Tropical Facade Performance Singapore
2016-17|DCC Lab, SUTD Professional Research Funded by SUTD
This project is aimed at understanding the annual NV potential and related thermal impacts across 10 typical residential façade designs located within 3 urban typologies in the dense, tropical context of Singapore. To inform this analysis, isothermal CFD simulations were carried out to understand how variable wind conditions affect the volumetric flow rates through openings. CFD calculations were made across two scales of varying detail—urban and building façade. The outputs of the former are used as the boundary inlet conditions for the latter. From these calculations, wind pressure and discharge coefficient values were calculated. These outputs were used to create a controlled airflow network (AFN) NV simulation (Walton 1989) inside of a transient thermal simulation tool for annual performance analysis. The discussion of these results seeks to inform future design workflows for a holistic understanding of thermal and fluid interactions surrounding design for natural ventilation in dense urban contexts.

CFD simulations were carried out to understand how variable wind conditions affect the volumetric flow rates through openings with respect to varying façade designs and opening porosity, shape, location, and the presence of local exterior geometry such as balconies or shades. CFD calculations were made across two scales of varying detail—urban and building façade (as shown in tfugures above). From these calculations, wind pressure and discharge coefficient values, Reynolds number were seperately calculated. The variation in results is clearly shown in the table. This project is still in progress, hence only selected information on trends, thermal, daylighting and AFN model simulation results are shown. 6

Both daylighting and solar heat gains vary significantly within similar values of the RETV metric itself. Solar heat gains vary, to some extent, because RETV does not account for diffuse shading.
Surface averaged Cp data of unsheltered rectangular buildings from ASHRAE Average Cp data from CFD simulation of point block units with urban context
Urban context, façade design, including exterior obstructions can make a large difference in the amount of wind driven pressure available to drive flow across a design. Currently simple thermal models cannot discern these differences. Airflow network are based on wind tunnel studies from the 1980’s without comples façade detail and urban context. Therefore,a standard assumption of 0.65 leads BES-AFN programs to overpredict annual comfort by 10%. Overall units in the point block typology have shown better ventilation potential (18 ACH) and opening performance (0.6). The openable WWR has a higher impact than the Cd value on the ventilation potential of a unit.

Active Flow Seperation Singapore
A multi-disciplinary approach is used to explore the design of novel building forms that pattern airflow to enhance passive cooling effects in warm environments. A series of physiological experiments that correlate specific air flow patterns with an increased cooling effect form the premise of this study. These physiological experiments found that sinusoidal patterns of air velocity create significantly more cooling effect than the same mean velocity at a constant

2017-18|IDC Lab, SUTD Professional Research Funded by MIT-IDC grant speed. This implies that warm urban environments could be made to feel cooler without using significant energy to increase the overall flow. To test the applicability of this premise a series of experiments were performed to establish how effectively surface features and building form could pattern ambient air. These experiments show correlations between surface features and patterns of more comfortable airflow.

These studies as a collective indicate that specific airflow patterns with dominant frequency distribution can provide more cooling sensations specially in conditions where airflow velocity is limited and cannot be elevated. Currently, airflow fluctuation frequency is a criterion that remains unaccounted for in empirical models of thermal comfort. The comparative study from past experiments suggest air flow patterns can be considered as another control factor to offset increased temperature in warm indoor as well as dense, stuffy outdoor environments.

The experimental results showcase that airflow behaviour and pattern can be actively altered through applying textures on surfaces. These airflow patterns can be controlled to some extent to create patterns that correspond to those found to create cooling sensation to building occupants. These fluctuations are achieved without significant increase in air speed and in complete absence of any mechanical means. This research establishes a direct relationship between surface texture and periodic air flow velocity fluctuations. Though preliminary, this study introduces a workflow and potential direction for modifying airflow in cities with relatively small interventions/variation in overall form low input energy. Further studies examining turbulent models and moving/actuated textures are ongoing.

Revitalising the informal city Kolkata, India
About 55% of the urban population of India lives in slums. This dissertation project endeavors to think beyond “housing” to provide a “comfortable, habitable and economically viable environment” in Kolkata. Lessons from vernacular helped generate a modular unit which can be replicated in different urban contexts. The unit provides good solar control and high permeability to air flow and uses of low cost local materials, such as mud bricks,

bamboo and wattle and daub for the alleviation of slum conditions, mediating community participation and give spatial form to the resident’s ambitions. This forms part of a holistic approach to facilitate the transformation of slum typologies directly into 21st-century sustainable communities, with on-site energy generation to not only offset their energy demands but also provide them with another source of income.

The Workflow:
concept
The idea of the project was simple: to create a simple modular unit that can be built via public participation. It would change the material of its envelope according to its affordances. Then these modules cluster up according to the existing urban context that needs to be redeveloped and therefore, create different typologies on a building scale. In order to accommodate th existing slum population, the clusters develop vertically. The porosity required for optimised ventilation in hot and humid climate (such as in kolkata) is maintained even in building scale through the sporadic voids which doubles up as interstitial social spaces for the outdoor loving slum inhabitants.

Gradual Urban renewal: This development process will happen on site, it will be worthwhile to mention that; an additional empty plot was also taken into consideration along with the test plot of 15000sqm for the urban design. This additional plot which is just 75m away from the site would help lower the population density of the test plot and contribute towards the smooth transition of the urban design of the slum.
A section of the slum inhabitants relocate to the newly built apartments on the adjacent plots
The newly emptied plots are used to build more prototypes. The next set of slum inhabitants relocate.

I was involved in the project during the execuetion phase on site. I was responsible for developing detailed ‘good for construction’ drawings for site release. And also co-ordination of structural, electrical and plumbing drawings with the architectural ones for clashes and their corrections before release. The towers ‘A’ and ‘F’, were the two tallest towers (37 floors) were the ones I was responsible for. Some responsibilities of towers C, D and E were also carried out by me.
The towers A and F have rotating floor plans. With large windows to open up vistas to the neighboring greenlands and the besutifully landscaped golfing area within the estate

Inhabitance tommorrow......A bioclimatic approach Bangalore, India
Considering, a global long term view of urban settlements, regional culture and climate change, it is clear that humanity is going to have to cluster, and to improve public transport and raise the density: our society must develop an ‘all-round’ approach to Sustainability if the human race is to adapt to climate change.
2013|NIT Patna Undergraduate thesis Individual work Marks: 87.7/100, Distinction
Tall Buildings can be acceptable if the density is high enough. This project thesis seeks to use ecological design approach for mixed-use tall buildings; to create a high-rise building that is inspired by both the urban and environmental aspects, with long term Sustainability at the core of my thinking. Inshort, I am calling this the “Bioclimatic Highrise”...

Strategies Remediate the site ecologically. Minimum site usage. Using bioclimatic design strategies. Try to design the building as a living machine. Encourage native species inhabitation. Create an scintillating environment that educates people about environmental awareness. A single building incorporating various programs, can literally bring multiple publics together. The building’s image would represent all of these groups, accentuating their interdependence. The garden city of Bangalore, is a fast growing metropolis. The exponential increase of population has called for urban sprawl in the city which is gorging up the greenfields of the city. So, in an effort to curb Urban sprawl, Green goes Vertical in this project.
Bangalore has an equatorial climate,which due to its high elevation is cooler and less humid than it is typical for Southern India. The site is an ecologically immature ecosystem. So care has to be taken to use the low impact areas and minimise site area. Maximising the green areas would be an added advantage.

Fig : shows the location of various offices and residential layout all around the site. We also have 4 lakes that will be visible from high-rise that will be built on-site. Thus making it more commercial viable.
CONCEPT

The open plan layout of the tower ensures that the occupant enjoys the advantages of daylight. As the user steps out from the elevator into the lift lobby, they recieve natural daylight and access to ventilation and in this way enjoy a greater awareness of place. Continous vertical landscaping intertwined with the building’s inorganic mass as a linked nexus with the site’s ecosystem horizontally at the ground plane. Enhancing better species interaction as well as lowering the ambient temperature. And the residential tower stands on the low impact area.

The building is basically a studio apartment that will be rented out to the aviation industry for temporary stay or overnightr halt by the staff members. The building gets its name “Z-CUBES” from two main features: “Z” comes from the form which the building is derived from and “CUBES” refer to the elevational feature of

SNN Villa Tamil Nadu, India
2013|DKA Pvt. Ltd. Internship Complete execution in BIM. The site is basically situated in the western region of madurai city. It is a housing project. The gated community consists of two types of villas: The Eastern villa and The Western villa. The design of the villas are similar. One is the mirror image of the other. The site also contains a small clubhouse for thr future community. There are a total of 54 villas in the site. My role in the project was to create a detailed Revit model of the two types of villas. This required me to create a BIM model merging both the structural and architectural drawing. This enabled me to find out maximum interferences that occured in both the drawings and solve them. Thereby resulting in minimum on-site mistakes and helped in speedy construction.

People’s Wharf Royal docks, London
People’s Wharf project was undertaken as a continuation of term 1 study to understand occupant comfort and an attempt to materialize team’s vision for a sustainable living and working in London. The aim of the project was to improve the quality of living in Central London but at the same time maintaining a high density mixed use development. The team succeeded in providing quality, affordable indoor spaces that can adhere to the changing lifestyle trends and also climate conditions without largely compromising on the density of neighbourhood. The public spine and plaza with its commercial spaces on the ground level provide the much needed urban life to the Royal Dock area that will contribute to the revitalisation of this area. The main lesson learnt during this design process was that for an inhabitant centred design, it is essential to provide a balance between the environmental performances,

Oindrila Ghosh | Research
2015|AA_SED Term 2 project Team work
occupant’s ability to adapt and in this case the river view. The project reinforced the fact that in high density scenarios quite often seen these days, where every square feet is vital to the developer, it is possible to provide occupant comfort indoors and outdoors by careful site planning ,orientation , the unit design , glazing design etc. Parametric tools taught this term proved to be of great use to study the environmental factors during site planning especially due to the large site area. The project also provided an opportunity to the team to use the SED methodology to confront this project in a clear and organized manner. Even though free running conditions have been achieved for most of the occupied hours in a year, it was realised that it is very important to achieve a balance between exposed and compact unit spaces. This was concluded because some of the interventions that were carried out in the project, like glazing the transitional spaces to achieve adaptive comfort might not be a very practical solution because of monetary constraints in real world projects.

Concept development Sun
The main idea of the concept was to see how solar carving as a tool can radically change the look of a mundane commercial master plan to something much more dynamic. The 2d master plan was design on the generic principles of urban design but the 3rd dimenion was factored by the use of solar fan and view of the river thames which would optimise the solar access in majority of the residential units
