the architect’s act
the architect’s act the architect’s act
I am always thinking, “where am I?” In this world of architecture, “where does my architecture stand?” Is it all about the form, or is it about structure? Is it the context, or the style? Churchill once said “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” So, if Churchill is to be believed, it’s really about man and his interaction with architecture. It is about the acceptance of the new structure by the users, the surroundings, and the environment. It’s the society and culture that influences architecture, and therefore architecture bears the testimony to the civilizations that have existed. To me a building, a space will be successful if the user says that he would like to come back to it time and again, just for what it is, to enjoy the environment created by the architecture. The user moves with the space and feels its presence around him and thus the architect’s act builds an interactive statement between the user and the building.

the third place SITE AREA :1.37 ACRES LOCATION : CONEY ISLAND , NY The third place, as Ray Oldenburg describes, provides that place of refuge away fron home and work where an individual can be with himself. It does not have to be a quiet place of solitude; it can be a coffee shop, bus stop, or a library. These places give the user the flexibility to choose between public and private exposure. Third places serve as community spaces where chance encounters take place, thus fostering interaction. These are easily accessible for everyone. The project began with the idea to create a space for the people. The design was gradually molded by the urban context of the site. Through the analysis, it was concluded that a plaza is essential to the site, that would harbour the energy of the surroundings and provide a platform to the people to interact with the community. Moreover, the plaza provides opportunities of employment for the society; and uses resource conservation and reuse to meet the set goal of sustainability. As the analysis progressed, the program evolved to be divided into four parts: the active plaza, the serene garden, the library
and the museum. The scope of this project was limited to the development of the plaza, garden and the library. It will serve as a third place and provide contemplative and interactive spaces at different levels considering the whole community.

The site forms an urban center of activities that provide for functions that satisfy community needs. The raw material produced on site in orchards is used by the food stalls and rest is sold in the farmers’ market. The produce from bamboo garden provides for bamboo workshops and sale, thus generating jobs for lower strata of the community. Local artists get a platform to display thier talent, which would otherwise go unnoticed. Rainwater harvesting techniques saves water and uses the same for irrigation of orchards. The outdoor library and game tables build a community place fostering interaction among people.

is a butterfly conservatory in the horticultural gardens of
Texas A&M. It
was eesentially a
glasshouse as the butterflies needed sunlight to thrive. The important question was the interaction of the solid with the transparent. The basic idea for the form was to explore the possibility of the improbable, by questioning the identity of the heavy.
Attempt has been made to levitate the heavy mass
and fix the light mass to the ground; both functioning contradictory to the general rules. The heavy mass is supported by glass which cuts it through despite being the lighter material.

performing arts center the need of downtown SITE AREA : 32245 SQ. FT. LOCATION : COLLEGE STATION, TX The aim of this project was to develop a much needed downtown in College Station. The students worked on a combined site plan for the downtown and then individual projects were divided based on the needs of the community. The project goals were to develop an urban community such that all amenities are within
8 minutes walking distance.This would encourage the people to walk rather
than drive cars to achieve a sustainable goal.
My
project focused on the design of a performing arts center for children consisting of a box
theatre and performaing arts school.
The
program typology for the downtown was set to

is a visitors’ center for pointe du hoc, the site of
thousands each year to the site of first attack of the
D-DAY World War II. Visitors come in Allies. The site has been preserved over the
years with all its craters and war structures. The challenge was to preserve the site with minimal intrusion. The basic concept was to tell the story of war along with intermediary views of the site
such that the visitors can relate to it. Layers of information unfold as the visitor gets partial views of the site from different angles, and finally he is led to the site through the building to experience the site completely.

is one of the culturally significant cities in rajasthan, the desert state. It is famous for its
annual camel fair which marks the trade and cultural heritage of the state. Camel, also known as
Ship of the Desert, is a symbol of trade and transportation.This transportation hub was inspired from the body structure of a camel since it is so well adapted to the climate of a desert. The main roof structure was inspired from the camel’s back and the steel structure relates with the skeleton of the camel. The two-layered skin on the steel structure mimics the eye of the camel that has two eyelids for protection from the sandstorms in the desert. the

: 18.75 ACRES : 12.64 ACRES : 6.34 ACRES : SERENBE COMMUNITY, ATLANTA GEORGIA
Serenbe is a 40,000 acre quiet and peaceful settlement located in the heart of Chattahoochee Hill Country, part of rural Georgia. It is considerably far from the Atlanta downtown. However, principles of self-sufficiency incorporated by the planners from the beginning have made the settlement very sustainable and economical. It has developed to be the home of people from diverse cultures and background; thus forming a community rich in heritage and diversity of cultures. The settlement has been developed in omega shaped hamlets to take the advantage of privacy and community for the residents and yet one openness to the nature. The peak of the hamlets forms the commercial hub such that all the residents can access these amenities on foot; making the community completely walkable. These also form the social gathering spaces thus supporting the overall development of the community. Out of the 40,000 acres, only 900 acres is built (220 homes); leaving 80% of the lands as open space. The goal is minimal exploitation of the natural reserves.

February 1, 2011. Plenitude - A living city for Northern Africa. The ‘Plenitude’ community is named for its role in creating a state of plenty-- transforming environmental degradation and social and economic injustice to nature-driven processes and procedures resulting in an abundance derived from nature’s economy. Our site represents a global phenomenon in which 60% of all mining activity occurs at the surface, whether it is coal, aggregate, stone, lead, silver, or gold. Initial steps bio-remediate a portion of the expansive pits remaining from phosphate mining in the semi-arid zone of Morocco, near some of Northern Africa’s most ancient towns thus preparing the land for human and plant habitation and concurrently creating ‘museum towns’ while building within the mined area. due on
