ARCHITECTURE DESIGN ART

Hello! My name is Heli Kothari, and I am a recent graduate from L.S. Raheja School of Architecture. I believe that architecture influences our day-to-day experiences. It becomes good influential intangibility when its users mention their experience of the spaces in their narratives. A good architectural design is a positive amalgamation of both the built environment and the unbuilt. The structure, its users, and the surrounding ecology creates a beautiful harmony when they are knit together to a larger urban fabric. Today, as I understand the climate emergency, my interest and focus lean towards sustainability in architecture and urban planning. I further look forward to giving my contribution towards projects that are consciously designed to have a low impact on the environment. This is well translated into my design dissertation which was an exploration of strategies and techniques for designing a project to be a carbonnegative from execution to demolition stage.

Climate Action X Carbon Negative Architecture Location: Baner, Pune. Final year - Design Dissertation Aim

Inference of the research

The aim is to establish a critical foundation for design thinking, to enable more informed decisions and to make an eco-conscious effort to design responsibly to ease the changing climate by mitigating carbon emissions through design and to achieve an energy positive and carbon negative design, encourage healthy and safe lifestyle and identifying ways to have the least negative impact on the environment.

As we understand the climate crisis of today, it becomes transparent that the imperative of today’s architecture is to mitigate the severity and adapt to the new changing environment.

Operational stage

Raw material and construction stage

MITIGATING CHAOS

Through mitigation, it becomes crucial to reduce the negative impacts of the built environment on the planet. However, reducing carbon emissions from the built environment alone may not solve all the problems of climate crisis, since there are various other sectors involved such as industries, transportation, agriculture, etc.; but it can prove to be the first step towards the global climate action. As a result, it becomes important to reduce carbon emissions from carbon intensive built and unbuilt environments.

The site is located in Baner which is a developing commercial hub of Pune. It is not only well connected to the other parts of the city but also other developing and developed cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, etc. This ensures good connectivity from the site. This region being in a commercial zone, there are many working professionals and entrepreneurs in the area. The site is located in a part of the city where the apartments are at affordable rates. Due to this reason, many students are living in this region in rented apartments on an individual/shared basis. Academics_Mitigating Chaos

The design program will be a mixed use development, including the following: • Co-living spaces • Co-working spaces • Common Recreational spaces

LIVE

Residents can network and establish synergies to help them with their projects, the proposal - in the way it will be designed can influence the number of people having a living and working experience in the proposed design. Co-living and working supports its residents by providing an atmosphere for sharing ideas, knowledge and experiences amongst each other. Community interaction becomes important to achieve sustainable growth and to fight against climate change.

WORK

PLAY

Students – Students from the colleges and universities around will be given dormitory facilities in the co-living space.

Working professionals – professionals from the private software and IT companies around will attract those group for accommodation and working space.

Entrepreneurs – from both start ups and successful businesses come to Pune from other cities for growth.

SECTION THROUGH THE CANTEEN

One of the basic requirements of a co-living space is a space for social engagement amongst the people. This space that allows people to share ideas and values, is often overlooked in more private residential spaces of today. This space acts as a buffer between the private and the public spaces of the site. These spaces are restricted only for people living in the accomodation units of the site.

Material efficiency - The construction typology of the built form is a composite load bearing structure, that uses building materials such as rammed earth and timber floors. Rammed earth will be constructed with the soil extracted from the site as much as possible to reduce the transportation emissions. Timber joists and the excess soil will be transported from outside the site from within 10km of the site. Both timber and rammed earth are bio-degradable and can be re-used for another project/product at the end-oflife of this project. The design intends to have a cradle to cradle approach. Food Efficiency - the food we consume, includes the transportation cost of carbon from farm to homes. For this program, essential food is grown on the site and the roof of the co-living units. This ensures responsible consumerism, as it can provide food to the canteen/ mess and cafeteria.

These are the Life Cycle Assessment calculations of the entire design. The total of embodied and operational carbon adds upto 64660.1kg/kgCO2e. There were some limitation to the detailed information of some materials which have been excluded from the calculations. This figure is offsetted by on-site energy generation and suppling it on the site and to the neighbourhood; and the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere from the trees on the site.

Conclusion Today’s status quo for global carbon emissions through building construction and operation is carbon positive. The drastic impacts of climate change are experienced by the communities that have the least contribution towards the global carbon emissions. Residential and the commercial sectors are the major contributors to the global carbon emissions levels. This is largely due to its mass usage, the present design practice of isolating the structure from its surrounding environment, and the lack of municipal regulations on climate action. This design proposal, after an extensive research, attempts to reduce the carbon footprint of the structure by making use of available natural resources on the site through passive design strategies and maintaining energy efficiency. The scope of reducing the carbon footprint in the overall design ranges from the design and construction stage to the demolition stage. There is a conscious effort made to achieve material efficiency by sourcing local materials and reusing waste materials with innovation, and food efficiency by growing essential food on the site and sourcing local food products, thus reducing the transportation emissions. Rainwater is collected and used, reducing the load on the municipal grids. Waste and wastewater are treated and converted into valuable resources. With the climate emergency on the rise, it is imperative to find out ways and strategies of adaptation and mitigation to design such that it has the least impact on the planet, and to avoid the adversities of climate change. We have one planet, and we have to save it.

THINKING AHEAD: THRIVING AGAINST TURBULENCE High Density Living Location: Sewri, Mumbai Semester 9 - Architectural Design

Timeline Space crunch due to increasing population.

Due to AI and IoT, the regular working hours have reduced and there is a shift in the work culture, people have started working from their homes.

Building typologies are modified to have Live-Work spaces.

Present

2060

Aim: To design a high rise in 2099 catering to a community, while considering the turbulence of AI and IoT and the future prospects of the chose site. The design proposal will have a ‘live-work-play’ function. With advancement of technology in Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, there will be a direct impact on the lifestyles of the people of the future with the way people live and work. With the idea of ‘a city within a city’, there will be grid decarbonisation and energy will be generated on the site. Food will be produced through urban farming. Waste and waste water will be collected and treated on the site. Thus, the proposed design will be self-sustaining. There will be a balance between built and unbuilt.

India’s population could shrink by 300 million in 80 years.

Social Isolation

Development of AI can direct people into social isolation. Hence, there will be a need for spaces that can bring people together to interact with each other.

Technology will get smarter but simultaneously consume a massive amount of energy. This can have negative environmental impacts.

View of a space provided to let nature in on the site

For the structure to be self sufficient, a space for urban farming is provided which supplies inhouse essential food. Farming will also be one of the recreational and learning space where users can also participate in the farming.

View of the ramp - encourages walking and running

With the development of ai of technology, people’s life will get easier compared to the hectic life today that demands physical movements, so we predict that in 2099 there will be health related issues due to that. Hence, a need for spaces to let people engage physically.

The idea of a community structure is the holistic neighbourhood. This results in a new typology which is not just residential but for living. An architecture that includes the complexity of the city. A city on the scale of architecture. All the functions be it residence, working or recreations, everything happens within the structure.

ARTISANS’ VILLAGE Community Cluster Housing Location: Bhuj, Gujarat Semester 4 - Architectural Design

Bhuj is the handicraft centre of India which is located in Gujrat. There are a several handicraft villages around Bhuj which houses thousands of artisans. The objective is to design a cluster of houses which will serve as living and working spaces to the master craftsmen who are currently engaged in making handicraft products and running small scale businesses for their livelihood. The main aim is interconnecting communities. The private and public areas are brought together by introducing semi private activities like workshop area, exhibition hall, seminar hall, shops and markets, this encourages community interaction between the artisans and the visitors.

AWARENESS: A WINDOW TO THE WORLD Community Awareness and Recreation Zone Location: Gorai, Mumbai Semester 5 - Architectural Design

Boardwalk by the mangroves

In the city of Mumbai, the band of green that separates it from the Arabian sea, are the mangroves that are generally been overlooked. But these mangrove forests are home to several species of plants, animals and marine life. They act as a natural barrier against floods, protect the shoreline from soil erosion, and absorb eight times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than any other ecosystems. Large tracts of these forests have been removed as part of land reclamation projects, and many mangroves that remain have become dumping grounds for the city’s garbage.

The project aims at designing an interpretation centre for creating awareness amongst the locals and tourists about the depleating mangroves and dumping ground at the vicinity of the site. The objectives are to conduct a detailed study of the various user groups and understand statistics related to each individual function, and to develop an architectural language that, despite varying user groups and functions, gives a sense of cohesiveness to the project.

There is an elimination of the physical barrier between closed, semi-open and open spaces. The site can be experienced through different levels of the public plaza and the interpretation centre, to overlook different activities happening on the site and become more aware of the things happening around the site and its significance to the area - to understand the link between urban waste landfill and the wetland ecosystem of the city of Mumbai.

Proposed Place-making Interventions

Tactical Construction process require intervention: less time, design intervention will require more time Short-term Requires time to execute the intervention: plan Long-term This intervention goes through intervention: a lots of paper work to execute the design. Documentation_Majjhi Versova

The site has ample open space adjacent to a temple and it is already used as a congregation space. The footfall is very high in this area so number of cycles is given accordingly.

The site has maximum footfall and is closest to the jetty. Stack parking is provided here to spatial issues.

The parking space near the garden allows the residents nearby and the visitors of the church to use the cycles.

Public Bike Sharing (PBS) PBS is a term used for bicycles on a need basis for short trips limited to a particular area without having to own one. The bikes can be used either by an app or by owning a card. The bikes will be geolocated. The users can check out the cycle from any cycle station, at any time of the day, use it do go where ever they want within the permitted radius.

Small scale intervention - space used by hawkers in the evening turned into a PBS bicycle stand.

The abandoned space near the BMC garden caters a parking space for the narrow unmanageable lanes nearby.

In the jetty area, the bike parking is relocated and that space is used for seating and waiting area for 100 people, this is during peak hours along with the PBS stand.

In the market area a plinth is provided for the fisherwomen, as the drain water from the fish can go to the softscape and keep the road clean. There is also seating provided for people.

Pedestrian table top crossing for pedestrian safety and relocation of auto stand as per the roads, for easy access.

At traffic congestion points a table top crossing is designed, table top crossing is an elevated zebra crossing, which catches attention of pedestrians and increase pedestrian safety.

LINE DOT CURVE

Understanding Planes, Volumes and Scales Semester 1 - Allied Design The aim of this allied design project was to create interesting compositions using lines, dots and curves, further protruding this composition to 3D by giving it different volumes, scales and levels and learning about user experiences in their journey from one space to another.

The learnings from this allied design project was how basic elements such as a line, dot and a curve creates interesting compositions and in-between spaces. Bringing it from 2D to a 3D space, playing with its volumes, changes the user experience considerable. Scale, volumes, levels, vantage points, field o and openings play an important role in composing an experience for the user moving around the spaces.

ISOMETRIC VIEW OF THE COMPOSITION

Four 15cm x 15cm composition grids are re-composed in a 30cm x 30cm grid. Through trials these grids are rotated and placed to form interesting and diverse spaces. The spaces between lines, dots and curves later become planes and various levels are introduces with these planes from space to space, maintaining the circulation and introducing pause points within spaces.

EQUINOX [SEPTEMBER 23RD]

The opening towards the windward side is larger and the opening on th opposite is smaller, hence there is a turbulance happening inside the space - it traps the wind inside.

The facade is designed in a way that the interiors are well shaded during harsh sunlight, it also allows natural light to enter.

OTHER SKILLS Zine Design

Heli Kothari_Architectural Portfolio

Zines help me visualize an idea and portray it in the form of illustrations, that I working towards mastering as a form of visual communication. I learn creativity direction by organizing what a zine will cover, what kind of content will be the best communication method to send a required message, and making an idea/my understanding of an idea tangible.

OTHER SKILLS Painting

I love capturing spaces through photography and through paintings. While photography has its limitations, I can get as creative as I like while painting and illustrating. It gives me a sense of freedom in imagining a space or a piece of landscape in both realistic and fictional ways, through both exaggeration and minimalism.

OTHER SKILLS Photography

Heli Kothari_Architectural Portfolio

I value the importance of documenting the places I go, the spaces I experience and learn from, and the people around me. It brings back moments we are experiencing with an instant recap of emotions, which we otherwise tend to forget.

They allow you to re-live certain parts of your life. It makes you sensitive and observant about your surroundings and places, and empathetic towards the people. It makes you notice the details others may be oblivious to wherever you go.
