Students and companies from all over the world comes to Manipal. As a result various international and national level functions such as exhibition, concerts etc happens in Manipal.

•

For display of products and ideas by various companies and

The streamline shape of the structure allows the crowd to pass through the structure easily.

•

Extra supports are given to the structure by connecting the top corners of the triangular unit.

Possible circulation from all 4 sides

•

Sheets can be used to cover the structure.

•

Depends on the use transparent or opaque sheets can be used.

•

Various patterns can be created by using different materials on the covering sheet.

CAFE REDESIGN

6

Interior design project

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.

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.

Since the cafe is situated near Manipal University , Students will be the primary users. Separate in formal 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

The tables are suspended by cables. A similar concept is introduced for the ceiling by using cables to create an organic shape.

TABLE DESIGN

The table is suspended from the slab using cables.The table is fixed rigidly by restraining all the movements using cables.

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

RESIDENCE DESIGN

2nd Year

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 of the building is derived by the terrain, 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.

ATTIC SPACE

One of the main challenges of this project was to create the skylight 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 supporting wall is given.

The structural load has to be supported by this wall.

The structure is inspired by nature. Which resulted in the organic form. One of the key element in this design is the flow of water as seen in nature, This is achieved by using corrugated sheets cut into an ellipse.

These layers are oriented in such a way that the rain water flows from layer to layer at the end the water is collected by a channel.

LOCATION : Pune Total Built up area: 4082 sqm

LAYERS

Pune has a hot semi-arid climate. The Site is located on a less vegetated area.

SITE

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 as a whole is designed in the form of Art The organic overall geometry of the structure gives the structure its distinctive look.

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.

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.

Organic form converted to layers The distance between each layer is 1.5meters
