PROJECT NAME : POMOLONIE
The fruit I received was the Jamalac, which exhibits distinct characteristics. The Jamalac has a unique shape resembling that of a pear, tapering from a pointed top to a substantial volume at the bottom. Notably, it possesses a central void with a specific size and shape, accompanied by a stem connecting the upper and lower parts.Drawing inspiration from the Jamalac, I conceived a museum concept encompassing two distinct areas. The first area is a communal space featuring exhibition areas and a cafeteria, fostering social interaction. The second area provides a more private setting, allowing individuals or small groups to work independently, yet still encouraging engagement with the contrasting spaces.

The objective of this exercise was to transform a fruit or vegetable into a livable space. The project posed the challenge of transitioning from the representation of a sculpture inspired by the fruit or vegetable to the creation of a functional living space. The process between these two stages required careful consideration to ensure that the final concept diverged from the literal form of the fruit or vegetable, while still incorporating its distinctive characteristics.

The objective of this activity was to acquire knowledge about various artistic mediums suitable for drawing. Additionally, we explored techniques for incorporating shadows and effects into our artwork. Moreover, we explored the concept of capturing different perspectives and translating them onto paper.
This enjoyable new exercise involved developing a scene as part of our project. Alongside the scene, we were required to create a script that would be rehearsed and recorded with various sound effects for the final video production. Ultimately, our goal was to produce a brief video that effectively brings our story to life.

JAITOO NOOTAN ASHUTOSHThis marked the final project for our semester, primarily focused on urban planning. We were presented with three site options and tasked with developing them, commencing with a thorough site analysis and progressing through subsequent stages. The project initially encompassed a broad scope due to the extensive territory under consideration, prompting us to make a decisive choice regarding which site we intended to concentrate our efforts on. Each of the three sites had distinct contextual factors, and I ultimately opted for Cite Vallijee as the focal point for my approach, a compact residential area referred to as “Cite.”
The Cite Vallijee is a vibrant hub of culture and youthful talent within our country. However, its potential is constrained by the pervasive influence of drugs, which hampers the residents’ abilities. Consequently, the objective of my project was to pinpoint a densely populated area at the heart of the area and establish a compelling incentive for community members to come together. Simultaneously, the design aimed to foster a sense of mutual observation among residents, creating an environment where the negative influence of drugs would be minimised.

SECTION A-A
The core concept of our last semester’s project remained consistent, with a primary emphasis on urban planning. However, this time, we were provided with a solitary site to work on, and our responsibilities included its comprehensive development. The project commenced with a thorough site analysis and then advanced through subsequent phases. In its initial stages, the project encompassed a vast scale, primarily due to the extensive size of the area being examined, necessitating a critical decision regarding the specific site we would focus on for development. This time, the project centered around an aging structure located in the capital of Mauritius, known as La Caserne.
Le co-working et cafétéria
“Isolé devant d’une barrière de La Caserne, faite de vieille et pierre véritable et non de ciment comme tout ce qui se fait aujourd’hui.”
By integrating a park that seamlessly coexists with these historic structures, the area could be given a fresh appearance and a new identity within the urban environment. The idea of experiencing a neoclassical park within the city of Port Louis, capital of Mauritius, becomes a viable reality.
JAITOO NOOTAN
The infusion of workers, shopkeepers, and residents converging in this location breathes new life into the place. Two former SSU and Traffic Branch buildings, reimagined as shared workspaces with a cafeteria, encourage movement and interaction between these newly created park spaces. The striking stone facades, adorned with pitched roofs, preserve the site’s colonial architectural heritage. The combination of pitched roofs and awnings casts ample shade on the ground, ensuring comfortable mobility within the park.
The new roof’s metal cladding, as well as the midnight blue window and door frames, harmoniously blend with the texture of the existing stone, bestowing a matte finish to the facade. To set them apart from the facade, all windows and doors are framed by concrete sills with a brick-like appearance. It’s a transformation that has turned the once inaccessible barracks into a park accessible to all, a testament to the power of revitalizing historic spaces.

JAITOO NOOTAN ASHUTOSHPROJECT NAME : TRINITY
Our concept focused on the creation of a spacious roof that would shelter the three blocks, each comprising different apartment typologies. These blocks would be interconnected at each level by an organic platform. One significant challenge in the project was to establish a seamless transition between private and communal spaces. To address this, we incorporated a semi-private platform that allowed individuals to enjoy privacy in their rooms, along with a dedicated loggia. Additionally, a large public space was designed on the first floor of the building, encouraging social interaction and community engagement. By integrating these elements, we aimed to strike a balance between individual privacy and fostering a sense of collective living within the project. The management of rainwater played a vital role, considering the local climate and the need to prevent water accumulation.
The project encompassed three distinct sites where we dedicated our efforts throughout the semester. The primary objective was to construct social housing that harmonized with the climate and environment of each location. Just like Mauritius, Curepipe exhibits microclimates within its different regions. Situated on the central plateau, Curepipe experiences a humid atmosphere and frequent rainfall. The main bioclimatic challenge revolved around effectively managing rainwater and preventing water accumulation in the housing design.

PROJECT
We successfully recreated all the essential elements of the project, including site plans, ground floor plans, sections, and structural details of the houses. Our aim was to present these elements in a clear and comprehensible manner, allowing others to understand the project’s use of interior and exterior spaces, as well as the crucial relationship between the two.
An intriguing aspect we encountered was the influence of Japanese culture. The Japanese building culture introduced me to a novel and distinctive approach. In this culture, walls played a modular role, enabling the transformation of interior spaces into either communal or intimate settings. The Tatami room, a significant component of Japanese culture, typically represented the intimate space. Walls functioned as facilitators, regulating the level of intimacy and collectivity within the interior spaces.

A curated list of diverse vacation home projects was provided, and the analysis was to be conducted based on specific criteria. The selected vacation home was to be examined in a systematic manner, starting from a broader perspective and gradually zooming in to a more detailed level. The analysis began by studying the home’s context and its interaction with the surrounding environment and location. As the analysis progressed to a smaller scale, the focus shifted towards spatial aspects, construction methods, utilization, and the architectural stance adopted by the vacation home.

NOM DU PROJECT : MAISON WEEK-END
The objective of this project was to construct a minimalistic shelter that fosters a unique connection between the inhabitant’s body and a natural element within the environment. As part of the project, we were required to select a remote location in Mauritius and integrate it as the site for a groundbreaking endeavor. During the analysis phase, a key question revolved around examining the soil, its characteristics, and the topography of the area. This inquiry aimed to determine the optimal construction approach that would adapt the concept to the specific conditions of this particular location.
PROJECT NAME : INBETWEEN
I selected Bras d’eau as the site for my project, located in the northeastern region of Mauritius. This secluded area serves as a nature reserve, situated far from villages and boasting a diverse range of indigenous flora and bird species. My proposal involved constructing a platform that could be installed at three distinct levels within the trees, while ensuring their preservation. The aim was to provide visitors with a unique perspective of the nature reserve, simulating the bird’s eye view of the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the project included the incorporation of three communal spaces, designated for social interaction and encounters between individuals.
