ARCHITECT S OFFICE

A creative environment where architects and designers can work.
WHY PYRAMID? The design works including the sheets and models of a firm speaks for the kind of style that particular firm follows. The idea was to create a space with maximum visibility to all the exhibited models and sheets from all parts of the office. The pyramid is used since the basement can be used for display and storage and the basement is visible from ground floor as well as the first floor of the building. DESIGN PROCESS

DESIGN

Location : Kerala Total Built up area : 545 sqm The site is located in kerala, Which has a warm and humid climate. So cross ventilation is one of the main factor which lead to this design. The site has a sloping terrain. The slope is towards the southwest direction. The form is derived by the terrain.
RAMP 1/12 RATIO
RAMP 1/12 RATIO
The sloping character of the site is used in the design to create various levels in the landscape.Since 1/3 rd of the house is covered in soil, the space inside the house will have a cooling effect. One of the main attraction of the house is the 5mX5m skylight which captures the Norther light, This light is used to illuminate all the common spaces.

SKYLIGHT One of the main challenges of this project was to create the skylight. ATTIC SPACE
The skylight is achieved by creating a separate hollow cuboid. which is rotated in 45degrees to capture the northern light. The skylight is placed right above the entrance and only one supportingOHTwall is given.

•
The Northern light is captured through the 5mX5m skylight and is oriented towards all the common spaces.

A beautiful view of the sky is framed which is visible from the living space.
•
The vertical length of the opening in southern side spaces are reduced to block the harsh sunlight.
•
Cross ventilation is one of the main design factor. since kerala has a hot and humid climate. The openings are oriented to capture the wind from the south west direction.

FOR CAMPUS MAP
•
Manipal is an international university.
•
Students and companies from all over the world comes to Manipal. Since Manipal University has separate blocks for each course, Finding the right place is a bit confusing. A map of the whole campus is essential near the entrance of the building.
The structure is inspired by nature. Which resulted in the

KINETIC GATE DESIGN
4th Year
10
The idea is to create an interesting way of entering to a space. The concept of kinetic Architecture is used in this design. A Mechanical opening system is used to create an elegant curvature while opening the gate. To create an enjoyable experience for the users.
The structure requires : • vertical louvers (light weight e.g. Aluminium) • straight steel pipe (fixed to a rigid structure) • curved steel pipe (fixed to a motor)
FULLY CLOSED
5% OPEN
An angle is provided on the Louvers to create a curve on the structure as it opens. 10% OPEN

WORKING MODEL CONCEPTUAL SKETCH

OPEN POSITION
Straight pipe fixed to a rigid structure.
Curved Pipe which defines the curvature of the structure. The pipe is fixed to a motor. As the motor rotates the pipe ,the pipe pushes the louvers one-by-one in a gradual manner. This will result in the smooth curve formed by the structure.
CAFE REDESIGN - INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECT
4th Year
12
LOCATION : MANIPAL Total Built up area: 228 sqm
The idea of this project is to create a self service cafe with an atmosphere which is totally in contrast with all the other spaces which is part of our day to day lives. This contrasting atmosphere can help the users to take a break from their busy life.
The main concept is to have a complex structure which is very light at the same time. Simple lines are used to create a complex nature by creating an interesting pattern. The pattern is designed in such a way that- from one point the view of the cables are organised and from another the cable seems very irregular. The tables are suspended by cables. A similar concept is used for the ceiling by using cables to create an organic shape. Simple lines are used to create a harmonious structure as a pattern for the ceiling.
DESIGN FACTORS
13
Since the cafe is situated near Manipal University , Students will be the primary users. Separate informal seating areas are provided for the students. These spaces are separated using partition walls. According to the requirements the interior space is divided into the cafe and tattoo parlour. Waiting area is used as a buffer space between these functions. A

CEILING DESIGN

The ceiling is created by cables tied in a basic steel frame. The base geometry of the ceiling is created by using a triangular prism - the 3 edges becomes the main supporting structure which is ďŹ xed to the wall. Threaded rods are used to connect these edges in an alternating pattern in one face of the prism.
Triangular prism Cables in Tension
The cables are tied on the threaded rod in a continuous manner which results in the harmonious shape.

LIGHT FIXTURE
1st Year
Light and Shadow This light fixture is made using an Umbrella.
The idea of the project was to create a light fixture that diffuses the light towards the walls to create an interesting pattern. The Umbrella was chosen because of the unique geometry it has along with curves on the edges, which are used to create a pattern on the wall using light and shadow. Also it being structurally lightweight makes it easier to create and install the fixture.
The Shaft of the umbrella is cut.
Metal clip
Metal wire is attached to the clip. which was used to hang the fixture to the wall mounted light.

LOCATION : Pune Total Built up area: 4082 sqm
Pune has a hot semi-arid climate. The Site is located on a less vegetated area. The site is situated next to a lake. Due to the climatic factors there will be high heat load on the building. To decrease the heat load a secondary skin system is designed. The Layers are oriented in such a way to achieve a self shading mechanism on the building. Wind direction is one of the design factor which lead to the orientation of the layers.Since the building has to function as an Art gallery

The building is oriented in such a way that the wind load exerted on the building is minimum and the view towards the lake is not compromised.
Ground Floor PLAN Only diffused sunlight is used inside the building. The direct sunlight is blocked by the layers. Since direct sunlight increases heat load in the building. At the same time view from the building towards the landscape is not compromised.

Concept of Self shading The layers are designed in such a way that the building gets shaded most of the time except when the sun is exactly perpendicular to the building. which is only few minutes. Only during this time the HVAC load will be higher. These Layers can be made by RCC precast.

open spaces between each studios. These vegetated informal space provides the students to have a peaceful interactive spaces. These spaces act as a buffer space between each studios. Since this is a Performing Art campus. Music studios and Dance halls require a buffer space to reduce the noise level produced by each studio. One of the design factor was the contour on site. Since the site is located on a contoured terrain. The contours are used to create various levels in the building for various activities. Hostel block Campus block

Structure inspired from nature. The most beautiful patterns and geometries are seen in nature. These naturally occurring forms and structures can be implemented in our day to day life through architecture. This structure can be installed in public spaces to enrich the visual quality and usability of the space.
Various functions can be assigned to each module according the requirement of the space.

The geometry hexagon is commonly seen in nature such as in honeycomb, snowakes etc The shape hexagon can circumscribe the largest area for a given perimeter. Hexagon is used as the basic unit in this design. A series of hexagons of varying dimensions are used. Two parameters (radius of the hexagon and the extruded dimension of each unit) is gradually varying. In overall the gradual change in the dimensions creates a harmonious pattern. The hexagonal units on the bottom part are extruded to create seating space. Similarly the other hexagonal units are used for various functions such as storage, lighting , poster display space and waste bin.
