Epilogue: An Atheist’s Adieu 01 Celebration of life center - Lots Road Power Station - Postgraduate - Thesis - 2018 Death is one of the inevitable events to take place in one’s life and with rapid urbanisation, cities are running out of burial space. Likewise, the non-religious/atheist population is projected to drastically increase in the forthcoming decades and they do not have a crematorium or a graveyard to call their own. This thesis project is an attempt to address these issues through a design of a celebration of life centre for atheists. It has been designed to be more publicly accessible and is a prototype that can be developed. A sense of creative immortality, where one’s name lives on through his/her works of art or literature and the importance given to music in non-religious/humanist funerals help form the framework of the design of this project.

Prescience, Sub-brand for John Lewis 02

Barber & parlour, Shoreditch - Postgraduate - Retail Design - 2017 The brief was to create a sub-brand for the John Lewis Partnership and redesign the interiors of Barber & Parlour, Shoreditch, London to showcase the collections of this sub-brand. Considering the popularity Shoreditch has for street art, fashion, design and with an uprise of tech companies, innovative high-tech visual display devices has been chosen as the exclusive set of retail products and the brand has been named “Prescience” (the fact of knowing something in advance; foreknowledge). Abstract ideas taken from the concept of a pixel and strategies for best suitable conditions for the products to be viewed, helped create the whole cohesive package of Logo design, branding, packaging, advertising, pop up design and the retail store design. The layouts are planned priortizing the best way to experience each product and it is achieved through varied circulation across three levels.

03 Bedroom Design

Coimbatore - Freelance - 2021 This is a renovation project that required the redesign of a bedroom, with the objective of giving the space a rustic ambience under a tight budget. The design started off with making the space have parallel planes in order to make the space more efficient to use, considering the original shape was an irregular one having negative spaces. the bamboo ceiling and the cement wall finish help add texture to the design making it rustic. The built-in features such as the worktop, shelves and cupboard are made with L angles with screws to join the wooden plates; contribute to make the space cohesive and also limits the budget.

04 Home Theatre Design

Coimbatore - Sundar Sundaram Architects - 2015 Tasked with designing a home theatre for a residence and with no specific design constraint, I looked up to Zaha Hadid’s works and found inspiration in the fluid forms of her buildings. The idea of a closed continuous loop helped me visualize this design with the design elements converging at the picture screen as the main focal point. The cavity walls, acoustic panels, and a neutral color scheme help on enhancing the experience of watching entertainment or informative content.

Modular Kitch

05 Kitchen Design

Undergrad - Single space design - 2011 This was my first ever design project in architecture school, a single space design of a modular kitchen for a family of 4 that includes two children. The idea behind the layout is the sequential arrangement of storage to wash to cooking area that helps the space function in an organized manner and with storage being accessible without interruption for the kids. The chosen colour concept intends to illuminate the space with reds and whites, with black balancing it out. The chamfers along the work areas are done so to amplify the functionality.

06 Bedroom Design

Coimbatore - Freelance - 2016 The client and the user was a 26.y.o male, whose newly constructed bedroom’s interior was to be designed. Usage of dark colours and wooden panels with a minimalist concept were the objectives stated by him.

Option 1- Shades of grey has been used overall, with black being the secondary colour used on all furnitures. Textured paint with a mildly rustic look and grey shades is used as the backdrop for the wall. Vitrified tiles with its matte texture corresponds and correlates to the theme of the room.

Option 2- White and walnut brown are the primary and secondary colours. White painted exposed brick wall has been made as the backdrop. Walnut brown coloured wooden panels are fixed on the wall surface of the subtracted area and laminate sheets are used on the furnitures. Marble flooring is used with the currently trending chevron pattern.

Bank 09 Memory Non-Architecture Competition(Dying) - Community Award - 2019 #Experience #Sharing #Relive #Technology #Memory After hundreds of years of existence, we the human species still make the same mistakes our predecessors did. A significant percent of the population has always fallen victim to life’s harmful addictions, poor upbringing, business failures, unhealthy relationships, failed careers and so on. Our most important life lessons have always been learnt at the cost of time, relationships, health, and money. But what if it was possible to live someone else’s experience in their human form, in their environment, in that period of time, feel the exact things they felt, but with that memory registered on to our brain to learn from?

Memory bank is that place where someone’s experience or untold story helps another in a distant time, by reliving it. It is the evolution of a cemetery, fused with the concept of library but enabling first-hand experience. After the corpse is processed, the memory of the three most valuable experiences of one’s life is reconstructed in code; only the brain is preserved through advanced cryonics and capsulated to recreate scenarios from its memory. The disposal of remains of the corpse is done through alkaline hydrolysis.

10 Thinnai

Small Scale Architecture Essay Competition - 2019 In these modern times where society is being rapidly restructured under great influence of social media and globalization, the lack of sense of community among people in urban areas is increasing day by day. We are open to the whole virtual world but not the world around us. A sustainable city is a ‘fun city’, which is culturally interactive, integrated and diverse. In order to create a safe society, architectural interventions should be created within the city’s streets and along with the buildings .

‘Thinnai’ is a Tamil word for a raised plinth positioned in front of houses. It is a small architectural feature found in traditional homes of south India. It serves as a transitional space for neighbors and passers-by to relax and interact; without affecting the privacy of the dwellers.

70

y around thinnai

Regardless of its scale, ‘Thinnai’ is one of the most multi-functional architectural spaces of these buildings. Designed to function as seating space for the resident, it also invites unplanned casual conversations, acts as stands that host numerous people at times of a grand festival or a parade, improves the safety of the locality by promoting social activities among the community and so on . Its high thermal mass also helps to keep the house cool in the summer evenings and warm during winter nights . What distinguishes it from similar architectural features around the world like porches and patios are that it’s an inclusively inviting semi-public space. Its rare transition from the outside to inside gradually enables both the private and the public to mutually benefit from it.

Highway restaurant

11 Proposed Highway Restaurant Design

Tiruppattur - Freelance - 2017 The proposed layout was designed to meet the client’s requirement of a highway restaurant & a cafe for 100 occupants(combined) that is suitable for all ages. The building is positioned at the west end of the site, away from the road and its traffic. The design attempts to create a relaxing ambience for the users who’ve been on possibly long journeys; by the regular use of softscape and by creating levels in seating areas to segregate spaces to a relateable + familiar scale. The outdoor area tries to limit the use of hardscape by limiting it to only the parking and circulation space and also fulfills the capacity for vehicular parking and driving.

12 Environmental Awareness Center

Island Grounds, Chennai - Undergraduate - Thesis - 2016 The environmental issues of Chennai had been on a constant growth with increasing water crisis, encroachment of lakes, unapproved developments, air and water pollution to add on to the global issues of climate change and global warming. As a countermeasure to the lack of environmental protection, environmental awareness should be promoted quite vividly amongst the people. To make it more of a tangible experience, in order to the reach the people better an Environmental Awareness Center(EAC) is proposed.

Cooum river that runs through Chennai is especially known for its high level of pollution and is in need of restoration. The site chosen is the Island grounds which is located along the creek of the Cooum river, next to a landmark that is the Napier bridge.

It would be one of the best locations to demonstrate environmental awareness and would also act as a prototype to rectify contaminated water bodies.

The key components of the EAC are the visitors center, botanical gardens, environmental awareness museum, eco dome and the research and develope center, which all contribute to the sole message of what the name of the project stands for.

The Eco dome is a climatically controlled glass enclosure that hosts various species of plants that would not survive otherwise, in the region. The idea is to express the beauty and uses of unfamiliar species of plants to the domestic visitors, to bring about awarness and admiration towards plant life. Myriad glass used cuts off 35% of the heat and sprinklers help control internal climate.

Undergrad - Dissertation - 2015 The aim of the dissertation was to decode and study the ways forms can be manipulated to serve in architecture and design, based on the book Transformation: Basic Principles and Methodology of Design by Roland Knauer. Treatments of the main three elements: Bars, Surfaces and Body in the given ways could assist in the arrival of form for any building and can also help decode and simplify the way the built structures are percieved, with regards to form. Analysis of case examples and live studies were done by decoding the form of built structures and relating them to the given treatments of bars, surface and body, to support the aim of this dissertation.

Issues along river Vaigai

14 Restoration of river Vaigai - Infrastructure

Madurai - Undergrad -Urban Design - 2015 A colloaborative joint studio program with Columbia University:GSAPP, New York, the brief was to identify issues around the river Vaigai in the central part of the city and provide architectural solutions to it. Several groups were created to study specific topics each. Our group of 11 was assigned to study the infrastructure of the area. Each member documented a further subdivided aspect, I documented the roads and bridges along the river and identified the edge condition of each to lead to multiple issues of dumping of waste along river, cluttered activity under bridges and lack of access to a key structure, the maiya mandapam.

15 Recreation Hub

Mattuthavani, Madurai - Undergrad - Architectural Design - 2015 The brief was to design a recreational hub, on a site located in Maatuthavani, Madurai, that has a flower market and one of the main bus terminals to its side with the Vandiyur Lake located at the rear. The recreation hub caters to the large number of people who visit the locality and also to the people of the city. Food and Cinema tend to be the go-to recreational option for the people of the city and so 2 theatres and 2 restaurants are provided. Event halls, Gym, Library, and Spa are the other built structures in the recreational hub. Jogging track, Pavillion, and triangulated seating with lawn are the open and semi-open spaces for the public to use. The design took a modern approach, attempting to be seen as a significant addition of a modern piece of architecture to the city.

16 Squatters - Thiruparankundram flyover

Thiruparankundram flyover - Undergrad - Housing - 2014 The assignment was to identify a squatter settlement site in Madurai, analyze it, and propose solutions to the issues they faced. A squatter settlement found under the Thiruparankundram flyover was chosen to be studied. The squatters were living/ occupying the negative spaces/unused parts of the city, face the threat of being vacated at any time, also ran shops to make a living, and also slept at night all with poor or no shelter.

As a solution, we proposed mobile homes that are adaptable, affordable, and easily portable to the squatters. The aboveshown modules adapt to the needs of the squatters to act as shelter or a roadside stall. The designs are technically, economically, and legally feasible as they are temporary shelters that can be easily portable.

17 Landscape Design - Residence

Panruti - Freelance - 2017 The site is located in small city near Pondicherry, and the brief was open with the objective that the landscape design should complement the architecture of the building.

Paving stones of varied lenghts are used for a bespoke flooring layout that serves as the driveway and a walkway. Foxtail palms are planted in the south east side of the building; bamboo and other flowering shrubs are positioned across the site in a volumetrically composed manner. The wooden gazebo contains a sequence of planter boxes with seating area and a table for outdoor conversations. A cascade fountain is placed in the portico creating a calm entrace, producing gentle sounds of the fountain. Black and white pebbles are laid in areas to define the landscape of geometrical proportions, the entire built features in the landscape design follow a cubical/rectangular theme for good functionality and visual order.

18 Courtyard Design

TCE, Madurai - Undergrad - Landscape Design - 2015 The brief was to design the landscape for the courtyard located in the northern end of Architecture department in TCE, Madurai. Lobby, Library, Studios, Staff rooms and the Gents toilet are the spaces that surround it. The exisiting courtyard consists of only grass, five trees and some rocks. The redesign is done retaining all the elements.

The design mainly involves the introduction of hardscapes into the courtyard, for easier usability and maintainence. The curved seating acts as a place for informal gathering. The height of it is 3’ so that it doesnt obstruct the view of the courtyard.

A gazebo with the existing rocks bounding the focal area. It can acts as a mini stage for informal events. Cascade is located on the northern side. The soft sound of water flowing complements the functions of library and also acts as a micro climate modifier. Wooden trellis is placed on the top right side to block the view of the entrance to the bathroom. Stone pavers is used around the bounding areas of the courtyard. People can place their feet when they sit on the raised level.

19 Landscape Design - Residence

Madurai - Undergrad - Landscape Design - 2015 The task was to design landscape for a residence located near the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu. The site recieves wind movement from the north east monsoon winds. Semi arid like climate prevails in the sub urban area.

The outdoors was divided into five parts each serving a seperate need. Retaining walls holding in the softscape bind the space together to maintain a cohesive look. The design process began with drawing inspiration from Mughal gardens and the landscape at Hayder aliev center by ZHA to fuel the design with feasible ideas.

The lawns have contours to create interest, the absence of trees in the front enables proper wind flow to the indoors and visual connectivity to the building from the streets. Levels are given to make drainage functional. Trees at the end gives privacy and a reduces temperature.

Madurai - Freelance - 2015 The client’s requirement was to design and develop a modern facade for his residence located in Madurai. The scope of the design was to work/develop the large balcony space in the front of the building. Several options of having a semi-open balcony space were initially proposed. Owing to financial restrictions the elements of the facade had to be minimized.

A simple clean and balanced design involving stone facia, glass parapet, and dark wood panels was approved as the client’s final choice of the facade for the building.
