SCHOOL
is a space where learner can connect with people in an interdependent social setting
PROJECT : An Eco Learning initiative LOCATION : Along the northern banks of Uyyakondan Canal,Trichy. SITE AREA :16000 sqm YEAR : III year/semester 5
01
VOLUME The total volume required for the school project
02
OPEN SPACES The volume was separated to provide a open informal gathering for students in the middle of the building
ROOF The form of the roof began to follow the form of the spaces below
The entire space was manipulated to provide green spaces inbetween the classrooms.These green spaces creates an outdoor learning space for children. They also help regulate the building’s temperature.

The built space focuses on the voids around it for the children to feel free in the environment.The ends of corridor takes us to the view the open skyline.
EXHIBITION space design which can expand andcontract, holds two different kind of exhibits in a year
PROJECT : Exhibition Space LOCATION : Vestry School ground,Trichy. SITE AREA : 20000 sqm YEAR : III year/semester 5

Whereas the interior exploration has lead to explore the inner self,Skin of the building speaks itself.
As like the space expands and contracts,the facade of the building is made movable according to the amount of light required for the exhibits.
A small space of 2.1 *2.1 *2.1 was designed for the user to relax and enjoy along with the nature. The spacial arrangement was arrived based on the visitor’s circulation.

GREEN HOUSING ( PASUMAI COLONY ) It is inevitably important to understand a village not only on the basics of it’s Architectural aspects of the built environment but also towards learning their traditional wisdom which could keep their own natural,social and cultural resources sustainable.
Studio WISDOM focuses to explore on WATER CONSERVATION strategies
PROJECT : Pasumai colony LOCATION : Kiliyur,along river Cauveri,Trichy. YEAR : II year/semester 3

CENTER FOR FAITH A centre for faith is a place where people are to connect with their deepest self and create,develop and nourish the relationship between them and this object of trust. This design has been approached through an experiential process of emotions. The structure has utilised vernacular techniques with the common and modern material WOOD.

Natural ventilation is one of the major factors that influence the indoor air quality and the thermal comfort of a buildings. The water table apparatus is an affordable tool for students, architects, engineers and owners to simulate air movement and visualize performance.

The Workshop was to analyse and evalvate the wind movement of a real time residential projects-Residence for Mr.Balachandar and residence for Mr. karthikeyan. Both the residences are located at Kumbakonam and are designed by Ar. Vidhyashankar. The students were divided into groups of five.
Introduction
Study models were built and various parameters were tested in the watertable experiment and documented. Post experiment, video was processed in photoshop and analysed. VERANDAH

Mr. Balachandras residence Ground floor of Total area of 90.5mSQ was analysis based on simulation of natural ventilation method using water table apparatus.Initially the analysis was done in two parameters (southwest, west ) later third parameter was included and analysed (addition of wall in southwest direction ). Through this analysis balachandras residence has its best air movement in west direction. This method of analysis can be used in any design to attain better natural ventilation.

CATENARY BRICK SHELL
The enaction of gravitional force on catenary curves were experimented and studied with bamboo sticks to analyze its structural stability. A 1:1 scaled mock up,using bricks reinforced with steel was constructed.The composure of the curves,either taking the form based on the golden ratio or a circular form were then experimented.The circular form proved to be more efficient of space and program. The erection of the formwork was intense and required atmost precision in dimensions.The challenge was the pipe bending and the details worked out to reassemble it . The three dimensionality of the generated surface was a challenge and various mortar mixes and course arrangements were experimented.
