have an intrinsic quality to be ridiculously curious. Of course, there is a bias here, but the architect, to me, quite closely resembles the modern polymath. I am not talking about architects who have hobbies in other disciplines but more so those who have incorporated those extra areas of study as an essential part of their work. It is a quality that is inseparable from our fields.

01 INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTER Hyderabad is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan cities in the world, Financial District of Hyderabad is one of the major contributor to the IT Industry of India. An International Convention Center set amidst these valley of needs and opportunities serves the purpose well. The core idea behind the design was to represent the context of Hyderabad on a global level by designing an iconic structure that also becomes a landmark and a part of the new image of the city.

The design started with the roof, which is a combination of four hyperbolicparaboloids of thick concrete shells supported by a steel frame. Light enters the building through four open corners of the roof and also through a central skylight system stretching from the center to other corners.

The concrete roof makes up the major part of the design both functionally and aesthetically. A simple waterfall is designed at the center which would be the interactive hotspot of the building and four thin long curvilinear glass panels emerging from that opens up the structure to the light on all four sides. The convention hall is catered by service dock situated on the backside of the building which is accessible by vehicles through a service road. The existing cluster of trees is untouched and the landscape is designed sensibly around them making up space for outdoor expos and events. Section

02 SCULPTING THE PIONEERS OF ARCHITECTS : TADAO ANDO Simply the brief was to create an iconic accessible space in terms of architectural expression. It should be the amalgamation of the Architect's lifelong work and design philosophy encased in one built form. The site located in Osaka, Japan which is Tadao's place of dwelling, and it encouraged him to pursue and adapt to his style of architecture and design. Osaka is regarded as a city built not by the government, but by the people. With such deeply rooted niches.

The idea behind the design was to create a journey with a series of spaces that interact with the user and make him understand the philosophy of the architect. These spaces are designed considering six elements of Tadao Ando’s architectural style - Concrete as a material, Geometry of forms, Light and Shadow, Water, Japanese arch, and Nature.

Exit walkway
Prayer room
This walkway is below the ground level, which is accessed through a curved staircase that reveals the space slowly as we move forward and the walkway is punctured with openings on top on both sides allowing natural light inside and creating a play of shadows.
The core room is a double-height cylindrical space with a light well in the center and a tree below.
As one exits the core a walkway is present with a series of platforms at different levels filled with water on both sides followed by two green pockets with Japanese cherry orchid trees.
The prayer room is created as a tribute to Tadao Ando’s famous works related to sacred spaces.
Also, the light falls on the water present on both sides, resulting in reflected water patterns on the walls creating a visually serene space.
The walls have small linear openings in typical Tadao Ando style, creating different light conditions at different times, making the light and shadow as a metaphor for secondary lighting to view the tree.
Breaking the linearity of form a raised platform is created at a distance with an angle of perception making space for the crowd to appreciate the beauty of the structure and there they are left to ponder.
Where the space filled with darkness is brightened up with the light as an expression of God in terms of an architectural language.

03 WOMENS HOSTEL The site is located off the bank of Musi River, situated within a cluster of trees surrounded by a busy round which is a part of the Osmania University college for women, for which the brief was to design a women's hostel.
Studying the general patterns of hostels the design concludes on creating a world within a world that is free from traditional claustrophobic closed environments and representing the power and polarities of women through vibrant design interventions. Site plan

A circular ring-shaped floor plan was designed in order to separate two contrasting environments creating a large accessible green space for specific activities that are not seen or addressed for women in many stereotype designs and closed promising private spaces. Large cantilevered decks protrude from the corridors at all floors to create pausable spaces having a visual connection with the whole internal environment.

The rooms were divided into single-sharing, double-sharing, and triple – sharing where all those were designed with the same amount of efficiency using flexible design features like the modular furniture which can be accessed only at times of need. Also, all the rooms were given balconies that serve different personal purposes like gardening, yoga, etc., and have beautiful panoramic views.

The façade of the building looks punctured in and out to create buffer space from one room to another for the privacy aspect and also acts as a green cover at different places. A colorful palette is used for the elevation representing the vibrancy of women and also serves the purpose of ease in the identification of their room as signage or a color code.

04 HIGH RISE OFFICE BUILDING The site is situated in Bangalore, which is known as the silicon valley of India, A high-rise office complex was designed to be given as the brief of the competition. Office spaces are constantly changing in terms of form and function. Flexibility in the office is a keyword for the future, but the needs are changing where a new kind of workspaces like co-working, startups, etc. are emerging. Flexibility with innovation is needed because they are no longer just workspaces rather semi-public spaces which includes new informal activities.

Functional Section The idea behind the design was to create a flexible building which becomes the face of the city for technology and innovation, also a public plaza. The building is atop a podium that limits the public and acts as a buffer to the work zones. The core makes up the central part with triangular plates displaced in a parametric way, letting sunlight and shade in different parts at different times of the day. The floor plates are flexible with open floor plans. Mezzanine floors at alternative intervals connect two or more spaces depending upon the volume required by each individual office.

05 UNE NOUVELLE AUBIERS Reflecting on modernism's heritage in light of the sustainable paradigm, the goal is to design an extension to existing housing development (Les Aubiers, 1700 housing units, 1968-72) with careful attention to the aspects of modernism that either impede or favor establishing a more sustainable city. This neighborhood in Bordeaux was built in the late 1960s following the modernist and late modernist principles, far away from the city’s historic center with a larger vision of development around the surroundings, But it was never completely realized. Now this neighborhood stands right in the center of a new development extending from east of the city and passing through the rail yard right beside the Les Aubiers creating a chance to develop the site.

Les aubiers
Une nouvelle aubiers
Les Aubiers (ranging from 1018 stories) was built in 1972, a time where the high rise was a trending phenomenon and an accepted solution for mass-scale public housing. This project stands to one of the tallest and most striking buildings in Bordeaux for its monumental presence.
In Contrary to the existing Les Aubiers which is linear vertical, the proposed new housing project is linear horizontal to compete with the dominating presence of the high rise structure. The site previously is being a railway yard, the urban form tries to mutate the idea of a train connecting to its historical context. 2035 UNE NOUVELLE AUBIERS| 25
AXIS

OPEN SPACES
There are two major axes on the site. One vertical axis going towards Les Aubiers from the site. The other is horizontal and in the direction of the railway lines pointing towards Betasom marine base. These axes will be the major connectivity networks between the site and its surroundings.
The site has a tram network and a vehicular road towards the southern edge. It has a pedestrian road running across the site towards Les Aubiers. These Networks will connect the site and Les Aubiers to the main road and tram networks.
All buildings are designed along one axis and have sloped terrace gardens. These will be mixed-use, with commercial spaces on the ground floor and residential spaces on the remaining floors. The commercial spaces will be facing major axes.
Preservation of open spaces has been given a priority in the master plan. An effort has been taken in the division of spaces to allow maximum green space to exist. These can act as activity and recreation spaces for the community. These will also be a welcome respite from the vertical movement in the township.

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. The parallel movement of pedestrians at street level and different corridor levels creates an interesting visual and experiential phenomenon of social interaction. The terraces of these buildings are used for farming and agriculture, taking inspiration from the nearby pedagogical farm as a way of integrating it into the proposal from the old neighborhood.

MEMORIAL The saddest part of the whole neighborhood was found to be the submarine base, previously known as BETASOM (named by the Italian conquerors), which was built by the prisoners of war that eventually led to several deaths and later during the World War 2 bombings.
Geometry of the site
An axis drawing towards the base was the capitalizing idea to design the memorial and justify its location. The simplicity of the proposed design is to maintain the melancholy behind the history and the message that space is trying to convey. The design of the memorial is aimed at expressing the loss and misfortune through architecture and the built environment. An underpass is designed to the front of the memorial as a gesture of invitation to encourage people into the space.

LANDSCAPING
REHAB CENTER
The design aims to integrate the old neighborhood with the new development by harmonizing the green spaces which act as a place of communication amongst the two neighborhoods. Maintaining the harmony with the design of the housing blocks, the landscaping is designed in a way that best showcases this relation by in the regular and with gradually varying heights But to avoid making the space to random, the principles of Voronoi Teased to attain the same effect of irregularity yet giving it a sense of form
There is a growing drug problem in Bordeaux. This site has witnessed their activities like burning of stolen goods, drug dealing, etc., which could be problematic to the site in the long term. In this context, a rehabilitation center was proposed, but eventually could be turned into a community center catering to flexibility and adaptive reuse in the future.

06 CHARMINAR PRECINT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Charminar is the face of Hyderabad having an incredible 400-year history of architecture and heritage, recently an initiative called Charminar pedestrianization project has been approved which involves working on improvisation of quality of urban space around Charminar and it’s precinct by the pedestrianization of the surrounds and conserving some historic structures around. This competition emerged in a harmonious nature with the CPP focusing on additional Urban Design aspects keeping in mind the future of the precinct. But situated in a dense and congested part of the city it presents a new challenge to develop its surroundings without affecting the existing unique social fabric.

REVIVAL – The design tries to revive some of the architectural elements of the past in a contemporary way adapting to the present day needs and requirements. These include some elements taken from folklores and stories told by the locals and other sources.
The above picture depicts a view of the present-day conditions like visual disturbance involving the electrical wiring, billboards, display boards, and unnecessary crowding due to the unorganized movement patterns caused by hawkers and vendors.

Char Kaman – Meaning the four gates, namely, Charminar Kaman, Machli Kaman, Kali Kaman, and Sher-e-Batil-Ki-Kaman each have a unique purpose and identity in the old times are now in a dilapidated stage.
The road from the Pattergathi street through the Charminar Kaman being the only major road to reach the Charminar is leading to problems like overcrowding, congestion, and unwanted stalling by the hawkers and buyers.
Laadbaazar being the famous street for bangle shopping since the Nizam’s time is now in a messed up state with visual imbalance due to excessive hoardings, display boards, and electrical wiring.
The vending carts with different handicrafts, jewelry, and accessories are a part of Charminar’s urban fabric, But these create random movement patterns reducing the free space and disturbing the flow of people..
The design intervention is to bring back those contextual features into life and make them part of the new fabric – Golden curtains, Watchtower, Musical concert, Hanging emblems, etc.
To solve this problem an underground passage is designed with features like Gallery, Vending stalls, Public information center, and Washrooms, This opens directly at the mouth of Charminar.
As we cannot completely change the façade of the street, a proposal of a new arcade as a skin and a buffer space is introduced which brings an aesthetical symmetry to the street.
A new series of carts are placed like a curved staggering at four diagonal corners around the Charminar making way for comfortable movement throughout the precinct. CHARMINAR PRECINT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT | 32

The Master plan encourages an increase in housing densities by stacking floors in a terrace formation paving way for roof garden as a sign of sustainability and the green pockets around the neighborhood are connected in such a way that the movement on major roads can be avoided by the pedestrians. The buildings along the major roads have a mixed-use typology with both commercial and housing programs creating a sustainable and walkable environment. The building design follows the architectural code planned in the master plan in accordance with the individual context of the site.
