ARCHITECTURE & ME The journey that i began in the year 2008 as a young architectural student took me through a new world that was surrounded by things that i was to study and learn how to design and make better. To be honest, I never knew how much of the world could be changed by the simple change in architecture and visa - versa. This is how I understand architecture, “A single line drawn on a sheet of paper by an architect can be a roof over a person’s head”, that is the power of architecture.

I believe, I as an architect would always be a student to the discipline of architecture, constantly learning, growing and evolving my understanding of the society, people and the cultures of the world ergo the architecture needed to make better of the space around all of us. I wish to follow my profession as an architect and grow into a successful urban designer and planner.

URBAN DESIGN The Urban Design studio exercise was directed towards the understanding and implication of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) which is becoming the need of the hour along the metro corridores of New Delhi. The site of study provided for the eercise to our team consisting of myself, Kabilan Satyamurthy, Navneeth Krishnan and Nikit Deshlahra was tagged as a Special Area Zone by the Master Plan of Delhi, 2021.

The aim of the studio exrcise was to promote TOD, redensify by proposing alternative landuse through the study of the current patterns and the newly added metro corridore and its impacts on Karol Bagh. The site area in concern was taken to a radius of 500m around the metro station of Karol Bagh ( ~64 hectares ).

INCLUSIVE HOUSING A very interesting subject of study was that of inclusive housing. To understand the issues, complexcity and the dynamics of providing a singular shared dwelling complex, consisting of families of multiple economic divisions in the society, which feed off and into eachother’s livelyhood in one or more ways. The studio exercise was not just about providing a built setup but a built environment which lead to a healthier cooperative and self sufficient society. The needs and conditions that two or more different economic sections of a society differe in many ways. The exercise lead to understanding how these differences and similarities could be used to create an “ inclusive housing” module.

The integration and injection of these varying socio - economic groups to create an scene of socially interactive society was the essence of the solution hence provided to the exercise.

Architectural Competitions as Game Changers

Architecture is a slow profession; buildings take months to several years to be realised after they are conceptualised. Thus it takes time for a new architectural idea to be accepted as part of the mainstream. In the time frame for a building to be built, become successful and inspire a change, the smartphone market for example has already seen several iterations.

This transformation may happen in different ways in architecture like movements, trends and styles. Competitions have helped catalyse change in architecture as they provided the competitive space similar to the consumer market, where only the best survive. This understanding has ensured that architectural competitions are an integral part of our profession as they have challenged architects to push the boundaries of their imaginations and yet manage to generate designs that can be realised. Formally organised Architectural Competitions have dated back to the Renaissance. A famous early example is the competition for the dome of the Cathedral in Florence. The dome went on to become one of the most important Renaissance monuments not only for its aesthetic achievement but also for the sense of pride in their own city that it instilled among the Florentine population. Competitions can thus be game changers; setting up new standards, challenging pre-existing notions and acting as catalysts to change existing paradigms.

Theory of Paradigm Shift, by Thomas Kuhn

The paper on focused on understanding and disecting the process, success, faliure and the grand history being architectural competitions. As through the research it was realised that competitons have been the tipping points in architectural history and hence the area of paradigm shifts in architecture was further studies.

The catalytic effect created in the padigm of architecture was ticked by many famous and infamous competitons leading to different movements, styles and trends which came into light through the process of these competitions. The seminar research also made a consious effort to understand the need, the purpose the mechanics involved and the controvercies surroundng such events.Studying through the world history of architectural competitons it was made sure to understadn how this shift in paraadigm affected the architecture in India and the change hence it brought.

DISSERTATION Antonio Gaudi was a visionary, an architect who built and designed with respect to his context with not just the present but the future was embraced in his designs. Being an expressionist, Gaudi made sure he expressed his concerns through his art forms in his architecture. Gaudi’s creations were not mere architectural work but architecture which were public art in its true sense.

Can Architecture fall in the realm of Public Art in the Modern times The twentieth century has seen a very significant diversity in the field of art. Paintings have served as a form of expression, a tool for artists to emote out on canvas. The entire phenomenon of creating art work in a physical space visualised by the sense of touch and experienced not only through eyes but by the physical body has been morphed into the field of public art. Artists throughout the world have expressed their work in different conventional-unconventional styles, methods, expressions. They have their unique mediums and elements through which they stimulate art. One such element is – space, which forms an integral part of one’s existence, physically. Since centuries artists have used this idea of “space” to express and beautify publically in the form of sculptures, fountains and for that matter, elaborate intricately designed buildings. Forming an indispensible part of public space, architecture is an architect’s vision, thought, creativity and style embodied in the form of a physical structure in a given space.

Architectural design needs to grow and produce public architectural work, which is, more than just the architecture. Public architecture is, what will define our new cities and towns. The way our public buildings function, engage the community in a dialogue which bonds the people, brings together the society, make us emote and rejoice with the pride of the ownership of that architectural work, would be when architecture and public art may merge as one.

Is it the dwell – in – ability of architecture , that separates it from being a form of public art or the scale of the physical form that makes it different from public art or there are social and economic aspects of a society what separates the two? Are there certain junctions at which the two disciplines – art and architecture – intersect, that would shed some light on the above asked question? Arcelor Mittal Orbit

The seven wonders of the world are all architectural marvels, unique in their design, idea, concept and vision, all set up in a very largely undeniable public realm, just like any master work of art, are being constantly judged, critiqued, applauded, loathed and appreciated by the onlookers. These spectacular creations are not a conception of the present but the work of artists and designers lost to us years ago. That thought, the instinct of those architects and designers was to create something exceptional and inimitable, the way an architect or an artist would want his work to be remembered as. If architecture is to be put under the category of public art, would all the iconic buildings and architectural marvels be the first ones which are taken into consideration as public art forms? These iconic buildings apart from being results of engineering wonders are also aesthetically designed and perceived as statements of the ideas and concepts of the designer – the architect. Is it only these buildings because of their glory and magnificence may be called public art?
