Initiating Rural Development through Sugar Industry
Program & Site Creating employment in rural areas where agriculture is the main form of income is extremely important. The sugar industry not only creates employment but also helps local farmers get high yields from their farming, by educating them on the modern farming systems. The site is located considering the abundance of sugarcane farming by the locals, proximity to the six villages that have a low population growth rate and high unemployment rates. National Highway is just 5.5kms away from the site for adequate transport efficiency.

Due to the height of the structure the courtyard wouldn’t harness much light, therefore the corridor is glazed allowing light to enter through the corridor and horizontal louvers are added to break the direct light of the south facade and let it into the courtyard.

Formation of courtyard due to need of corridor on the south facade Adding voids to the extrusion optimal for light and ventilation Since the site is narrow the shape of the site determines the basic form of the sturcture

The courtyards provide cross ventilation even to the rooms on the ground floor.Large playground is proposed in the centeral area, An outdoor stage is proposed for conduction programns in the open.

Community Center at Haja Patel Ni Pol, Ahmedabad
The concept for this design was to incoporate the core design elements of the pol. Narrow streets and low-rise structures that self shade each other in the hot and dry climate of Ahmedabad. The site was divided into 4 different parts on the ground level, this is because building is for the community and would have open access to all, and to incorporate the streets of pol into the design. The 3 stories public functions on the ground floor like shops, medical clinic, workshops and the multi-purpose hall, and consisted of semi-public functions on the stories above. 3.

Pol is all about its lively streets, which is organically evolved over the years. The concept of otla (a small porch along the boundary or in front of a traditional Indian house, generally used as an outdoor seating space) has been incorporated throughout the design. Designing in a way that incorporates the existing culture and the use-case of the street was important during the design phase. Page 14

Due to the lack of green spaces throughout the pol, community gardens are proposed on the accessible terraces of the structure. The multi-purpose hall consists of a mezzanine floor as a dining area, Where people can enjoy the event from the floor above.

ZONING & CIRCULATION PLAN
The Master Planning of this proposed deemed university was a group project and the detailing of the buildings was individual, Due to the narrow entry point for such a massive site, the proposed emergency services were planned at the entrance. The site was divided into 2 central points - one of them consists of an admin building and the other being the central lake and public space for the university Page 16

The Administration Building is the central building and should be welcoming. The orientation of the building was proposed considering the sun and wind directions. As it is a public building the design consists of large open spaces within the building making it porous and freeflowing. Every interior space consists of cross ventilation reducing the use of air conditioners and achieving passive thermal comfort.
