The story of the project starts with the erosion of natural ecosystems in the world today in lieu of mass resource consumption and climate change. It imagines a time in the future when natural ecosystems can coexist and support human sustenance.

The essence of the project lies in the manipulation and morphing of light filtering in through the architecture, like the continuously changing spatial atmospheres in a natural ecosystem like a mangrove. Controlling and manipulating light and thereby shadows to create a diversity of spatial conditions is the main driver of the project. Futuristic construction techniques are employed with local regenerative materials to discover new ways of building with nature.
6/34
7/34
8/34
Today’s renewed interest in materiality and materialization in architecture is fueled by the rapidly-advancing field of materials engineering combined with an urgency to build more sustainably and efficiently. The architect’s role in material choice, material design, and material critique is more and more relevant, demanding integration with emerging cutting-edge digital design and fabrication environments.
QUE CERA
Speculative ceramics engineering and its implication on building techniques Material Research Design Studio | Cornell University (Masters) In collaboration with Akhila Arakkal, Dora Lo, Olivia Calalo

Emergent material technologies for ceramics [ T O O L H [ETAODO TL YH [ PTEE OASOD]L THYEPAEDS ]T Y P E S ] and the relationship between material properties and method of fabrication were studied to come up with a novel innovative of building with clay. Material properties were calibrated according to desired quality at the scale of a building using computed compositions of clay bodies. A robot was designed to “throw” ceramic bricks which could then be deployed as diverse building elements. The analogue method of IN IN IN [ I S O M E Twith [R I SI O C ]M E[ Ta I SROI more CM] E T R I C ] working with clay was re-imagined DRYING DRYING streamlined mechanised fabrication process to increase mass production and customisation.

The environmental concerns and values that began post industrialization have brought into focus awareness of the natural systems on Earth. The urban landscape which was primarily consumer driven is being navigated slowly towards nature.

An institution which integrates urban farming into its architecture, adding green space. During the day students are involved in the process of farming and then an after school community center skill development along with growing their own food. It also includes a community kitchen, a crèche and a small retail outlet for the helpers and volunteers to promote the idea of sharing resources. Staggered floor plates create double volumes which allow plants to grow on terraces which can be accessed from every learning space. The building is designed and constructed as a prototype for the villagers to adopt from. Overall, negotiations between materials available, local techniques and current requirements of people, drove us to evaluate and design the project as an ‘ecosystem’ and not just a ‘site’.

Designs in disaster prone zones should not only be resilient but also take into account the accessibility of resources in corresponding context and topography. A house in an earthquake prone zone is designed with a heavy stone filled retaining wall at the bottom and a light wooden structure on the top.

In order to make the entire design cost effective, local labour and materials are supported over introducing foreign elements. All materials are procured within a 16 km radius and in case the site is too secluded, provisions have been made for transport of in small pickup vans. All elements including wooden members of the portal frame, rolls of chain link, steel joints and cables are designed to fit in it.

The handmade workshop series is a medium to ‘learn by doing’ creating meaningful interventions in communities.The intent was to design and build a school using local techniques but modifying them to the present needs, while saliently providing design solutions for technical difficulties.

A one-way pitched roof is designed to collect rain water, which is then purified using a locally fabricated sedimentation tank. Lastly, the traditional technique of constructing a stone Introducing two wooden bands to make the building earthquake resistant slate roof, was reassessed to solve the problem of leaky patches. The building is constructed as a prototype.

Craft is termed as an act of creating a product through a defined methodology of sequenced assembly. The design enhances the rhythm of “making� in architecture by keenly looking into the processes of local construction and decoding them with a prior understanding of craft, creating a set of guidelines for a prototypical DIY arts pavilion.

Details of two types of modules are worked out: one with linear combination and one with circular combination. Local materials like Bamboo and red stone were used in the module. The cantilevered module allows for openness on one side as well as the potential to adapt to different contexts and programme.

Interdisciplinary work structures demand a different approach to conception of work environments. A new age office space was designed by closely analysing the interpersonal work relationships and then drawing inferences from a Kandinsky painting. Spatial compositions and material expressions are encoded in limes, colours, shapes and balance of elements that occupy the space.
