An inquisitive student of architecture currently studying in 3rd year.
The sense of team spirit and leadership qualities that I’ve developed while heading various competitions has inculcated a rigorous work ethic and the ability to work with different teams and varied environments. Being inspired by all kinds of art, I’ve gotten a sensitive approach to design and architecture.

WEEKEND HOUSE FOR YOURSELF The studio dealt with various aspects of understanding of human anthropometrics and their implementations to a mid sized residential project of a vacation house. The site is in Champaner, on a flat land overlooking the Pavagadh Hills. The form is an adaptation of the Indian Courtyard house with the rooms designed along the central courtyard. The balconies in the bedrooms open up to South-West direction , overlooking the Pavagadh Hills.

The central courtyard acts as a connecting space between all the built masses, and works as a climatic facilitator in the hot and arid region of Patan in Gujarat. Large massing on the South Side casts a shadow and protects the Living Rooms and Kitchens from harsh South sun.

BREAKING DOWN THE GROUND BELOW Different buildings having their each own architectural characteristic were given to pre- assigned groups and through the process of putting lines and planes in it, we understand its structure and the design principles associated with it. Through various exercises aimed at decoding the existing structure into its points, lines and planes , and by making models; both in groups as well as individually, an intimate relationship of design principles and it’s understanding in designing buildings was gained.
KAILASHNATH TEMPLE The Kailash Temple is one of the largest rock -cut ancient hindu temples in Ellora, Maharashtra, India. A megalith carved out of a single rock,it is considered one of the remarkable cave temples in India because of its size, architecture and sculptural treatment.

01
There are 5 basic principles of design. They are :
AXIS Axis is the central line that connects two entities in a space. It helps in organizing the space or in dividing a space . It creates a natural sense of direction.
REPETITION Repetition simply means repeating the same subject over and over again to create a pattern. It brings a sense of unity and cohesiveness to the spaces.
LINEARITY Linearity affirms the dominance of one dimension to the other. It gives a sense of axis and also accentuates the length of the space .
HIERARCHY Hierarchy is when the spaces are smaller or larger to each other in a succession. It accentuates the order of importance.
BALANCE
Sketch depicting mass and void
(i)
Balance gives a sense of stability to the space wherein everything in the space and has equal importance.

02
Design principles like hierarchy were identified through points, lines, and planes of the section.
Sectional Study of Kailashnath Temple
Vertical as well as horizontal axis of the structure was understood which was then translated into symmetrical structure and gave a sense of balance to the rock cut monument.
Hierarchy in Section
Planar Study of Kailashnath Temple As the structure is a rock cut temple, a natural sense of enclosure is understood with the temple being carved onto the ground.
04
After working in groups and making model of the building or complex, according to the design principles it follows; we were made to work on individually , and make a single model which encompasses all the essences of the complex.
The models then represented and were helpful in identifying the usage of design principles that lead to the shaping of the character of the building.

DOCUMENTATION RSP This studio’s work focused on documentation of culture, character and building style of a place and design within that given context. The design program was to design an annexure to the MSU Fine Arts MRID Department which included workshops, studios as well as adaptive re-use of both the colonial era buildings i.e. Gulab Baug and Malti Baug. Challenges in designing included understanding and documenting a residential scale built form while the design was to be done of an institutional scale in the immediate context we had to relate to.
Malti Baug
Gulab Baug Gulab Baug
Site Area : 10,000 sq.m MRID Campus lies in a area of overlapping activities which change with time. The land use is highly mixed with various functions ranging from low to high activity depending upon the time of the day. The user group is divided due to the influence of MS University on one side and Sayaji Baug on the other side.There is influence of context from the university areas as well as from the highly public Sayaji Baug.

ANNEXURE OF MRID This studio’s work emphasised on the Contextual Studies and documentation of buildings undertaken in RSP. The understanding of culture, context, time and other intangibles of architecture was learnt. The design program was to design studios, workshops and also undertake adaptive Re-Use design of the buildings which are presently in an dilapilated condition. Challenges in designing included understanding and documenting a residential scale built form while the design was to be done of an institutional scale in the immediate context we had to relate to.
Due to the overwhelming heritage value of the buildings already present on site , and the design being in such close proximity, C- shaped clusters were formulated so that there is a greater appreciation of Malti Baug and Gulab Baug . Studios
Malti Baug
The design of the built is such that it adds to the collective cultural heritage of the buildings whilst speaking subtly of contemporary times.
Due to site being located in midst of dense trees, cutting any one of the 200 + trees would dimishish the flora and fauna of site.
Building forms are oriented and organized carefully so as to inculcate trees in the design process.

Workshops

02 C- shaped organization of blocks , creates a sense of invitation and becomes a public space.
At the end of the blocks, is an Open Air Theatre , which is sunken in the ground. There are planters on the cul-desacs.
The studio spaces are a G+1 structure, with coffer slabs used for longer spans.
The workshops are on a high plinth facing the Malti Baug, with their orientation and placement in accordance with functional requirements.
The classroom units have thoro-fares between two opposite units to encourage interaction and openness.The entrance is on a high raised plinth so that, Malti Baug and Gulab Baug can be appreciated .
10
The modules of studios and classrooms are repeated and units are stacked above each other. The protruding balconies act as voids and as a space for interaction to each other and to nature.

Long Section of Studios
The profile of the studios and workshops are kept lower than that of the existing context to adhere respecting the existing . They have been drawn back from Malti Baug for greater appreciation to the existing,

The stark contrast of brick and concrete in the elevations makes it stand out against the older heritage buildings. The voids, which create thoro-fares in plan allow for the backdrop of the sky against the built in elevation.

With the windows depressed in the facade, it creates patterns of light and shadow on the elevation.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE The studio engaged in understanding scale and complexity of institutional type projects. The program was to design a Skill Development Institute in Silvassa. It revolved on designing skill based training workshops, Audio-Visual lecture rooms, offices, and the residential portion of the institute campus which included Director’s Bungalow, Staff Quarters and hostels. The program explored the possibilities of designing in a tight piece of land and relationships between a built mass to another, helping to bind together a cohesive campus environment.

CONSTRAINTS Water logging on west part of the site as the site lies on a high flood line. Presence of a water body near in close proximity to the site would make the climate too humid.
OPPORTUNITIES Site’s form allows for maximum usage of prevailing South-West winds which is favourable for this climate. The site’s natural terrain allows for water to flow out of the site.
The building mass forms follow the natural contours and their placement is also due to functionality which is taken from contours.
The plaza which is at the centre of the institute, plays a vital role in being a flexible space which can accomodate all events as well as become a space for interaction .
Section through workshops , plaza and promenamdes of the sites Towards the river side, according to regulations, no built mass could be designed so using the contours, a landscape as well as sit out space is designed. 14
With space sparsely available for the residential zone, it was divided into hostels, staff quarters and residences according to level of privacy, ease of access and built space needed.
Damanganga River The organization of units which open up to the river help in adding more layers of privacy to the hostel blocks. The L- shaped organization opens up to views of the river side and also is easily accessible from the residential entry gate.
Staff Quarters The organization of blocks is done in such a way that in a humid condition like such, it captures the breeze from South-West to decrease humidity.
They are staggered to make use of the site’s boundary and allow for minimum dead spaces. The core spaces are arranged around a central plaza which becomes a space for congregation.
Workshop spaces which require loading and off loading of materials are designed in such a way on the site that they have easy access to vehicles.
15
One of the concerns regarding the placement of hostel was privacy. Due to dense site clusters, it was designed to be at the South of the site facing the apple orchards.
The form of the mass was designed due to issues regarding privacy, so the staggered shape opens up to South West side and the blank wall on East breaks visual barrier.
Balconies open up to the South West side, to catch wind and they also act as a sun cutter from the harsh South sun.
The building mass forms follow the natural contours and their placement is also due to functionality which is taken from contours.
The staff quarters open up to the river on the east side. The configuration of units renders a sense of entry and also allows for a small parking space. The individual units have easy access from the residential entry .

Prof. Vyas Retierded professor 67 year old .Anything that reduces the nuisance off these youngsters,would be good for maintaining the sanctity of the place.
The openings are left open or covered with porous materials to allow sunlight in the space. As there are activities like reading introduced, natural light is essential.
Another reason to keep the openings intact is to maintain the visual connectivity to the space and to provide natural surveillance.

As there is an existing Gazebo on the side of the design space, old people are used to sit in that space.

It opens in all four directions. It can be used to store books as well as to keep bags or just as a support to keep objects on it. To basically attract people and to make it a vibrant place, the idea of creating grafti on the walls was taken up and the shapes were derived from pure geometry. Circle was shown by the cycle wheels, the rectangle was shown by the fruit crates, and the triangle for the grafti.
