SEMESTER 10 - THESIS DISSERATATION

Gamespace - Logics of Spatial Immersion

Architects have now shifted their mediums to communicate spaces through 3D immersion. 3D models, virtual dimensions, renders help us set an idea of what the space will look like, feel like and the experience it will create. The game space influences the player’s pace of movement and passage through a digital architecture and the rhythm of the challenges.

Exploration of the form takes place from a simple 2 dimensional Plane, to which different operations are done in order to achive a fabric like form which gulp’s a persons experience into an immersive form.

The spatial intent was to create a space with the immersiveness of the video game and detail parameters. Given the site located in the sub urbans on Mumbai, India. The site was able to host temporal events which gave me a tangent to interact with it through the lens of a spatial immersive nature of a gamespaces by holding publics exhibitions.

SEMESTER 07 - Urbanization - Mass Housing

Mass Housing in Triuchriapaali

The design concept for the middle-class IT workers in Tamil Nadu revolves around creating a vibrant community that fosters a sense of belonging and promotes social interaction. The design aims to strike a balance between shared spaces and private areas to cater to the diverse needs of the residents.

Public spaces are strategically integrated to encourage collaboration, networking, and community engagement. These spaces include recreational areas, co-working spaces, and communal gardens, providing opportunities for residents to socialize, exchange ideas, and form lasting connections. Private spaces offer comfort, privacy, and a retreat from the bustling community environment.

By prioritizing the needs of the middle-class IT workers and fostering a strong sense of community, the design aims to create a harmonious and supportive living environment that enhances the overall quality of life for its residents.

SEMESTER 06 - Form and Space Studies

The village school is more than a building; it’s an integral part of the community. It self-regulates to ensure smooth operations and maintenance, fostering a sense of ownership and self-sufficiency. Different spaces, such as open, semi-open, and closed areas, cater to diverse needs, promoting interaction and privacy.

By using local materials, the school empowers the community to construct and sustain it independently. This approach strengthens cultural identity and reduces dependence on external resources. Pedagogy in this context emphasizes a professional approach to education while incorporating local customs and practices, ensuring meaningful and relevant learning experiences.

The village school serves as a hub for preserving cultural and festival traditions. It becomes a vital center for knowledge transfer and community engagement, nurturing a sense of collective well-being. Through its holistic role, the school enhances educational experiences, promotes cultural heritage, and strengthens the fabric of the community.
