Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India 2000sqm I Conceptualized-Design-drawing
This project was an attempt to understand scale and how it brings a sense of emotional being and connectivity to ones own place of belonging; reflected to where you live. It was one of the first attempt on architectural understanding of the build form with people’s personal space. Imagine and visualize clients with various personalities. Design a house, for all their needs, and best reflects their personal traits. Site for the project is situated near Sabarmati riverfront. Construction Material for the building is supposed to be thought off. Rammed Earth and Timber are the two material used in this project.

Rehabilitation program for the fishermen community. 140 houses , parking, common gatherings space. Prime source of livelihood is; occupation related to fishing. Designing neighborhood that solves the issue they face in everyday life. Original settlement: Each house has its own rear and front otla, that is ‘no’ family resides on the top of another family. Each houses requires a place for water storage tanks, more places to carry out community gatherings, More interactive dwelling for a safer surrounding since men go for fishing in the sea for few months in the year.
Top to Bottom:: Fishing as occupation, Women- prime role in earning for the family, Ship building, Drying of fish

INDIVIDUAL HOUSE MODULE Each house is dedicated to a single family of 5 people. Based on the size of respective unit, it has one entrance semi-open otla and a wet area both facing the street. Wet area of each of the house faces small chowks formed by few houses which is oriented to the nearest water tank. Easy transfer. Each house has several large terraces and balcony so as to integrate activities such drying of fishes and weaving bags etc.

ANALYZING
PROPOSED
Sunlight and shadow Considerations- Azimuth angle 199.5 Altitude 23.5 Parameter-7:00 I 14:30 I 17:00 May’15
Morning sun shades whole sitetall building on east. Afternoon-local streets & nodes shaded. Evening sun shades entire site due to compact settlement. Issue: Less harsh sunlight in evening do not befit the cluster
Wind flow & Ventilation Considerations- Avg wind speed 10m/s, Height 0.45m, Parameter-May-August(Peak wind)
Plan-Wind pockets are formed adjacent to the line of flow Section- hight speed do not retain in the sight, creates voxel at open area. Conclusion: -Design of units with semi-open and closed spaces- good cross ventilation placed in any direction. -Ascending order of the building helps retain low velocity wind. -More open pockets for more voxels required.

Matrix V Cluster Relationship-Connectivty
The transition from one module to another is all a space. It is important to keep the experience from space to another, in a consistent manner. The hierarchy follows and all levels:
This matrix controls the arrangement for cluster based on the inter relationship of few function. The purpose of relationship can easy and direct access from classroom to other school activities. It also ensure the appropriate reachability of administrative body to all the classrooms. It provide a clear method of arranging the cluster to ensure comfortable approach to the services with the premise.

Matrix lI Cluster- Spatial Arrangement
Clustering these modules based on the intention to achieve, such as: • Shortest way to reach clusters • Most interacting open play-learn experience • Overlooking extra-curricular activities- interdependency These intentions can be achieved by number of spatial arrangement of modules based on criteria considering • Corridor • Nearest opens pace. Based on these criteria, parameters such as • Shading the open space • Daylight in the classroom •• Width and length of corridor are measured.

Program was to develop an urban patch in central business district of Ahmedabad. Proposed program includes offices, commercial, retail and residential. The site is situated on Ashram road along the banks of Sabarmati river. Following design considerations were taken care of during designing: • Recreational spaces in the front addressing lack of urban open green space. • Bazaars designed at the sides of arcades promoting more public pause for leisure and entertainment • Commercial blocks have terraces at all sides provides breaks and view to the river.

Design a prototype for a stall- used for pan selling and other food packets. The idea was to use a module of 2sqmeter each with serving table, sliding doors and many compact storage for the products. The entire system was developed studying the human anthropometry. Principle followed purely on practical aspects for the stall such as: • Maximum frontage - more open-able window • Flexible form - to fit on any compact space on street • Movable serving table- any opening used as serving desk • two unit- used as per requirement, storage and selling • Movable attached stalls to motor vehicles
Possible ways to use the module based on compact area near the street

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India 2000sqm I Material study-Design-Construction
Design construction drawings for a residence project. The material for the project is rammed earth and timber. The program provided the opportunity to understand the workability, advantages as well as constraints of using rammed earth as building material. The form work and execution process for this material is unique required use to think of it from the initial stage. Formwork can be a set of timber/steel module. Case study for this program is Foundation of Ecological System, Anand, Gujarat
