NEHA NIRANJAN | SELECTED WORKS | 2017 - 2021
ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Hello, I am Neha Niranjan, a fourth year student studying at Dayananda Sagar College of Architecture, Bangalore. For me, architecture is more than just a physical form; it is about how a space communicates with its users and creates a memorable experience. The relationship between design and users makes for a special project. I’m looking forward to new learning encounters and wish to develop personally and as an architect from the exposure and knowledge from the professional world.

BDA COMPLEX REDESIGN The project brief was intended to redesign the Bhanashankari BDA complex to make it adaptable to the post pandemic world. The basic area program remains same and only additions could be made to enhance its performance. Location : Bangalore, India Project type: Pandemic Responsive Design Year: 2020

introduction My approach to this design was emphasize on open spaces by reducing the footprint of the building and expanding it vertically. The block is split up into smaller parts and terraces have been added to help with social distancing. Some extra multifunctional spaces have also been added to enhance the performance of the complex.
existing block
splitting the block to provide more circulation and access points
creating a central open-to-sky exhibition space in the middle
Formulation of the area program was based on footfall of the site and current problems faced by the users of the BDA complex. Some new spaces have been added to the existing area program to enhance the performance of the space for all age groups.
form development
cutting these blocks further to provide circulation in between
moving the bottom wing to the right and top wing to the left
adding bridges and columns, and creating terraces on different levels

the complex has around 150 shops in the complex and earns up to 2lakh rupees per month. 40m * 97m cut-outs =16m * 16m total area=3800 square metres G+2 park = 24 *115* 28*115 = 2970 sq.m total built up = 2500 square metres no. of shops = 150 hence, area per shop = 16.6 sq.m per shop

02 TRANSIT HUB DESIGN
The aim of this project was to built a space that acts as an exchange point between different modes of transport. The site was near the Baiyappanahalli metro station where there was an interchange of passengers between the metro, railway and buses. The site was also supposed to contain facilities like a restaurant, MLCP and other basic amenities to give the users a comfortable experience. Location : Bangalore, India Project type: Academic Year: 2019

site analysis
The site in Baiyappanahalli has many modes of transport meeting at the site. After a detailed analysis of the site, it is concluded that the area does not have any permanent bus stop, that is necessary based on the footfall.
site details
The site has a permanent bus stop for interstate and intra-state buses with parking space for 10 buses at a time. The site also acts as a connection between the railway, metro and bus stop. It also has spaces for leisure activities ti attract the crowd to use public transport.
The site has a gradual slope towards the south east

introduction The Great Lake tribes were a group of people who lived by the lake, with their main occupation as fishing and agriculture. They wore colorful prints and lived in Thatch tents. I chose my theme to be a mix of the tribal culture with modern furniture to fit the present needs of the society.

05 PUBLIC PARK DESIGN
This project was to improve the land use of a site beside the Hulimavu lake, and to provide it with functions that will benefit the people and the government officials of the area. The Hulimavu lake committee intends to remove the garbage collection on site and utilize the space as a leisure area for the surrounding residents. The Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE) have also volunteered to propose a beneficial land use for the spaces around the lake that are turning into dumping grounds for waste. Location : Bangalore, India Project type: Live Project Client: Hulimavu Lake committee Year: 2021

Garbage Accumulation
This is a project to improve the surrounding areas of the Hulimavu lake and make it a productive space for the residents and the environment. I was given the task to design a park as per the requirements of the Hulimavu lake committee. I also get to interact with some architects from the firm ATREE, who came to help us find Eco-positive solutions for the spaces around the lake.
Eco-positive solutions proposed by ATREE for the area surrounding the lake : Empty road used for circulation
Option 1: Food Forest Using the concept of layering present in forest but will mostly have productive species of plants. Option 2: Butterfly park Uses a mix of seasonal plant species to encourage year round pollination.
