COVID-19 pandemic made us all rethink the way we deign healthcare facilities. Our response to such outbreaks has always been reactionary in nature. We convert convention centers, hotels, parking garages to field hospitals but will that be enough? To address the health challenges of today and tomorrow, we need an ecological, holistic design approach that is not limited to human health but also animal health and environmental wellbeing. We proposed ‘One Health Hospital’ which is a collaborative, integrated, and multi-disciplinary approach to improve health in all three domains (human, animal, and environment) rather than restricting our views and actions to just one domain. This integrated hospital consists of a dedicated veterinary hospital that runs continuous disease surveillance by monitoring animal health and an R&D facility that focuses on zoonotic diseases. With such hospitals, we hope to detect and contain the next outbreak before it becomes a global pandemic.

The Chicago Rehab Lab is a thirty-six story, 750,000 square foot medical rehabilitation research facility located on the southern end of the Northwestern Medical Campus. Our vision for this rehabilitation amenity was to establish a World-Leading self-sustained hospital, recognized for its contributions to motion-analysis related innovation, service and research. Our facility features four state-of-the-art ability labs that allow researchers to interact directly with patients, resulting in quicker and faster patient-care.Situated directly above the ability labs to accommodate the patient’s family, relatives, and friends, as well as doctors and other professionals, are eight floors of hotel occupancy, all of which produce spectacular views of the magnificent city of Chicago. Additionally, with minimal changes to the overall layout required, four levels of the hotel are designed to address any future rehabilitation hospital expansion.

SITE ANALYSIS AND MERONIC DESIGN IMPLICATION The Chicago Rehab Hospital site was located at the junction of East Erie street, East Ontario Street and North fairbank Court, in Chicago. The site was situated closer to Lake Michigan amidst the buildings of Northwestern Medical campus. The site was analysed in different context to design a Hospital that had meronic value.

GRADUATE STUDIO | Spring 2019 INSTRUCTOR | Prof. Scott Murray TEAM MEMBERS Roberta Arellano | Ramya Pattanur Vasudevan CONTRIBUTION Design and Planning of concept, design Layout, development and production of 3D Model, Floor Plans and Diagrams
The Cahokian`s believed that nature could not only give us life but could also show us to lead our lives. The Cahokian’s constructed mounds from the earth to create natural pedestals for their population to live upon. When several pounds of earth were taken out of the grounds, the excavation pits were then used for rainwater harvesting. This created a large resource for their crops, these earth mounds revealed a sense of hierarchy within the tribe. The Cahokian’s also believed that there were three separate worlds in our universe, the upper world, the middle world, and the lower world, these beliefs also created a sense of hierarchy within their religion. The cosmos seed bank is designed to revitalize our environment, not just by the amount of seeds that are stored in case of emergencies, but also by how its form interacts with the site around it. The main concept of this design was to restore life back into the site through landscape design, the building form and the sustainable aspects of the building.

ENERGY ANALYSIS
The building was analysed at different design stages with respect to daylight and energy consumption. The EUI value for the final model as 36, very close to the requirement. The effencieny of the building was increased by providing solar farm in the north end of the site. There was 24% underlit area, but the function of these space required artificial lighting. The research area and the auditorium was well lit, to increase the natural light within the building a courtyard was provided in the reseach wing that acted as a spill-over space.
AERIAL VIEW - The existing contour was reatined, pathways were curved out to enjoy the site

ADAPTHAUS team is one of the largest interdisciplinary organisations at University of Illinois, comprising of students from engineering, architrecture, design and business background. We are competing in the U.S Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Build Challenge. The concept idea was to make a modular house that can grow as per need. It caters to all age groups and has flexibility. The design initially began with three modular arrangement, eventually developed by combining 2nd and 3rd option. The challenge was developing construction details to convert our ideas to reality. We had to research about materials, fixing details that is cost effective. Several parts had to be revisited due to size, budget and time constraints. It was a good learning experience collaborating with HVAC, MEP, Structures, Landscape and Construction Management team.

EXPERIMENTAL ENVELOPE ATLANTA, GA
ELECTIVE COURSE | Fall 2019 INSTRUCTOR | Prof. Scott Murray INDIVIDUAL PROJECT Ramya Pattanur Vasudevan CONTRIBUTION Design and Research of Sun Shade, 3D Modelling and conducting energy analysis in Sefaira software. 3D printing physical model and rendering.
The seminar focused on the theory, design and analysis of building envelope systems with an emphasis on experimental approaches in the realms of energy performance, geometry, fabrication, and user experience. Experimental Envelope Design Project was conducted in 4 phases that went through an iterative design process to evaluate sun shading design. The shading for this building is designed to maximize well-lit space and to eliminate under-lit spaces. This was achieved by providing vertical shading on both East and West façade, horizontal shading in South façade. The horizontal shading in North façade was added to reduce over-lit spaces. The building before modifying the default properties had a EUI value of 40. To improve the building performance, R-value was increased to 18.2 by providing 3” Polyurethane foam behind the spandrel. Viracon`s Triple pane glass was used to decrease the U-value and SHGC value to 0.25 and 0.24 respectively. Other values for the building were brought up to standard. These factors helped to increase the performance of the building by having a EUI value of 21, satisfying the requirement of 2030 challenge.

Development of CAD drawings and presentational diagrams. Mathematical calculations. Construction of 3D and physical model. AWARDS Nominated as one of the Top 25 Finalists in Research Image Competition - Spring 2019
A series of project were developed as a part of the course. DEPLOYABLE RING structures were constructed using angulated members whose geometry is determined from the number of polygon sides n and subtended angle φ of the angulated members. To determine the member dimensions, the geometry in the fully expanded state is considered. The central angle α of the polygon equals 2π/n. Using this, the kink angle of each angulated member can be calculated as φ = ψ = π – α HOBERMAN SPHERE is an isokinetic structure patented by Chuck Hoberman that resembles a geodesic dome but is capable of folding down to a fraction of its normal size by the scissor-like action of its joints. ONION DOME was constructed using angulated scissor elements. Each ascending layer of the onion dome has different lengths of members, as well as a changing angle between the members. The Onion domes have various applications in the field of Architecture. Tthey can be used as open pavillions, roof of temple cars seen in Asian countries. etc.

After constructing the first set of dog legs, we construct two circles (A and B). At the intersection of the circles A and B, we construct a third circle C.
We repeat step 3, to get all the tiers. Circle C will intersect Circle A and B at two points, these two points are joined with the end points of the first set of dog legs. We then get our second set of dog legs.

PEN AND LENS
I have always loved painting. Once I started my architectural studies, sketches have helped me communicate my ideas and thought process. Photography started as a new learning 5 years ago. Every single time I come across any post on social media I realise how every individual sees the world differently. My interest to capture moments incresed as a medium to translate the world I see through my lens. Urban sketching is a new hobby developed during my internship tenure in India. I am a member of Chicago Urban Sketches.
