"Architecture is about the place, rooted in its context and culture." Karan Grover and Associates (formerly known as Grover and Patel Associates) in a 32 year old Indian Architectural practice located in the art capital of Gujarat, Vadodara. The office is located on the 11th floor of Kirti Tower besides the ‘Kirti Mandir’ Temple Complex and overlooking the six hundred crocodiles dwelling on the banks the river Vishwamitri. The firm’s practice reflects the concerns with the heritage and built landscape of India. Its fundamental ideology is not to create an immutable built space, but an environment which showcases the beauty of nature and is also region specific. The design language is people centric and supports the idea of interweaving the use of passive strategies and new technologies together. Ar. Karan Grover, Founding Director of Karan Grover & Associates is the voice of India's rich culture and heritage magnificently elaborated through his passion for architecture. Ar. Karan Grover was the first architect to win the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) "Platinum" Award for the greenest building in the world. He stresses on the need for practicing "Green Architecture" inspiring students and fellow architects, while imparting knowledge on ecological and environmental concerns. Born on 22nd August 1951, Ar. Grover completed his Bachelor of Architecture in 1974 from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda and a Graduate Diploma in 1975 from Architectural Association, London. He is inarguably the most influential green architect and a celebrated one based in Gujarat. He has won accolades in India and internationally. One of the real show stopping recognition of his works was being appointed Permanent Honorary Fellow of the National Academy of Environment at the hands of former President Dr. Abdul Kalam. He single handedly, after a 22-year old campaign, won India the nomination for UNESCO's World Heritage Site status for Champaner. Besides the CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre, Hyderabad, a LEED Platinum rated building by US-GBC. KGA’s key noted projects include the Goa Assembly Building at Porvorim, Goa and District Office Complex at Bagalkot for the Government of Karnataka. Ar.

Uttarayan Foundation Trust
SITE AREA :
2200 m sq
LOCATION :
Jaspur, Vadodara
MATERIAL :
Exposed brick masonry walls and pitched RCC slab cladded with manglore tiles
PROJECT BRIEF :
Uttarayan Art Foundation is a 10 acres of green built environment overlooking the banks of the river Mahi on the outskirts of the art capital of Gujarat, Vadodara. The campus design for the foundation was privately commissioned by Mr. Rakesh Agrawal in the year 2000 and completed by Karan Grover and Associates in the year 2006. It is comprised of a main building to house studios, secondary building blocks for dormitories + cafeteria for the artists, office building, a few service building blocks and an amphitheatre. The foundation serves as a host to multifarious artists from all over the globe ranging from sculptors to digital print media artists. The infinitude of art produced over the years urged to develop a museum for the same. The paucity of funds led to reuse the studio blocks as a museum and to house the studios elsewhere. The architectonic challenge was to develope an entrance gallery which humbly highlighted itself as the featured gallery but never overpowered the existing builtscape. The new entrance gallery would house the featured works and profiles of the artists whose works have been displayed in the museum. Also the new building block has to serve as an architectural design solution to guide one through the existing building blocks which when refurbished were to function as museum galleries built around a courtyard.
WORK DISCRIPTION :
Two design strategies were formulated as a result of rigorous discussions and mockups with the aim of preserving the existing character of spaces and adding a new building block and function at the same time. The deisgn process led to the development of two design iterations for the new entrance gallery in accordance to the understated strategies. 1.The existing lower level courtyard would be taken vertically up in terms of an accessible green roof to enclose a gallery below it and to retain the infinity green view from the verandah of the upper level courtyard. 2. The existing built block would be completed by building around the existing lower level courtyard to preserve the excitement and play of having two stepped courtyards within the built mass. The nature of my involvement in the project consisted of the following stages: 1. Site visits with studio team to formulate the two stated strategies 2. Design mockups and presentation to the studio team headed by Ar. Karan Grover in person 3. Spatial analysis through the means of working models 4. Architectonic traslation of the two stated strategies 5. Producing a complete set of drawings for both options 6. Involvement with consultants to get estimates and bill of quantities 7. Atending client meetings 8. Producing a final set of presentation drawings

King closure cut bricks have been placed alternately on headers and repeated in bands. 13. Brick detail in elevation 14. Brick detail used around windows and for brick pavement. This brick detail has been repeated at every alternate brick bond layer for option 1 to accentuate the emphasis of the entrance gallery. Whereas, the very typical three band pattern has been repeated as it is in option 2 because the 4 metre high retaining walls already give the desired prominence to the built mass.

REFURBISHMENT AND ADAPTIVE REUSE ALEMBIC INDUSTRIES VADODARA
REFURBISHMENT AND ADAPTIVE REUSE ALEMBIC INDUSTRIES VADODARA CLIENT :
Alembic Industries
SITE AREA :
2400 m sq
LOCATION :
Vadodara
MATERIAL :
Masonry with lime plaster
PROJECT BRIEF :
Alembic industries is a 92 acres of industrial campus in the heart of Vadodara established in 1907 and growing ever since. The scope of products manufactured over these years range from Yera glassware to tinctures, spirits, dry ice, ethyl chloride, carbon dioxide etc. However over this span of hundred and ten years various buildings have been rendered useless due to the ever changing nature of industrial production technology. This urged the clients to call for a new master plan for the entire campus which intends to convert it into a corporate hub inclusive of a few office builings, manufacturing units, retail units and recreational facilities. The new master-planning of the campus is being carried out by BDP.Khandekar, an architectural practice from the Netherlands. Also due to the technological advancements the industry campus houses a lot of obsolete machinery which when looked at in a sensitive manner portrays a chronological timeline of Alembic Industries. This notion led the clients to feel the requirement of a museum within the industry campus to display the whole history of the industry. The masterplan marks the building in highlight as a recreational block which includes a museum, artist studios and exhibition area in the first phase of implementation. The further phases of implementation will encompass a restaurant, a gym and a few retail outlets. Mr. Chirayu Amin the owner and co-founder of Alembic industries have commissioned Karan Grover and Associates as the architectural firm for the Alembic Museum, My Space Studios and the further phases of the recreational hub. The functional distribution for the reuse of the building in highlight is as follows: Block1 and Block 2 - Alembic Museum (permanent display) Block 3 - Exhibition for the Studios (temporary display) Block 4 and Block 5- Space Studios
WORK DISCRIPTION :
The nature of my involvement in the ongoing project was to develop a strategy for the reuse of the five building blocks as follows: 1.Preparing a set of renderings according to the first proposal presented to the client. 2.Skylight design proposal in the exiting refurbished trusses of blocks1, 2, 4, and 5. 3.Attending client meetings. 4.Incorporating the changes in the first design proposal in accordance to the client meeting held on 11/05/2017 presided over by Ar. Karan Grover. 5.Site visits with the site engineer for a better understanding of the existing building and to solve onsite problems 6.Interaction with structural consultants for the refurbishment of existing trusses, integrating the new skylight design and developing a steel lintel design for making wall cutouts. 7.Designing the Exhibition Space in Block 3 to be presented in the second proposal. The intent was to develop a spatial distribution for the exhibition space by only providing roofing which was in the character of the other 4 blocks but still marked it as the highlighted space. 8. Involvement in making the bill of quantities 9. Producing a set of presentation drawings according to all the design decisions taken during the period of my internship.

Steel plates bent on site will be inserted from two sides of the wall (in accordance to the cutout markings shown in image 2.10) to make the segmental arch profile openings held in place by holdfasts. 2.9 : The render portrays a view of one of the studios and has been developed with an intent of presenting a material pallet to the client. Glossy white plaster finish on all walls to maximise the display area.Whereas the gable walls are left in exposed brick in reminiscence of the old masonry structure.The floor is matte finished fine cast concrete to tackle the heavy wear and tear of studio spaces and large footfall of the exibition areas. The powder coated black steel lintel band around every opening have been continued around the floor with a black granite skirting to accentuate and harmonise the characteristic architectonic elements.

2.11 2.10 : Site image showing the segmental arch profile marking on the wall to be cutout. The picture was taken during a site visit by the studio team to check the markings for cutouts to create openings. 2.11 : Render portraying the main axis running through the five blocks. The characteristic powder coated black steel band around every opening is an attempt to emphasise the existing thick masonry wall sections and to display the construction process of making wall cutouts. The stark contrast of black and white has been used in architectonic elements (walls and lintel) to highlight the main axis and internal connection of the five blocks.
