Cultural Melting Pot Farmers market at Guelph, Ontario
Canada has always been a diverse nation. People of all caste, creed, color and nationality are what builds the community of Guelph, Ontario. That said, food is something that brings everyone together and binds us all into a community. The Cultural Melting pot – a Community Farmers Market is a take on how we can create and strengthen a sense of community through Architecture and Food. Through various interactive and reflective spaces that guide towards the central court, varying experiences are created with respect to light and shadow conditions. A gradual sloping mass and arrangement of the structures create an inviting and captivating experience. In respect to the people that have immigrated to Canada a multi-community residential complex is designed to enforce them in the community. This will help generate jobs and create a celebrative, community-oriented environment.

The Market Hall To support the conceptual proposal of cultural melting pot, the pathways are organized in such manner that they all converge towards one central spot – the glass court. Keeping the court as a focus point, all structures form concentric rings with varying density, height and opacity. The market has focused paths with varying heights & visual experiences, acting as connection tunnels from various points in the urban fabric converging towards the glass court. This solidifies the connection of the market and city while bringing more people the market.

Residential Design Diversity driven Guelph, lacks potential residential units in its downtown area. As immigrants would play a vital role in the functioning of this market hall, an all community residential complex is designed along the farmers market. Various size residential units ranging from a studio to a 2-bedroom apartment are proposed to encourage economical as well as cultural diversity. Each alternate level is equipped with open terraces that boost a sense of community amongst the residents.

The Glass Box Wine Tavern at Nandi Hills
As the site is located in a region, rich with vivid views of the Nandi Hills, the main idea whilst designing this project was to give justice to the site. The proposed site has a slope of 42 m through 100 m. Located at the foot hills, the site is on a cultural – heritage route to Nandi Hills. The natural surroundings around the site have been the governing factor in the concept derivation process. A wine tavern or a winery is associated with outdoor experience related activities with an intangible connection to the structure. Because of the 42m slope on site, the structures have been placed along the contours in a semi-linear pattern. All the blocks have been split so as to maintain the balance flow. Though these blocks have an individual identity, certain portions overlap wherever there is an overlap in the activity conducted. The experience I have been trying to achieve in this project is an amalgamation of two major parameters – Undisturbed landscapes & panoramic views.

Undisturbed Landscapes :
Conventional Design System
Elevated Structural Design
The structures have been designed such that only one portion of the structure touches the land. The rest of the structure is elevated and supported through steel columns and cross bracing. The structures are designed with the concept of modular construction. All the structure are in multiples of 15. The structural members are steel I-Sections for columns and beams with precast concrete slabs as infilling walls and floor slabs. Because of modular construction techniques, the structure will be prefabricated and then installed on site, hence keeping the damage to site to a minimum.
Tasting Room & Restaurant The reception, restaurant and the tasting room consists of the tourist block. These are three separate structures connected by a 2 m wide ramp. The tasting room is also connected to the wine museum and is the final destination in all wine tours. The tasting room is higher than rest of the structures and has the best panoramic views. The Screen As the site is situated in Nandi Hills region, the south east faces receive maximum exposure to sunlight and heat radiations, thus a modular screening is provided the south east faces of all structures which can be mechanically controlled throughout the day as per the sun position and requirement. This screen is design using 4� X 6� light weight hollow MS box sections. These are controlled by a hydraulic system. Weathering steel (corten steel) has been used to create a rustic effect to the scheme.
Section B-B
Panoramic Views : The views of Nandi Hills from the site is one of the important features of the site. Hence to enhance this feature, the elevated tasting room with its floor to ceiling glass provides surreal views. This contributed to the experience of the visitor. Aluminum mullions have been used to support this fixed glass. These facades have a screening 1’ away from the structure in corten steel. 2” X 6” Hollow box sections have been used for the vertical slats. These screens are movable as per requirement using a hydraulic system.

Wine Manufacturing Unit The manufacturing unit holds the all the machinery and equipment - Tank rooms, bittling plants, crushing pad, etc. The unit has a seperate administrative building consisting of work pools, cabins and testings labs. The structure is a steel structure with ISMB 600 Columns and primary beams and ISMB 125 as secondary beams. The flooring for this structure is an industrial grade concrete flooring. All the wine tours move inside the manufacturing unit. To maintain safety and controlled tourist movement, the tours moves along an elevated platform with floor to ceiling glass. This alows the viewer access to the manfacturing process while maintaing safety of the visitors. The manufacturing unit has its seperate services. A seperate water tank is situated on the upper most point of the unit.
Section C-C
Private Wine Cabins : For the accommodation needs of the visitors, private cabins have been designed to provide the travelers with utmost privacy and panoramic views. The cabin is a 4.5m X 9m room with toilet, bed room and a reading room with floor to ceiling glass panels. A 2m deck on three sides of the cabin allows the users to enjoy view from all sides. A total of 8 cabins are provided on the upper most part of site so as to maintain privacy. The cabin are divided into 2 zones – 4 cabins in each zone placed opposite to each other. Every 2 cabins have a common outdoor porch with campfire seating arrangement for common gatherings.

Structural Systems The structural system followed in the project is bolted steel construction. Steel members like I-Sections, Angle channels, and C-channels have been used for structural members in place of traditional RCC construction. The in-filing material is precast slab for walls and floor and ceiling slabs. These slabs are available in 1.2 X 7m panels. This structural system allows for longer spans and hence allow various design solutions. According to the concept of undisturbed landscapes, a RCC construction would lead to heavy excavation and delayed construction. As the steel members are pre-fabricated in a factory, they can be assembled and directly installed on site.
The Pittsburgh Eye
The Internet of Things Urban Foundry HQ Just like a drop of water is sufficient to create a revolution with ripples in the still waters, the IOT Urban Foundry will create waves of revolution in the story of Pittsburgh.
As multiple small urban interventions result in the overall development of the city, similarly, multiple unsolved problems result in overall degradation of social and cultural wellbeing of the community. In case of Strip District, a chain of problems is observed resulting into continuously increasing crime rates. It is of most importance that this chain is broken at as many links as possible. To address the issue of increasing crime rates, links such as, uncontrolled flooding, under-developed river banks, unemployment and grey activities must be targeted through urban planning and development. An Urban Foundry for the ‘Internet of Things’ is thus proposed. This unprecedented program will act as an example for the future development of the urban fabric of the city of Pittsburgh.

The Confluence of Knowledge The whirpool effect that is generated at the confluence of the transition nodes, generate a spiral/ helical motion. This motion drives the form development of the IOT building. A continious spiral floor slab is derived from this helical form. This continious floor slab gives the effect of infinite space and allows designing of flexible spaces in between various functions. This infinite space effect, opens out at the top level of the building into the 360 observatory that looks on to the entire city of Pittsburgh.

The Iconic Simplicity
Iconism, being one of the major criteria for design, of this future oriented project, was also a factor that guided the form of the IOT building. Usually iconism is looked at as what stands out differently amongst the norm. This design solution presents iconism in its most valued nature : Simplicity. A form derived from the matters most basic elemet, the atom.

Green Roof Systems - Excess water runoff System
The design process for the IoT was a collabrative one. I was particularly responsible for site planning and the architectural presentation drawings. I was responsible for contour management, site development and space making for the project. We developed the basic 3D modelling as a team but all the renders for the project were produced by Vidyasagar Tarkhedkar.

Sanctity of Water Handicraft and Tourist Center
The focus of the studio has been towards a comprehensive design solution that highlights the traditional architecture of the selected region and stands as a juxtaposition of modern and traditional architecture. The site located in Jaisalmer, a semi-arid zone - hot and dry desert region, having a flat terrain and large rocks in some portions of the site. The design has evolved by meticulous consideration the emotional aspect of architecture while balancing the traditional and structural aspects of the design. The extreme climatic zone of Rajasthan was a critical criteria in the design. Spatial requirements included workshops, retail shops, seminar hall, performance decks, outdoor community spaces, and residence quarters.

The section (below) explains the zoning of the project. The massing is so done that the structure creates shaded zones throughout the site. Various interactive spaces are formed within these shaded zones. The central stepped seating called the community well, is partially shaded during the day. It is surrounded by covered walkways which also act as heat barrier to all the structures. The ‘Community Well’ is inspired by the concept of traditional stepped well and when merged with the idea behind an amphitheater, it transforms into an interactive community space. Stepped wells are considered scared as they contain pure water at the center. In a similar fashion, the Community well houses a water body in it which amplifies the paradoxical Sanctity of Water. The converging lines of the steps focusing towards the water creates a dynamic effect. The water in the well is gathered by the sloping landscape. When covered, this space serves as a performance stage. The circular planning of the well provides a wider view of the tourist center and also promotes interaction amongst visitors.
Section A-A
The residential quarters are secluded from the rest of the site to maintain privacy. The quarters are buffered by children’s play area. Traditional architectural elements such as pergola covered walkways, perforated openings, narrow passages, terraced building are used to tackle the extreme climatic conditions. The design evolution sketches represent the stepby-step formation of interactive semi-shaded zones. A

Organized Chaos
Advanced Architecture Studies Center Architecture has always revolved around its users. The idea of future of architecture is based on this very principle of user - centric architecture but with an added layer of sensitive architecture and its conversation with the users. Through this process, the aim is to explore how emotions play a role in a designed space and how the users respond to these spaces. Designing an environment where the users experience architecture visually and emotionally and understand the dialogue between them and the space. In regard to the advance architecture studies center, which will cater and nourish the future designers, the idea is to facilitate a creative working and learning environments for its users. Designing sensitive architectural spaces to accommodate the users emotional & mental requirements is the basis of future of architecture.

Explosive Creativity The staggered and rotated floor plates create interesting open terraces. These spaces will be designed with varied character - Quiet reflective space, collaboration pads, relaxations spaces, hang - out balconies. The large seamless windows frame the beautiful views of the city of Atlanta. The natural slope of the site left undisturbed allows for interesting play spaces for students.
Across the Chaos The section cutting through the atrium and the central ramp explain the volumetric quality of the space. The stepped sit-out can be used for various function such as presentation rooms, critique rooms, reading zone, relaxation spaces, cafe. The varying lengths of each protruding arm allows for studio spaces for varying class sizes. The floor height for each floor is 20’ which allows for ample light and long spans for passages. Each studio has a mezzanine space with its respective spiral stair. The lower levels in the studios are designed for formal discussions whereas the mezzanines allow the students to design their own workspace per their requirements.
Retro - Fixture The entrance porch of the existing SCAD Digital Media Center is connected to the second level of the architecture school creating a larger relaxation space for the students of both the centers. The connecting bridge creates for a transparent gallery space to display student’s work to Atlanta.
Light Well
The central atrium, varying in size & shape for all levels, acts as a main transfer of energy throughout the structure as it connects the three levels visually as well as through an interactive ramp. A skylight above the atrium create a bright, vibrant space through the structure. The central atrium space on level one is elevated by 3’ and acts as a democratic space for student use. It is designed for student clubs’ meetings, design charrettes, informal meetings, celebration & display space.
Flowing Energy The ramp has been designed to promote conversation amongst students from all classes. It follows the central atrium and has student work displayed on either side. It allows for a more leisurely and informal display of student work.
