International Convention Center, Bangalore. Final year thesis project.
INTRODUCTION Rapid growth of industrial area and business sectors have created the used to expose these sectors to the rest of the world , to promote the nations economic as well as cultural background the idea of International Convention Center has been derived from the past scenario of the rapid growth of innovation, technology, art and cultures. To satisfy the above stated needs, an International convention center has been proposed at Bangalore, which will be a world class venue for conventions, shows and celebration. An arena designed to international standards with state of the art acoustics, illumination connectivity and ergonomic seating. These centers aim to encourage tourism industries, business sectors, artists, handicrafts department etc. Scope was to evolve a design with data driven architecture forms and spaces with distinct architectural characteristics focusing on space utilization and functions providing an encouraging environment for meetings and exhibitions. The project will be design oriented with an application of acoustical and illumination strategies with the methods extracted from latest technology. This project deals with the design which is well adaptable in terms of typology, function, climatic conditions and its identity. Thrust area of the project is development of spaces by merging built and unbuilt spaces and emphasizing on acoustic and lighting aspects creating encouraging spaces for meetings and conventions. Adaption of acoustic sculpting which is the creation of architectural shapes and forms based primarily on acoustical parameters.

The architectural concept create a fully linked expansion of convention center and exhibition center near Bangalore international airport, and takes maximum advantage of the proximity to the business parks. The architectural opportunity to develop the space with an ambient environment for meeting and conventions. The building was designed to showcase the India’s silicon valley strength to delegates by its monuemental size. Furthermore the spaces inside were well analysed and carved out for better sound and light performance which ae key elements in convention facilities.sound and light lock of a performance venue as a space that engages and prepares the audience for a performance. I have explored the development of this threshold as a true architectural space, one that enhances the ove all experience for the audience members. And by introducing a parametric process into the architectural and acoustic development, have proposed a unique process for the design of convention center.

Concert Hall Design and Acoustic Surface Shaping with Parametric Modeling Concept development process
SURFACE SHAPING The intimate nature of the concert hall suggests balcony seating that remains close to the performers and integral to the volume of the hall. The sweeping, draping form of the tiers provide convex balcony fronts that diffusely reflect sound back toward the main audience floor; each providing space for approximately thirty patrons. PARAMETRIC MODELLING The general concept of parametric modeling can be described as developing a model based on a series of variables (or parameters) versus modeling with discrete entities. In the case of architectural design, this means establishing a sequence of relationships that dynamically create form versus modeling fixed geometries. Architecturally this has many implications, with designers finding new ways to utilize the process every day. Surface paneling, constraint-based modeling and project feasibility are just some of the ways that parametric tools are being integrated into the architectural process. Understanding the software first from a design standpoint has allowed me to be able to recognize the potential of this tool in other applications. And there is a strong case to introduce parametrics into the field of acoustics. By using parametric modeling to operate within the digital realm shared by both design and analysis we can introduce acoustic parameters into an architectural modelto control the shape of key surfaces in sound critical spaces.

This is where the true power of this tool lies; in its ability to produce many iterations very quickly. Change the orientation, size, position, or curvature of any of the input variables and the consequences of those design changes are immediately visualized. And the more parameters that are controlled in Grasshopper the greater the possibility to generate unique solutions.

The architectural opportunity to develop the light lock facility for any exhibition venue as a space that engages and prepares the exhibits for an exhibition is one that is sadly missing from most halls. I have explored the development of this threshold as a true architectural character, one that enhances the over all experience for the audience members as well. And by introducing a parametric process into the architectural and electrical sensors development, have proposed a unique roof patttern for the design of exhibition halls.
Point attractor and photo receptor facade.
Grasshopper definition. Anathor concept to develop a different approach for facade design for large exhibition spaces. The point attractor parameters will focus the view points on an exhibits such that the viewer gets attracted to it from a far distance. Moreover the parametic louvers keeps ambient climatic conditions by providing proper shading.

Knowing the known - Urban poor in india. - Competition Entry.
DECEIVING THOUGHTS ABOUT THE URBAN POOR AND THEIR SETTLEMENT: • The people are poor, should remain in the rural area, and stopped from migrating to the city. • Provide them with cheap jobs, so that they can return back to the rural area. • Demolish the urban poor settlement to stop their formation. • Black holes in the image of the urban fabric. • Unhygienic and unpleasant condition. • Relocating the urban poor in the outskirts of the city will slum their ‘housing issues’ • They cannot afford and will pay for housing and other basic services. • Always look down upon them because they are poor.
SPOTTING THE POSITIVE ASPECTS: • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Historical value for its unique characteristics. Strong social bond due to their closeness and neighborhood Multi-functional living spaces and most optimum utilization of living space. Urban poor settlements are constructive results of efforts of a group or community. Spontaneous growth. Maximum use of ground cover. Ability to solve their own problem. Cheapest and most affordable minimal shelter. Transform the most neglected urban space for housing and community building. New economic sector in the urban areas. Helping hand in the overall development of the city. Birthplace creative and innovative ideas with available resources. Value for women in the community.
WHY NOT TO RELOCATE OR RESETTLEMENT : • • • • • • • • •
Community and neighborhood breaks down. Residents loss their business and employment. Absences of communal spaces which is medium for their employment. Loss of cultural character of the settlement. Vertical slum settlements which lead to inadequate lighting and ventilation. No proper services provided and increase in crime. Poor maintenance. Creative and innovative use of resources dissolve. Cannot cop up with new lifestyle.
The study of general slum development with formation of spaces. Analyzing formation of various communities inside slum and problems affecting them.
Design solution for slum, leprosy colony, Bangalore. - Competition Entry.
SITE FEATURES The 235 huts in the settlement are generally very small, and lack some basic services. An old transformer by the slum entrance distributes electricity for the whole of Leprosy Colony Electricity is well connected in the neighborhood, very few homes have individual toilet facilities. 95% of the slum dwellers have to use public toilet. Paths are narrow (0.5 - 2 meters) and most open spaces are in fact not open but covered by low roofs. In the centre of the settlement, a small semi-open community centre is located, and it is used heavily as an area for play, rest and socializing throughout the day.
HOW THE SETTLEMENT DEVELOPED Leprosy colony was initially a part of a larger settlement and got gradually separated from other groups as the city densified. The lepers were gradually pushed into the southwest corner of the settlement, and walls were erected as barriers between them and their neighboring settlements .Entrances to the leper slum were also delimited, and walls were erected along the railway to avoid accidents and to hide the slum. As well as the surrounding areas, the leprosy colony also grew denser from within.

Kala Ghoda Art District, Redesign, Mumbai. - Competition Entry.
MUMBAI The urbanism of Mumbai represents a fascinating intersection where the Kinetic City – a landscape of dystopia, and yet a symbol of optimism – challenges the Static City – encoded in architecture – to reposition and remake the city as a whole. The trains in Mumbai are emblematic of a kinetic space, supporting and blurring the formal and the informal, slicing through these worlds while momentarily collapsing them into a singular entity. Here the self-consciousness about modernity and the regulations imposed by the Static City are suspended and redundant. The Kinetic City can be seen as the symbolic image of the emerging urban South Asian condition. The processions, weddings, festivals, hawers, street vendors and slum dwellers or Katchi Abadis, all create an ever-transforming streetscape. Thus architecture is not the ‘spectacle’ of the city, nor does it even comprise the single dominant image. In contrast, festivals such as Diwali, Dussera, Navrathri, Muhharam, Durga Puja, Ganesh Chathurthi and many more, have emerged as the spectacles of the Kinetic City. KALA GHODA HISTORY Kala Ghoda is a neighborhood in South Mumbai, India. The crescent shaped precinct is the city's premier art district. It has a large number of the city's heritage buildings, and is full of museums, art galleries and educational institutions like the Jehangir Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Modern Art, the Prince of Wales Museum and The Arts Trust. Each year, the area hosts the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival. The area is sandwiched between Mumbai Port's docklands to the east, Regal Cinema to the south, Fountain to the north and Oval Maidan to the west. The Bombay Stock Exchange is to its north east.
ART + EXPRESSION (DISPLAY STANDS FOR PAINTINGS) An arts district would be incomplete without a platform where artists, whether famous or otherwise, could display their works to the world.
KALA GHODA TRANSFORMATIONS Architecture and urban typologies need to be imbued with elements that will facilitate versatile and flexible environments, robust and a biguous enough to allow the kinetic quality of the city to flourish. The Kala Ghoda area possess a rare capacity for reinterpretation. As an architectural solution, they display an incredible resilience; they can accommodate new uses while keeping the illusion of their architecture intact. The revival of Mumbai’s slowly fading arts district by advocating change is an aim of the design.
ART + DEFIANCE Art throughout history, has been used as a subtle suggestion of defiance. In colonial times, the precinct was recognized by the Prince of Wales statue. As a mark of defiance against the British rule, the locals named the area “Kala Ghoda� after the black horse ridden by the prince in the statue. As a tribute to the revolutionary spirit of Mumbai, rearing horse statues have been installed at the Hutatma Square.
ART+CONNECTIONS As a place-making strategy, the landscaping elements as well as the street furniture have been designed to creat a distinct identity of the art district.
ART + RECONNAISANCE some images from a very important part of our experience in any city. It is essential for us to preserve those significant images and project them into the minds of the people.
Three nodes of kala ghoda art district are considered for landscaping, which will gradually help whole site to get its won character. street connecting these three nodes area also designed while considering the heavy pedestrian flow during kala ghoda art festival.
Cotton market, Redesign, Nagpur. - Competition Entry.
Today, modern street vending plays a vital role in the urban economy, as a source of jobs, revenue and ‘value added’ to the economy. Street vending provides a flexible link in economic supply chains gives vitality to urban streets, and provides affordable goods for many urban resident, now it our duty to design for them.
Metro Station design, Delhi. - Competition Entry.
With increased pressure in Indian cities, government’s area implementing metro services as part of their long range planning. While metro stations are often designed in idea of relieving pressure on the already congested roads, they could also serve a vital role in the wellbeing of its patrons and the city. The aim was to create life inside an already busy metro station. How there can be so much more to the station then just the platforms!
