Archidots- Award for excellence in Architectural design | Winner

This semester’s design brief was to create a building from a mere idea to a functional netzero-energy-water-waste building with as much efficiency as possible.We were to design a hous ing society for the resident doctors and nurses of Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu.

In Tribhavan’s vision, the building blocks are positioned, modified, and tweaked to respond to the topography and climate of the site Kathmandu.

Concept and Form Development

An interesting characteristic of the design is the relationship between built-up and unbuilt spaces.We wanted the building to match the environment, to have voids and cuts that allowed for views of the Himalayas in the spaces between the buildings, and allow the sun and the air into the building on the same day. It is this intermediate space that acts as the entrance to the apartments, activating it and creat ing the necessary neighborhood relationship.

Creating clusters with apartments and building core.

3.

Extruding balconies of different apartments to produce mutual shading on the whole building.

1. 2. 4.

Subtracting apartments blocks to create recreational terrace spaces for housing occupants.

Generating final form with facade, balconies and shared terrace spaces.

The site is located adjacent to the Chakrapath (Ring Road) in Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal. The residential housing is part of a larger plan to develop the site into a superspeciality hospital under the Tribhuvan University.

Site Area: 9000 sq. m

Site connectivity Site relief map Site drainage map

Site plan

Blocks are placed on site to avoid obstruc tion of sunlight, creating communal spaces. Spaces like parks, badminton courts and OAT are provided to increase community interaction. The organic shapes of the land scaping allow users to interact with others and help them feel connected.

Modules

In order to achieve mutual shading between units, balconies, kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms are planned in such a way that they would extend and encroach on each other during construction. The building blocks include several breakout spaces like terrace gardens helping to create connections between the different buildings.

Facade design

ALGAE BIO-REACTIVE FACADE

The secondary façade system integrates photobioreactors (PBR) to allow for a building integrated generation and utiliza tion of biomass from microalgae and solar thermal heat.

The innovative façade system is the result of three years of research and development by Colt International.

Algae bioreactor building envelopes absorbs CO2, generate electricity, store thermal mass on-site and provide interactive shading have great potential to improve the indoor environ ment quality, reduce the energy use of a building.

Increase speed of construction | Raw material is fully furnished | Carbon sequestering | Weather durability | Light weight and strong | Offsite construction | Reduced labor costs |Tolerances in millimeters | Improved safety

Proposed water cycle

Water sustainability Energy sustainability

WATER SYSTEMS

To reduce the per capita water comsumption by nearly 55% from the baseline figure of 135 LPD we used low flowng efficient plumbing fixtures with flow rates decreased to 50-60% per cent from conventional plumbing fixtures. For reducing irrigation water demand by 35% we used native species, Drip irriga tion system on site and used treated greywater and blackwater for landscaping irrigation. For stormwater management we de signed grassed swales and infiltration trenches on site

For On site wastewater treatment we used DEWATS with 90% efficiency and plant.

We have created a net-positive water cycle on our site

Total no. of occupants - 240

• After using low flow fixtures we are able to achieve 55% reduction in per head water consumption.

• We are able to achieve 35% reduction in annual landscape irrigation water requirements.

ON SITE WASTE WATER TREATMENT

For on-site wastewater treatment, we used DEWATS Efficiency: 90%

Total capacity of plant: 70 KLD

FINAL NUMBERS

EPI REDUCTION

Final EPI 13.45 kWh/m2/year, 86% reduction from GRIHA benchmark. Generation EPI- 27.12 kWh/m2/year

Renewable energy

SOLAR ENERGY GENERATION

The site receives an average direct solar irradiation of 5.51 kWh/ m2/day; giving a huge potential for solar power generation. The PV system array has been tilted at the angle 30° to optimize the solar plant performance and for easy maintenance.

THE URBAN DECK

Semester 3|Academic |Individual

House Extension, Ghaziabad

One of the most challenging and motivational tasks an architect faces is designing a house that deals with space constraints and the customer’s re quirements. In general, all houses have the same program, with the only difference being the scales.

During this semester’s design brief, it was requested that one extend one’s existing house with a ground floor built-up area not exceeding 70 square meters.

A house extension is intended to be a cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing alternative to existing homes. An extension will provide space for work stations, bedrooms, a kitchen, and leisure spaces.

Site plan

Design ideation for the extension began with the block on the highest floor so there wouldn’t be a disconnect from the surrounding area. A connection is established between the top and lower blocks and more functions are incorporated into them. And then Designing spaces be gan with the division of the program of needs into upper and lower volumes.

Floor plans and Roof plan

On the Ground Floor, the entrance is through a double heighted porch, which has one side that lets in the lush greenery of the lawn. As one enters the home, one will find a living room and further back a theater room, which is a private and undisturbed space.

The stairs connecting the living to the first floor opens up to the kitchen and dining area. A bedroom on the first floor enjoys plenty of natural sunlight and offers a broad view of the surroundings.

Ground floor and First floor plan

Steps are experienced sequentially and hierarchically within a choreographed procession of the floor, keep ing in mind the connection with the existing house ter race. The floor is designed to provide leisure spaces that can be comfortably occupied during leisure time. The study and work area opens onto a small terrace garden which can also be accessed from the terrace of the existing house.

Second floor plan

The roofing plan of the extension is a design of woodshingled roof that catches one’s eye from a distance with its steep slope. A good balance is achieved be tween the green terrace, balcony area and the covered spaces.

Visitor Center, Mehrangarh fort, Jodhpur

As part of our design brief this semester, we were tasked with designing a Visitor center at any historic site of our choice with a basic area program. The concept was to feel connected to Jodhpur city while making it feel like an oasis amongst the hustle and bustle. Visitors to Jodhpur would be provided an authentic experience of living within the histori cal context of the city by providing a tactile and sensual experience.

Ground floor plan

First floor plan

Concept

The idea was to retain a sense of connec tion with the Jodhpur city and yet create the feeling of being in an oasis within the hustle and bustle of things. The core discussion centered around providing visitors a tactile and sensual and authentic experience of liv ing within the historical context of the city of Jodhpur.

The sense of arrival – The sense of me andering through narrow Streets of the Jodhpur city has been extended into the design through the architectural planning.

Bringing the Fort into the site and integrating it seamlessly with the Visitor Center appears to be simple thanks to the monochromatic palette of Jodhpur Sandstone in all its vari ous hues and textures.

HIDEOUT |Competiton

Housing for all ( Individual ) This competition is aimed at conceptualizing & executing the residence designs by using vernacular structures & materials to fulfill the demographics’ contextual needs.

Hideout, is a three-bedroom duplex with a breathtaking view of the lush greenery of Assam. A large portion of the material palette is dominated by locally available bamboo. Through a contemporary approach, vernacular building systems are reformulated.

The plan follows an orthogonal grid with one of the bedrooms located on the first level along with the living area and the kitchen. The sunken slab and the double-height interior on this level give character to the living space. The big Windows on two facades provide an unrestricted view of the beautiful nature around.

AICTE INTERNSHIP |Documentation

Mission Amrit Sarovar-Jal Dharohar Sanrakshan ( Group of 5) During our internship, we conducted site surveys, documented Lake Purana Qila, and developed rejuvenation proposals.

BLUE Network

Yamuna has levied about 1.5 kms. Once it used to flow adjacent to the Qila. The lake at Qila currently is an Isolated entity, not connected to the any other water body.

GREEN Network

The open green system is well connected by an aisle of trees. Green space network helps the microclimate of the area as well.

STREET Network

The arterial streets with radial street network of Lutyen’s Delhi lead to the iconic Mathu ra Road. Most roads are arterial roads with system of collector roads and few local roads.

Purana Qila (Old Fort) is located on Mathura Road, about 2 km North of Humayun’s Tomb. It was built on a rocky surface on the right bank of the river Yamuna which has now shifted its course about 1.5 km in the eastern direction. The existing moat is adjacent to the Qila on the North-West edge. The moat/lake is approx 5 acres in size surrounded by vegetation on all sides. The monument and complex are protected by ASI, India and both the Qila and the lake are ticketed for the users. Purana Qila (Old Fort), the citadel dates back to the 1530s but what makes it an urban artifact is the fact that the site is believed to be the site of Indraprastha, the capital of Pandavas.

Historical Evolution

Purana Qila (Old Fort) , the citadel dates back to 1530’s but what makes it an urban artefact is the fact that the site is believed to be the site of Indraprastha, the capital of pandavas. The excavations have revealed the materiality (bricks) of the fort to be dating around 4th and 7th century AD. The citadel is a part of one of the original seven cities of cities - Dinapanah. Humayun and Sher Shah at different timelines have contributed to the building of this fortress in late half of 15th century. The ruins of Siri were used as a quarry to build the Purana Qila.

2.

This citadel used to be an island fortress reached from the mainland on the west before the river Yamuna levied. The plan is oblong in shape and was adjacent to Yamuna on its east end. The causeway was a bridge between the water and land. The gateways were controlled from the fortress.

Sher Shah Created other monuments inside the Qila: 1539.45 AD.

Water heritage and city of Dinpanah

1. As a part of larger system of Barapullah Basin, location of Purana Qila is strategic as it protected the Qila against the as saults and attacks.

Dinpanah ( asylum of faith) on the site of ancient Indraprastha is one of a kind structure that was made on the banks of Yamuna by raising the ground and using the site and its context to a potential never imagined by any of the other cities in Delhi in 15th century. Humayun Raised the fortress with Darwaza’s: 1533-39 AD.

3.

Proposals were made in the 1900s to either form a lake between the citadel and mainland or to surround it with the water like in former days of glory by constructing the band of water across Jamuna were put forward, ultimately going ahead with the lake/ moat formation which we see today.

4. The land on southern end eventually dried up when river leived.

5.

The project to revive the lake was undertaken by the Ar chaeological Survey of India and the National Buildings Construc tion Corporation as part of the government’s ‘Adopt a Monument’ scheme in 2018.

Purana Qila lake now is bedecked with pretty fountains, with a promenade running all around.

Lake Bed

Laying of the 1.5mm EPDM membrane below the lake bed was done to reduce the seepage to the subsurface drastically. Impermeable mem brane of Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Terpolymer and through a well-de signed rainwater harvesting and ground water recharge system and creating a sustainable habitat.

Vision

The vision is to bring back the lost glory of such an exemplary site by creating the lake as a core magnet to the population. T he Site sits in the central Delhi amongst prominent modern landmarks and is an urban artifact with high historical value. Hence, to open the visual axis and redesigning the lake edges and boundary edges in a nuanced way that shall fit into this complex urban fabric yet flour ish to be an isolated paradise for the nature lovers. Repurposing the area through a broader strategy of concentric looping and routes shall pro vide the user differential opportunities. Humans have shared a sacred relationship with water, bringing back the importance of water and enhacing human interaction through various interventions is the key ideopanium of the project.

Key proposals around lake

1. Riparian edge

Riparian edges will influence the fauna and aquatic ecosystems and help maintain the biodiversity in and around the lake. It will also contribute to the views and improve enjoyment for pedestrians on footpaths and bikeways through supporting foreshore way networks. It will create space for paddle craft (boating) again.

Shade and nutrients from terrestrial vegetation mitigate water temperature changes and are a vital source of energy in aquat ic food webs. The lost aquatic life can be restored through these.

3. Kid’s play area

Play Area will attract a distinct section of the population add ing to the tourism at the site. It will generate liveliness in the now neglected and lackluster spaces around the lake.

4. Terraced Landscape

Terraced Landscape will connect the Lake with the circumscrib ing pathway and serve as spaces for relaxation & recreation for the visitors without compromising on the environment.

5. Encouraging Social interaction

Furniture arrangement encourages social interaction

2. Sculpture Garden

Creating a Sculpture Garden will reinforce a sense of place and form a relationship between the garden, surrounding the lake, and the monumental architecture. Sculpture installations emphasizing the historical significance of the site will define a purpose to the present vacant space along with appreciating nature.

6. Redesigning boundary wall
