“No other art [architecture] employs a colder, more abstract form, but at the same time no other art is so intimately connected with man’s daily life from the cradle to the grave.” - Steen E. Rasmussen ‘Experiencing Architecture’, 1959

As an entry to the Laka Reacts International Competition, 2018, the board aims was to generate 1 board of
48” X 24” size to portray architecture capable of

reacting to and identified issue or problem. Hence the tag of the competition, “Architecture That Reacts”. The participant had complete discretion over the choice of the issue and the site. The core issue which is being tackled is the impending shortage of burial/ cremation space in our cities as the human population rises exponentially. New York was chosen as a site because of its increasing population clubbed

with a peculiar geographic location, and also because it has the ability to give the idea a significant stage and kick-start of a discussion. Additional functions aim at making the philosophical message heard. One which the building implies constantly with its program, spaces and experiences. “The Hall of Remembrance” rekindles the emotion of permanence and remembrance related to the conventional way of burial. It ensures that people are not forgotten into anonymity whilst a tombstone is nowhere to be found.

ECOSYSTEM
NEW YORK , similar to the rest of the world, will soon face a BURIAL SPACE striking yet ignored repercussion of population - the availability AUDITORIUM of Burial or Cremation grounds. With an ever increasing population , both locally and CREMATION SPACE globally, cities face a peculiar shortage of burial space. ECOSYSTEM BURIAL SPACE RECREATION
Vertical growth for cemeteries and the like holds the key. Also, there are various hidden prospects which “AFTERLIFE MAUSOLEUM” explores.

PART II - Detail & Fabrication Being a Two Part Studio, I was also involved in the detailing and fabrication of any specific detail of the architecture in the later half of the semester. The first part culminated with the submission of the board by the end of October, 2018. This fulfilled the requirement of the competition. The remaining part of the semester was spent in the fabrication lab, prototyping a detail which would eventually add a tangible anchor to an otherwise abstract and conceptual design exercise. I chose to develop a Kinetic Facade for the conical form of the building. The knowledge of deploy-ability of structures, introduced in the theory of structures class at U of I, was a key feature of the facade. I tried to bring the learnings from one class to inform my design studio, which I believe, is the most appropriate way to develop and learn. Architecture is about application of acquired knowledge.

Individual & Group Projects
•
Advisor : Prof. Sudarshan Krishnan
The course aimed at exploring the possibilities and geometries of deployable structures. It was composed of multiple projects both group as well as individual. Initial projects aimed at developing a basic understanding of the geometries of deployable structures, which could later be evolved into customising and transforming any structure into a deployable form. Project 1 - Deployable Ring Structures (Individual)
Explored the ability of doglegged scissor
members to enable radial deployment.
Project 2 - Hoberman Sphere (Individual)
Explored three dimensional deploy-ability of
similar doglegged scissor members
Project 3 - Radially Retractable Shell (Group)
Employed the concepts learnt during previous
exercises to create an architecturally viable
solution.

The project brought with itself a unique issue of multiple ownership. The site itself was too small to allow for the most pressing client requirement. The site has plots due for development on both sides, just abutting it’s boundaries. Hence, the design called for a courtyard between the front and the rear parts of the building thus dividing it into three individual parts, while also lighting up the basement as if it was open from the top. This also allows ample amount of sun and ventilation through the block so as to reduce energy requirements and also making the entire environment inside conducive for productive work. Key components of the design was spacial planning for the office floors, sustainable and viable economic and environmental planning and an attractive front facade.

The project allowed for exploration by virtue of the size of the site and liberal requirements of the client. However, the budget was a constraint as always is with architectural projects of this kind. The brief talked about a house for two brothers who wanted to live together, yet separately. It called for a twin house which could accommodate the requirements for both households. The house had to function as one and also should allow two units to function separately. The house also contains an elaborately designed landscaped garden, with barbecue facility along with outdoor seating and lounging facility.

The design of the Campus Facilities Block in an ongoing project of a Medical College, had a great scope to explore the possibilities and opportunities of explorations in a real world situation. The location of this commercial block at the junction of the academic and residential zones, virtually the center of the site, gave this particular block special importance. This block is the focus of most of the students’ leisure activities as well as a major revenue generator for the management. This required the built block to be well connected with other parts of the site, both visually and physically. The interaction with green and open spaces was also given importance. All of the aforementioned points were given due importance during the ideation of this commercial block. Due diligence was given to the technical drawings, considering on site execution. All design elements were resolved to the minutest of details under the guidance of Ar. Amit Hajela.

The project introduces a new typology for Courthouse Design. Never before was a medium/high rise typology explored for courthouse architecture. Breaking the shackles of complex functionality and rigid, dogmatic conventions to allow such an exploration was especially challenging. The concept of ‘Justice’ as put forward by the Greek philosopher Plato clearly revolves around it being a service to the public. Courts were places of public gathering, where general masses could see the ‘Law in Action’. This attitude is lost in the current courthouses. This project tries to reinstate the lost connection between courthouses and general public. The basic endeavour of this project was to see how explorations in design typologies & styles in judicial architecture can help in creating a more conducive environment for the court to perform its functions, along with making it more inclusive to the general masses, thus help towards creating a more informed society. Symbolism too plays a very important role in the realisation of this project. 23
Since windows cannot be provided in a courtroom because of security concerns, light-wells, with natural light falling on the audience, serve both a symbolic as well as a functional purpose.
FORM DEVELOPMENT : TOWER a. Reducing Ground coverage and increasing the height.
Creates valuable open space at the ground level
b. Staggering the block in pursuit of natural light
Creates possibility of open terrace spaces at upper level
c. Creating void spaces by lifting floor plates
Enables every floor to receive natural sunlight through lightwells
d. Allows a natural flow of wind through the building.

URBAN DESIGN New Delhi, India •
Academic Project
•
Final Year Undergraduate Studio : 2016
•
Group Project : Group of 4
•
Total Built-up : 240,000 sqm (2,400,000 sqft)
•
Location : New Delhi, India
This design studio was focused on examining the relationship between architecture and the urban fabric it fits into, especially tackling the problems in the city of New Delhi. The project was dealt with an outside-in approach, applying the learnt urban design principles of contextual response and understanding of the existing urban structure and fabric. A medium to high density, mixed use development is proposed, which could act as a catalyst for the development of this part of the city. It aims at tackling all the challenges the city throws at the site, be it the large volumes of people by virtue of its context (a metro station and housing on all sides) or the city’s harsh composite climate. We recognised the public thoroughfare through the site and responded to it through our zoning and site planning, leaving the existing desire lines unaffected. Also, the context played a major role in governing the placement of the different building types, namely, Office (with Convention facilities), Retail & Multiplex, Hotel, Housing & Social Infrastructure. Hotel was zoned near existing hotels, while the Office and housing maintained close proximity to the metro station. 31
KEY FEATURES •
Theoretical study and physical observations at the site were the key design drivers. Solutions to existing problems was the achieved objective.
•
The triangle surrounded by residential land-use was optimum to house the hospital and residential components of the program.
LANDUSE ANALYSIS AND RESPONSE Housing Office & Convention
Retail & Commercial Social Infrastructure
•
Zoning of the site gives due consideration to the context, which is complemented by the functions.
•
Connectivity and proximity are the greatest influencers of design.
•
Pedestrian movement and cycling is promoted through the site. Vehicular movement is restricted and limited to the boundaries where parking is appropriately provided.

HOTEL COMPLEX AGRA, INDIA •
Academic Project

Undergraduate Studio : 2015

Individual Project

Total Built-up : 24,000 sqm (240,000 sqft)
•
Location : Agra, India
The project brief of our 7th semester design problem was that of a Hotel. The proposed site was a live project in the majestic city of Agra. This project was a coming together of three separably operable business ventures under one ownership, These were a 4 star hotel, a Budget hotel and a 1200 capacity banquet hall. This brief posed special design constraints like guest and staff movement, specialised services and flow of operations and an extreme area crisis. The key design driver in the brief was the separate operability of all the required components. This meant that all the components needed separate access points, both for the guests and services, and their own open space of some sort. Since the ownership was the same, certain service oriented aspects could be clubbed. The site was considerable small for the amount and type of the built-up required by the client. A typical real-world issue. Hence, a new design approach was required, which asked for the hotel lobbies to be shifted to upper floors, as most of the allowed ground coverage was to be provided to the 1200 capacity banquet hall. 37
