Weaving together, threads of the past

PUBLIC REALM ANALYSIS

URBAN HUBS IN SOUTH MUMBAI

This project involves the adaptive reuse of the derelict textile mills in the city of Mumbai. The design provides a proposal for the use of these vast pieces of land left untouched in a city where land is a scarce commodity.

Oval Maidan Prince of Whales Mueseum Gateway of India

The first mills began to spring up in central Mumbai, and was named Girangaon- or mill village Bombay spinning and weaving company-first textile mill setup in 1851

Colaba Causeway Sassoon Docks art project

LOCATION Tardeo,Byculla, Lower Parel and Dadar

MILLS PEAKED BETWEEN 1876-1925

Workers’ wives initiated canteen services markets, sweet shops, pharmacies, flour mills and religious buildings also came up

DECLINE OF THE COTTON MILL ERA

CURRENT TRENDS IN RE-DEVELOPMENT One-third rule

Factors that lead to the decline Competition from powerloom/ other countries. Obsolete technology Increase in raw material prices

Very little area left for parks Mill workers housing- set up Maximum benefit reaped by mill owners and real estate giants MILL WORKERS STRIKE OF 1982 18 month long strike affected over 250000 workers and the overall neighbourhood over 50 mills went on strike

The main aim of the design was to completely separate bus and pedestrian circulation with minimum or no intersections. This was achieved by making the bus circulation loop around projecting spines of pedestrian platforms The Lounge for passengers in the platform area- allows for better accessibility.

PLATFORM FURNITURE

The access to the departure concourse is through a plaza with seating and landscaping . The space allows passengers to pause, relax and interact with people while waiting for the buses

Seating along the platform is provded in the form of bright coloured benches- in red, blue and yellow adding pops of colour in the otherwise neutral landscape of the terminal.

Seating is provided along planters housing landscaping elements to add a touch of nature to the built landscape- bringing relief to the eye.

This not only makes it easily visible, but also adds a layer of colour to the existing background.


Tensile fabric is used for roof, covering the passenger seating area. This provides a shaded spot for people to wait, while enjoying natural light. This helps bring in an element of human scale in the large terminal building. Landscaped area near the taxi parkng area. This Plaza connects the terminal building to the adjoining Commercial block via a pedestrian network. Seating in the form of rounded stone benches is provided for people waiting for their mode of interconnecting transport

SECTION THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE BLOCK AND AUDITORIUM

The objective of this project was to create a college of design, consisting of three departments- Communtication, Fashion and Industrial design. Shared Facilities for all three fields were also providedhousing common workshop areas and a library The main focus of the design is the central deconstructed axis leading to the blocks, culminating as the OAT and central courtyard

The purpose of this course work was to get an introduction to the process of interior design, learn about various materials, surface finishes, fixtures and lighting. A case study of the co- working space- Commune Coworks- gave us an idea as to how various combinations of materials, textures and surfaces could create various themes and moods. The design project involved- the interior design of two new classrooms and studio spaces in our college, barring any modifications to the exterior facade

Designed using light materials- rubber wood and also have soft board finish - functions as a personal pin up board

This surface finish allows students to pin up their sheets almost anywhere through out the studio space- to display work and to discuss and exchange ideas with professors and peers The sliding - folding doors also have the similar finish, to double up as a pin up boards

The pin up boards are fixed with telescopic channels that allow them to be raised and lowered as desired. Sheet rolls Books

Book shelf covered with tainted glass panes to allow partial visibilty from the corridor This partial visibility creates a sense of interest in the passers -by and also helps break the idea of a tycial corridor sandwiched by solid walls on either side The lighting of the corridor is alo improved

PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL

The design concept involves a community based model- in which the patients have thier private living spaces, with facility for family members to reside. The units are connected with green pockets and informal outdoor spaces to allow interaction, and mimic usual residential layouts. Nature has been integrated into the design- in the form of gardens, coutyards, green walls and tree lined pathways to have a relaxing affect on the minds of the patients.

Abhayavana

The objective of this design studio was to design a hospital for the mentally ill, with a 100 bed In Patient Department, Out- Patient Facility with councelling rooms, clinics and an emergency center. The proposed site lies in Nagenhalli, off Dodaballapur road, Yelahanka.

The private wards consist of a bedroom for two, living and separate wash and toilet areas

Informal gathering space THERAPY CENTER The north facade has been treated with vertical garden detailing. Addition of nature to the facadehas a calming effect on the mind and helps relieve stress Private wards

Semi open space connects each of the units The southern facade caters to children spaces, thus employing coloured glass windows, to stimulate young minds

NASA ENTRY I 2015-2016

NARI GANDHI TROPHY

The brief demanded an analysis of the deeper relationships between architecture and culture, with respect to residential architecture. The site - was a traditional weaver’s residence in the temple town of Melkote, in Karnataka. This quaint region- nestled between hills and fields served as the apt choice- in keeping with the demands of the brief- as it is known for the preservation of its rich culture- reflected in its traditional architecture.

The weavers’ houses were all constructed with vernacular materials- such a smud and bamboo for reinforcements. The Jagali- or front portico to the house The attic to the house- used for storage Reinforced by bamboo posts

INTERNSHIP - 1

EXPERIENCE

Toilet 3D

In the field of architecture, I belive that learning is a continuous and endless process. After spending four years in college, I looked forward to my rpofessional training to increase my dimesntions of thought and understanding about architecture and design. For the first semester of my training, I interned at Ace Group Architects, located in Shantinagar, Bangalore. Ace Group is an architectural and interior consultancy company based in Bangalore since 1984. The firm has designed and executed projects ranging from residential, commercial, industrial, institutional to interiors projects all over India including Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Bhubaneshwar, Mysore, Coimbatore, Ooty, Hubli, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Site model of school campus

The work atmosphere at Ace Group is collaberative and informal. The trend of projects during my tenure primarily included school and institution design. My understanding of producing working construction drawings has improved and I’m begining to undertand the nuances of professional life. I hope to contiue this learning process thoughout my career and apply what I have learned and understood in the past.

The plan encompassed - 2 levels of basements, floors from ground to seven and a terrace. Each floor contained rooms for various classes, labs, teacher collaboration rooms as well as the necessary service related spaces, long with a fire safe staircase, and a lift lobby. Individual rooms were connected by common areas- Learning Commons, where children could work together in an informal environment. Decks and outdoor terraces were also provided at intermittent floors.

The elevation design involved a play of light and shadow- introduced by cement fins. The design involved a blanace of proportion and rhythm to create a sense of light play, with a combination of louvers.
