Jaalari “A local word meaning fishermen/women” Semester V Designing and Detailing: Resilient Architectural Assemblies Prof. Vickey Achnani Prof. Priyanka Thakur 2020 Project area: 1200 sqm
Fishing villages are the most affected during the cyclones in India. The design intent is to build a resilient building that helps in improving the quality of life of the villagers. The community center becomes a place where people of the fishing community can congregate, celebrate, and perform any leisure activities. The structure can house the community during the cyclone and follows a sustainable approach for it to be culturally present. The materials and their detailing have been resolved such that these techniques can be adopted by the villagers for building their homes.

WHY • Proximity of the site to the fishing village. • Neglected space. • Statistically one of the most hurricane prone areas.
PROBLEM • Frequent Hurricanes. • Lack of proper infrastructure and basic education in the community. • No secondary source of income for the villagers.
OBJECTIVES • Community centre for improving the quality of life of the villagers. • To make the community centre as a tourist attraction spot. • Simple construction techniques for the community to observe and adapt.
PROPOSED SPACES • • • • • •

The Confluence “A situation in which two or more things join or come together” Semester VI Detailing and Communicating Architecture Prof. Sankalpa 2021 Project area: 1000 sqm
The process of the studio involved exploration of details through model making to understand the forces that result in their failure. These details were articulated further in the project to develop an architectural language. The proposal attempts to design a space that connects the inside to the outside and vice versa. The openings towards the street were placed vertically to perceive the spanning system from the outside. The compound wall, which also acts as a sitting space keeps the busy street engaged with the building.
11 Introduction
The tension members are used in the direction of the span forming a closed loop. The members in the centre experience a compressive force due to the outer members. The tension and compression come to an equilibrium and bring the system of modules under tensigrity. The module is further developed by bringing in materials and responding to their limitations. Tension Compression
Developing a module
Rethinking the module by adding materials
Multiplying the module to test its behaviour and to locate the points of failure

Site Plan
The site is situated opposite to the CEPT University, connected to a busy road. The programme brief is to design an artisan workshop which acts as a testing ground for the spanning system and the details developed. The idea is to celebrate the details in the building to educate the students and artisans.

Toogoo Yon-tan “Ladakhi phrase for children’s education” Semester IV Climate Responsive Architecture Prof. Ravi Kashyap Prof. Hiten Chavda 2019 Project area: 10000 sqm
The demand of the studio is to design building by analysing the climate of responding to that in a sensitive to achieve a thermally comforting
a school Leh and manner building.
The intent is to design a single mass structure with multiple floors to help cut down the footprint of the building on site and reduce the overall heat loss.

Analysis
Response
Facing the building to SE for preheating.
The central space acts as a focal point that becomes the transition between the two blocks.
Hostel block is tilted toward south to maximize heat gain for the nights.
The diagram shows the movement of users. The circular space radiates towards different blocks.
Strategies
Sun spaces are used to store heat which can be drawn to the adjoining room when needed. 23 Process
Double Glazing helps in retaining heat in a space.
Insulation can be used for surfaces that don’t receive direct heat.
