Architecture College

A college is a social institution which gives like-minded individuals a platform to learn and share ideas. It gives opportunities for collective intelligence, enhances creativity and learning process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a space which promotes one to ďŹ nd their own meaning to things, through their own path of research, analysis, discussions and most importantly introspection. Broken rules or orders incite thought, and simple space to provide one with the mind space to process that thought. An institution should be able to provide different kinds of spaces for each individual to own and be comfortable in. People require different spaces for introspection and thinking, some need bright, open, well lit spaces, while others prefer a darker, cosy space. However, these spaces should not be isolated from each other, but should be in transitory relationship. Transition is the key to an institution in both tangible and intangible ways. This becomes important when one moves through an institution and looks within as well as outside to observe, listen and retrospect but from a comfortable inward zone. The site is a contoured land, almost hugging the fort wall of the Bidar fort. The design process started by creating a written narrative. The design was further developed with the help of it and other cues like the slope of the site, hot and dry climate of the area, materiality and historical context.

Humans are social beings and always live in coexistence with other humans and nature, and one of the biggest notion humans carry is the sense of ownership and hence comes the idea of sharing. Sharing happens from the smallest unit of a house to larger scale open areas. Shared spaces create an environment where people with similar interests can have influence over one another. It gives people opportunity to meet, learn and grow and brings in a sense of community and belongingness. The design site was a part of the old port of Mangalore (one of the identified smart cities) and the design was in lines with a proposal to make the old port a river front. Our aim was to design a building as a catalyst to initiate usage and further development, along the new proposed river front. Then we questioned “what is really public?”;“What would the building be reacting to, in a site which is not being used for the meant purpose?” And the biggest question was how does one navigate through a public space. In this design a public spine, a gallery, was created to hold all the other functions together. This public gallery was the fluid (water) intersecting with the other rigid buildings (rock). Each function was designed to be used in multiple ways, to open up to create different spaces. Studio Guides: Prof. Nelson Joe Vijai Pais Asst. Prof. R.

Housing for Artists If a home is about a person, then housing is a conversation between people. In the current age of plotted development where land is sliced into pieces to build tight houses, with more ďŹ&#x201A;oors than permitted, we tried to combine 16 small plots and made it a bigger site for a housing project. We had to build 28 houses, while questioning how a housing could also become a public space which is porous yet caters to the privacy of the residents. The idea was to create a housing without boundaries. This housing project is for a group of artists, performers, theatre personnel. The idea was to give them a street where one has to walk in front of others houses and when someone does they can always hear the other person practicing in their house. This is could help build a relationship between each other with the help of art keeping in mind the visual privacy of the residents. In addition, a platform is created for these artists to perform in-front of a larger audience.

Interior Design Sem. 7 The aim of the studio was to explore functional, aesthetic and psychological aspects of interior space. Multiple projects were undertaken in the studio to understand the discipline of Interior design. Two such projects have been presented here. Sushi Bar The exploration was in the line of understanding the functionality of the Sushi bar, the Sushi itself and then using other aids such as material, furniture to design a Sushi bar. A proposal for the Future The aim was to design a public space in Mysore, which works in the future. The idea was to conceptualise the proposed future, and derive a design out of it.

Studio Guides: Prof. Anna Cherian Prof. Akash Rai

Sushi is a Japanese dish which is a detailed and well crafted item. A sushi in an Indian context without its cultural backdrop would be nothing more than art on display. So to bring a Japanese restaurant into an Indian city without out making it totally alien to the space is important. In order to do so we need to look at the similarities of both cultures and use them to guide the design. The way people of both cultures eat, their eye for intricacy and crafting.

Adaptive Reuse Sem. V

Vertical Studio

During one of our RSP visits, we encountered an old, unused and partially collapsed building. It sits on the major axis connecting the city to the old port of Mangalore. Our minor design problem was to reuse and design a public space using this existing MCC building, which also served the East India Company. The idea was to create a catalyst which would revitalise the old port and reinforce the river front as proposed in the Smart City project. It was important to keep the essence of the old MCC Building since it carried a historic importance for the port and the city of Mangalore. It was deliberated and decided that the most striking character of this building and some other building of that era and that area were the strong load bearing parallel walls, and sloped roof. The concept was to use the parallel load bearing walls to support a new roof which would ďŹ&#x201A;oat above the building, almost encasing and protecting the old, important building. The essence of the building is that, the Past supports Today, and Today protects the Past. The building mainly houses gallery and exhibit areas. The other secondary functions are a cafe and a book store. In collaboration with Anchal Jain | Anu Majo | Priyamvada Kasturi | Rakshith Lionell | Rini Paul | Varsha V

SCULPTOR’S STUDIO

The design intent was to understand space making using only the horizontal plane. The design problem was to design a studio space for a sculptor using ﬂoor modulation and material. A studio should inspire the sculptor and also reﬂect the nature of work. A studio should be simple in zoning, easy to move around and convenient to work in. There are 3 zones - work, relaxation, storage and secondary functions.

Miscellaneous Works

SET THE TABLES

Most of the floor is stone to take the blunt impact of materials and tools. Other types of flooring is an earthen bed for clay work, a grass bed and a water channel. These different floorings also help display and experience the sculptor’s work in different places. These materials also appeal to one’s sight, touch and also hearing. The level difference helps form workstation and seating.

SUNRISE - KIOSK

The proposal was to design and make a life size kiosk, with the smallest area required, keeping in mind the anthropometric requirements of the vendor. Along with anthropometry, our considerations were how one would set up this kiosk and close it at the end of the business day. This kiosk sells general household items like soaps and detergent, stationary, basic snack items, etc. The ﬁnal scheme was a kiosk - Sunrise, which opens up in the morning and compressed into a small unit when not in use.

PRAVAH

The design intent was to use the 3 elements- floor, wall and roof to create a space for worship. The design is based on the story of Shiva’s infinity. ‘Lord Shiva appeared as a cosmic pillar and Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu had a competition about who could see the end of lord Shiva. Brahma became an eagle and started flying to see the head of Shiva and Vishnu became Varaha(boar) to see the foot of the pillar. Both couldn’t reach the end.’

The

WALL

The design intent was to understand space making using only the vertical plane. The design problem was to design a memorial for a person using vertical elements. My design is a tribute to the Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi, who worked against child labour. The design is therefore set in a slum and works as a space for children to come together, play, learn and be free. There are 2 parts in the design, a concrete play pen and 2 soaring walls with a slit.

One enters through a large opening, which is well lit which converges into a darker space as it descends. Ones someone is inside, they ﬁnd a stream of water which glows because of diffused sunlight. The stream as seen from inside has neither a beginning nor an end. The temple is subterranean and the faint glowing water stream and the sound of the stream creates a calm space for meditation.

The single aim of my life is that every child is: free to be a child, free to grow and develop, free to eat, sleep, see daylight, free to laugh and cry, free to play, free to learn, free to go to school, and above all, free to dream. -Kailash Satyarthi
