Saket Sarupria ABOUT ME
............................................................................................................................................................................. My journey in architecture began in 2011 as a student at IIT Roorkee in India. Opportunity to work as a research intern in Switzerland 2 years ago helped me to nurture my interest in building envelopes. During my 1.5 year stay in Switzerland I studied a diverse range of subjects ranging from tectonics in architecture, Building Information Modelling, HVAC systems to design thinking. Along with my thesis I also worked as a junior research assistant at competence centre for building envelopes and solar energy. Eventually my interest in building envelopes and faรงades increased, hence I joined the facade engineering team at Arup in Frankfurt after my thesis. I love everything that has to do with building physics, envelopes, faรงade design and construction. Illustrating ideas, representing concepts and data analysis are my strength. I believe I have a homogenous mixture of adaptability, creativity, sincerity and passion for working hard which has set me out of the crowd and led me to excel with time.

NON HETEROTOPIC TOWER A Rooted tower in the Alpine Region year place
autumn 2015 Bosco Gurin, Ticino, Switzerland
The “Non heterotopic Tower“ avoids being an imported generic artifact; on the contrary, rooted in its context, it finds its governing inspiration in the local conditions: a unique light, a special structure, a material, the local traditions, an endemic logic of construction? The local forces are redirected into a tectonic expression which gives the tower its own specific identity.
The Lantern: An attempt is made to achieve that by relating the tower to a common object which has a deeper meaning in the unconscious mind of people. Hence the concept of a lantern. There can be multiple interpretation of this tower. The people came across the mountains and settled in an avalanche prone area and not to forget the harsh climatic conditions. There must be some reason for all this hardship. I believe people felt a sense of security admist the surrounding mountains. Hence I also personify the tower as a watchman guarding the village, who has stepped aside in the more avalanche prone area as a watchman would do the same in order to safe guard its region
The Context: Bosco Gurin is unique in the world because of the people who crossed the mountains from the north and came to settle here. It has a life, it has a scale, individual buildings have their own identity which contribute to the overall character of the village. The primary aspect of the project is to bring something to the community in terms of public space. Beyond being an addition to the settlement not only it has to respect the skyline and the nature that surrounds it but it should also have its individual identity.
Up: Sketch of Bosco Gurin Middle: Site Plan Bottom: Site Sketches barn, rock shelter: view and section facade expression - stone and wood
Concept Model Wood and stone being naturally available and abundant in the surrounding area were the perfect choice to start with. This concept model aims at creating a visually light natural sculpture which can be transformed later into a more physically meaningful tower which is rooted in its region.
In-Out spaces (3mm cardboard) Model of a shell was developed which generated interesting patterns of light and shadow and at the same time can be integrated as the exterior skin of the tower. Later iterations led to the use of vertical timber elements in the facade.

Refractory
The wooden lantern is rooted in its place with massive concrete periphery at its base. A V-shaped concrete wall protects the tower from the force of avalanches. The chimney is the flame of the lantern. To approach each floor, one experiences journey through the twist and turns of the stair case, reminding essence of tiny streets of Bosco Gurin Village. The Tower is thermally insulated all around its periphery reducing need of insulation within indoor areas. The timber façade provides shade to protect harsh sun rays with soft interception to the beautiful view of Bosco Gurin. An attempt is made in the hope that people will realize the ‘value’ of such a breath taking views and provide an opportunity to celebrate that joy through corner window at the top of the tower.

The frameless window on the top floor of the tower provides people an opportunity to celebrate clear unobstructed views and experience greater joy in overlooking the village. A niche for sitting in front of every window in the tower creates special places for activites, to relax and to enjoy the amazing views of Bosco Gurin.
SHUKHOV TOWER HYPERBOLIC TRUSS year place
spring 2015 Lucerne, Switzerland
late August, is clearly visible in the center of the municitive character in order to draw attention to the project. It should also provide space for an exhibition that provides information on the "peninsula" group events.
One of the final proposal for the Shukhov tower in wood
with wood as it is naturally abundant in the area of Horw. Moscow by Valdimir Shukhov. An attempt tower primarily consists of baskets which will be constructed off site and then assembled with a crane on site. A spiral stair leads to the platform which is a necessary requirement for the project. In the later stages of design development the stairs and platform are removed to preserve the quality and architectural essence of the tower. Models raninging from joinary details at a scale of 1:2 to complete tower model at scale of 1:10 are made. high free-standing steel diagrid structure.
Above: Initial concept sketch of Shukhov tower in wood comprising of baskets stacked over each other. Left: geometric exploration of the relation between height of the basket and the number of vertical wooden bars.
Confined by the production limitations the tower is brought down from a stack of dozen baskets to just three baskets. Each having an option to be four to sizx meters tall. concept of stacking. Wooden slippers used on railway tracks are stacked in a pentagonal fashion to make an interesting star geometry with a single enterance into the space inside. When a user enters the base, there is a transition from dark packed space at the base to a contrast may generate a thought process in the users mind and he starts appreciating the quality of this space and of the tower.
Hand drafted panel 3.3x1.5m
Exploring the shape by varying no. as well as the position of vertical wooden members in each basket and the number of contact points at the base. For the final proposal the rightmost shape is choosen as it gave a more dynamic appearance. One of the most important detail is the joint wood was cut at an angle as per the geometry of the tower. Each point on one basket is connected to the second point on the opposite basket (refer model on right). More the number of steps, more will be the curvature of the bolt system and also using a wooden screw. Above: 1:10 scale model (height 1.8m) of the final proposal. 3 baskets resting on a Concrete base significant precipitation the water will collect inside the hole and one can see the reflection of the tower in the water.

competition excerpts year place
Spring 2016 Arup, Frankfurt
Working at Arup has increased my knowledge every single day in the field of facades, building physics and building engineering. The projects I have worked on are confidential and are hence not a part of the portfolio. But with permission I have taken some excerpts from the competitions and made a collage to give a brief insight into my role and the work I have performed for the competitions during my first two months of stay at Arup.

In South East Asia, Silk road is one of my dream route to travel. This studio provided me the opportunity to visualise this journey one step forward by pondering response to the extreme climatic conditions of four chosen places for my stay: Mauwsynram (India), Lhasa (Tibet), Turpan (China) and Severobaikalsk (Russia).
