Museum of Modern Art Kamaraj Salai, Chennai Project: Architectural Thesis Year: 2014 Semester: X Type: Public Museum Location: Kamaraj Salai, Chennai Area: 22755 sqm Mentors: Prof. Sambuddha Sen Prof. Sathish Dabral Proposition Can the Museum Of Modern Art in Chennai help in reviving the lost galore of the artists and painters in South India specifically and India in general ?
The architectural thesis of creating a Museum of Modern Art has one single vision, to bring back the museum culture into the lives of the locals of the city of Chennai. The museum therefore had to be envisaged in a space which had high levels of public movement. The museum is to be a landmark in term of expression with not only what is present within the museum but the museum itself. The museum would also allow local artists a space to work and express themselves through workspaces and exhibition spaces. Permanent and temporary art galleries would allow international artists and designers to keep Chennai as an artistic hub of India. 6

Site Precinct zoning proposals
22755 sqm
Site A site along the Marina beach on the Kamaraj Salai is along an institutional zone in the next Master Plan of Chennai. The site acts as a physical connect from the Metro Station to the Marina beach.
Design Stage level design with a few core concepts of an external looking museum, tapping in on public thoroughfare and attaining maximum view into the beach are used as a progressive design strategies. Presence of workshops spaces, libraries and informal shopping spaces along the thoroughfare to increase the interests of the passerby in the museum. 7
Facade The building facade in a building that intends to attract people passing by is as equal as the function of its building. A public museum in a precinct with more than 30000 visitors everyday must be in such a way that in draws people. The building thus is designed in such way that it is a merely a sculpture, a piece of art. A piece of art that is organic and evolving. The mechanical facade system consists of wooden louvers that create a tessellation along the building.

Building Structure The structure of the building focuses on creating both small and large spaces throughout. A radial plan focusing at the exit of the metro station and drop off point remains the focal point of the structure. The structure works with the same line with radial load bearing walls at every 22 degrees.

Walk to Work, Inclusive Housing Okhla Industrial Estate, New Delhi Project: Group housing Year: 2012 Semester: VII Type: Contextual Group Housing Location: Okhla, New Delhi Area: 65200 sqm Mentors: Prof. IM Chisti
The exercise is to study and understand an industrial estate within New Delhi at an urban level by proposing suitable interventions in groups of five and in turn individually propose a contextual housing settlement for the people of the given industrial estate. The Okhla Industrial Estate is one of the oldest Industrial Estates in New Delhi. Set off in 1954 during the first phase of development of independent India, the estate has now grown in three phases. The urban design proposal of Okhla Phase I aims at rejuvenating the estate as a whole by concentrating on the issues of parking and housing settlements within it. Unused waste lands are identified to convert them to parking lots and 5 sites are chosen which are interconnected and optimally placed within the estate.
10
Urban Design for Okhla I Having done a complete survey of the estate we come to know that low income groups are the ones with the need of housing along with estate thus resulting in 50% of the total built units.

Site
The site chosen for my individual housing design is one of the sites which replaces a present slum settlement. With the idea of creating true inclusivity within the site the design aims to create a single structure.

Core Workability Each core on a side double up for catering to different groups at different floors. With a restriction of height the number of cores in the site are kept to a minimum of 6 for 742 units. The core works with 4 lifts and 2 stairs in total with 2 lifts working for the lower floors with EWS and LIG housing groups and the other 2 lifts which directly reach the MIG and HIG floors from the drop off point in the ground. Cores of HIG units open into semi private open green. TYPICAL CORE BREAK UP
Structure The layout of grid is in such a ways that it creates effective spaces for EWS, LIG, MIG and HIG. A 10X10 grid is used for creating a passage for circulations and spaces for each units work as a multiple of smaller units.

Clusters MIG and HIG units form a vertical cluster of 5 floors each. 3 of these clusters exist along the site. These clusters have an exclusive open green on the HIG floor which can also be accessed by the MIG. These clusters help providing certain level of exclusivity to the high end income group in a inclusive housing community. MIG and HIG clusters are present from 9th to 13th floors and from the 14th to 18th floors.

Transit oriented
Project: Urban Design Year: 2013 Semester: IX Type: Mixed development Location: South Ex, New Delhi Area: 160200 sqm Mentors: Prof. Sathish Khanna Team: Shashank, Anish, Dorji South Extension markets is one of the best high end commercial spaces in Delhi. South Ex market along with 3 other markets were chosen for an urban study to evaluate the potential of each market. The South Ex market lies on the most important arterial road of the city, The Ring Road, furthers gains importance due to the presence of residential zones in its periphery. The market in present is bisected into two by the Ring Road going through it. A stern step of the unification of the two by creating a physical connect was the first step to this redevelopment scheme. This idea helped not only enhanced pedestrianism and inclusivity but also helped in creating one unified market.
Visual enhance 14
Greens spaces are enhanced through the markets and housing complexes and aimed at creating one large green space. A depression is created in the main market spaces to improve the efficiency and natural lighting of spaces. Keeping in mind the economic gains of having stores facing the Ring Road, all housing complexes respond in such a way that the two bottom floors work as high end shopping centers whose terraces double up as private gardens for the housing complex.

Slum Redevelopment Kathputli Colony, New Delhi Project: HUDCO Trophy Year: 2012 Semester: VII Type: National Design Competition Location: Shadipur, New Delhi Area: 52,200 sqm Team: Shashank, Shobitha, Vishal Dipayan
The HUDCO Trophy of 2012 had the design brief of redevelopment of a slum settlement in a sustainable manner by keeping in mind the demands of the slum dwellers. Kathputli colony is one of the oldest slum settlements of Delhi. Primarily a slum consisting of artists from Rajasthan, the colony is one of the few settlements which has more societies from more than 15 states. Artists of this settlements not only needed a redevelopment in terms of living units but also workshops a space to exhibit their art forms. The basic concept of the proposed housing settlement is to keep the organic nature of colony alive. The present nodes in the form of temples and trees are kept as the basis of redevelopment. Pedestrian and vehicular movements are also retained to maintain the essence of the society.

Making Slums Smarter Smart Cities Seminar 2013 Project: Seminar Year: 2013 Semester: IX Type: Research paper, Presentation Location: New Delhi Mentors: Mrs. Mukta Naik Dr Ranjana Mittal Mrs Jaya Kumar Chairperson: Dr Renu Khosla How can the slum be brought within the folds of smart cities? While Delhi thrives to become smart, this seminar provides an insight into the ingenious and innovative means for a slum to cope up with the challenges posed to it both from within and by the city and eventually become a part of this global phenomenon. For this purpose a few baselines for the vision of smartness have been set and entities such as the ‘slum’ (Indra Gandhi camp, Taimoor Nagar), an ‘Indian city’ (Delhi) and a ‘notion of smart city’ (Amsterdam) have been quantitatively compared and analyzed. From the knowledge that we acquire from these quantitative studies, an unbiased comparison of the slum, the city, and the smart city, can be made standing at the same pedestal. Also, it provides a perceptive of how Delhi and its slums can together move towards smartness, creating a vivid future for the city as a whole.
A sample comparison matrix of a slum quantified with parameters
The seminar attempts to detach the slums from their present repute and place them in a new light which is distinct from the traditional psyche of retrofit/ redevelop. Through innovative solutions slums will advance into ideological trade-offs and reach an equitable situation with the present infrastructure, environment, economic conditions, governance provided to them to for an acceptable standard of living. 18
Exploring Negative Spaces in an Urban Environment Research Question: What is the relevance of Negative spaces in an urban context? Case studies: Urban level: Yamuna riverfront;Sabarmati riverfront Precinct level: Schindia House Cannaught Place Site level: Flyovers at Sarai Kale, Delhi, Mathikele Bangalore, JJ Mumbai
Illustration of a Negative Space in an Precinct and its present utilization (Schindia House, Connaught Place)
Architectural Dissertation 2012 Project: Dissertation Year: 2012 Semester: VII Type: Research paper Location: New Delhi Mentors: Mrs. Arpita Dayal Dr Ranjana Mittal Mrs Jaya Kumar Negative Spaces or left over spaces are those spaces that are formed as residue to one of many reasons. They could be formed due to ineffective planning, poor design ideologies or usability of land. . The aim of this research is to understand negative spaces in an urban context by learning about it cause of formation their present use and possible ways of effective utilization. Delhi is taken as the site for analyzing these spaces at an city level, at an urban precinct level and at a site level. A broad case study of each of these spaces is done and a parallel example of how a space of similar nature is used is shown via secondary case studies. The primary case study of negative spaces on a city level are The Yamuna Riverfront which consists of nearly 350 Km sq of unused land around it. A comparison of the waterfront is done to the Sabarmati waterfront in Gujarat where public spaces, markets, open air theaters and seating has been proposed. Delhi is a city of flyovers. With a total of 54 in the last decade these flyovers have taken over most of the public space along roads. The spaces under these flyovers though have been completely underutilized. Comparisons are made with flyovers across India where these spaces are used as makeshift shelters, markets and public recreational centers. Examples of these present negative space thus give us an idea of an urban level redevelopment in the city and how effective use of these spaces can help rejuvenating public experience. 19
Electives Space Syntax
Year: 2012 Semester: VII Type: Software Based Analysis Mentor: Prof. Amit Sarma
The 6 month course helped us to get an insight into space syntax and depth map. The Connaught Place, New Delhi is used to study the usability of Space Syntax and to identify negative spaces. Various parameters are given into the Depth Map which give results based on survey values. Parameters in the depth map of CP include show the reasons for the formation of negative spaces. This method can also be used within a building to identify the nature of space present. Connectivity

Contemporary Design
Year: 2014 Semester: X Type: Research paper Approach Mentor: Dr. Leon Morenas
The intent of this elective was to help uncover some of the self-evidently true presuppositions that were made when one designs and to be able to think critically about design to uncover the unrecognized presuppositions that form the basis of actions. The main idea of the elective was to familiarize with the conceptual tools typically used in the critical analysis of architectural approaches and the ability to use some of them while designing. It helped us to read an architects text and recognize unstated assumptions that authors use while presenting their case and arrive at suitable conclusions. The elective involves analysis and critique of various research papers, journals and works by noted designers. The program helped us students, to expose ourselves to a new spectrum of analytics in the design world. Papers worked upon during the course included

The Hands On Factory Workshop, 2013-14 Project: Co-curricular Workshop Year: 2013-14 Semester: VIII-X Type: Student Organization Coordinators: Shashank, Vishal, Aditi, Kabilan, Kaushik, Kota Website: https://www.facebook. com/handsonfactory/
The Hand On Factory was initiated in 2013 by a group of friends in SPA New Delhi with an idea of gaining practical knowledge in design. It is a design collective that seeks to cultivate hands-on skill and exploration through workshops for the students. The group has conducted workshops on Kinetectonitcs, Origami, Brick Masonary, Mapping and Surveying, Installations and settlement studies. These workshops have not only helped we as students to understand the different faces of design through practicality but also gain organizational skills by being a part of The Hands On Factory.

Delhi, the Invisible City
Chasms of Shahjahanabad Chasms of Shahjahanabad was a workshop done in collaboration with Ngee Yan Polytechnic Institute Singapore. The aim of this workshop was to learn about the organic settlement of Old Delhi. Along with Prof. Henry Fanthome the Hands On Factory helped students to gain first hand knowledge of the city. The first stage was a physical survey of Old Delhi to learn about the streets leading into Jama Masjid which was one of the focal points of Mughal capital.
New Delhi is a master-planned capital city. Its unplanned spaces such as Urban Villages, Extended Abadi areas, Unauthorized Colonies and JJ Clusters tend to be seen as the margins of the planned city. Yet a majority of citizens live and work in these unplanned areas of the city. We term these spaces “the invisible city� because architects, planners and social scientists rarely find out how these spaces function.
The second phase of the workshop This interdisciplinary workshop brings together scholars in urban planning, involved creating mental maps of architecture and the social sciences to conduct preliminary investigations, the streets and analyzing the nods through interviews, surveys and mapping to explore how these spaces work. and the reasons for their origin. This research is intended to open up questions, and generate new concepts about urban space in the contemporary Indian city.

Pondicherry, Ovoid Atelier
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT
The basis of housing in Thengaithittu stemmed from two main concepts: to ensure every housing unit had a view into the sea nearby and to provide hundred percent vastu in every house. In order to create these requirements a cluster of three units vertically were chosen and punctures were created alternatively. The units that are stacked one above the other can also be coverted into duplex flats according to the client needs. Since each apartment is open on all four side it allows complete freedom of individuality to each unit as per client. My role in the project involved design development, client meetings and discussions and a set of initial drawings of the blocks and units.

Working as an intern architect in PPA Gangtok helped me understand how design is influenced by the forces of nature. Designing along the hills takes a completely tangential approach where space is worked through sections.

Malsi Deer Park Watch Tower Watch tower at the Malsi Deer Park is designed to merge along with the surrounding spaces. The structural system though consists of I section, the building is enveloped by half cut bamboo sticks. Various levels have different functional purposes including seating, look out tower and guardroom.
Origami Research With my interest in hands-on work I worked as a research assistant of an origami artist who worked on abstract origami forms. Patterns were first tried out in scaled paper models and then replicated into full size metal installations. The aim of the research was to develop geometries with respect to prototyping furniture and false ceiling systems using origami and folding. The research included creating a increasing wavelength of a double caterpillar in a concentric manner.
