CONCEPT AND DESIGN PROCESS The concept design of this project was started from question,how can we make a residence joyful and relax so the design revolved around modern simple clubhouse integrated with modern landscape which is the answer to the question.It is not just functional but also aesthetically appealing and soothing,which is blended with the environment and the nature of the urban lifestyle. The backyard space is for relaxing purpose with a swimming pool and an outdoor dine-in space with just a couple of trees.In the front an outdoor seating space with play area for children which can be carefully watch -ed while enjoying a cup of tea in the evening.The moon gate portal and the koi-fish pond are inspired from japanese landscape elements which draws a nice setback to the backgound.All beds and planting areas are irrigated with drip irrigation.Lawn is 25% of plot coverage.Lawn is of cohesive shape without much obstacles in it. and with limited adjacency to concrete surfaces. The trees and plants used in the landscaping purposes are Japanese Maple, Crape Myrtle, Magnolia Dogwood and Sweetgrass. ISOMETRIC SECTION

Continuity and overlapping kingdoms will allow free flow movement and complete culture tour
The complex kingdom is broken to simpler forms with respective functional areas
Open endness with a central focus which channelise free flow and avoid looping around
The complex concept is minimised inside each kingdom with dedicated functional areas
The main integral ideology behind this design is to create an active hub where people can enjoy, recreate and relax and in this process also learn and spread the culture. Relatibility of the space is most important for the space to b dynamic and active which is generally lost in huge spaces.Factors like connection, free flow, continuity,inter-linkingflexibility,visual connectedness,overlapping character etc are considered for developing the concept.

PARAMETRIC LIGHT FIXTURE
Falling Crystals A Parametric light fixture with perforations that can vary acording to our requirement for light dispersion.
Concept
The form has been inspired from stalagmites, the irregularity is similar to the stalagmite formations which protrude in different directions.This can help us in creating interesting flow of light path which in turn gives us varying patterns and shapes as the light passes through it.

VARIATION IN TRIANGULAR DIMENSION
Form development A hexagon can be formed by six equilateral triangles . The upper equilateral triangles are of the same dimension wheareas the dimension varies at the base.Hence protruding these trianglular frames in both y axis and z axis leads to the formation of this structure. Each triangular frame is truncated at 45 degree.

AN INSIGHT TO THE LAND OF KHASI
An Insight to the Land of the Khasi The main objective ofthe study was to find out in details about the settlement pattern, dwelling unit details and the socio-cultural life of a tribal group. In order to understand people, architects need to explore different socio cultural lives and their means of living. It is important to understand the adaptations to the environment and the variety in building form accordingly. Hence this case study enabled us to acquire knowledge about the settlement typology and the way ofliving, of a very primitive group, “the Khasi tribe” living on the foothills of the Khasi hills in Meghalaya. Architecture is omnipresent, proved by most tribal groups , as they have their own architectural tricks and treats without knowing the “A” of Architecture.
15
Location The case study was conducted in Mawlynnong, located 90 km from Shillong in East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya, along the India-Bangladesh border. It is It is a two hourjourney from Shillong on road. Mawlynnong is the cleanest village in Asia and is inhabited by around 500 Khasis who live in the lap ofnature. Settlement Pattern The houses in Mawlynnong are built on a sloped hilly terrain. The houses are scattered on either sides of cemented pathways that run across the entire village. There is no planned settlement pattern, howeverthe housing can be defined as a nucleated. Though the dwelling units seemed to be heavily clustered, there is enough offset around each house for proper circulation. Since the houses are built on a slope, many of them are accessed by stone steps. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Khasmaâ&#x20AC;? River is the focal point of the village. The river is situated close to the village but does not exactly run through it. Housing Typology The houses are all rectangular or square in shape with an outdoor extension in the rear end for washing utensils. This extension is a part ofthe floorplan without walls extending to the ceiling. The walls were up to a height of 900-1000mm with an open space so that the utensils could be dried. The design is completely material based. However the entrances to some of the houses face East to receive the morning Sun.
16
Building Material
The house is mostly built of bamboo and bamboo derivatives. The basic structure is built of bamboo posts tied together with bamboo strings. Stone is used in the foundation. The walls are made up of bamboo leaf mats. A portion of the wall is insulated with bamboo leaves. Wood is used for doors and windows. A part of the flooring is done with bamboos as well.
Foundation
Most of the houses are built on a slope. The stone foundation are placed in different heights, with higher stone blocks at the rear and shorter stone blocks near the entrance of the house. The difference in heights of the stone foundation provides a plane surface for flooring. The highest stone block measures 800mm and the lowest near the entrance measures 450mm.
Roofing
The roof is a thatched roof with a primary bamboo framework. Then they have a layer of hay stacked on the bamboo framework over which the tin corrugated sheets are placed. the sides and finally corrugated tin sheets on the top. They have long eaves supported by bamboos that are attached to the framework ofthe walls.

CASE STUDY ON
POTTERS VILLAGE
The site comprises of temporarily shaded work spaces connected accordingly to the basis oftheirwork. The workshop includes allthe required spaces of work along with the residential spaces for the workers and their families. It is important that the local craftsmen live together as a family in order to produce such extraordinary artifacts, which is a product of immense concentration,patience and dedication. Site arrangement shows interconnected work-spaces and the placements are at different levels (the site is steep). The loading and unloading space is at the same level so as to ease work. The space for the larger workshop is 9 x 4.2 m.
CARVING PROCESS 1)Crude stone is cut into blocks. 2)Dressing of stone is done . 3)The dressed stone is cut according to the size required for the design. (tracing is done according to the printed designs). 4)Preliminary shape of the desired sculpture is given to the dressed stone.
18
The Potter’s village is in Basantpur, 12km away from Bhubaneswar. Originally the entire settlement was a pottery village. Migration and the changing economy forced many families to move away from their traditional occupation. The few families that remain form a close knit community. They together own two kilns that can be used by anyone of the community. The process of making pottery takes time, hard work and skill. The clay is made malleable and the potter gives it shape on a potter's wheel. The vessel once formed is left to dry for several days, after which it is fired in the kiln. The dimensions of the vernacular kiln are as follows:Kiln – (6.6x3.1) m Furnace dia – 2.7m; Outer space (for drying) – (3.3x3) m; Inner Workshop – (5.2x3) m; Houses are arranged linearly forming an alley, where the entrance to the house faces the main road and the workshop is located at the backyard opening to the back alley. A single coal-fired furnace provides heat to two chambers. where copper and brass is fused into irregular bronze disks. These are given shape by 3 men, who continuously beat the crude bowl while a 4th man rotates it. If the bowl cools before the desired shape is achieved, it is re-heated in the kiln. The cycle continues till a perfect bowl is formed. Successive bowls are made using the first as a mould. After 7-8 bowls have been made, they are cooled. The charred layer is scraped and the bowls are polished with a chisel. Separate spaces for silica works are used. Measurements – workspace – [8.5 x (2.2+1.5)] m houses – (12 x 200) ft.T
