CURRICULUM V I T A E KHUSH ANAND GUPTA DOB: 28/10/1999

Experimenting and exploring is the way forward in life and in architecture. I feel there is always a need to change and adapt as change is the only constant. “The problem with planing is that, by the time the vision is realized the concept on which the vision began would have changed”. So therefore for me designing and planning are everlasting processes that only stop when the designer wants them to but never end.

INTERSTACKED Studio Guides: Ar. Sagar Gupta, Prof. Sobia Hussain, Ar Swati Singh Co-Designed with Shrey Gupta BRIEF: Interstacked is an attempt towards a newer and more user friendly residential habitat which draws from the famous ‘Habitat 67’. The aim was to give Indore an identity and a green way of living.

Location: INDORE

QR Code for a Walk through of the site.

Significance of Mill Area Centrally located in Indore the site has historical significance for its users because of the closed mills around the site. It is well connected to both, the old city and the new city. These factors make this an important site at the city level.

NARRATIVE What do the users need? Referring to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the users of this site look for a community based living where all their basic physiological needs of food, water, and shelter can be met without burning a hole through their pocket since financial stability is of utmost importance to them. A model can be proposed where different types of users can be created so that they can support each other. A typology where the owners and the workers live together. Inclusivity and Exclusivity Spaces such as public bazaars, street food stalls, and markets can be provided in the habitat. These are free from man-made human class barriers and can promote an healthy exclusive environment. The Aim. Taking cues from the site context, the major portion of the habitat would cater to the people around the industrial mill area. These can be both the workers and the owners. Furthermore, the mill area is a centrally located site in Indore is as much in interest for the more financially stable as it is for the mill workers. Hence, the provision of larger housing for these users would also help in creating a symbiotic relationship between the users. The proposed habitat would fulfil all the basic requirements of the users. Multiple employment opportunities would be created within the habitat where one group supports the other in different ways.

Terrace gardens are provided to encourage user interaction so that it is not just limited to the ground level but also on every floor of the building. These spaces can also be used as common gathering spaces for day to day events such as for movies or sports screenings, discussion centres or can be used to play games.

Almost equal in volume, the voids act as niches of relief from the otherwise built units. In time, these voids and terraces would form the basis of a strong community living while completely being in sync with the existing living lifestyle of Indore.

Fire Exit Staircase User movement Towards common Terraces

By including terraces and greens extensively both on the site and on the built structure, the design allows all user groups to engage with the environment. Therefore, it creates a lasting relationship between nature and mankind making the project Ecologically sustainable.

Idea of Steel Framework

STRUCTURAL FRAMEWORK

For such a form, the construction would be done in steel with steel I-section beams running across the floor plate forming a mesh to hold the structure. The walls of the units would be made of prefabricated concrete walls and units would be assembled on site. Along with the steel framework, steel box columns would transfer the load from the floor above to the floor below.

There would be three types of columns

An inclusive approach towards design allowing social integration of all classes of people living on the site. With no boundaries between zones, the site is equally accessible and unbiased towards all user groups making it socially feasible.

The unique design offers such terraces for one to enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Serene and shaded walkways provided for a better experience allover the site.

The built also comprises of a bustling commercial hub designed to cater the inhabitants of ‘INTERSTACKED’ and the people of Indore. The commercial hub consists of both permanent and temporary hawker based shops reflecting Indore’s prevalent night bazaar type commercial.

Such a Dynamic commercial hub will invite the city into the site and help the project establish itself as an icon in Indore.

Year 2020

THE TWISTED LOO Rethinking Public Toilets 2020 Volume Zero Competitions Co-Designed with Raadhya Patwari

Located In Connaught place, which is the heart of new Delhi. The wash room cum library has the potential to be replicated in each block of Connaught Place and similar urban scenarios as a new typology of public wash rooms which are more interactive and useful.

Intention. The concept revolves around conceiving the whole building as a street furniture having a primary function of a public washroom incorporating a library with a lot of outdoor seating. Such a structure presents the opportunity for the people to interact with the building. The seats are a part of the design itself. This enables people to have a rest spot in a Crowded marketplace. The privacy of the washroom and the public Nature of the open library don’t disturb each other, while Enabling people to avail an opportunity to exchange books As well as ideas, and helps people gain a new perspective to a public washroom and the potential it holds.

Plan The interactive nature of the Library can be seen with the open and welcoming folds of the structure.

00 1 2

Section The section showcases various parts of the built which include the handicapped washroom, Male and Female washroom and the tiny Library.

The washroom has individual male-female and handicapped spaces along with a unisex stall which helps in maintaining comfort of the people, this is done keeping in mind the cultural context of India.

Year 2020 Semester 7 Hybrid Building Studio

BIFROST Studio Guides: Ar. Puneet Khanna and Ar. Madhur Prakash. Co-Designed with Shrey Gupta BRIEF: Taking cues from the concept of temporal architecture and the well known example of the ‘walking city’ by Archigram, Bifrost sees itself as a conceptual futuristic hyper city where one building can perform all functions of a city through modules Which follow the Voronoi geometry.

Ideation Great cities all over the world have been defined by their public spaces. This painting (left) is an attempt to perceive the feeling of public spaces. One can call it a hot pot of all public activities. Which together are represented in the swirls and curls of this painting.

Programmatic Mix The diagram (left) shows the various functions and their placements throughout the building depicting their relationship with each other with the hot pot of public spaces behind it.

Conceptual Sketches

Approach Voronoi pattern is repeatedly used in nature to create everlasting designs. The same can be used to create a building which has the capability to grow when the need arises. Making the building more responsive and interactive just like a tree which is home to smaller creatures.

INTRODUCTION. The notion of dystopia has been a part of people’s imagination for generations. Mankind has imagined and dreamed of perfect places and societies to be in. Therefore, the shape and visuals of a ‘utopic land’ is something that has always been a part of our imagination and because we have fascinated ourselves with the thought of a perfect world we have also been equally fascinated about the landscapes of its complete opposite – dystopic worlds. In the creative disciplines like art, literature, graphic novels, and film, dystopia has been explored in much greater detail than utopia. From Gothic novels to apocalyptic films, the idea of dystopia has been imaginatively explored in philosophical, literary, visual, and cinematic dimensions, which together provide a landscape in which dystopic societies reside.

RESEARCH QUESTION. What are the architectural elements which act as signifier for the changing times and society and may lead to an or may reflect a dystopian future or an idea? OBJECTIVES: Developing an analysis of selected movies and cross referencing their relativity to the real life art and political movements during their time of inception. Also investigating and studying selected films to identify the dystopic influencing agents in the films and tracing their source. Finally identifying the architectural features and types that are commonly used to picture dystopic films. CONCLUSION Broadly dystopias can be divided into two extremes one being stark and totalitarian which is dominating in a very direct way like the one described in A Clockwork Orange and Equilibrium. This Architecture of this dystopia is stark and lacks any expression of individual rather focusses on the masses. This architecture often finds itself inspired by the neoclassical era and is often rooted into our past and takes inspiration from real life fascist regimes. The other dystopia is chaotic and out of control. It represents the unchecked human vices taken to its extreme like in the films Metropolis and Blade runner. Where the world isn’t governed by a militaristic dictatorship rather is ruled through money and filed by greed. It’s a future where every desire has to be met and this is represented in the architecture of this dystopia as well. The buildings in blade Runner and as well as Metropolis incorporate all styles one could think off blurring the line between what existed and
