HERITAGE RETROFIT CONCEPT: The Baoli was a water reservoir and by default a place for social interaction ,a stopover for the travellers. Our basic concept was revival of the Baoli for the purpose for which it was built, however in contemporary terms. Also to use water as a means of attracting people back to the Baoli like it did years ago. Hence we decided to play upon this idea and which led us to a traveller’s café. A place for travellers to meet in the real world not on social media. , exchange travel stories, make friends, even connect with future travel partners and make travel plans. Attend interactive talks and workshops by travellers, photographers and writers. Have a library that can be referred to for travel books including guides, coffee table books and travelogues enabling travellers to make well informed choices. The spaces have been associated with the same elements with as before but with a contemporary spin .

INTERVENTIONS:
WATER FEATURE
The water storage area has been converted into a 3 level water feature system having different water features at the three levels. Water installations have been added as a means to attract visitors in the similar manner in which the water stored in the Baoli did years ago .
The steps can be used as a seating system with a stream of water running down leading to the lowest arch. having one of the water installations.
While some of the deeper niches have been used for displaying books the shallow niches have been extended using a temporary structure and are used for photography exhibition purposes.
The covered well is being used as a light and show fountain feature as well as a vantage point from where the view of the city can be enjoyed. Also since this space has a clear visibility the water fountain would also act as a means to attract visitors
First level consists of motion detecting rain installation
The last arch has been levelled to create a platform where book readings , signings, jamming sessions and other events can be held.
The side pathways have been extended so as to allow visitors to walk comfortably around the Baoli. Allowing them to visit the niches.
A cafĂŠ has been introduced with and open and cohesive seating allowing people to interact and share their travel stories and experiences.

Second level consists of a 3d installation which creates a sense of depth in the whole space.
The last level consists of a 3d LED display which shows water flowing throughout the space giving a feeling of being immersed in water.

WASHROOM REDESIGN PROJECT BRIEF: The first step of this exercise was to chose an existing wet area i.e.. Either a kitchen or a washroom. I chose my hostel washroom. The washroom is used by me and my room mate. We have been using this washroom for 2 years now and have been facing a lot of problems. Thus, I thought of redesigning it.

SLOTCO PROJECT BRIEF
CONCEPT AND DESIGN STRATERGY:
ZONING
The project is a combination of three facilities proposed for Pearl in the new “Slotco” building. A.Pearl Library & Resource centre B.Pearl student café & Recreation centre C.Pearl Design Shop & Exhibition space
A centralized entry has been given to the building. The staircase has been centrally placed as there are two different spaces/activities happening on either sides of the building. A mezzanine has been created, which connects the resource centre to the library via computer and printing room(happening on the mezzanine).
GROUND FLOOR
CIRCULATION PATTERN FIRST FLOOR
Existing site pictures
•The exhibition space and design shop being public spaces have been placed on the ground floor for the convenience of the visitors . • The resource centre and library are connected via mezzanine. • The computer centre and printing is placed on the mezzanine, thereby connecting the two spaces. • The main entry and staircase are centrally placed for strategized circulation. • The library is a semi public space, thus placed on the second floor i.e. For easy access for students as well as visitors. • The cafe is placed on the top floor as it is mainly designed for the students and is more of a personal space for them.

FINAL PROJECT: Traveller’s hostel AIM OF THE PROJECT •
•
To provide a place for travellers, which will cater to all their travel needs under one roof. Thereby developing a multi functional programme, a traveller’s hub. This would include a hostel, service apartments, meditation centre and traveller’s cafe. This traveller’s hub will aim at providing facilities for traveller’s of all ages and different budget slabs.
WHY THIS PROJECT • • •
Existing hostels in Delhi are at a very small scale and do not cater to all traveller’s needs. No traveller’s hostel , service apartments and travel cafe co-exist. More over none of the hostels provide for a cafe that is open to all. The hostels are very restrictive in terms of providing multi functional facilities.

A VIEW OF THE COURTYARD BED ELEVATION
A landscaped courtyard is a research based design element, that promotes social interaction, encourages increased outdoor usage and provides a sense of connection with the world beyond the brick walls. All spaces on the ground floor respond to the courtyard , with glass facades and openings looking into the courtyard. The reception is placed at one end, where the visitor crosses the entire courtyard, giving him an experience of the entire hostel. The glass facades visually connect the visitor with all the activities happening in the space. The privacy level increase with each floor. Restricting all public spaces on ground and first floor.
