MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT 01 UDUPI,KARNATAKA
Studio : VI Semester
Udupi is a fast-growing educational hub with many educational institutions. Students come here from various parts of the world. There is a constant influx of people from the academic community – scholars, lecturers and students.
The task is to design a high-rise Apartment for the growing demand and the people of Udupi. The targeted user group for this apartment were family, couples and bachelors. Since the site is in prime location of the city, there was a need to achieve maximum F.A.R. for Economic benefit. The site is around 5 acres (20,230 sq.m) located in Bedinagudde. The max. ground coverage permissible is 50% of the site.
CONCEPT :
The project aims to create a strong relationship between private and public spaces. The project tries to achieve the maximum FAR with housing units to meet market and business requirement. At the same time the spaces are zoned in such a way, to promote active green spaces even during covid situation.
STRATEGIES :
Conceptual idea for spacing the activities
Understanding and zoning the spaces with respect to Human proxemics – private , semiprivate and public
Human proxemics Tools used :
Apartments
Commercial –2 floors
Plaza
Basement -1
Basement -2
Site with 6 M wide road on 2 sides
Minimum setback, taken according to local bylaw.
Build up space is raised vertically up in such a way, to use the maximum FAR
Circulation, Road Network , Ramp and Plaza provided. Building is split into 2 – for natural lighting and ventilation
Amenity block is placed between 2 block. Facilities are positioned vertically, making people to move between floors for amenities.

The conic structure is being built in Nav Bharat Udyan to realize Aatmanirbhar Bharat's grand vision of an emerging New India with equitable growth opportunities, rooted in Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, and Sabka Vishwaas values.
Initial study on Morphopolgy , Urban fabrics of Delhi and development of master plan were done as a group of 5. Iconic structure with urban pocket Detailing was done by me in later stage of Semester.
MASTER PLAN :
CONCEPT :

MIT FOOD COURT 03 MANIPAL,INDIA
Studio : VII Semester
The MIT food court is a student favorite because of its comfortable interiors with centralized air conditioned, with its healthy and sanitary cuisine, which is all housed under a single roof.
But there is a disconnect between the architecture of the spaces. Even though the building is situated in the most suitable location on the campus, the interior spaces are not adequate to accommodate all the users.
The proposal of this project is to redesign interior of the food court to provide students with an enhanced overall experience.
USER GROUP :
1. Student
2. Workers
3. Irregular visitor
AREA :
Total area – 4600 M^2
Focus area – 600 M^2
EXISTING FLOOR PLANS :
CONCEPT :
Place making involves designing a space to evoke positive emotions. Since a food court's activity is larger, the area can be segregated to create different zones and identities that people can use to differentiate and find each other.
Interior spaces can be zoned , using different colours, furniture, patterns, connectivity, activity defining, and social interaction defining. Different colours, furniture arrangements, lighting styles, and dispersions can be used to create visually seamless transitional zones.
SOCIAL INTERACTION ZONE
This is an interactive space for larger student groups.
GROUP INTERACTION ZONE
This is an interactive space study groups, discussion groups (clubs, forums, etc.)
FOOD STALL ZONE
An area where students are allowed to make purchases directly from stores.

SEMI INTERACTIVE ZONE
This is an interactive space for smaller groups of students, that don’t come to the food court without any agenda.
