HUMANIZATION OF HEALTHCARE THROUGH ARCHITECTURE

- A Holistic Approach for Geriatric care

Why do we always experience anxiety while we are awaited in the hospital lobby?

Why do all hospitals seem similar with the pain walls, medical odor and suffocating atmosphere almost creating a negative or uncomfortable ambience?

Aim: The main aim is to study how a holistic approach in a healthcare setting can overlap with modern-day western medicine, and go beyond the regular treatment of symptoms in order to support more than just the body.

Project Details: Final Year Thesis project

Semester: Semester 10

Guide: Ar. Krishnan Venkateshwaran

SITE SELECTION CRITERIA

The stereotypical image of healthcare facilities that focus on functional and practical aspects is due to what we see in our surroundings.

But in an ideal scenario the priority would be towards the user’s experience as the ambience of a place has psycological effects in our body.

Holistic care (mind, body and soul) Medical needs Biopsychosocial Factors to create humanized spaces

Geriatric not considered as a branch of study They deal with physical, psychological and economic issues

04 | SPORTS MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM

- For Rifle Shooting, Delhi

What is a memorial? What is a museum?

The project aims to explore memorial architecture from the socio-cultural and aesthetic point of view. A sport was to be chosen by establishing its connect to the country (giving a tribute to an athlete or a team) and showing its importance through memory and exhibition.

INTRODUCTION

Rifle shooting, a sport teaching discipline, dedication, concentration and focusing on the aim. It is not very well recognised as a sport in India, hence this sport is chosen to educate people about the way rifle shooting began in India and how much it can teach people.

Ground floor plan

The structure focuses on the sport and the sport and the atheletes known for playing this sport. It showcases the oldest to the newest rifles and equipments required in the sport.

The memorial, museum and the cafe are connected in such a way that the entrances are easily accessible from all the structures and the training centre has direct access from the admin to avoid confusion.

The interior of the museum has an installation of a tree continuing from the ground floor to the top floor. It is a symbol of gratitude towards all the players of rifle shooting in India.

05 | ANALYSING A PUBLIC SPACE - HERITAGE STREET, AMRITSAR

- Urban Design

Project Details: Urban Design

Semester: Semester 7

Guide: Ar. Mugdha BA

From a small township established on the banks of a holy lake in the year 1608 to a densely populated city in 2000 , Amritsar saw a rapid growth in its population while the architectural landscape kept evolving in both planned as well as organic developments resulting in a complex growth of the city.

TIMELINE OF DEVELOPMENT IN AMRITSAR

Post Independence development

Wall city development

Hriday scheme

Completion of heritage street

Heritage street before Heritage street after

The major identified concerns were: Insufficient parking, lack of tourist infrastructure and pedestrian friendly zones and lack of signages.

The Union ministry of urban development launched the Hriday scheme in 2015 with the objective of preserving the aesthetic appeal of the city and its historic built, providing ease of access, security and information to and ultimately promote the holistic development of heritage cities. The zones and roads were identified of critical focus development and management in this city which radiated outside from the nucleus which is the Golden Temple. The project thus, finds precedence in the scheme as an opportunity for systematic interventions to protect the center from environmental pressures generated by ill planned development.

Street has minimal landscape with plantations in the centre of the street

OBJECTIVES OF HRIDAY SCHEME

The implementation realized a notable ease of movement. The essence of the city’s uniqueness was enhanced at the traffic nodes by aesthetic statues and art. It was also used as an opportunity to enhance the aesthetic of the city and make it more tourist friendly. The façade of structures on both the sides were renovated in the original historic fashion, wide padestrin walkways were built with organic style and benches were given. The pedestrianization and façade improvements brought about increased footfall for the business owners positively impacting the economy of the city as a whole.

Looking Into The Kaleidoscope

“Every single time I look at you, I see fragments of them and parts of me; A different story formed, infinite diversities, escape the world and I look within.”

Life is the same. Moving ever forward, the past cannot be relived. We sometimes review the past tovalidate our story. When we revisit the past, we have a different perception of it than when we wereactually living the experience. Yet as time passes, we lose some of the exchanges and their meaning. Everything from the past is now seen through the lens of the passage of time, the changing of ourmemory, and the perception of the present. What if we lived life through the view of a kaleidoscope? Imagine every moment being unique unto itself. Imagine every experience viewed and appreciated for its colour, its shape and its beauty. What awareness would life bring? Nothing stays the same, even when we think it does. The important thing is to be able to see the change as it’s happening, acknowledge the shift in the patterns of our lives, and be able to adapt to them.

“We’ll descend into the shattered pieces, sit in, contempt; We are pieces to asunder, our path littered with stars made of glass.”

You have the power to embrace the nature of the kaleidoscope, to keep moving. growing, and seeing the beauty in each new perspective, as a natural part of your journey to becoming the person you are meant to be.

To me any form of art means escape from everyday. It enables me to enter a peaceful zone and it’s so blissfully satisfying to see the image in my head manifest into a physical form.

Rangoli Art

Rangoli is similar to sand art originated from the Indian subcontinent whereby patterns are created by hand on the floor or ground usually materials such as coloured rice, coloured sand, quartz powder or flower petals.

Rangoli patterns might be straightforward geometric shapes, depictions of deities, or flower and petal shapes that fit the occasion. Intricate designs created by various people can also be used to create them. Placing the geometric patterns in and around household yagna shrines might reflect strong religious significance.

Rangoli Designs

Diwali 2022: This rangoli design was inspired by Lord Krishna and the pattern was inspired by peacock features that Lord Krishna is believed to wear in Hindu mythology.

Canvas painting using acrylic paints

Diwali 2021: This rangoli design was inspired by peacocks and traditional rangoli designs.

Diwali 2020: This rangoli design was inspired by Lord Ganesha.
