INTRODUCTION This Architecture Portfolio is a compilation of selected works of mine done in my academic, personal and professional career. I am a student of architecture from India, pursuing Masters Degree in Architecture at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. I believe that learning is a process and so as an Architecture graduate I always acquire the knowledge from each project I am assigned to do and learn from the experiences. I have always been the one who trusts in the process leading to the output. This in turn gave me a never ending appetite towards learning new things. I hope these are evident from the variety of works in my Portfolio. Having grown up in India and progressed on to Germany, I became curiously fascinated by the contrast in living standards between European and Asian Cities. Since I have had such contrasting experiences in both the worlds, I tend to bring out the best of both worlds in every work I do. I believe that Architecture is not only about designing buildings, innovation and technological advancements but also about being responsible towards the social and environmental effects of structures in the contexts we create. My ideology is evident with the works displayed in my portfolio and in every work throughout my so far short career

Re-Identifying an Urban Poor Settlement, Chennai

Academic Institution

Project Year

Nov 2016 - May 2017

Chennai is the fourth largest metropolitan city in India, extending for about 429 sq.km area, with a population of about 4,681,087. A total of 29% of Chennai population resided in slums as of 2011. According to the 2011 slum population Survey of India, 31% of Chennaities were below poverty line. It is second in the list among Mumbai (40%) and Kolkata (30%). One of such slums is in Saidapet that had been the threshold of Chennai, where the city had met the hinterland for centuries. Before becoming a part of Chennai, ‘Home Garden’ Saidapet served as headquarters of the Chengalpet district. Today century-old colleges, dhobi ghats and quaint bungalows still dot this area. In this project, I redesigned this Urban Poor settlement to make it a self-sustaining society. The main physical attributes of this slum are substandard

houses,

insanitary

conditions,

insufficient water supply, no proper drainage and lack of facilities for Waste management. I designed it, with primary focus on proffering the slum with the above-mentioned basic amenities, in such a way that this solution can be identified as a prototype for riverside Urban Poor settlements with similar context.

EXISTING SITE

Existing Layout of the settlement abutting the Adyar River - Site Area 0.85 Hectare

CONTEXT This Site, being situated on the banks of a main river in Chennai, has it's history dating from late 1800s. It is a densely populated area, with a high number of 4153 people per hectare. This urban slum is a typical centre of irregular and unsafe housing, unhygienic and insanitary surrounding even without the basic civic amenities. It is also associated with higher level of poverty. This slum of an area of 0.8 Hectare lacks a wide range of basic urban services including water supply, sewerage, and solid waste management but there is no lack for social infrastructure like schools, hospitals, market and so on. This community has people with agricultural background, which can be a key to a sustainable development. These people can pioneer the way to Urban Horticulture in a great scale when the basics are set.

them. One storey housing with no services and roads contribute to the rest of the problems. Therefore, stacking houses one over the other helps create common circulation space and also reduce congestion. The circulation space thus created helps in various ways to avoid most of the prevailing issues. Beneath the newly created circulation spaces, the storm water drains, sewage pipes and vermi-compost pits could be set up to protect the slum during heavy rains and also keeps the ground above clean. The spaces that split the housing zones, allows for free circulation, social interaction and green corridors to transform the slum to habitable and a self-sustained society.

DWELLING UNITS

DESIGN As per this design, the community would be self sufficient and can help themselves with their basic needs. The treated Grey Water and Storm water is stored across the Site and reused for irrigation purposes. This drastically reduces the consumption and prevents waterways from flooding The outlet water is treated with a terraced Wetland System with locally available marshland plants. My concept in dwelling units is incrementational Development, which plays major role in a community’s sustenance. The users can expand their dwelling as per their wish but only within the given plot area. Restrooms are provided and well treated with the water-supply.

Women and Children are the most vulnerable to the threats posed by the society, especially in this low income group. A very basic setup like a fully functional Primary school and a Women welfare centre takes care a little responsibility to reduce ill effects of attacks before and after.

Being one of its kind of an Institute in Asia, the project has been designed to strive a dynamic relationship between the sports player and the sea through its architectural language and spaces. Commissioned in 2010, through an International level competition organized by NIWS-GSIDC, Goa, the design brief stated the development of National Institute of Water Sports at Miramar, Goa, India as an Iconic building. I was assigned to prepare Architectural GFC working drawings for the roof structure as well as the plans for the building. My major contribution was in Fabrication of the bi-directional Curve roof detailing, where I learnt a great deal about deconstruction of a complex structure and detailing those split modules to make it work. This invaluable project also taught me the importance of organised work and professional coordination

and majorly in making detailed drawings and presentation. Shivamogga or Shimoga is a city and the district headquarters of Shivamogga District in the central part of the state of Karnataka, India. With a population of 3,60,000 people this city is the gateway for the hilly region of the Western Ghats. The city lies on the banks of Tunga river at a height of 571m above MSL. The project was phased into two, of which the north bank was the first. The clients requirement was to develop a river-front that evolves to be the hub of public life in the city. We held the local demography and culture as a definitive guide to build an inclusive design that was also extremely suited for the given locale. A 7m high retaining wall was actually built around 2011 to protect the banks against floods. The area between the property boundary and this wall was the given site.

In the recent years, construction field is experiencing an exponential growth in terms of new equipments, machineries and automation. Modern day equipments in constrution sites are based on the traditional construction process but enhanced with technology. The combination of new techology and demands led to new construction processes, with which the construction work can be effortlessly and efficiently taken care of instead of inefficient traditional methods which are indeed time consuming. Goal of this project is to identify a construction process and conceptualize into a Highly dynamic and Interactive construction site. I chose to develop the construction process of fabrication of Bi- Directional Curved Roof members, which in a traditional way is highly time consuming and requires lot of man power. In this project, I designed a concept not only for this problem to be solved, but also for other useful applications in the construction process. I learned to make an interactive physical model in this project with movable parts in the model, with help of Servo Motors and Arduino UNO board.

Participants of L’EAU, under the supervision of Canan Çelik, M. Sc. Antonia Stratmann, M. Sc have research the area of Rhenishes Revier. Seven groups focused on different parts of the region drawing from it many valuable conclusions. The main foucus of the research were building typologies as well as landscape typologies analysis. As the work progressed every group developed indicators and sub-indicators naturally resulting from first analysis of given area of Rhenishes Revier. Indicators in the research have been used as a tool of analysis. The work resulted in many conclusions and mission statement as visions for the whole region. I had been assigned in a group of two, in which we had to work on the area in Rheinsiches Revier bordering Netherlands, which includes the Districts of Heinsberg, Wassenberg, Selfkant, Waldfeucht,
