// 01 Saving Drift : Revitalising Loktak Lake & Promoting Eco-tourism Tutors J ake M ou lso n + D av id Hem ingway F i n a l ye a r m a s t e r’s d esig n Loktak Lake, situated in the state of Manipur, is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India and a prominent tourist destination. It attracts a substantial number of visitors each year, especially during the monsoon season. The lake is also a haven for numerous bird species, fish, and other aquatic life, making it afavorite spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Located amidst the captivating landscapes of Loktak Lake, this design project aims to address the current state of wetlands. The proposed Loktak Ecological Conservatory, a beacon of sustainable architecture, emerges as a symbol of our collective determination to protect and restore this natural wonder. These designs serve as a testament to the power of human ingenuity when it harmonizes with the rhythms of nature.

Aqa-Eco Decline

Lillies Through Lens

Throughout history, mankind has often regarded the sea as a malleable resource, bending it to their will and driven by insatiable greed. In the process, we have encroached upon the sea’s territories, transforming it into a dumping ground for our waste. Yet, in our misguided belief of command and control, the world has responded with its own retaliation. Hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, and droughts serve as poignant reminders of humanity’s callous disregard for the environment.

The interplay between the observer and the observed, and the transformative power of capturing moments through the lens. It urges us to recognize that there is an ethereal quality inherent in nature, which can only be truly apprehended when viewed through the lens of a camera—a medium that allows us to unveil the unseen, appreciate the imperceptible, and celebrate the unspoken beauty that surrounds us.

Historic events // Loktak lake history, context & community In the era of 1970 the community of Meitei depended entirely on the lake and their traditional knowledge in fishery is transferred over successive generation. They had indigenious fishing gear and their ecosystem was flourished with both aquatic and land animals including the dancing deer.

In 1980 the barrage project was commissioned as a part of a global shift to commercialise the loktak lake and as a part of this project was ITHAI the hydroelectric dam.

In 1983 the people are dredging out weeds as a result of increased erossion and use of fertilizer. The dam led to breaking of the perimeter of the lake resulting in flooding. And the farmers became fishermen and fishemen became many.

In the 1990’s the wetlands of Loktak lake became of international importance due to the depletion of the resources and abuse of the lake by overfishing. Further leading to the decline of lake and it’s community. Now the rotting vegetation of the Phumdis have been pilling up the lake bed.

The unique architectural features and composition of phumdis in Loktak Lake contribute to the ecological richness and biodiversity of the area. Understanding and preserving these floating marshes are crucial for maintaining the delicate balance of the lake ecosystem and supporting the livelihoods of the communities. By embracing these approaches, the Loktak Ecological Conservatory can emerge as a beacon of hope for the future of Loktak Lake. Through its dedication to conservation, community engagement, research, and sustainable practices, the conservatory can help ensure the long-term ecological health and resilience of this precious natural treasure for generations to come. The story continues, and it is in our hands to shape the legacy we leave behind—a legacy that honors the past, protects the present, and ensures a vibrant and flourishing future for Loktak Lake and its surrounding communities.

// 02 Maggie’s centre : A Retreat Tutors S usa n n e I sa + S im o n Herron + Nic k Elia s

Located in Fawley, this design project aims to give time off from the exhausting city life to cancer patients and reconnect them with nature. As a retreat, Maggie’s centre is not a typical cancer centre that only patients are allowed in, but it is a home-like setting where cancer patients and their families can participate in activities, attend workshops, and heal in nature to relieve stress. Centres such as these have a profound psychological, and emotional impact on the people who use them, so creating the space that has a positive impact on patients is integral to their function. To build a comprehensive healing process, the goal is to make all healing methods and resources accessible in one location. The goal is to create spaces and resources that prioritise wellness and growth through comfort and trust for users. Providing a clean and healthy environment for cancer patients became the first step in the design process through architecture.

Plan of Maggie Centre

The site for Maggie’s centre is selected according to context and spatial environment. Considering the benefit of surrounding to the users, and understanding resilience and positive adjustment required, and also different cancer treatments at the centre. Because the dangerous air from the industrial sector increases the prevalence of lung cancer and Maggie’s centre are a little further away, the proposal of this centre would benefit the people who live there and in the nearby area.

// 03 Urban Square Tutors A r. A a k a s h M a h a l e

Urban spaces have always played a vital role in the generation and continuation of our civilization. Urban squares are closely associated with the public image of the cities to which they belong, often with special significance for the city itself. Great public spaces are the living room of the city – the place where people come together to enjoy the city and each other. Redefining the Vanita Vishram Ground into a public square for Surat needed a proper program and analysis backing it. Hence, depending on various events held around the year, programmatical zoning has been deduced to the major zoning for the proposal.

The major drawback on the site was the parking facilities to be provided couldn’t be done above the ground. Hence, the amphitheater and parking facilities were taken underground to solve the issue of overcrowding and chaos. The green cover in Surat has been steadily depleting due to various industrial growths and business developments. Hence, to provide green spaces as well which is centrally located was a major aim for the project as well. The canopy being semi-circular produces a porous enclosure for nature to penetrate but still demarks a space for activities to take place. The main central plaza being below the ground level helps in achieved higher view points as well for the visitors to enjoy a program without possessing the need to enter it.

The site is located in one of the busiest areas of the city. Therefore, it experiences a large yearly footfall due to major exhibitions, fairs, festivity celebrations, and business expos. The site has always been a part of the city and hence is connected to most major institutions and commercial areas by a 40-meter wide road network. Its location is of extreme importance as it is at the connecting point between the two major localities which are separated by the river Tapi. The cohesive nature and multipurpose personality are what make the project justifiable. . Planning a core space for the urban sqare

Cityscape seen from the amphitheater within the plaza The roof’s structural system has been designed by keeping in mind to create a lightweight, easy to maintain, and contemporary appeal to it. The roofing structural system is an aluminium space frame structure with aluminium cladding over it. Solar panels would be inserted and fitted into these aluminium frames over areas with maximum exposure to the Sun to work efficiently. The solar panels located on the top are counterbalanced with openings in the roof to make it look porous and lightweight as well as allow wind to pass through it. Supported on steel members, the roof would be able to sustain an intense climate as well. The steel canopy has been positioned with its back facing the south, therefore gaining and capture maximum sunlight on the solar panels on top to generate electricity and making it self-sustainable and economical. The urban further provides platforms for various cultural and businessoriented activities and programs to be held. The ambiance created allows people to feel refreshed and gives them breathing spaces while located within the central city. The curvilinear landscape complements the curve of the canopy and also softens its impact on the viewer due to its scale. Such urban squares may become a necessity in cities with such rich cultural and a social backgrounds.

Due to overpopulation and deforestation, the connection between humans and architecture has been degrading at an alarming speed. As the cities continue to grow, the way we construct and manage buildings has never been more crucial to global economic and social development. Overpopulation in cities is an important issue in the world, silently increasing the forces behind the current environmental problems. The vital task in a city is to pack a lot of people in one place without depleting the quality of life. The soul of the city is in its people, culture, and heritage, architecture adds the character to it. But as we progress in time today, all we see is tall glass cutting edge buildings disconnected with the people and the city around. We must figure out how to make our cities more livable and sustainable without causing the seemingly inevitable march of duplicity.

The skyscraper consists of residential and service floors with regular sky gardens at every 20 floors. The sky garden brings the landscape to the sky with proper green roofs with sustainable materials in use and also provides a green space at elevated levels with multiple amenities. This pushes the line between the built and the open with multiple gaps for air circultion and also provides a counteracting thrust for the air pressure at top.

The form and structure of the skyscraper has been created to withstand natural wear and tear and also sustain its form and function in the future. Technical advancements for a futuristic design and appeal has been adopted on various levels through the building to achieve modernity and adaptibility as well. It is a dynamic and adaptive vertical community that serves the needs of the inhabitant at the same time being a flag bearer of global responsibility towards the city below and the planet around.

Frontera Development Holding Limited has proposed a competition aimed at designing housing solutions for an indigenous African community. The competition’s objective was to create residences catering to diverse demographics within the community, along with the thoughtful design of open spaces tailored to both the elderly and the young. Additionally, a portion of the site was allocated for commercial use. To determine the layout and structure of the buildings, careful analysis of various area parameters was conducted to ensure efficiency and maximize functional space utilization. Given the irregular shape of the site, rather than challenging its inherent complexity, the design embraces its contours, establishing a clearly defined housing area. The inclusion of internal green spaces was a deliberate choice, taking into consideration the region’s extreme weather conditions and the convenience of those who may inhabit these homes.

The Geeta Mandir Bus Terminal project, situated in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is a versatile mixed-use transit facility. In my role on this project, I was responsible for producing comprehensive working drawings, overseeing monthly site visits, and actively engaging in project meetings with our clients. Notably, this terminal boasts several notable architectural features, including its striking design and cost-effective construction, making it one of Gujarat’s largest and most remarkable bus terminals. The design was meticulously crafted with a focus on user-friendliness. This project provided me with invaluable insights into the intricacies of managing large-scale endeavors and overseeing construction sites, contributing significantly to my professional growth and learning experiences. Additionally, this project served as a valuable platform for bridging connections between various levels of professionals within the construction industry. Engaging in discussions with clients during the project was particularly instrumental in my professional journey, acting as a significant stepping stone for personal and career growth. It not only expanded my network but also honed my communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, further enhancing the depth of my architectural expertise.

The architectural approach prioritized a warm and open experience for the client, who intended to use this as a second home with minimal maintenance requirements. The design incorporated a unique window pattern resembling a jigsaw puzzle. Outward-projecting windows were strategically placed to maximize ventilation and scenic views, while inward-projecting windows provided private and serene spaces. This project served as a creative playground, allowing me to explore innovative design ideas I had not ventured into before. It provided a tremendous learning experience, pushing the boundaries of my design capabilities and offering valuable insights into marrying luxury and minimalism effectively.

The Dosti Reality project represents a visionary approach to urban architecture in Mumbai. Its highrise residential towers are not only a testament to modern living but also a showcase of architectural innovation. With thoughtful design features and a commitment to harmonizing with the city’s dynamic landscape, this project aims to redefine urban living in Mumbai, promising residents not just a home but a lifestyle that blends seamlessly with the vibrant essence of the city. The involvement in the Dosti Reality project marked a significant step in my professional journey, exposing me to the complexities of largescale architectural endeavors in a city as dynamic as Mumbai.

This project involves designing the interiors of a 4BHK residential space in Surat, with a focus on minimalistic design. The client’s preference was for a subtle design and a calming color palette. We incorporated raw and warm materials such as wood, cane, fabric, beige flooring, and eggshell white paint to achieve this ambiance. My responsibilities included creating working drawings, conceptual design development, site visits, and client meetings. The project exemplifies the beauty of minimalism in design, resulting in an understated yet inviting living space.

The proposed interior design project is situated in Surat and involves the renovation of a 2BHK apartment owned by a Parsi family. The existing interior of their 2BHK apartment featured a simple design with antique furniture pieces. The clients expressed their desire to give their living space a fresh and revitalized energy. A significant aspect of this project was the preservation of the antique furniture that held deep emotional value for the family, passed down through generations. To transform the space, we initiated by replacing the existing vitrified tiles with luxurious full-body gray marble textured tiles, creating an elegant and timeless foundation. In the living room, we employed sepia brown wooden texture laminate along with a dark grey tone for the MDF elements, forming a harmonious and traditional pairing.

The use of gray, an alluring and refined neutral color, added sophistication and versatility to the space. For the kitchen, we selected Satvaro marble stone for the countertops, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of this essential area. Throughout the project, the meticulous selection of colors and materials remained a paramount consideration. This approach was pivotal in achieving the desired transformation while preserving the sentimental value attached to the antique furniture, ultimately resulting in a space that beautifully blends the old and the new, creating a harmonious and refreshed atmosphere for the family.
