Abhiram Professional Engineer, NC. Sarvesh Gate Precast Intern 2020
Exposure to architectural precast making. After taking precast studio at NC State during my masters 2nd semester and attending the national convention, I took part and won first place in the precast design competition gave me further interest to learn architectural precast makings. Joined “Gate Precast Company” as a project management intern during the summer, I continued working part-time as BIM intern for the following 6 months. This work experience gave me the opportunity to collaborate with structural engineers and discuss industry nuances on achieving architectural design ideas to turn concrete.

Sarvesh + Rajvee Instructor: Wayne Place North Carolina State University M.Arch | IIIrd Sem | 2020 Tall Building Studio
New City There are two major cities near Alameda, and predominantly it has residential use. A new city is proposed in the old US naval base and connected to the east’s existing residential blocks. A new city required new high-speed connectivity with the neighboring cities, San Francisco and Oakland. The new city is expected to maintain its natural quality for the residents. The bay area residents are fond of nature and outdoor activities. Our city design and a tower scheme focused on creating exciting opportunities to connect nature and the city dwellers.

ALAMEDA
San Francisco
Context
The Alameda lies near two cities; San Franciso and Oakland. With rising residential needs, Alameda City’s proposed city design has taken severe consideration of Nature, Climate change, walking distance, User experience, and economics. The design proposal includes a new high-speed bridge connecting Alameda with neighboring cities, canal networks, and a masterplan for a cluster with a shared economic development plan.

CITY TOWER DESIGN
The Wrap
As we observed the natural propensity towards nature and the bay area dwellers’ nature, Our idea was to allow them to experience nature and outdoors in a best and a new dimension.
Canal Networks
City design Key factors
Canal Phase-01
Green conditions
Canal Phase-02
The City design has focused on including natural elements for a better urban experience and building and maintaining the city. For instance, the Canal network serves multiple purposes like transport, sea-level rise mitigation, Barges to carry heavy building materials, etc.

Panelization Layout
Privacy is a critical parameter in introducing a walking/ running loop on the residential tower. We achieved the desired loop on the tower by strategically organizing the residential units. All the units are uniquely designed to accommodate the intrusion of 10’ wide loop. It created exciting opportunities in the interiors of the residential units. Flight along longer face

Structral behaviours The A & B are the simplified rigid frame iterations. ‘A” is without bracing members and “B” has bracing members. Both the options are fed with dead loads inside a structural analysis program. The result shoes option “B” with bracing members performs better than the “A”. The deflections in thr diagrams are exaggerated.

Solid Box with piercing lights The College of Design extension on the West side of existing COD blocks is conceived as Solid carved out with the spatial void from the existing blocks. To bring light and life to the box several means are incorporated such as Cut outs, light wells and glass floors. This Studio focuses on Pre-Cast construction as the major method, the challenge was to carry the initial ideas of bringing natural light inside the box with all the pre cast construction parameters.

Cut Outs
The 3’ dia Light-wells are the finer forms of light intrusion followed by the 5’ dia cut-outs incorporated with the structural elements. The largest form of light intrusions are 40’ dia cutouts on each level allowing vertical circulation, on the southern side of each level the frosted glass floor on the review space. The semicircular cut outs on north and east side marks the entry access for the building.

Sarvesh Instructor: Dana Gulling North Carolina State University M.Arch | IInd Sem | 2020 WORK ac Case study | Concerete Studio
GFRC Panel Case Study As a part of Concrete Studio, we studied the Queens library project by WORKac. The project’s two major facades has curtain like GFRC panel. The process started with data collection and analyzing them with available resources. The dams are used over the mother mold to achieve the varying pattern with single mold design. We made partial panel prototype with real scale of the panel design. We explored two different material options; one with glass fibre with cement micture and another one with glass fibre with phosphorus and cement mixture. Credits: WORKac

With the limited exposure to the digital architecture spectrum, I explored a little on generative design solutions for my design problems. I truly enjoyed the freedom that these softwares provides and the wonder with the avenues of possibilities it posses for the future.

Understanding and working on prototype at this age is inevitable without the generative tools. In the process of pavilion design, I developed a working module that has its all parameters controlled in grasshopper.

Textile Lanterns in a glass container The Raleigh city is known for textile and it has been their major occupation. The industry has faced huge difficulties in the history; it had also evolved into contrasting forms from its beginning. From natural fabric to artificial fabric. These extremities are to be experienced in the craft center. Idea was to explore the methods of using architecture to express and experience the fabric. The Transition elements such as entry portal and staircase are few of the potential points to intensify the experience gradually before ending in the lantern studios on the upper levels. model view
