MAsTER PLAN

THE BAY PRECINCT Sydney, Australia Graduation research studio Academic Group work of five Semester 2

My role_ Researched about basics of sustainable city principles and Development Control Plans(DCP), Involved in initial conceptual design and incorporated design principles like_ • flexible green space • a walkable city • green buildings • transport system • food systems • economic development • green infrastructure • community potential My learnings_ The conscious interplay between natural and cultural systems in making authentic and sustainable cities. The temporal and political nature of cities and urban design in a social democracy. The role of the designer as a critical participant in the process of urban renewal, who has the training, skills and capacity to advocate and illustrate a compelling alternative future for places.

Research Question

HOw

MIGHT THE ADApTIVE REusE

OF THE sILOs CREATE A GLObAL TOuRIsT ATTRACTION FOR EVERYONE IN sYDNEY? Sydney is an iconic destination for tourism and yet the only existing tourist information centre provided for visitors is a 50sqm outlet in the Rocks. This design gives new life to industrial remnants as a major attraction for everyone in Sydney.

THE

AusTRALIAN DREAM

Redfern, Sydney, Australia Housing studio Academic Individual work Semester 4

My learnings_ Better local understanding and approach to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing crisis. Explore how we can optimise the domestic space and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience. Apartment development as an increasingly important driver of economic and investment activity. The right illustration _condition after increment The left illustration _condition before increment

• Design is developed on a more permanent approach of living with incremental housing and intergenerational living to acknowledge “Reframing the Australian Dream” • Proposing the architecture that solves problems by designing for a community.

BIOMIMETIC DESIGN

• •

The major focus is on biomimetic design inspired by honey comb and step well of India. The hexagon is used as one module which gives more light and less overshadow to the existing module.

Housing Church

Existing church and proposed housing connected by outdoor cafe which leads to a connection between Elizabeth lane to Elizabeth street. The lane connection which opens in court of vegetable garden and temporary activity area serve as an intergenerational activity. The plan suggest the simple segregation from right to left- public semi-public private.

Three materials used in its pure form reffering to brutalism. Clay brick finish_ Used on the ground floor to refer the heritage value of adjoining church. Metal louvers_ Used as an opening of incremented modules. Concrete_ Used as primary unit construction material, coloured on balcony as per type.

Sydney, Australia High performance studio Academic Individual work Semester 1

My learnings_ Understood a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning context and strategic ambition for the site within its broader context. Undertaken an iterative concept design process testing how various design strategies impact on the existing urban character in terms of scale, built form and materiality. Resolved internal planning to ensure multiple uses are well integrated. Developed strategies for structural design and environmentally sustainable building services appropriate to super towers. Analise day light and comfort in office environment and resolved indoor comfort by facade design

One diagrid covers eight floor, with varying thickness from 1.5m to 0.7m. To balance indoor air quality compressed fibre cement panels used, which create unique facade pattern and blocks maximum on west side and minimum on north.

Chembur, Mumbai, India Professional practice group work

The project proposal include 38 acre masterplan with residential sales towers and rehab towers, divided in two phase, which gave me benefit of working on a masterplan in my internship and DA drawings of phase 1 as a junior architect. The residential sales towers of 170 to 210m include 4bed, 3bed, 2.5 bed and a studio apartments. My learnings_ Integrated design by coordination with consultants Involved in DA drawings and developed details with team Facade design and three dimensional modelling

LODHA SCHOOL Thane, Mumbai, India Professional practice group work

The school proposal included 75 classrooms with Laboratory, other sports activity with 9700 sqm of total builtup. It had my major involvement from initial area calculation and study of Floor space ratio to construction drawings for approval and design details. My learnings_ Site analysis and site studies. Floor space ratio calculation and program for the design. Construction drawings for approval. Services coordination.
