West facade: Modules made of glass panels containing micro algae which can shade the windows while cleaning the air and producing energy.
The south facade has solar chimneys which improve the indoor temperature. Maximum openings given in north facing facade.
Width of blocks is restricted to maximum 14m to make maximum use of daylight. Atriums act as lightwells and help in ventilation.
DESIGN INTENT This design aims to cater to the needs and aspirations of public as well as the employees without wasting much space and energy. It attempts to gain maximum energy efficiency following the norms mentioned in green rating systems.

CLIENT PROFILE A homestay was to be desgined along with a residence for a weaver’s family in the heritage city of Chandannagar, West Bengal. Focus was given to maintain the character of the town’s traditional architectural style and the client’s needs. Just opposite to the site is a baoli which is used as a community space as well.

ZONING OF ACTIVITIES RESPONSE TO CONTEXT The levels of the residence have been designed in a way that there is not much change in the existing slope. In order to overcome the existing drainage problems, a dry creek bed has been created. The water from this creek bed eventually reaches a rain garden which has native shrubs and flowering plants of Chanderi. USER EXPERIENCE The guests and the hosts share the same dining space that is semi-open (reflecting the traditional congregational space. Mohammed’s room is customised to get maximum daylight for the loom

STONE, the heritage of Chanderi is used as the major construction material. No construction material is as durable, stong or weather resistant as stone. Random rubble masonry is used for the walls. Even though Vernacular materials are used, the use of modern materials is not completely restricted. Concrete slabs and glass is also used wherever necessary.
ROOF PLAN
The courtyard acting as an interactive space for the family. This has a positive impact on the micro climate as well.
WALL SECTION
Thatched roof has been used for some rooms since it is ideal for places with a hot climate. Water reed of Chanderi weaved by local weavers is used.

SITE - Ooty, Tamil Nadu. The objective of this project was to design a pod for our own self. Site was of students’ choice. Introduction to anthropometry and an attempt to transform concepts and ideas into built form.
MATERIAL - Ferrocement To support the organic shape and provide good thermal insulation. Wall mounted furniture - to save space. Refreshing spaces - Dance room and Reading room.
Biomimicry - Earthworm Earth sheltering is the practice of using earth against building walls for external thermal mass to maintain a steady indoor temperature. Only southern facade is exposed to air. This orientation was chosen to get maximum daylight and warmth.

CHANDERI, MADHYA PRADESH
PLAN OF GHOSI’S HOUSE
Chanderi is a town in Madhya Pradesh which is very famous for its’ silk sarees. Most of the houses in this town were designed and built by the owners themselves. Stone wall is a characteristic feature of these houses and they function notably well in that climate. But the new houses getting built today are of brick and concrete. The purpose of this study was to document the traditional architecture of Chanderi and learn how it responds to the lifestyle of the people, and thus understand why it is important to not let the architectural character of this town fade away.

CHINSURAH, WEST BENGAL Between the 17th and 19th Century, Chinsurah was a prosperous trading post of the Dutch East India Company. It was a location perfect for pleasure gardens and mansions, with steps leading down to the Hooghly river. Even today, Chinsurah has remains of the Dutch colony in its architecture and lifestyle. The aim of our study was to understand and document the co existence of Dutch and Bengali heritage and to identify how it impacts the social and cultural life of the people.

Ponds (pukur) dot the landscape of cities in the southern part of West Bengal. A possible theory of formation of pukurs proposes that the excavation carried out for obtaining earth for the manufacture of bricks to be used in surrounding houses left trenches, which were then converted to water bodies. These water bodies eventually became a place for social interaction and also help in supplementing the livelihoods of the residents through small-scale aquaculture.

MUMBAI AND FLOODS One of the urban agglomerations of India is to be chosen and redesgined into a hyperresilient city, which in case of a natural disaster would remain unaffected and also accomodate people from nearby affected areas without much disturbance to the residents.
Resilience is not just about being prepared for a disaster but also about preventing it. one of the major reasons for floods and sea level rise is the climate change. City planning should be done without disrupting the environment HYPER RESILIENCE
ELEVATED STREETS

Floodable parks: Buffer spaces in normal times. At times of flood, these will get filled with water, helping the water to percolate and keeping other spaces dry.
This typical street section shows the centre median further dividing the street into a green space, leaving a percolation ground which helps recharge the ground water table.
