BRIEF The plaza is a place where all the pavilions,countries and the whole expo binds together. This is the sector or part of the expo which puts forth the whole expo which recommended the volume to be noteworthy and grand in itself. But it did not mean going out of the way it also meant bringing it altogether. The plaza needed to be inclusive of all of it. The space was designed to give an open feeling to the visitor. It should also be connecting to the whole expo and not an isolated structure. The 360 degree glass facade connects it no to the surrounding. The interiors were planned keeping the thought of openness in mind and trying to negate and make the visual barrier between the plaza and the overall EXPO. The same was brought into design through provision of 360° glass facade which can be seen in the sketches to the right. The noticeable feature of such arrangement would be that there would be provisions of small scale models of the pavilions kept inside the plaza and a person can see its real life stru structure through the glass. This would give a particular a small glance at the pavilions that follows and make someone more interested to see it actual construction. The main issue that would rise during this process would be the unplanned provision of harsh sunlight in the structure which was tackle using tempered cold bent glass.

BRIEF This was a try to bring traditions of Sawantwadi town to light, and explore up the tourist halt experience beyond anyones imaginations. SAWANTWADI, a town settled in sindhudurg district lies in the Konkan patta and shares border with Maharashtra and Goa. The town is well connected to goa and belgaum providing it with a lot of local as well as national tourism. The national highway 10 km away from the town provides it with a direct connection to Goa. SAWANTWADI has a very rich cultural background . Their handicrafts in wooden toys are famous all over the country. Another well preserved craft of the town is the Ganjifa art. The art form of playing cards is local to this town . These games Were introduced to the town in the 18th and 19 century. Today these arts are reduced to mere collection and display pieces and can be noticed in some museums.While some part of the town population still strives to preserve and pass on these art forms to the future generation. When the new Mumbai-Goa highway was built the access was made easier but the town was robbed of its tourism and which eventually led to decrease in artworks as people moved on to new professions in order to survive. This highway halt project tries to provide some exposure to the artisans of the town and also give them an economic boost. It also tries to break the typical boundaries of highway halts and provide an inclusive experience where tourists are exposed to the SAWANTWADI culture and are also given an opportunity to participate in it and know the culture from the roots.

BRIEF This project was a perfect opportunity to explore details, technicalities and design philosophies of a campus project. The site was located in the outskirts of pune city with potential of an upcoming suburb. This meant we had to design and we had to look beyond time. We had to keep in mind that the design should not only blend with the environment but also withstand the test of time as the future developments happen. Another major factor guiding the project was the end users. An The user group consisted of people beyond the age of 45. We had to keep in mind the requirements of all such people. As people age their perspective towards the world changes and evolves. Their deﬁnition of comfort and amenities also changes. We also had to give a thought to the accessibility aspect. The whole campus had to be easily and universally accessible. One thing that required keen attention was the social ingredient of the exploration. People tend to feel lonely with time and age. We had to design spaces which would encourage them to take part in social gathering and interact with diﬀerent people creating a healthy and mostly happy living environment .

BASE PLAN CONCEPT The concept for form derivation was from biomimicry of PENGUINS. Penguins exhibit a characteristic where they bond with only one other penguin throughout their life span. This promotes a healthy family environment in the roorkee/colony.

Client : Minesi Medicity Location : Vrindavan

BRIEF The major project that I dealt with during the internship tenure was the hospital named MINESI MEDICITY. The formula in directing the design process were the services that go along. It was necessary to keep the aesthetics, comfort and services intact while formulating it. - Another aspect that I learnt through the project was to operate with STRUCTURAL and M.E.P consultant . It gets tricky when the project updates in regards with the client and the structural and services design needs to be updates accordingly. - Here we kept all these factors intact while trying to keep the parametric facade design approach parallel to it.

WORKSHOPS The firm also had a educational side to it known as EQUIM-Education, which conducted many workshops and courses dealing with parametric form finding, conceptual designing and fluid architecture. During my intern period I was actively involved with prwparation and handling of 2 such workshops named Digital Art Movement and Parametrized. Both the workshops taught the participants conceptual form finding and parametric architecture.

COMPETITIONS AND CERTIFICATES THE KNOWLEDGE BOX

The one who possesses proper knowledge should conquer whatever they will. The project was an eﬀort to make the most desired treasure, knowledge, easily accessible to everyone, regardless of their caste, gender, religion or colour.

THE HATKE DESIGN Sometimes it's not about the ﬂoor, it's about the views. The Task was here was to design an elevator keeping in mind the environmental, mechanical and accessibility aspects of a lift. But we also had to design something which would make a traveller appreciate even these smaller aspects of the construction industry.

NON-URBAN DESIGN Architecture and culture are like trees. You can never grow up unless your roots are deeply embeded. The projecttries to rejuvinate the traditional ﬁshing lifestyle while keeping in mind the eﬀects of climate change on marine life and how we can try to change the scenario while having a sensitive approach towards the environment.

DIGITAL ART MOVEMENT(D.A.M) The workshop focused on learning and processing Design (Architectural to product scale) inspired by the workﬂow of international design legends. It also includes an integrated design competition.

BRIEF As the future dawns upon us the human race is provided with new challenges daily but this also comes with a silver lining of opportunities. The sheer amount of research data that is radical yet true creates the base for the curiosity of the project. Furthermore, the challenges needed to be tackled and the exponential technological advancement that the social race does creates a firm foundation for the same. And by the end of it to even have such a plausible hope for the imagined future, provides enough motivation to take up such a topic and turn it into a practical Architectural Thesis Project. A self-sustaining martian habitat has 2 faces to it. One that caters to the technical and research aspect of it and the other that deals with psychological entities. This thesis tries to identify both the variables and tries to fit them into an equation and produce the most efficient results from the same. While doing all of this one of the other major affecting factors was travel and transportation. Which was one of the main concerns as we were stepping into a territory which is never been physically explored. The availability of resources was also taken care of through the design process which made the design fe feasible. -Aim To design the most probable initial habitat which will keep the foundation stone for the future of humans as Martians. -Objectives To create a thread between the past and running research and generate a more practical approach towards human interaction with the martian land and colony. -Scope The human race has always been progressing and evolving exponentially. One of the main reasons for us to take such leas has been the curious nature of humans to explore uncharted territories and survive in unbelievable situations. This project tries to explore the extraterrestrial zones and establish a colony on Mars.

WHY?

The human race uses natural resources to live, work, operate anr prosper. However, the growing rate of world populationn has made it inevitable to decrease the impact that we are leaving behind. Currently, the natural reserves are depleting at the exclaiming rate of 160 %, which eventually means that we are using resources of 1.7 Earths. So, unless the scenario changes, we might just need 3 earths by the year 2030.

GLOBAL STOCK CHECK AND GROWING POPULATION What is Global Carbon Budget ? A global carbon budget determines the input of CO2 to the atmosphere by emissions from human activities, balanced by output (storage) in the carbon reservoirs on land or in the ocean. How much Budget do we have left? We have nearly 400Gt left till the global temprature reaches 1.5 C, as the carbon emission increase so does the global temprature. How does G.B.C aﬀect us?

Conclusion ? Earth leads to certain drought state by the next century, while humans orcastrate their own death. As an intelligent species we still have some ways to make sure of our existance.

Plan The initial thought for form ﬁnding was to look into nature of things and ﬁgure out a solution that already exists. During the procss if we look at the outline of the project we are trying to take a home for ouyrselves in another zone just like a turtle. I considered LOGGERBACK turtle. As a sea turtle it carries its home where ever it goes but it also demonstrated a quality of construction. As the animal faces strong water currents the shell is designed such that the front is thicker and the rear end is streamlined. The structure also need to replicate this quality in order to face the winds generated at the base of the crater. The structure was further modulated in order to make maximum use of the winds coming in. While doing all of this the technical elements are also to be kept in mind as they will also be working ke as design guides for the intervention.

WHAT CAN MARS OFFER ? There are plenty of reasons why humans have reluctantly looked at mars as our beacon of hope or a second home as the planet has plenty of oﬀerings like - Plenty of carbon presence - Plenty of oxygen presence - Water in form of ice - Metallic resources - Good daylight cycle - Plant safe radiation - Solar and Wind energy - Geothermal Energy

But we also have to take into consideration that there are always 2 sides to a coin. Whilst the planet provides opportunities it also comes with challenges like - No human safe radiation - Atmospheric pressure diﬀerence - Change in gravity - Temperature - No breathable air - Ready to use water not available

COMPARATIVES BETWEEN EARTH AND MARS

As we start shortlisting on one particular planet it becomes essential to understand the differences between our current living environment and the one that we need to tackle. This comparative study shows that the major factor affecting our lifestyle during the whole process would be the fluctuation of gravity and atmospheric pressure. This eventually results in defects like lower muscle and bone density which might result in physical or medical sickness. So it has to be kept in mind that such medical issues are also to be dealt with through the design intervention.

METHODOLOGY - The basic ideology behind the process was to connect and bring down the essentials of survial to one entity in current existance. The main trunk of one such tree here was oxygen. All the branches necesasry in terms of resources, materials, food supply, et. was connected with oxygen. It was taken into consideration how do we use the biproducts of all these processes as raw material and build further on it. As we connect all these dots to the technology that currently exists, we take the project one step closer to reality than just a radical idea. LITERATURE REVIEW A NOVEL MATERIAL FOR INSITUCONSTRUCTION ON MARS: EXPERIMENTS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS In conclusion, the developed sulfur based Martian Concrete is feasible for construction on Mars for its easy handling, fast curing, high strength, recyclability, and adaptability in dry and cold environments. Sulfur is abundant on Martian surface and Martian regolith simulant is found to have well graded particle size distribution to ensure high strength mix. Both the atmospheric pressure and temperature range on Mars are adequate for hosting sulfur concrete structures. The Minimum Viable Population for human race is 160 people. The repopulating humans should be of age less than 40 for maximum lifespans. Out of 160 there should be 49 pairs, i.e 96 people out of 160. Who should be fertile as they start the colony. Other 62 people can be free population, with just the age limit of 40. Due to such scenario the Residential accommodations proposed should be ﬂexible. The ﬁrst colony will have to go through monitored reproductional process in order to sustain the population. Through the paper it can be inferred that the future of martian construction is martian concrete, which is produced through regolith(martian soil) treatment and by adding external materials. In order to survive, humans would have to depend on intelligent robots for pre landing construction. One of the points to be kept in mind is the production and storage of energy.

SITE SELECTION The primary factors affecting the selection of landing site are oxygen, hydrogen, water and rocket propellent. As we have known from the recorded data, the Red planet shows signs of undergroundand frozen water pools. Even in the driest parts lying near the equator. The presence of such resources helps us solve problems for oxygen production and also with rocket propellent production. Another major problem that needs to be addressed with is radiation shielding. On earth electro magnetic field and the atmospheric envelope helps us with solar radiation. Where as, MARS has no magnetic field and very thin atmospheric layer. This is one of the reasons that affects the site selection.

SECTION AA 69

SITE SELECTION

CRITERION While choosing the site many important factors were to be kept in mind as the space where the project stands has never been explored before. Some of these factors were as follows -

©NASA

- Below and above 40 degrees north and south is considered to be too cool for human settlement. - Those 2 criteria narrow down the location to a band between the equator and 40 degrees. - The northern hemisphere of Mars is dominated by largely low terrain that used to be an ocean of liquid water. For this reason, the north is considered to have the highest water concentration. - Should be near the water source, Which can be used for the production of oxygen, and hydrogen in turn can be used for rocket fuel production. - Low altitude for maximum atmospheric pressure. - Possibilities for frozen water. - Possibilities of geothermal pools. - Low risk of dust storms. - Flatness for accessibility. (Landing possibilities) - Better Radiation shielding.

CANDIDATES Medusa fossae Formation -The wind marks point that the site may be covered by some kind of soft layer which would aid us with the provision of Building Material. -Not much is known about the surface and sub-surface levels. - The site lays further away from the equator which makes the temprature even colder and harder to sustain. Medusa Fossae Formation

Vallies Marines -Studies point that there may be spring-like deposits running beneath the deep canyon, where groundwater could burst onto the surface. -Ideal for sourcing water and microbial life study. -Low altitude provides better radiation shielding. -Very hard considering the landing aspect of the exploration.

GALE CRATER Sometimes it's better to stick with what you know. Sure, there's a lot we're yet to learn about Mars, but when it comes to sending humans to its surface some travel advice is better than none. In the few short years since NASA's Curiosity rover touched down inside this 154 km (96 mi) wide basin, it has found evidence of water and an ancient freshwater lake, analyzed valuable samples of soil, sent back weather analy reports and snapped spectacular selﬁes along the way. So if we do decide to make the Gale Crater our ﬁrst Martian home, the fact that we've already got some idea of what to expect makes it as good a choice as any.

The gale crater eventually ticks all the pointers necessary for the survival and construction of the ﬁrst space base. ANALYSIS Whilst doing site analysis it was also important to look around the context of the site. As we study the site of Gale crater the major physical and geographical entities that exist around the site are 1 - Aeolis Mons - Mount Sharp 2 - Pancake Delta 3 - Dolce vallis 4 - Peace vallis 5 - Farah Vallis 6 - Farah Vallis Delta 7 - Duke Delta Elevational map GALE CRATER©NASA

Site distance from the peak of mt. aeolis is 100 km and 50 kms from crater edge.

- The part of the site which was selected for execution is located in the lowermost part of the crater, hence providing easier access to frozen ice and regolith. - Another factor to be considered is the sun path and the wind direction in order to generate maximum electrical output from the same.

KILO NUCLEAR POWER REACTOR Kilopower is an experimental project aimed at producing new nuclear reactors for space travel. The project started in October 2015, led by NASA and the DoE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). As of 2017, the Kilopower reactors were intended to come in four sizes, able to produce from one to ten kilowatts of electrical power pow (1-10 kWe) continuously for twelve to ﬁfteen years. The ﬁssion reactor uses uranium-235 to generate heat that is carried to the Stirling converters with passive sodium heat pipes. In 2018, positive test results for the Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology (KRUSTY) demonstration reactor were announced.

RESIDING HABITAT UNIT The individual units were designed keeping psychological and physical well being of the users in mind. An eﬀort was made to give an access to a recreational zone in order to create an earthly feeling The spaces were placed considering the amount of the time a person would apend in a particular area. The spaces like Bedroom, Rest areas and living spaces were placed in the lower part of the unitas the exposure to radiation for longer time can be hazardous to the human body. The tower was shaped in order to generate a vantage point from the upper portion of the unit givint a geographical advantage to the users. The spaces where a peson would spend least time like the oﬃce or restrom or labs were strategically placed in the upper portion of the unit.
