PORTFOLIO MONSOON SEMESTER - 2018 AMEESH - PG180064
ABSTRACTION | VISUALISATION | REPRESENTATION 1. Intention Abstract lines that are regulating the profile of an object. Identify the constituent parts or units of a doubly curved surface. Breaking down a non-developed surface into smaller parts which may be developed, and hence understanding how to construct them. 2. Task To use minimum lines to achieve the profile of curvilinear form using cartesian grid.

HAUNCHED MORTIS & TENON WITH STOP MITERED & SUB-TENON
This is a joinery , mostly used in the door frames to take the vertical compression load. The joinary is able to lock two wood peices at a perpendicular position. STEPS : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Sketching Mock up model Shaping wood logs using the perpendicular tool Marking the negatives for the cut outs Saw and chissile is used to shape the log as per its detail . Sanding and buffing is used to smoothen the surfaces. Oiling is then used to polish the wood peices.

AN ITERATION OF THE MORTIS & TENON JOINT The iteration of the haunched mortis and tenon joint was derived by reducing the volume of the previous joinery to 1/3rd, while retaining the same dimensions of the previous joinery and introducing another material, which would allow for the forces to coordinate in the same direction. The joinary is able to lock two wood peices at a perpendicular position. STEPS :
MATERIALS :
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Sketching 1. Wood Mock up model 2. Cement Sheet Shaping wood logs using the perpendicular tool Marking the negatives for the cut outs Saw and chissile is used to shape the log as per its detail . Extracting the required dimensions of the other material (in this case cement sheet) 7. Assembling the two materials together 8. Sanding and buffing is used to smoothen the surfaces. 9. Oiling is then used to polish the wood peices.

TOWER OF COMMERCE The commercial tower is located near the helmet circle , in Ahmedabad. The rabari community is a prominent community which is influential to the urban fabric. The volume shamphers its ground entry towards the rabari community, to allow for a connection to the ring road. The volumetric manifestation was governed both by the syructural system , as well as the sun path. The south side has a horizontal projection of its floor plates, to shade the openings. The north side allowed for volumetric reduction in the massing to maximise the terraces and allow for the day illumenance to enter the built mass in abundance. The east and west side were governed by the openings, which faced against the sun path. The structure is heavier at the base to strenthen the vertical loads, hence the columns of the first three floors are a composite of concrete and steel. To reduce the weight of the columns of the above floor plates , only steel is used. The programe has the retail at the first three floors and commercial offices above it. DISPLACEMENT DIAGRAM

EPILOGUE The studio had been a revalation for me. The possibility that existed in the area of this study is immense . Bridging the gap between engineering and architecture . A unique approach of starting with a detail and leading that upto a programmatic solution , is rather exciting. The dictionary of the building was complete , before stepping into the complexities of the programmatic design . The architectural language is strongly depicted by its core details. The design solutions are true to their details and hence grounded to reality.
