Anushka Priya, KRVIA [Architectural Portfolio] by Anushka Priya

HELLO!

I am Anushka Priya, an art and craft enthusiast currently pursuing my bachelors in architecture degree from KRVIA Mumbai.During my 4 year journey in this course, I have developed a keen interest in the art for the living.

This portfolio is a compilation of some of my design work which have been created alongside this journey. I try to explore and learn as much as I can and I believe my degree in architecture will help formulate my ideas better and take them to a whole another level.

01 FLAVOUR: A COMMUNITY KITCHEN

This project is situated in Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, a small temple town 250 kms away from Chennai famously known for its Thillai Nataranjan Temple. The process involves exploration through oblique strategy, one of which being ‘Spectrum Analysis‘.

The program aims to bring everyone together and create a new community in itself by doing so. Food has been a powerful medium for bringing people together for centuries. It transcends cultural, social, and linguistic barriers, fostering connections and promoting social harmony. Many cultures have food-related traditions and rituals that bring them together like feasting during religious holidays. Preparing and sharing meals together creates a sense of togetherness and strengthens familial and social bonds.

Flavour is a community kitchen situated near the West Gopuram which is accessible by any devotee entering the temple complex. It is usually flooded with tourists and vendors selling utensils right outside the entrance of the Temple complex.

Preparing and enjoying food together is a bonding experience. The program also looks into small scale farming accessible to all and a small kitchen garden which can only be accessed by the volunteers working inside the kitchen space. On the opposite side of the Dining Area is a Garland making workshop with a library that has books on gardening and the art of garland making.

GOVANDI ENTREPRENEURSHIP INSTITUTE

Entrepreneurship institutes play a crucial role in fostering innovation, job creation, and economic growth by equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to become successful entrepreneurs. About 70-80 percent of people living in Govandi have their own shops which will be later on run by their children. The institute aims to provide formal education and training in entrepreneurship. This education may include undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as short-term courses, workshops, and seminars focusing on business planning, financial management, marketing, leadership, innovation, and venture creation.

The aim is to encourage self employement and help the small scale businesses to expand. It offers mentorship and coaching programs where experienced entrepreneurs and business professionals provide guidance and advice to students as well as aspiring entrepreneurs. The institute has a seminar hall, a library, training rooms, workshop areas and an incubation center.

SEMESTER V | DESIGN STUDIO | GUIDE: ROHAN SHIVKUMAR AND KRISH SHAH

Salim Bhai owns a tea shop in Govandi, Shivaji Nagar, Mumbai. The shop has been passed down to him by his father who is an immigrant from Gujarat.He has been living here for almost 30 years now. Most of the people who reside here are rehabilitated and have their own shops in the sout west of Govandi forming a market street near Ghatkopar Mankhurd link road.

The inside of the shop has minimal furniture allowing a small sitting space which mostly acts as a gathering space for the localites. Fixed shelves to store snacks and a small kitchen space behing which is only accessible to the people who work there.

The area has a lot of shops which are open from morning to evening. Though Goavndi has a high crime rate, the locals feel safe in sending there children outside to play. These shops in each street makes the area safe as it acts as the eyes on street.

Most of the houses on the outer streets are double storey buildings with ground floor being a commercial space. A similar typology is seen throughout the street.

Salim Bhai’s house is situated in a very narrow galli. There is only enough space to walk and hardly any light falls into these gallis. It is a double storey house with staircase on the outside

Salim Bhai visits this masjid every morning. This space becomes a part of his daily life

The houses are mostly built of brick and are covered in aluminium corrugated sheets During rainy season most of the houses are covered in plastic wraps in order to protect the houses from rain.

To commute across town one has to take auto rickshaw or bus to the nearest station. Only the main streets have auto and bus access so to reach a particular place Salim bhai walks to the outer street which is a 5 minute walk from his house and take a rickshaw to station.

CHIDAMBARAM EXHIBITION

SEMESTER 6 | COLLABORATIVE WORK

The Chidambaram Exhibition is a part of the Third Year Study Trip which included studying the temple town of Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu, famous for the Nataraja Temple and the chariot festival. Situated 250 kms away from the city of Chennal, the city plan is representative of a typical South Indian Temple Town, with a central temple complex and concentric rings of caste based streets around.

The study is interested in the ways in which the architecture of the temple town makes a community. This enables one to question spatial systems, beliefs and practices that are deployed to create and structure the society, and the resistances and emerge when subversions that this community is challenged by other value systems.

The study revolves around the Institutions that structure everyday life in the town. The narrative of the exhibition is derived from its people and their relations with the different fragments of the town they reside. A frenzy of spaces and events untwine with the help of stories, myths and legends presented by various characters, consequently streamlining the confusion of this dramatic temple town.

PELHAR DAM PROJECT

SEMESTER VI | LANDSCAPE STUDIO | COLLABORATIVE WORK

Pelhar is situated in the Vasai- Virar sub region of Mumbai Metropolitan Region. It is located to its North- West periphery within the boundary of Tungareshwar, a wildlife sanctuary. It is closely connected to the National Highway 8 towards the west. Through the study of Pelhar, it is observed that throughout the years (1970-2020) the population and industrial carpet of the region has exponentially increased due to the development. Major changes in the landscape of the region has taken place due to increase in urbanisation of the region. Pelhar has a large open space and has been considered for new plantations.It has less tree density and has a scope for new plantation . Even though the MPCB (Maharashtra Pollution Control Board) does not allow any industry to discharge treated/partially treated effluents into the river, the industries in the region constantly have been dumping their toxic wastes in the Amba river and other streams that flow from the dam.

The site being close to the industries creates interesting possibilities for a commune. Since the slope is gentle and away from the selected site, the area will not flood however, since the surface run off flows through the site, construction might need high plinths.

Residential Design Proposal

The buildings are built using hempcrete for walls and regular concrete for columns and slabs Behind the building is a community gathering space which will be surrounded by phytoremediation plants used to treat the grey water from the building. The grey water is treated and used again for flushing stored in the UGT. The rainwater is carried down from the roof through a reed bed for filtering and finally emptying in the well on the northern side of the building

05 MAPPING AND SOCIAL HOUSING IN KOLHAPUR

SEMESTER VII | MAPPING OF CITY: URBAN DESIGN STUDIO | COLLABORATIVE WORK | SOCIAL HOUSING: DESIGN STUDIO [INDIVIDUAL WORK]

The project studies the wide range of distinctive features of Kolhapur City that ranges from history to the development of it’s culture and it’s identity. The Mahalaxmi Ambabai Temple, located in the core of the city also known as the old city marks an important point in the growth of the city around. It is through the establishment of the shrine and the construction of the temple that settlements started flourishing in the surrounding areas which today is known as the core city. The area is adorned with some of the finest structures that act as remnants of different periods and their rulers. The area is flooded with pilgrims, locals and variour vendors selling Jewellery, Food, Flowers, kolhapuri Chappal . The urban study focuses on how people occupy the public realm and create newer spaces in between built forms through different forms of mapping.The project further looks into a housing project which is proposed near the temple complex.

About the Design Proposal

The project further looks into a housing project which is proposed near the temple complex. This project is a part of the Design Studio. The Motibag Talim is a very old Talim which exists within a 200m radium of The Mahalaxmi Temple. The project not only looks into the housing facility but also offers an extention to the existing public square by creating a plaza like complex.The main people on site apart from the tourists and vendors are the wrestlers training in the Motibag talim for whom a hostel facility has also been provided. The concept for the design proposal is derived from the kind of people occupying the space and the kind of activities that take place. As the project responds to 3 different communities(the wrestling community, the tourists, and the residents who reside there) the idea is to maintain the disconnectivity between these communities as they occupy the same space for different purpose.

WALL DETAILS

Sidhpur, a little town in North Gujarat is a place rich in history and mythology. The climate of Sidhpur is diverse across the year. Sidhpur is very hot and dry in summer, and cold and dry in winter. The Dawoodi Bohras, a trading community, travelled to cities in India and overseas where they flourished. Impressed with what they had seen overseas, they recreated a slice of Europe in their native Gujarat. The Bohras built monumental mansions, made of wood, with stucco facades, ornate pilasters trellised balconies and gabled roof which later on became identifying features of the architecture of this town.

The wall detail of central bank in Sidhpur was built in 1913, which is now occupied by the shopkeepers and bankers. The commercial building is 105 years old which is made out of brick, timber and stone.
