'Depression' a word quite common to hear in recent times. A word not only used by elders but students as well and its effect too are quite evident in society. Reducing this problem in the society is an urgent issue which is cause of concern now and researches have suggested that fauna can be very useful in promoting this social cause. Well, on the other hand it also raises another issue of concern i.e. prevention of fauna and provision of healthy habitats for them. If this happens only then it can promote the cause of well being.

So the purpose of task is to make IITR campus fauna inclusive which must be developed by keeping in mind the needs and behaviour, different species posses and to utilise the potential of this fauna community in creating a healthy environment where the term 'depression' will not exist

The presence of humans on campus has an impact on the privacy of animals. We'll have to set aside some time for such animals, depending on the mobility and movement of the students and instructors and the kind of interventions they are in. The mobility of both the beneficiaries— humans and animals—is documented below the grid.

SANCTUARY inclusive VETERINARY SANCTUARY inclusive VETERINARY

The site is selected is located on right hand side of the Saraswati temple taking into all considerations that this site remains the habitual centre part of IIT Roorkee campus. The Scantuary is located just besides the clinic which also acts as a integral part of it. All facilities such as electricity, water supply are easily available on the site.

The veterinary clinic at IIT Roorke offers you the most current information on the treatment of small animals such as cats and dogs, updates you on the latest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options.

FLOOR PLAN FLOOR PLAN

The main porpose of the design is to provide better services with atmost possible cleanlines and care. The ecolution is in the direction directed by oneof our stakeholders, the vetrinary doctor. The clinic design provides dedicated areas focusing on animal treatment like anesthesia rooms, consultation rooms, operation theatres, pharmacy etc.

The aim is to create a pet friendly hostel which can also cater to non pet fauna of campus and visual interaction with them to create a positive envioronment around the people living there. The hostel also aims to provide basic facilities for students along with having specific places for the pet fauna. One important aim to be kept in mind was to utilise the flora on the site rather than destroying it.

The surroundings around the site is covered with the landscape so more birds are there in area and therefore nesting bricks are provided in that portion of the building which does not have windows, it is given so that birds dont interrupt those who don like birds.

BACK COURTYARD

LEGEND

The site is to be chosen in such a way that it must not be sorrounded by high buildings, also the site must be sorrounded by proper landscaping so that retrofitting in building could work in a much better way. Also the site must not be located near the faculty housings.

VISUAL CONNECTION

The back courtyard is created with ideology to have landscaping in such a way it invites fauna in the area which are mainy birds and squirrels due to more landscaping around the site therefore plants are given by providing big holes. Along with it, its connectivity is given in such a way that administrative area, waiting rea and rooms can have direct visual interaction with the fauna in the backyard.

ELEVATIONS

Zoning is done in such a way that front has its direct entrance to mess and cirricular area. The mess has been divided one for students with non pets and one for the ones which have pets which is inturn bifercated for the one which have aggressive pets. This area opens to backyard which provide entrance to rooms. Now moving to first floor it has small gallery space connected grooming and day care centre, open landscape area for pets with glass boundary to have a look at backyard. Also a skywalk is provided to have a look in backyard fauna. Looking at mess there is a tree over there so with the view of saving flora, fenestration is provided in roof which inturn give the advantages like interaction with neraby birds and also this tree can be viewed from open yard on the first floor.

Butterfly watching has gained significant favor in recent years. Butterflies are colorful, diverse, abundant, and active during the day in warm months, making them an ideal pursuit for fauna lovers. In fact, wildlife watching as a whole, given impetus by the increased awareness of regional and ecological diversity, is a good outdoor recreational activity.

This also keeps the effect of the visual rise of the actual dome as we go uphill on the slope towards the main building ust like a sun.

RED FORT 5

For many today Shahjahanabad is synonymous with old Delhi, the heart of the city, a fascinating melange of the different eras of Delhi's history, but with a throbbing life in the present. It is a lively commercial hub, and this is where the Municipal Corporation of Delhi is still centred. Shahjahan's magnifi cent Red Fort, with its elegant palaces, symbolises a legacy of political power, which is why the Prime Minister's address to the nation on Independence Day is from the Red Fort. There is much to attract the visitor to this part of Delhi. There are many places of worship – mosques, Hindu and Jain temples, gurudwaras, churches. There are markets, many of them specialising in specific types of goods and at rates lower than in other parts of the city - such as the spice market of Khari Baoli the jewellers' street of Dariba Kalan, and the paper market of Chawri Bazar. And as you pass along you see intricately carved façades and doorways of havelis that might afford a glimpse of peaceful and green courtyards of traditionally laid out homes. This is where Delhi's best Karachi halwa, bedmi and parathas can be eaten, and where you can see what is probably India's only

Red Fort of Delhi is a very popular historical monument as national flag is hoisted on 15th August and 26th January on the auspicious occasion of Independence Day and Republic Day respectively. The fort was under the Mughals for nearly 200 years

So here after long hours of exploring , I have documented the magnificance of the red fort its architectural elements

Aatmanirbhar i.e a building which does not depend on anything for its day to day functioning.

Not so clear No worries !

Aatmanirbhar skyline is a futuristic idea and design of year ahead 2050 Here Aatmanirbhar (an Indian word depicting Self reliant ) and skyline indicating links of work functioning in single vertical strand. The vision indicates less population due to reasons like biological warfare world war increase in level of hazardous gases or harsh weather condition in which only survival of the fittest is possible and the load of doing different work per individual will increase. No doubt of robots being the helping hands. The skin of the building will allow dynamic view control and solar energy harvesting and intake.

Building model includes rain water harvesting system and collec-tion plant , energy generation system using algae biogas , wind and solar radiation using organic electronic technology Food and Animal farms, Robotic center and clinic for emergency, Function halls and Central park for social gatherings , skywalks linking other buildings Self-fuel generation and Temperature reg-ulating section using algae and biogas residue plants, Recycling waste materials and used water system and garbage manage-ment system are installed in building. 4 All the major facilities will reduce the dependency on outer world and will lead to the achievement of sustainable living in future.

MISCELLANEOUS WORK MISCELLANEOUS WORK

INDIAN MARKET SURVEY ...

Did the survey of rates and texture of materials available in an indian market.

Also surveyed about some construction materials and fittings used in a household and compiled all those in a market survey report.

UP, UP AND UP

For thw annual convocation of the college, designed and built 1:1 installations. Waste materials and scrap metal were used for the construction of the frame and diiferent kind of timber waste of bamboo and deodar were used for the outer covering of each cube.

It was a typography exercise with the intention to famalierise the new beginners with the fonts and styles used in architectural practice.

So here to get the maximum learning I tried to replicate the newspaper with each of its coloumn in a different typography.

It is a cardboard model which was made out of a biscuit box representing a slum area

So the cost of the model was just INR 30 i.e a low cost project which was intentionally done to indicate the economical conditions of the people who live in slum and grab the attention of all those towards the architecture that is required in an area like a slum.

Designed a logo for the annual convocation of the college and managed a team of 30 students to complete the wall painting on the boundary of convocation hall . The same design was painted on the floor tile of convocation hall.

For thw annual convocation of the college, designed and built 1:1 installations. Waste materials and scrap metal were used for the construction of the PRISM frame.

The intent of the exercise was that to get familierise with the effects of tints and tones of colours in a desired pattern.

So I created these three patterns and used the tints and tones of different colors to create some kind of illusions.

THEME : BALANCE

The clay model shows an animal and human beings i.e both man and woman.

So this clay model represents that we human beings and the animals are in balance with each other and if we disturb this balance created by nature due to the anthropogenic activities , then the sustainance of us is also difficult.

Moreover in the species of homo sapien sapiens balance of both the gender is equally important . Otherwise it could lead to large scale problems which could be currently seen in many nations i.e the sex ratio , economy etc.

This is the replica of London Bridge made of matchstics. So here I learned sme interlocking techniques from matchsticks which made our model stable enough to stand and survive !

These are some of the animals made using folding of paper i.e orihami technique.This execise was basically a warm up exercise to get familierise with the technique and then move to next stage.
