Linkage studies Analog linkage transformation studies were done to experiment with joints flexibility, spring strength and derive rule sets for the simulations. The experiments were done in pursuit to achieve maximum transformation from minimum displacement or action.

Material organisation The membrane of the linkage is created by hard soft system, where hard tessellated part is embedded over the soft layer such that when linkage transforms and bends, the tessellated hard part lock each other, creating a hard surface. Different tessellated patterns were experimented for skin, both geometrical and from the force line diagrams which were generated digitally by applying load on the skin surface geometry.

CTRL+CRYSTALLISE Workshop ll AADRL, London, UK

Ctrl+ Crystallise is an attempt to create a system to computationally generate and evaluate structural geometries based on a DLA based crystallisation process. As part of the overall workshop objective to study a natural phenomenon and simulate its geometry generating process , Ctrl+ Crystallise undertook the study of crystal growth. After the initial research into the aggregation and lattice rules as well as the time based deposition involved in crystal growth we worked on a four step process to simulate and generate with the rules developed.

As a parallel process we experimented with the different factor effecting the DLA process such as particle density & movement, seeds density, aggregation logic etc. This gave us a subset of the original particle cloud based on where material was deposited by the agents. The resultant particle configuration was subjected to a simple qualitative test to visualise the load paths upon self-weight. This â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;decayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; process helped us to identify the load transfer axis and areas of stress. As an extension to the original workshop brief, the feasible options (particle based system) were transformed to have an optimised geometrical configuration based on the particle connection logic to abstract the essential features with the limited amount of control mechanisms. A number of methods were tested and evaluated based on the resultant output.

The starting point for our research was the study of the geometrical boundary or control environment inside which we would simulate the phenomena. We started with simple columns and studied the effects of their transformation on our simulation. This control environment acted as the agency of controlling the boundary and growth process of the DLA simulation

PATTERNS & TWIST Workshop l AADRL, London, UK

The project concentrates on the idea of force flow through fabric forming techniques where inner and outer layers of fabric and their interrelation govern the form of the prototype. We studied Frei otto, Miguel fisac and Antonio gaudi through analog models and tried to understand their techniques of structural form finding. We focussed on patterning and twisting as the main area of the research and create minimal surfaces. We studied how patterning allows plaster flow in a particular behaviour and rule sets where it can act as manipulated

structural system. The level of complexity increases when we add another layer of twisting which agglomerates to specific material flow direction, adding to structural system altogether. We experimented with various analog models and digital simulations to explore the behaviour of material through patterning and twisting.

SLUM REHABILITATION, KUMBHARWADA, MUMBAI Thesis Project B.Arch, AMU, INDIA

Kumbharwada (Potterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing) is a slum settlement in Dharavi. It is at the prominent intersection of 90ft. and 60 ft. road. As the name suggests kumbharwada is a settlement with majority of population in pottery business. Pottery is a dying art there and the reason behind it are hazardous process of making pottery and very less profit to sustain in the cosmopolitan city. The population of kumbharwada is around 15000 with 2900 families. There are 117 kilns in total which are used to make pottery, these kilns are in working condition for only 2/3rd of the year and kept closed during the monsoon season.

The kilns are shared by around 500 families which work on making hard bowls and pots and other 500 families handle the post production of the pottery. They sell pottery in wholesale system in the entire city. The other occupations are carpentry, tailoring, tuition, confectionery and fishing etc.

Bird eye view

Kumbharwada The basic plan of a dwelling unit at kumbharwada is tubular, this characteristic of the units can be easily understood by studying the basic lifestyle of kumbhars. The reason for a typical unit being tubular is high density and division of unit into 3 parts, one for the commercial shop, the middle for household activities, and the other is used for production and preparation of pottery.

Dharavi

Dharavi is home to between half a million to a million people. A recent survey by the kamla raheja vidyanidhi institute of architecture (KRVIA), established that the central area of dharavi ( chamra bazaar) contained density of up to 336, 643 people per square kilometre, assuming a population of 700,000 the population density would be around 314887 per square kilometre. This is 11 times as dense as whole Mumbai as a whole (the most densely populated city in the world with 29500 people per square kilometre) and more than 6 times as dense as daytime Manhattan (about 50000 people per square kilometre).

Ideology The ideology was to create the space and housing units depending on the utility and requirement of the people of kumbharwada and also to learn from the street scape and adapt the environment within the current fabric. It was planned to create small housing clusters to provide space for kilns and also to provide interactive junctions and street space. The ground floor of the units were dedicated to the kumbhars who owned the kilns, while the first floor was given to the people who worked with kiln owners in production and finishing of pottery, other floors were allocated for the families indulged in other activities.

Farm house, Rajokri Studio Synapse New Delhi

Whole design has evolved around the existing trees and taking maximum visual/physical connectivity with the depression and east horizon. Deep overhang to protect southern sun, wooden louvres to cut down glare naturally became design features.

Located at the edge of Rajokri river forest, the 4 acre site opens up to the horizon at south and east with deep cliff of 8m to 12m. Cliff is formed by abandoned stone quarries. Unfortunately you cannot build on cliff due to setback issues. Within the site there is one depression with some existing trees, rest barren grass land.

Ideology The concept was to maximise the building flow within the area of depression and spread out the building functions within the area such that the trees surround the resort within its cluster. There was a play with shadows to avoid the south sun and provide diffused light along the site boundary.
