SCREEN HOUSE AURANGABAD, INDIA
Total site area - 500 SQ.M
Project size - One Family, 5-Bedroom House 2019-2020
Team : Alkesh Gangwal (Principal), Ruchika Gangapurwala, Pinal Sisodiya, Rutuja Todarwal
Contribution in the project -
Involvement throughout the design conceptualisation, refurbishment working drawings production, 3-D visualisations, MEP co-ordination, material selection, construction co-ordination on site and postconstruction photo shoot.
Prepared detailed architectural drawings, renderings, and material specifications to communicate design concepts to clients and contractors effectively.
Conducted on-site visits to monitor construction progress, ensuring adherence to design intent and resolving any emerging issues effectively.
Clients, contractors and vendors liason to ensure smooth execution of the design and construction process.
The owners of the house wanted a spacious home that provided ample opportunity to celebrate the small and big ocassions in life and hence the spaces needed to be flexible to accomodate the request. A subtle color palette is used throughout the project with ocassional elements of colors that make the spaces pop out. A balance of warm and cool tones with carefully selected furniture sets the tone for the whole house.
The terrace of the house was provided with cosy outdoor seating arrangement with a cabanna cooking area for small gatherings.
jalis to filter the entering light.
All existing trees around the site were preserved during the design and construction.
The well-lit interior common spaces of house, namely the living room, dining room and the family lounge, are separated by folding partitions open up to give an opportunity to turn it into a larger floor space for any party/events as per client’s request.
GROUND FLOOR WORKING DRAWING
A drawing set of 90 working drawing sheets complete with elevation, section, carpentry, flooring and all necessary details was released at the beggining of construction to ensure that the work continues without any delay once the construction process begins.

Contribution in the projectInvolvement through interim design development, working drawings production, 3-D visualisations, MEP co-ordination and material selection.
Developed the interior and exterior elevational massing of the building.
Actively participated in the design workshops to then later develop the design on 2-D as well as 3-D software.
Assisted in preparing working drawing sets to be issued on site for construction.
Made physical models of the whole built mass and of specific parts of the building for the design development at various stages of the project.
The design intent for this school project was to create spaces that would instill a sense of ‘playful joy’ among the children. The idea was to provide niches and corners that were encompassed by geometry of the forms, the colors of the materials and the feeling of being secured.
Through a rigorous series of form development and detailing, the final built structure successfully embodies the initial design intent.

“What does resilience mean to Singapore and the target site?” The brief of the studio was to select a 10x10 km site in Singapore and identify existing problems on an urban level that creates a hindrance in the the working of the city as a fully functional organism. The future of the site had to be thought of in relation to the city as a whole.
The task was to re-plan the site in terms of its Land Use, Natural and Social Capitals and a criteria that is particular to the selected site, in my case which was mobility. By focusing on large elements of infrastructure, along with key connectors, the site’s future was projected stepwise for years 2050, 2075 and 2100.
Some considerations were made on a city scale level for all the groups including the population by Year 2100: 10 million. Of the predicted climate risks, all sites must prepare for a sea level rise of up to 1.5m by 2100. The target was to achieve Self Sufficiency of Energy, Water and Food (non-meat only).
All this was to be done through a systems approch wherein the selected site would be understood as an agglomeration of the individual systems like blue, green, public spaces, energy & food; and as an interrataion of these systems within the city fabric.

Architectureplaysavitalroleinfilteringandformingexperiencesthrough perceptions of built and un-built environments and architecture gets its importance from the people who interact with it. This thesis is inspired by the architecture that enhances the human experience through the built environment by creating spaces that provide a scope for flexible opportunities.
The design focuses on music and the spaces that help in creating and experiencing it. This thesis is an exploration of the multiplicity of ways to make people aware about different forms of music, respond to the trends in music consumption and provide a platform for the beginners and professionals in the field of music. The principal issues to be addressed through design are acoustics, experimental spaces for music appreciation, interactive sound experience, and facilitation of social interaction.
A study of the possible transverse nature between sound, music rehearsal/ recording/ performance is crucial in the design exploration of this project to understand the relationship that man shares with sound, music, and space.

Movement Mapping
The mapping analysis shows that inspite of being situated amidst an area with high activity and thus having a high potential to be a sociable ground, the site is reduced to a neglected urban void.
Contribution to the team - Project Co-ordinator, Ideation, Research, Analysis of the site and identification of issues, Working on site for design implementation, Graphical representation, Presentation drawings, Video Documentation.
IDENTIFICATION OF ISSUES PROPOSAL OF IDEAS
SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE PROJECT
The competition aimed at identifying a neglected urban site in the participants’ city and convert it into an alternative urban space to create a vibrant community spirit. The goal was to inspire community interaction and create a positive social impact with small interventions in the transformed space.
The project brief required us to engage in actual hands-on construction program at the chosen site and document the transformation that the design brought about.
A video documentation which gives a clearer idea of the whole project is available at the url -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LszXz1rGls&t=3s
SEATING AREA FOR THE SHOPPERS AND CASUAL VISITORS
1. Bird Feeders – Feeders were distributed to the people who visited the site as well as other people around.
2. Flash mob – By the students and involvement of a social group to spread awareness on a larger scale.
3. Awareness Program – VEnvironment (NGO) conducted a workshop relating the revival of bird community.
4. Wall of Humanity – The poor were happy to recieve donations of clothes and other items at the wall of humanity.
On identifying the issues, proposal ideas were finalized in a way that they served on three levels - environmental, societal and social. Design interventions were designed keeping in ind the requirements of the space and availability of resources. Scrap and unused material from the site and nearby area was collected and converted into the intervention elements by little alterations painting on them. The whole work of elements was carried out by the team members in college workshop and then transported to the site for installation. A 6-inch concrete base was poured beneath the installations to ensure fixing on the site and security.
The process was also documented on a social networking website (Instagram) on url - https://www.instagram.com/_the_corner_ project_/?hl=en
