Rohit Chauhan rohitchauhan.carbonmade.com Men have spent countless years shaping the environment around them to better fit their needs, enable self growth and most of all, to leave their mark on nature. Art is the perfect expression of human spirit and desires. The mother of art is architecture. Architecture to me, is based around my love for creation, sating both, the physical and spiritual needs of my recipients - the clients, in manner unique to both them and me. Every design should satisfy the requirements of a brief, but why stop there? It should be a statement in time, not ostentatious, but bare and efficient. From the humblest of products to the grandest of hotels, like a solution to a unique problem, expressing individuality and the human will; It’s almost a religious pursuit of the ultimate truth, by design.

BRIEF

DESIGN PROCESS

Proposed at the site of the cultural hub of the massive JP Green City, this shopping mall is designed to be more than an average shopping mall in Delhi. It aims to go beyond the norms, by being a blend of commercial, social and recreational activities and ultimately by being a landmark structure in Delhi symbolizing the advent of modern architecture in India.

VISUAL CONNECTIVITY

SIMPLICITY OF CIRCULATION

The internal layout and design of blocks will allow seamless visual connection between the external elements, the focal point and open plaza at all times.

The skybridges, along with the focal point will make the space a tangible and accessible experience. Users will be able to easily orient and navigate themselves.

EXTROVERT PLANNING IPL Stadium

ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE

Everything is accessible and naturally connected with the external spaces and activities. User will always retain the sense and comfort of open space.

A blend between the built and unbuilt spaces, natural elements and a curvillnear structure to create a welcoming, but not indimidating, experience.

BRIEF

DESIGN PROCESS

Bhopal is a rapidly developing city, with regions like Berasia road quickly evolving into new residential cum commercial centers.

The concept evolved by designing reseidences around an integrated service and circulation core with all amneties and recreational spaces.

The aim of this project was creating an affordable mixed-use mutli storey housing for this region, without compromising on any front.

A recreational area and club house form the epicentre of site layout. Services located at the far NW corner of site.

The surrounding locality lacked desirability, oweing to visual and noise pollution. Narrow roads also made the area prone to traffic congestion.

The main ideology behind the facade is minimal and raw, taking cues from architecture brutalism. A design which is bold and raw in nature, but doesn’t overpower or appear incogruous to it’s immediate surroundings. The topmost priorty while designing was human comfort and convenience, which is taken as the core. The layout was kept regular and spacious, with emphasis on creating a cost saving design and an attractive facade.

BRIEF

DESIGN PROCESS

Datia is the district headquarters of the Datia district in north central M.P., a thriving spot for pilgrimage and tourism.

The natural features of the site provided a lot of insight for a conceptual layout. The hospital is designed with immediate proximity to the access points, followed by the college building.

CHALLENGES Site’s location next to the AH-43 restricted the amount of entrances that could be taken. The site itself was highly contoured and introduced other obstacles like thick vegetation, rocky patches and a freshwater stream roughly dividing the site in half. The placement and proper access fo the hospital and college buildings was the most crucial aspect of this design.

BRIEF

DESIGN PROCESS

During our VIIIth semester, we got an option to choose a project of our interest in the area of Interior Design. My intererst in music, acoustics and the condition of the music studio/jam room of the college poised as a unique and interesting problem in interior design.

Lavish interior or heavily treated sound-proof environment weren’t the aim here, as this is a college music room, which is used for practice purposes and not for recording.

volume of the room had to be divided so as to reduce the size of the The studio allowing for better acoustical treatment and to create a buffer space between the studio and canteen, which can also double as a storage space.

CHALLENGES The room itself has been repuposed for being used as a studio, and was initially a part of the college canteen.

BRIEF Maffick is the annual cultural festival of NIT Bhopal. I along with Anshul Raikwar designed the sponsorship brochure for it’s 2015 iteration, themed ‘Fiesta de Comico’. DESIGN PROCESS It was designed to be intentionally flashy and bold, from it’s art to it’s written content, with variants based on different shades on the cover page. We did a variety of runs with different base colours for the cover page. In an only digital format, we also made some exclusive themed brochures for specific companies targetted as the main sponsor. For example, for Hero, the brochure read ‘Hello Hero’ and had a similar red shade to that in their logo. 26

The curves of the design is a departure from the skewmorphic and rigid nature of the retro-visualization of the futuristic, giving a much sleeker and welcoming appearance, and ultimately implying the festive nature of the event. The poster reflects a unique take on technology, and the rising focus on green and sustainable in various sciences.

BRIEF

DESIGN PROCESS

The design was intended to resonate with the theme of the fest ‘Fiesta de Comico’, or the carnival of comic books. The world renown ‘comic-con’ festivals were a major influence in the conceptualization and execution of this theme.

Along with being flashy and chic it takes inspiration from ‘cut-out’ cartoons like Southpark and pop art from the 50s. In essence the design is like a comic book come to life, exuding the vibrant theme of the fest.

The foreground including the sky (clouds) and the sea and boat is always in motion, inspired by cut-out cartoon art. Each page has it’s own unique foreground items.

Hovering the pointer over any item in the menu enlarges it, displaying an animated cartoon mock up unique to the tab.

32

A card based menu to introduce people to the fest, also interest them into following the fest on various websites.

The ship represents a long journey, to the festival itself. The ship’s position change based on where the user is on the site.


EVENTS PAGE All the events were grouped into five basic categories with vibrant and playful images to help visually guide the users. The images, taken from older iterations of the fest, have been rendered in a ‘pop’ art style in keeping with the theme.

33

The event page resembles the layout of a comic strip. The bottom and top layers, the sky (genre boards in case of events page) and waves are animated.


REGISTRATION PAGE The whole vista and the boat depicts a night and day journey through the sea, and eventually reaching to ‘home’ of the festivities. Implying the process of finding out all the details and attractions of the festival and getting drawn to it.

34

The sky and the bottom part perpetually move to give a ‘cut-out’ cartoon-ish feel, keeping the page dynamic.
