I.I.T. Jodhpur, India

RAASTA: STUDENT HUB

Semester 5: 2019 A centre for innovation, ideation and incubation for the students of I.I.T. Jodhpur. The brief was to create a student hub where users can discover new things, interact and collaborate both professionally and culturally, while being exposed to varied amenities like resource centres, libraries, incubation rooms as well as spaces for casually hanging out like cafes, clubs and an O.A.T.

PASSIVE STRATEGIES The design uses Earth air tunnels dug undeground to regulate the air temperature with the help of ground temperature reducing the load on active HVAC systems. These are supplemented by thick cavity walls filled with insulation material to prevent hot Jodhpur winds to impact the temperatures inside the building. Wind towers catch the predominant South west winds, cool them using evaporative cooling and supply them as a result of difference in wind pressure into the various spaces. Louvres on the west facade along with traditional startegies like Jaalis on the South facade to prevent direct glare into the rooms have been employed.

Streets of Jodhpur, inspired movement through the site and therefore the design. The programme being an incubation centre, a space for ideation and innovation was the starting point of what this design had to represent.

The core concept was therefore an EXHIBIT SPINE that connects different spaces, so that while navigating people are always exposed to the ongoing innovations. While the spine represents novelty, critical regionalism was a must in this design to reflect the identity of Jodhpur.

What we found?

What we asked?

What we aim to do?

The people of Bandhu Camp struggle to meet the standards of healthcare, sanitation and nutrition. Inequitable access of services is a major factor that is determined by the location of where their house is.

How might we introduce a system that promotes equitable access of resources using communication tools? How do we guide users and encourage them to adopt a system of dissemination of information and distribution of resources?

Enabling equitable access to resources by designing an intervention framework and strategy rooted in the idea of easier communication to tackle systemic challenges at varied levels. Captures the intricate details of their everyday lives, understand their behavior patterns and engage with the community to develop a communication tool

Dwellers in Interior

Even though many schemes and resources are available to the community, due to a huge communication gap, an inequitable distribution occurs where the interior houses have next to no access to them as they do not know when they are available.

How to address it? Costly transit

The gap is filled by digitally connecting the basti with the distribution point. Communication is not restricted just via the visual medium and ensures a fair chance to resources available.

Place-making at the distribution point: the stepwell

With the use of simple communication tools, the application interface is explained. These tools are adapted to a medium that is contextually appropriate.

By curating a series of interactions, the step-well is revamped to serve as a space where community aid can be distributed and the community comes together to participate in various schemes that alleviate their existing problems

System for distribution of reesources

If successful, the prototype can be extended to other Bastis facing similar communication gaps and can be adopted by NGOs to channelize their distribution process.

Sustainable system Since there is a physical as well as digital system in place, post our involvement, the system will be able to continue on the shoulders of the community mobilizers.

System

New residents can download as well as learn to use the app via the nodes established. The presence of the step-well and its active use as social space is a tangible constant of the system - thus encouraging more people to join the app. Active participation of members will ensure NGOs continue to use the tool and the social space remains activated.

Semester 9: 2021 Group of 4

A mixed use development on a 10 hectare site, the aim was to develop the form in layers to respond to three scales - micro, meso and macro. The multiple lines of connectivity to be created within the site defined the placement of the built unbuilt. At the meso level, the massing is placed such that each function gets its own court with a sense of privacy from the central spine. At the urban level, the structure rises up to form three towers - strategically aligned to site edges and to channel wind movement, along with creating a visual identity for the development. At the urban strategy level, these can also be seen as urban consolidation, diffusion and organisation. A podium connects the metro station with the central plaza and the public functions on site to form a raised concourse level.

SU CASA

African House Design Competition: 2020 Team of Four Su Casa aims to provide incremental strategies to sustain the family’s growing needs. It is a low cost, sustainable home for the Jorejick Family in Tanzania, Africa, adaptable to a hundred others. The design is based on a module that is dynamic and capable of expansion so that it could keep up with the occupants’ need while being economical and low-energy consuming. We set forth the idea that architecture can allow all residents to partake in not just the design of their own units, but also the programmes within the building.

EXPANSION AND ADAPTION

The Atom A 3x4.5m unit called an Atom becomes the Main Structure. It has an attached framework for horizontal Future Expansion.

Connectors Staircase as a Connector to provide an attic for ancillary functions in the present and Vertical Expansion in the future.

The Molecule Two Atoms with their vertical and horizontal expansion, come together to form an L-shaped Molecule: a self-sufficient module

Adaptation The molecule can be arranged or adapted to different family structures and site conditions, to be standalone or arranged to achieve multiple, one or no courtyards.

AMALGAM: MIXED-USE HIGHRISE Semester 6: 2020

Amalgam is a building that proposes a system of collaboration rather than isolation. The aim was to create a series of interactive spaces that create the optimum conditions for encounters and exchanges between the various groups of users pertaining to Retail, Coworking and Offices, since a single community space does not effectively cater to the varying needs of the different user groups.

52


AMALGAM

53


The first step therefore in form development was to identify the different activities of these varying user groups. Then based on the nature of these activities the most suitable typology was identified for each function.

54

BINDING THE SCHEME

THE OUTCOME MASSING

To stay true to the initial ideology of creating new datum planes for greater interaction, terraces, atriums and plazas were added. Their primary aim was to act as the binding factor for these Hybrid Typologies

Merging the terraces with the typologies led to the form development of the scheme with the interactive spaces bring cohesion to the built whole.


A NS grid and a diagnol grid: The diagnol grid helped in establishing an axis through the design which in turn gave focus nodes and balance to the scheme.

Each function wraps around it’s own exchange courtyard, terrace or atrium. For eg. the Collaborative Atrium holds all funcions of this user group around it. An Urban window was added to improve visual connectivity between the inside and the outside.

The retail block- first eye level experience of a visitorplaced in such a manner that its edges form diverging angles directing people to the main atrium of the building: From a smaller entrance into a larger open space.

All binding terraces and atriums were placed on the North East direction to make them usable throughout the year by all user groups and allow people to meet and interact in these interactive spaces closer to the outdoors.

The tower - placed on the Western side so that it acts as a self shading element for the lower functions of retail and coworking and their terraces. The core in the tower blocks the entire western facade thus allowing the tower to also remain comfortable. 55

COWORKING: 5TH FLOOR

The scheme represents the interstices between colliding cultures, a liminal space “which gives rise to something different, something new and unrecognizable, a new area of negotiation of meaning and representation.” In this “in-between” space, new cultural identities are formed, reformed, and constantly in a state of becoming.

STRUCTU

The essence of the building is a series of terraced floors that together form a digital valley. Each floor contains a covered part as a traditional work environment, which is then uncovered on the terraces. These terraces after a chunk of office floors help cut the monotony providing views from all across.

A diverse array of urban activities invite inhabitation and interaction due to the HYBRID TYPOLOGIES of the functions. The ground levels of the building form a civic base, a market-place like environment for gatherings, and a partly sunken concrete-scape offers a multi-level surface for exhibitions and a food court.

CONTEXT PLAN

OCCUPA

ABOUT THE VILLAGE

Nestled in the Panchachuli Ranges of the Himalayas, the sleepy village of DARKOT stands still like a timeless painting. “If one had salt or tea, one was rich, one could live.” Darkot lies along an ancient trade route - the Tsa’lam (tsa - salt; lam - route).

History:

Before China annexed Tibet and closed the borders in the 1960s after the Indo-China war, salt trade was the primary occupation. Rice was exchanged for salt from dry lakes on the Tibetan Plateau. SECTION

School: Government school till 8th grade Children go to Munsiyari and Pithoragh to complete higher studies.

Food: No agricultural land. Grow basic vegetables in lawns attached. Other groceries brought from munsiyari

Raw Materials: As all work individually, there is lack and mismanagement of raw material for weaving, again, brought from munsiyari

Waste Management: Waste is burnt in bonfires.

Hospital: No dedicated doctor or hospital, go to munsiyari for medical assistance there is a hakim to whom they go for usual ailments

Water: A waterfall continuosly supplies clean water is used by all for all purposes. Also acts as an ablution area for women.

Community and its Spaces:

The only dedicated gathering space present today is an oat in front of the village temple but is used rarely, only for navrarti. We saw a thorough lack of usable community spaces caused due to the drastic contours the village is settled upon. Despite a close knit community of only 104 families, the people work individually at home.

CASTE AND COMMUNITY

Primarily a Hindu community, they are broadly categorized into three castes - Dharamshiya, Paangti and Shiyaana. Dharamshiyas live on the highest lands, close to the temple and are the higher caste. They are then followed hierarchically by the Paangti and Shiyana who live on the lower lands.

SITE SELECTION

ISSUES IDENTIFIED

SITE 1

SITE 2

Playground An actively used place by children to play football. A huge open area, not too far from the village. Access issues: only one thin lonely kachcha road led to it.

Bawan Kothi The area has now become the unsaid centre of the village in terms of activity as it houses both the general store as well as the tailor. It is easily accesible by two roads.

SITE 3

Social Inclusion was the main aim behind this design. People presently work individually at their homes and weaving being a time consuming activity, they lack community interaction. By giving them an area to work together, we can increase interaction betwen the villagers. Hence a “gali” for the karigars of Darkot was the inception point of this design. ence a “gali” for the karigars of Darkot was the inception point of this design.

No market space

OAT In front of the now dysfunctional temple, shows traces of a community space but being far away from the village as well as at a high altitude, it is rarely used.

DESIGN PROPOSAL

SETTLEMENT STUDY: POLS OF AMDAVAD LOUIS I. KAHN Design Competition: 2017-2018 Collaborative

The brief demanded documentation of a complex which was a symbol of democracy. Features like ownership, security and self governance in the pols of Ahmedabad are what drove us to study this settlement and understand it’s heritage through detailed measured drawing and analysis of how these spaces functioned and evolved.

Shantinath Ni Pol is a Jain pol with 3 Jain Derasars and an intricately carved stone chabutra. The pol has a narrow entrance that widens into a large quadrangle as you move towrds the derasar

POLS OF AMDAVAD

A pol is a residential neighbourhood with well-defined boundaries. There is an entrance through a main gateway, a primary street, and secondary streets ending in cul-de-sacs along which a cluster of adjoined houses. The configuration of the pols provide privacy and security to the occupants in spite of the proximity to the public areas. Each pol is identified by a name, and a specfic character.

MISCELLANEOUS

I love to make physical models to gauge a better understanding of my designs and what they would look like if they were to be actually built. My model making skills on softwares include profeciency in Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit and Sketchup. Through these four years in college I have engaged in research and writing as well, a seminar on “the place of space in mental well being” being an ongoing project.

AFTER: THE FUTURE OF BAZAARS Summer: 2020 Collaborative

Submission for a research proposal for The Cornell Journal of Architecture’s edition themed ‘After’.

We propose that to envision an ‘after’, we need to assiduously study the ‘now’ and the ‘before’. We propose that any discourse about an ‘after’,must question what progress means, and subsequently hope to bridge the dichotomy between preservation and innovation.The paper builds on Bazaars, a traditional market street typology which continues to support a thriving and a diversified local economy, and studies its evolution.

Architecture views itself at the threshold of the present and the future. The ‘after’ is considered to be synonymous with ‘progress’. This ‘progress’ is a departure from the past, a perceived isolated linear trajectory to an undefined goal. As such, humans have created a network of apparent islands that work together to construct our reality. Such a construct takes away from our inherently social nature. For instance, the Bazaar, a traditional market street has effortlessly satisfied this fundamental need for social interaction in human life as well as supported diversified yet symbiotic economies. The Bazaar typology could be argued as having a timeless quality and thrives in an ephemeral continuum between past, present and future. This has been replaced for an apparently more profitable consumer-capitalist supermarket typology where wants have superseded needs. This conception of ‘super modernity’ is a culture defined by excess and not the idea of self sustenance and community. The idea of progress should be a projection backwards as much as it is forwards. Instead of perpetually pursuing a unique typology, perhaps what comes ‘after’ for the marketplace can be a reinterpretation of a Bazaar, echoing what it already has been. The paper proposes that to envision an ‘after’, we need to assiduously study the ‘now’ and the ‘before’. Any discourse about an ‘after’, must question what progress means, and subsequently bridge the dichotomy between preservation and innovation.

THE MIRAGE OF A NATION Summer: 2020 Collaborative

Submission for the writing competition held by the Council of Architecture themed ‘Architecture and Nation Building’

insensitivity towards the native traditions was to establish that the land was now a part of their imagined community which followed the ideals of Imperialism.

Saracenic architecture was a reflection of these times - a merging of two different ideologies and styles, to find a balance to include the Indians whilst establishing their power

The simple forms, clean lines, bare material and priority to function was a direct translation of what the government aspired the people to be. India was groomed into the illusion of modernity

The need to find one’s own identity became unnecessary because of the glamorization of the west and the blind copying that followed.

Architects began to introspect and incorporate our heritage into the cast of modernism, in order to re instil ‘nationalism’ into the people. The national sentiment was replaced by lucrative privatisation, which changed the architectural landscape forever.

The euphoria of globalisation and the west has worn out but the economic impact is tremendous.

?

The ability of humans to create social constructs is what sets us apart from the rest of the species on earth. It enables us to not only imagine things, but to do so collectively and thus provides us with a tool that could make a large number of individuals cooperate flexibly as a unit. Nationalism is a myth, not only are its ideals continuously changing, they also need to be reinstated time and again to sustain this belief in the people’s minds and teach the new generations. We are mortal, our identity is time bound, but we wish to make it eternal and architecture is a reflection of this desire. Buildings are real, tangible objects which form a backdrop to our lives and are continuously in our vision. Buildings have power. Presently, we live in a world where our identity is a personal choice and not a societal one. The lack in our national sentiment has resulted in communal riots as people are resorting to smaller myths to find their sense of belonging. Finding a common myth to grasp the attention for an enormous 1.38 billion individuals is no cake walk. At the crossroads we are at today, it is imperative that to have further nation building, we need to redefine our sense of nation and nationalism. We first need to answer the question, what is it that makes 1.38 billion individuals Indian? Is it our land? Our resources? Our past? Our vision for the future? Is it merely a sport? Is it an external force or a charismatic leader? The paths are many and only time will tell along which India will find itself again.
