SPOTLIGHT COVER PAGE - PERSONAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The cover page is a graphical representation of the common denominator seen in all personal design undertakings, a distillation of intimate design philosophy. The identification of the Genius Loci. A design approach which celebrates the existing (often underappreciated) ubiquitous treasures in the context; the essence of the site. I work to give a new life to these forgotten or unacknowledged elements by showing them in a different light. As a result, we come up with a design which, similar to a spotlight, attempts to accentuate what is unique and profound about the context without harsh intervention.

MASTER THESIS - PRAYAGRAJ, INDIA
OBJECTIVE - Design a macro and micro logical order at the Kumbh Mela site, to address its perennial and temporal demands. TYPE - Studio Project (Feb / Jun 2018) SUPERVISOR - Prof. Maria Grazia Folli The project site in question has a plural personality. Firstly, it is the site of the massive Hindu festival of “Kumbh Mela� at Prayagraj in India. The MEGA CITY, which hosts millions of people lasting for a few months every six years. The second is the vacant condition the site remains for the remaining period. Personal experience of this duality, interviewing the locals, the history and literature of Prayagraj shall help uncover the systemic urban issues and the opportunities. Using phenomenology as a driver processing the learnings from the research, we shall propose a solution pushing the architecture from being an inanimate structure to interlocking itself with the myths and rituals and becoming monumental.

TRANSFORMATION The site of the kumbh festival is volatile. Its boundaries change throughout the year. The river Ganga is shallow at this location and shrinks during the dry season, exposing a significant landmass. The site a dual personality: Majority of the year it is vacant and dormant , but during the months of the festival it takes on a vibrant character. The site sees an influx of millions of people in a short duration and temporary infrastructure is set-up to accommodate their needs.

EXISTING SITE
NORMAL SITUATION In the existing situation, the site is reserved for KUMBH festival and remains vacant otherwise. It is unsafe due to the inactivity. This dissuades the access to the river Ganga from this route.
DURING THE FESTIVAL OF KUMBH For the festival the roads are laid, electricity, water and other essential services brought in from the city at great costs. The kumbh site is divided in to sectors before the festival but intra sector planning lacks order and a coherent guide for accessibility and essential services. Which gives poor legibility for navigating the festival.

PROPOSED INTERVENTION
NORMAL SITUATION Analysis of the poems and Indian phenomenology informed the design of a 3 rest spots guiding people to the ‘Sangam’ (confluence of rivers Ganga and Yamuna). A system of permanent structures (nodes) l offering amenities demanded by the city. All three nodes are underground maintaining the existing visual character. Corridors link the nodes and provide an avenue for informal commercial activities. The diminishing ‘Aloki’ forest has been formally acknowledged and made a central void.
DURING THE FESTIVAL OF KUMBH The accessibility network provides a ruler/reference to clearly organise sectors during the festival. The access network is designed to house concealed services having an homogeneous distribution across the site. The combination of the accesses and the point grids creates parallel strips of progression inwards to the central void. This would be refuge within the festival leading from ‘multiplicity to silence’.

MYTH OF THE ‘THIRD’ RIVER Triveni Sangam was, as the name suggests, a confluence of three holy rivers ( Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati). Out of which one is mythical, namely Saraswati. It was fabled to exist until 6000 BC. The only evidence we had of its existence is in the form of an ancient well “Saraswati Kup” located in the fort next to the Sangam*. A study conducted by Dr Sudhir Kr. Srivastava and Dr Prakash discovered the veracity of the existence of Saraswati river by testing the chemical composition of the different water sources in along a paleochannel. We attempt to integrate the myth of the river Saraswati with the ritual of encounter of water in Indian culture and create a monumental encounter with the space.

Calculating the structural feasibility was crucial. We did calculations and simulations for regular structures and for the designs presenting a unique structural challenge. As was the story with the tower. The tower encased the ‘shire’ to the mythical river Saraswati and was just an four sided box with concrete louvers providing shade and housing a staircase just behind the louvers, providing a vantage point at the top.

After structural simulation using MIDAS Gen we discovered failures at the bottom level due large spacing between the louvers. As a result we fine tuned the structure by decreasing the thickness of the fins and increasing the bottom slab band holding all the above fins till we got a stable structure in the simulation.

CONGRUOUS DICHOTOMY THEATER DESIGN - NAUMBURG, GERMANY
OBJECTIVE - Transform an old prison site into a theater complex and use it to reactivate the city. TYPE - Studio Project (Feb / Jun 2018) SUPERVISOR - Prof. Maria Grazia Folli Some insightful findings led to discovery of duality in the character of the city. Naumburg appears dormant and sleepy at the first glance but hides a youthful and energetic side to people who try to explore it. I wanted to infuse this personality in the design. In the proposal, majority of the structure is hidden underground. The visible superstructure attempts to interpret the existing buildings in simple cuboid volumes and does not compete for attention with existing built. It is after the visitors enter the building that the duality is emulated to give a more dynamic geometry. Thus just like the city of Naumburg, on the surface, the intervention looks simple and regular but when explored further, the visitors are greeted with a surprise of energetic and dynamic geometrical composition.

Bei Naumburg im freundlichen Thale Da lieget manch reizender Ort Der schönste doch aber von Allen Das ist mir die Pforte dort.
In the pleasant valleys near Naumburg There are some charming places But really the nicest of all Of them to me is Pforta.
Ich stand einst auf grünender Höhe Vergoldet vom sinkenden Strahl Da wurde mir plötzlich so wehe Als ‘runter ich schaute in’s Thal
I once stood upon verdant hills Gilded by the beams of sunset, As I looked down into the valley, The quiet meadow’s green dress
Es tönte ein lieblich Geläute Und mahnte sanft zur Ruh’ Die Wiese im grünenden Kleide Deckt weißlicher Nebel still zu.
Blanketed with white mist, Suddenly a lovely Tolling sound wafted my way, A gentle reminder to rest.
Die Sterne sie leuchten so helle Sie ziehen in goldener Bahn Wie himlische Wächter von Und blicken friedlich uns an.
The stars shine so bright They draw us into gilded orbit Like guards of heaven Watching us peacefully.
Er herrscher ’ne heilige Stille Und Pforte liegt nebelumwallt Beleuchtet vom düsteren Scheine In geisterhafter Gestalt
They rule in blessed silence And Pforta lies walled in by mist Illuminated by dim lights In spectral shapes.
Ich kann ihn nun nie vergessen Den Eindruck so wunderbar Es zieht mich an selbige Stätte Warum? Das wird mir nicht klar.
I can never forget The wonderful impression this made: Why am I drawn to the same place? That’s something I don’t understand.

Imagining the central plaza complimenting the duality of the new intervention on the left and existing built on the right. The plaza is critical as it connects the two ends of the site. Hence, it is designed as a concatenation of spaces in different scales and textures acting not only as a passage but, as chances of encounter and different views of the city framed by the buildings. The theater entrance is almost hidden giving more reverence to the public domain.

NARRATIVE THROUGH MATERIALS
34
•
For the design of the interior. It was considered to emulate the BIPOLAR personality of the city of Naumburg.
•
The exterior shell having a regular cuboid form had a concrete finish, to have a similar materiality to the existing buildings and signify the dormant and quiet side of the city
•
Once people enter the building the aim is to create a surprise, with a drastic change in material and geometry. Similar to how new visitors to Naumburg experience the city’s plethora of vibrant activities, which is in direct contrast to the dormant & sleepy first impression.
•
Therefore, the internal geometry is steel boxes arranged in dynamic manner showing an energetic and modern look, in contrast with the exterior.
•
It is the choice of a solid material like concrete to create a contrast with an industrial and modern look of steel.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;LIGHTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; FACTORY COMMUNITY CENTER - APPRODO DEI CALIMALI, ITALY OBJECTIVE - To propose a community center for the regeneration of an old factory site and going deeper in construction technology, surveying and structural design. TYPE - Studio Project (Sep / Jan 2017-18) SUPERVISOR - Prof. Gian Luca Brunetti (Construction Technology), Prof. Giocomo Boffi (Structural Design) and Prof. Marco Scaioni (Surveying) The site is located in a natural valley by the river Olona, already frequented by some nearby residents for fishing and canoing. Inspired by the context and history of the site we wanted have shell represent the context and contrasted with the modern and light pods showing a contemporary vision without loosing touch with history. The pods also serve as a double envelope; as soft beads of light in a silhouette of a factory. The green mesh present as an outermost envelope of building aims to diffuse the presence of the pods and further merge the contrasting elements. The design offers minimal obstruction of the natural backdrop of the river and valley.
37

The design was created to be a platform to access the Olona river. The shell was a metaphor for the old factories which used to exist on site (serving as lifelines for the valley). We considered to provide a second shell to be used in winters and flexible to accommodate multi-purpose events held on site. This was an opportunity to express having oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet to the ground and looking to the future. The suspended facade is a translucent mesh filtering light and unifying the whole ensemble.

GTB HOSPITAL NEW DELHI, INDIA OBJECTIVE - To redesign existing GTB (Guru Teg Bahadur) Hospital to accommodate the current and future operational demands. TYPE - PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE (Apr / Mar 2016-17) SUPERVISOR - Amit Gulati (Director, Incubis Consultants) Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital is an 800 bed public hospital and is the second largest public hospital in Delhi with a built-up area of over 0.6 million square feet. The hospital was working at double the capacity for which it was designed. The goal was not just to renovate the existing hospital, but to start with a blank slate and design a tertiary healthcare centre for the expected patient load of 2020. We therefore, took a step back and analysed the inflow of patients, circulation patterns, needs of the patients and staff; along with the basic scrutiny of infrastructure and services. This was done to answer the question of where and by how much did the hospital need to expand.
49
50
*The pictures have been taken by the applicant over a period of 2 months
Since the hospital has seen a sharp increase in the influx of patients and is working at twice the capacity for which it was designed, there has not been a logical and planned growth to accommodate the spate of patients. There is an extensive mismanagement of crowds and lack of facilities and sterility in critical areas. 1. The patients had to get heir own stretcher, the person in the picture had a leg fracture but was carrying his own stretcher, till we helped him. 2. Queuing area for OPD registration. 3. Queuing area for blood collection. 4. Burns ward, has no sterility maintained and hence morbidity is majority due to septicaemia (uncontrolled infection)
