DESIGN STUDIO PROJECT - Waterfront development Location: Bitterfeld-wolfen, Germany
As one visits the lake, the first thought is celebrating peace - the sky, the sparkling lake, European Marram grass running alongside the lake. To read the context, most of the built structures are of the slopped roof and very individualistic. The former brown- coal open cast mine city the Bitterfeld presently has a new calm story. Amber lake is a source of numerous fossils. The striking element of the site is that the lake and the federal road run parallel to each other. The road acts as a line differentiating between the lakeside and the town side. The interesting yet conventional scenario is that the movement of people is pointed towards the lake. On observing this detail, the concept of the proposal is to design the built environment pointing towards the lake. This in turn results in breaking the linearity. Deciding on an angular design solution resulted in a drastic increase in having the lake view indoor spaces. The built obeys the existing road infrastructure and reserved landscape. The form is designed to play in units /seems individualistic to blend with its sloped roof context. The proposal connects the town side and lakeside visually. To strengthen this connection and to create an opportunity for the people to participate within the reserved forest area a bridge is proposed. The bridge connecting from the residential area to the lakeside near the apartment and further runs back to the forest and final lands to direct to the existing Wasser Zentrum(museum). The bridge is designed to have snack bars and a play area for kids. On analyzing the user group of the area- The crowd varies according to seasons. In summers there are concerts hosted and water sports are conducted, and on the rest of the year, the occupants are mostly the residents of Bitterfeld. Therefore, to hold a balance between user groups (residents and tourists), the choice of functions is made flexible to both the user groups because of which the lakeside is used throughout the year.

MOS A I C I S M MASTER THESIS PROPOSAL - Mixed use Location : Filmpark Babelsberg, Potsdam, Germany The word Mosaic strikes a simple picture of a coherent pattern or an image which are fundamentally composed of smaller pieces of materials such as glass or stone. The outlook of it is a single message from millions of units. Mosaicism states composition from two different units. To infer, Mosaicism- The proposed thesis project is a comprehension of the working of horizontal versus vertical movements concerning the built environment. Control over movement and living of people respecting space inferred from the current COVID-19 pandemic situation. Potsdam being the capital city of the German federal state of Brandenburg resides adjacent to Berlin and on the banks of River Havel. The character of the city is through a rich influence of Roman architecture and interesting settlement of Dutch, Flemish, and Swiss residents. Potsdam can be perceived as a juxtaposition of scenarios which makes it touristic. The site is the legendary Babelsberg studio, the oldest and largest film studio in the world. It sits on the further end of the city, south of Babelsberg, near Berlin, and plays as a final destination point for the visitors. Similar to the character of the city the studio projects an evident juxtaposition of scenarios. The site can be described as a physical fact of behind scenes/ making of movies. The site is extremely transformable. By this I mean any part of the world, a world on its whole and everything beyond it can come to life at a given point in time. It's realistic in a virtual fashion. Despite this vivid and vibrant scenario, the site blends partially with the existing urban fabric. The new urban stitch is derived from a pedestrian movement point of view. The run of functions blends with neighbouring context and aligns along the pedestrian pathway. The objective of the master plan is to perceive the street as a shared asset. Learning from current pandemic conditions, Mosaicism portrays a chromatic scale of solutions to mixed-use with segregated accessibility to each function, which reflects on the quality of density bifurcation in common areas.

DESIGN STUDIO PROJECT - Exhibition hall Location: Messedamm, Berlin, Germany The site is in the loop at the end of the AVUS Circuit, Berlin. Until 1998, it was used as a motor racing circuit and today it works as a part of an autobahn. The name `The Drop` is due to the appearance of the site. The adjacent built environment is comprised of exhibit halls - The Messe. The proposal is an add-on to the existing context. Accessibility to the site is nearly unapproachable by the pedestrians. It is similar to an island in midst of roadways. Messe Berlin is an international venue and is well connected with public transportations systems. The primary focus of the proposal is to achieve a column-free long span structure to accommodate a large number of crowds and to create better connectivity. As a result, 2 running ramps are proposed inspired by AVUS circuit dynamism to handle connectivity concerns. The structure acts as an envelope over the function - the ramps. The proposed structure is visually true to its form. To have column-free space, the found design solution is to adopt a simple series of arches as the primary frame of the structure since the arches are pure compression forms. The design complements the unique appearance of the site. "Architecture arouses moods in people, so the task of the architect is to give these moods concrete expression. A room must look cosy, a house comfortable to live in. The law courts must appear as a threatening gesture towards secret vice. The bank must declare: here your money is secure and well looked after by honest people" - Adolf Loos On sharing a similar approach, the mood of the structure, the purpose of the built is to be exhibited. The concept of the form is to look self-exhibiting. The running ramps where the activities are conducted are displayed to the outer world. The movement, the pause of the people to look at the display is captured in a sense. Usually, any exhibition hall work for a maximum of 3 - 4 months in a year. Therefore, to keep the area active throughout the year a part of the ramps can be used similar to a bridge and could also host private small exhibits.

THE RETREAT SWITCH DESIGN COMPETITION - A new typology for Library Top 50 choice - CBS5525 Location: Central park, New York, USA The iconic Central Park stands as an urban breathing space in the midst of a skyscraper jungle. Therefore, the proposed design concentrates on preserving the language of green. Since the typology is in a park, the primary stage is to achieve silence. This is executed through a concept influenced by nature, which is the flow of water through valleys. The proposed design aims at creating an ambiance reading experience. Scientifically, reading depends on fluid and crystallized intelligence. A pre-conquered knowledge and experience help one`s imagination when one reads. Racks of books state that it is a silent zone, isolates from the rest of the chaos of the park, and invites people to grab a book, relax and read. Thereby to read a valley is also through racks of books along the contour lines. These racks run similar to the movement of trains through tunnels and are sometimes exposed to the outer world. Working of reading valley is similar to that of an aisle of books in a library dedicated to a specific subject - Valley would act as an aisle. What is inside? What is outside? Being inside is to be enclosed in a suitable weather condition. During summer the whole valley is active and during winters the inside of the valleys will be active, like a cave with an unseparated view to the outer world by having openings through ceilings and elevations. So, grab a coffee, enjoy the beautiful nature, relax and read your favourite book!!! THE READING VALLEY.

KAUP BEACH RESORT Upcoming Resort project Employer : Deviprasad Constructions Location : Kaup, Udupi, Karnataka, India The introduction to the site could be started with the word picturesque. The Arabian sea until the horizon, the sand, millions of coconut trees leaning towards the sea as if they are trying to communicate. Kaup is a small town between Mangalore and Udupi city besides National highway 66. The site is near to the lighthouse which is a tourist spot. To find the potential of the site - in the range of 25km, a well-established University of Manipal and a historic temple is situated. There are few spa resorts nearby therefore the proposal aims to have a new perspective. The Kaup resort acts as a destination wedding venue and as a restaurant for the flowing fleet of people. According to the by-laws, in the range of 500m adjacent to the sea only renovation of pre-existing structures can only be constructed. Therefore, the area for the new resort was pre-decided. The form is derived from the vernacular courtyard house. The split and the alternative play of volumes of the form is designed to attain maximum sea view and to serve a larger crowd at different levels. The design follows ancient Indian Architecture science called Vaastu Shastra. The direction plays a crucial role in the proposal. The orientation of the built is designed to enhance a comfortable living considering the sun path and the wind flow in addition to clear placement of service and living areas.

SECTIONS THROUGH COURTYARD
The form is designed to accomodate a large user group with a breath taking view of the sea. The resort functions as a restuarant for flowing fleet of people and resort for the tourists. The space is considered to function as a destination wedding venue. A large number of users can occupy / celebrate at different levels.
The volume split is derived to achieve maximum view and to host large crowd. The central courtyard is attained by traditional courtyard house. According to existing site bylaws - New Proposal on the beach side should be a renovation on pre-existing structure. Due to this reason the massing dimension was fixed according to pre-existing structure.

SPORTS HUB TRANSPARENCE design competition by Saint-Gobain Transit development Location: Hypothetical site in Delhi, India. The competition was conducted when metro lines were relatively new in India. The intention was to explore transit development. As the competition was conducted by Saint-Gobain a well known manufacturing company, the design brief stated use of glass will be encouraged and hence the name Transparence. The context is hypothetical. The interesting flexibility is that the North-Eastern part of the context should be replaced with any Delhi, India Metro stations, and the rest that is, the corporate sector, Residential area, College, and market remain constant. The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Metro Station was the choice made to redefine the user group of the context. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium hosted Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, and such international sports events. The metro station nearby is an underground metro station. Keeping this aspect at the focus the concept of the proposal is developed enhancing the linearity of the site. The axis is initially divided into two parallel units running opposite to each other similar to that of the underground metro lines. As one exits from the underground metro station, the individual can freely explore the hub comprising of functions such as play areas, sports shopping units, spa, and short stay. The functions are placed according to their immediate context. Cheering by the crowd to their favourite player or the team would give immense courage and motivation to the players. This player-viewer interaction is an important element which makes the sport all the more interesting. The concept of having a platform to enjoy the spotlight by the players and the involvement of the crowd is considered in this proposal.
