LA MIRADOR- MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL AND RETAIL PROJECT, BARCELONA CONCEPT AND DEVELOPMENT.

The Spanish are generally outdoorsy people. ….. …..How do we design their habitat?

What if the public realm could be a part of the public space?

Where? • Barcelona is located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, facing the Mediterranean Sea, on a plain approximately 5 km wide limited by the mountain range of Collserola, the Llobregat river to the southwest and the Besòs river to the north The annual average temperature in Barcelona averages about 20 degrees.

CASE STUDY- PLACA REIAL A mixed use development, which entertains the public at all times, without interrupting the balance between the public and the private. • Plaça Reial is a square in the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain., which lies next to La Rambla and constitutes a well-known touristic attraction, especially at night. • On the plaza are a large number of restaurants and some of the city's most famous nightclubs including Sidecar, Jamboree or Karma. • It is also known for its many outdoor venues and is a popular meeting place during the summer and the annual La Mercè festival in September, when open air concerts take place, and during other celebrations such as New Year's Eve, often being very crowded. • The Plaça Reial was designed by Francesc Daniel Molina i Casamajó in the 19th century. The square is twinned with Plaza Garibaldi, in Mexico City. • The lanterns there were designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. • The square is the site of the Hotel Roma Reial and club. BRIEF To design a mixed use development in the @22 area, Barcelona The building is to include• 1 Bed, 2 Bed & 3 Bed Apartments • Retail area

DUBAI, 2015

INFERENCEThe Spanish are known for staying outdoors till 10 pm and returning home only to sleep. They enjoy the outdoors as much as an American enjoys the indoors. The Ramblas, Plaza Reial are examples that have proved this. Caricature artists, jeweellery makers, street artists, mimes, dancers are popular choices of occupation.

PHYSICAL CONCEPT MODEL 1 The models tried to explore the possibility of integrating private and public spaces without crossing the fine line of intrusion.

Designing Emergency Shelters Summer 2014 Course Summary

Architects, engineers and other professionals must take action in the development of the global emergency response to the natural or manmade disasters that are increasingly occurring in different part of the world. In times of crisis, the whole world should act to help war refugees and environmental migrants with the recovery efforts. Designers have the opportunity to propose solutions that can minimize the suffering and prevent the deaths of thousands of people. Wars have devastating effect on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. By designing refugee camps, we will provide an alternative for the people who lost their homes and had to escape, leaving everything behind. Natural disasters are happening more often due to climate change. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much to stop them, but as architects and engineers, we can offer a temporary solution by designing transitional shelters for the recovery period. The 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the 2012 hurricane Sandy in the USA, the 2013 typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, are just some of the examples of the devastation effect of natural disasters. We need to take action. The goal of this online course was to generate designs for emergency shelters for the victims of wars and natural disasters. The participants in this course designed affordable and easy to build shelters, which could be implemented by OCHA, UNHCR, WBG, and other international organisations. As a team of architects, engineers and students, our team made it to the top 12 teams in the course.

HAITI Haiti was picked as the prime location as it is known for a history of earthquakes, and floods and I intend to battle these disasters through my design. Haiti has a generally hot and humid tropical climate. The eastern central region receives a moderate amount of precipitation, while the western coast from the northern peninsula to Port-au-Prince, the capital, is relatively dry. Temperatures are almost always high in the lowland areas, ranging from 15° C to 25° C in the winter and from 25° C to 35° C during the summer. -using foldable lintels, blinds or sunshades that can be put away when not needed.

The reason we decided to use biogas as the main source of energy … •It would be difficult to set up a coal power station in a disaster affected area like Haiti,and waste disposal is a problem faced by most nations in the world. •Biogas generation requires only kitchen waste, waste water,paper waste, etc. •It offers Zero garbage and Zero effluent and provides high quality manure and methane gas. •Hence it was decided to allocate one biogas of 5 m diameter to every cluster of 16 shelters.

WHY IS BAMBOO THE PRIMARY MATERIAL? Tensile strength: The fibres of the bamboo run axial. In the outer zone are highly elastic vascular bundle, that have a high tensile strength. Shrinkage: Bamboo shrinks more than wood when it loses water. The canes can tear apart at the nodes. Fire resistance: The fire resistance is very good because of the high content of silicate acid. Elasticity: The enormous elasticity of bamboo makes it to a very good building material for earth-quake-endangered areas. Another advantage of bamboo is its low weight. It can be transported and worked easily, the use of cranes is mostly unnecessary.

PROPOSAL FOR THE SHELTER THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED FROM BAMBOO.

BIOGAS PLANTS

We tried to evolve from our initial concept(right) to the radial final plan (left).

The biogas plants are placed near the garbage areas, on the master plan, so that the public spaces will not be affected by the smell or noise. Each biogas plant is 5m in diameter and will suffice for 16 shelters or 16 families

Sun Path and Views UAE DUBAI JUMEIRAH

PROPOSED SITE

Nestled in an area populated by wealthy expats and luxury hotels, Jumeirah was once a coastal dwelling for fishermen, pearl divers and traders. Ever since the 1990s, the area has seen a booming growth with the emergence of hotels like Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

A contoured site may be advantageous or may prove detrimental. It can be used in the design to capture views, to create interesting landforms or to provide a noise or wind barrier. But it may be a hassle for drainage and structural systems. This can be combated by excavating, levelling or cutting and filling the site PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT

04 Presented a paper on Electronic Architecture in Urban Spaces at International Symposium of Electronic Arts 2014, Pecha Kucha format. Submitted the project, Encouraging Students to make the switch to Public Transport, to the Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport 2014.

To find out how students travel to college, we conducted a survey at Manipal University Dubai, DIAC. Number of students- 55

01 ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO MAKE THE SWITCH TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT A PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE- To discourage use of private transport and encourage use of public transport among students of the DIAC and other academic campuses around the UAE. According to the Dubai Statistics Centre (DSC), Dubai has more than 1 million registered vehicles serving 1.9 million residents, according to 2010 data from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), of which majority are within the age group of 18-30. This means that every two people own one vehicle. More than half of traffic accidents that happen every year are caused by people in the age group of 18-30, possibly university students. So how can we make that transition from private cars to public transport to reduce traffic accidents, pollution, congestion?

THE CUBE. The structure is made of wood and steel panels, with solar panels on its roof. These solar panels absorb energy during the day and act as a charging dock during the night. Taking inspiration from the e-QBO, the proposed bus stop will have the following features: 1.Battery charging dock for any electrical device,i.e., electrical cars, mobiles, laptops,etc 2.Wi-Fi hotspot where pedestrians can avail free internet 3.A shaded seating area, as it is hollow on the inside. 4.Can be easily dismantled when needed. 5.Solar energy can be used to power lights, air conditioners, vending machines,etc.

It is common knowledge that most of the bus stops on the outskirts of the city like the Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) are not shaded and hence, prove difficult for university students who depend solely on the RTA for transportation.

This was a 4-hour long design activity, where we were provided with a pit within a pit, where the protagonist had to get to the innermost pit, only through 30 columns, that was our challenge. A man and a woman were introduced as protagonists, where the woman rescues the man from killing himself. It was an interactive session.

AUTODESK UNIVERSITY EXTENSION STUDENT COMPETITION THEME: FUTURE CITIES.

The brief mentioned that we could design anything that we thought would shape the future of Dubai. After much contemplation, we decided on a hospital.

We predict that in the year 3000, the earth will be a completely different planet. We, as humans, will rely on artificial oxygen and minimal usable land. Our construction methods would have advanced by bounds and anything will be possible. On account of the same, we propose a healthcare unit that will transcend all ordinary boundaries.

HEALTHCARE IN THE HEAVENS

Sitting atop a singular round column, in the stratosphere, our healthcare bubble creates its atmosphere, and is a haven for its patients. It features everything that a hospital would house, and more. Schools of medicine like nursing, gynecology, surgery: elderly homes, plazas, recreational areas, cafes are a few that were taking into account while designing. A helipad sits on the topmost floor and will provide access for emergencies. The other form of access are the elevators in the column. The low temperature at that altitude will prevent the spread of diseases.

LOWER WING

The cladding is a transition of triangles splitting from larger forms to smaller ones. This is to segregate the public and private spaces.

The round column will be the main core of circulation, with elevators to the ground and back. Highest floor will feature a helipad and emergency room for ease of access. Three floors will hold different schools of medicine, i.e., surgery, gynecology, nursing, ENT, etc, The plaza will allow the patients to recreate , and will feature lush landscaped areas, pools and cafes.

The lower wing will feature rooms for outpatients and the elderly

Participated in the 120Hours Architecture Student competition in a team of three.

TASK-The task of 120 HOURS 2014 was to design a structure on the festival site that can function as a meeting point and attraction that communicates a sustainable statement. The Øya Festival is one of the leading music festivals in Europe. The delight of this music festival comes partly from the ability to see world-famous artists without the crush of a mega-festival, in addition to the festival´s broad musical programme – with a rich variety of musical genres represented on the festival´s four stages. The festival, which takes place in Oslo every summer, attracted 85,000 visitors in 2013. In 2014, the festival is moving from its home in the Oslo Medieval Park to the Tøyen Park. Until now the festival goers have enjoyed a prime waterfront location in the Medieval Park, with the Oslo skyline as an iconic backdrop.
