CONTOURED Himachal Pradesh, India Project Architect for RanjitSinh Associates, Mumbai Situated in the Himalayas, this 108 room Spa retreat aspires to connect the travellers with the pristine nature and vibrant culture of north India. The brief was to make a destination resort, that engaged with travellers for more than a week. The team had to devise a unique blend of programs and reposeful spaces that engaged with patrons for a long peroid of time. Apart from the program, the site itself was extremely steep and it took the collective effort of architects, structural engineers, geotechnical engineers and local contractors to devise a unqiue strategy to build in the mountains. As the project head, my responsibilities included coordination of thedrawings by Architectural, Structural, Mechananical, Electrical, Back of House & Landscape consultants. Drawings in the next 8 pages are generated by the architectural team of RanjitSinh Associates. Content from this project belongs to RanjitSinh Associates and is reproduced here after seeking the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission.

Since the site of the hotel was on the hills of the Himalayas, negotiating the steep slopes of the mountain was the primary challenge of the project. The state government has a strict policy about soil excavation. It prevented any excess soil from leaving the premises of the land on which construction is intended. Revit was helpful in determining the excavation quantities for construction. As a design principle, we tried to equate the amount of excavation required with the amount of fill required in the land. This balanced approach, made possible by through BIM, helped us plan the 108 room hotel on the steep slope of the Himalayas. The structure model was created with the engineers to visualise the method of construction.

College Station, Texas Spring13 Studio 606 with Architect Miguel Roldan The Spring 2013 studio was headed by Barcelona based architect Miguel Roldan. The studio aimed at addressing the growing population of the Texas A&M Campus by sensitive planning and building strategies. The design addressed the three scales that architecture operates at. 1. Campus Level: After overlapping maps like transit corridor, landuse, proximity and density, an appropriate site was chosen. The site ties up with the pedestrian routes and bus networks of the campus 2. City Square: A Hotel and a multi-use campus space provides the need of the growing campus. The architecture also intends to connect the main & west campus areas by funneling people towards an existing bridge over the railways line that act as a barrier today. 3. Interior Space: A micro-climate creates an active campus space by creating comfortable internal courtyards to escape the harsh Texan sun. The facade is created by a series of overlapping screens that shade the public areas of the

Haridwar, India Junior Architect for RanjitSinh Associates, Mumbai ITC proposed to build, housing for its management staff at Haridwar, India. The number of housing units required were 80 with a total built up area of about 2,00,000 square feet. A combination of independent houses and apartments were envisaged based on land availability. The clients required amenities like, community gathering spaces, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play area, clubhouse. The clients were particular about rain-water harvesting and were keen to store and use as much water that could be salvaged from the Monsoon. As a junior architect, a lot of the initial design of the scheme was already finished. My responsibilities included preparing the working drawings, incorporating the structural and MEP drawings into the main drawing set. Drawings in the next 4 pages are generated by the architectural team of RanjitSinh Associates.

Pune,India Architect for RanjitSinh Associates, Mumbai This housing typology aimed at mixing a varied types of housing modules into an integrated system. The scheme incorporates 2/3 bedroom apartments and 2/3 bedroom duplex houses. There was a specific focus to address the hot and dry climate of Pune and create a vibrant community space for the complex. As a climactic response, an internal courtyard was conceived. This courtyard creates a microclimate within the complex that is used all year round. This courtyard becomes an event space where residents can interact and meet. We followed the same principle and punctured voids through the building to create vertical meeting spaces.

RENOVATION
Mumbai,India Freelance Architect, Client: BPCL This renovation project incorporates Branding, Facade Design, Landscape design and interior design. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited is an oil refining and supplying agency in India. Their oil pumping stations are scattered all across India. One such pumping station â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SV-2â&#x20AC;&#x2122; needed renovation as it was in a state of disrepair. This project aimed to re-establish the brand identity of BPCL on the building facade. The building itself was repaired with the help of a structural engineer and local contractor. The building ensures visibility of the BPCL brand from the adjascent road, moreover it boosts the morale of the workers that man the pumping station. This was a prototypical project for BPCL and we often had to work together to develop the vision for the project and the eventual design.

COMFORT ANALYSIS
COMFORT ANALYSIS: Shaping urban form Revit, Vasari, Ecotect Arc 607, Studio with Professor Mark Clayton
Good design is subjective. What is considered appealing and ideal by one person may not be the case with another. Can good design practice be qualitatively proven? Can the designer prove the value of his design by empirical data? This was a question posed to us in Studio 607. My project looks at empirically mapping the comfort of outdoor spaces in a 81000 sq ft development in College Station, Texas. The development is of mixed used programs.(Apartments, Offices, Retail). The project uses an existing design scheme by HOK architects as a base design and tweaks it to achieve better climatic performance. By combining data like solar radiation, shading, wind flow and humidity into Revit, one can represent comfortable outdoor spaces as a grade for a particular day and season. This process not only gives a representation of climatic data, but documents the data into the Revit design model for future use.

Comfort Maps Comfort Maps for Summer and Winter are a culmination of the climate study and diagrams By combining information of Shadow Patterns, Wind Movement through the Site, Solar Gain and Wind Chill, the diagram identifies the comfortable spaces in the new urban form.
Summer Comfort Map Passive Cooling Strategies like Natural Ventilation and Shading are used together to lower the temperature of the courtyard and movement corridors of the master plan. By experimenting with the form, wind corridors were created within the master plan. It was ensured that wind flows through the courtyards as well as a significant portion of it was shaded.

Winter Comfort Map Natural Ventilation, shade and breeze are a negative factors during the winter. Spaces that have Sunlight, and no cross breeze are the most comfortable and have been identified on the map. The new master plan allows for sunlight to enter into the courtyards and streets unlike the earlier model.

Autodesk Autocad, Revit, Ecotect, Vasari, Navisworks As we move towards sustainable design, lean construction and integrated project delivery, Building Information Modelling softwares play a vital role in that process. It is important exploit these softwares for design, analysis and simulation tools to streamline the design and construction process. My process of architectural design takes into consideration how built form affects the city and ties with its infrastructure. This study can be undertaken by overlapping GIS maps with different layers onto the base city map for analysis. Softwares like Revit allow the designer to create and document designs based on information gathered from different sources. This design is then transferred to analytical software for energy, climatic and construction analysis. It can further be attached with a real schedule of the project to generate 4-D Silumation of the construction. The next two pages showcases the uses of BIM softwares in Desing/analysis and Simulation and their advantage.
