PROJECT BRIEF: -To develop a High-end Residential Township in Pune city, India -To involve the Contours in the design process to its best potential for developing view points -To develop basement and stilt for parking requirements -To divide the site in HIG and MIG zones - To design 2BHK, 2.5 BHK, 3BHK, 3.5 BHK and 4.5 BHK units according to the zones - To provide solar water heating system to satisfy hot water for domestic needs - To provide Solar lighting source for external lightings - To use materials with recycled content which constitutes at least 5% of the total value or the materials used in the project
Slope of the ground is 1:4 and hence not advisable for construction Slope of the ground is 1:7 and hence construction can be taken up in the area with some cutting and filling Slope of the ground is 1:9. This area is largely flat and suitable for construction
These blocks are arranged in staggered manner to allow unobstructed views to majority of flats and to create community spaces in between
Development proposed is linear in nature along the north-south axis
Wind flow pattern for major part of the year

[ UB SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING ] PROJECT BRIEF:
COST: Material - $ 128 cut cost - $ 10.5 Total - $ 138.5 Waste - 0.3 Sq.Ft % of Waste - 1.87 Height - 10’ 2” Base - 17” x 7” Width : Height 1: 7.1 Drawing Time -4 hrs Cutting Time - 26 mins Assembly Time - 6 hrs Linear Feet of Cutting - 69’
- To construct a tower no less than 8’-0”out of 4’ X 4’ X 1/4” sheet of steel. Considering the aesthetics The main focus was on the stability, hieght/weight ratio, percantage of material waste and craft. CONCEPT: - The aim was to erect an asymmetrical zig-zag tower maintaing the centre of gravity of structure for stability. The tower sits on a flat base while the geometry allows a good height and less than 2% of waste.

- To construct a tower no less than 8’-0”out of 3’ X 5’ X 1/2” sheet of ply-wood. Considering the aesthetics The main focus was on the stability, hieght/weight ratio, percantage of material waste and craft. CONCEPT: - The aim was to erect a tower by occupying minimum area at the bottom while branching out at the top. The concept was derived by observing the structure of a tree.

RHINOCEROS + GRASSHOPPER + V-RAY
[ UB SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING ] Throughout the semester I experimented on Rhinoceros and Grasshopper to produce abstract geometry in 3D. V-Ray was used extensively to study the effects of natural and artificial lights on a given structure. Grasshopper a strong parametric tool made easy to understand and create convoluted geometry.
