ocated on a site of 2.9 acres, very close to the IT. Hub of Hyderabad, the project is envisioned to provide Grade A office spaces that are envisioned to be sustainable, healthy and productive workspaces.

Key Performance Indicators

Primary core 1 : Floor 1 to 15

Primary core 2 : Floor 15 to 21

Primary core 3 : Floor 21 to 34

Cores for retail : Ground, First ,Second floor and up-to six basements.

‘Grains’ of different building facades, achieved by customizing the window to wall ratio, and sunshade design for each side.

Krtya Goldfish Office building is designed to create a landmark office project. the key performance indicators ( KPIs ) identified are: Return on Investment: Linked to numerous factors like lowering construction costs and operational costs like energy & water bills, maximizing rental space and larger floor plates with a possibility of subdivision. Seamless Circulation: Tight site with a large built up area, meant risk of congestion of external and internal circulation routes during peak office hours which required an integrated design solution and future proofing. Iconic: Being clients first foray into highend office space, the building needed to make a statement and be instantly recognizable from competing `Business as Usual’ buildings.

An all-encompassing grasshopper script was made that controlled various parameters like floor height, grids, facade opening, facade louver system etc. This script enabled generation of multiple iterations, all of which followed the same core principles, and helped to arrive at the most optimized built mass configuration, as well as envelope. In this extremely fast paced project, where the time span was only three weeks, the grasshopper script also allowed quickly reflecting design improvements throughout the building model, thus saving time and ensuring a refined design outcome. 5

he Hijaz Yacht Club stands to be an iconic building within Triple Bay, Amaala, a landmark hospitality destination on the shores of the Red Sea. The new marina basin will be carved from the natural coastline to enable yachts to dock in relatively calm waters within the precinct. The challenge was to design a brand new, state of the art facility with exceptional architectural design immersing members and guests in a yachting lifestyle experience. The club offers a comprehensive range of services to support the needs of world travelers, yacht owners, as well as local visitors and guests.

Given the complex nature of the geometries involved in this project, the only way to effectively handle the design of the envelope is to run a parallel Rhino Model. Rhino and Grasshopper are the industry standards to design and describe complex geometries in architecture. The Rhino model is used to work with the facade elements which are difficult for Revit to work with. A set of workflows and scripts in grasshopper, python and dynamo were developed for automating the transfer of multiple building elements, that still retain their BIM data. Use of Rhino.inside was also explored as a potential workflow. 7

Study showing Spatial Daylight Autonomy for various Window-Wall-Ration for a typical room.

Further scheme analysis and development gave way to one clear design which maximized the built potential of the site while allowing for optimum orientation, stacking, and spatial progression. This option was further advanced to incorporate key design principles. These principles are: • Internal and external circulation should separate patient, visitor, staff, and service flows to the fullest extent possible. • Incorporate flexibility within the design which allows for the ability to adopt future technologies and shifting priorities with minimal disruptions to patient care and facility operation. A grand entrance, retail experience, views to the exterior, and rooftop/ terrace gardens ensure all who enter the facility can remain engaged. Bottom : Spatial Daylight Autonomy (SDA) measures if a space receives enough daylight (more than 300 lux) throughout the year. In the simulations above, blue is under lit space, and orange is well lit. A Window to Wall Ratio (WWR) of the occupied zone of 60% is recommended, because over 90% of the room is rendered well it. Top: We can then use exterior shading elements to reduce heat gain and glare, though will reduce the amount of light in the space a little. 9

DRY BULB TEMPERATURE

Turin features a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa) in contrast to the Mediterranean climate characteristic of the coast of Italy.

The dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is the temperature of air measured by a thermostat freely exposed to the air but shielded from radiation and moisture.

Winters are moderately cold but dry, summers are mild in the hills and quite hot in the plains. Rain falls mostly during spring and autumn; during the hottest months, otherwise, rains are less frequent but heavier (thunderstorms are frequent). During the winter and autumn months banks of fog, which are sometimes very thick, form in the plains[24] but rarely on the city because of its location at the end of the Susa Valley.

A SET OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS FOR EARLY STAGE DESIGN A set of standard environmental analysis were identified, that ranged from a city level climate zone analysis, and zooming in all the way to analysing and simulating glare that a patient might observe in his bed. Sytematically studying all these led to a comprehensive knowledge about the city and site, and guided decision about placement and topology of the buildings on the site. Following analyses were undertaken: 01 Climatic Zone Study 02 Site analysis - Sun and Wind 03 Building Orientation Study 04 Indoor daylight Quality : This analyses ranges from environmental studies consisting of Daylight, Glare, Radiation studies, and view from indoor spaces; which led to key design decisions in the room depth building width and design of shading systems. 05 Courtyard sizes and daylight: As per a guideline by the client, every space that is occupied by a person for more than 4 hours must get access to natural daylight. A study to find effect of different courtyard sizes on indoor daylight was undertaken, and areas with insufficient daylight were identified. 06 Perceptible Glare reduction 11

pread over an area of 23 hectares, the facilities include WTC, club, office spaces, furnished offices, residential apartment, restaurants, expo center, auditorium and conference rooms. The entry is a mist laden path, both aesthetic in illusion and then cooling. This mist is triggered by ultrasonic sensors embedded in the surface, thereby greatly reducing the volumes of water needed. Climatic conditioning became the tectonic brief crafting fins - atrium’s breezeways and the armature that reposition the ideas of openness and the outdoors within the contemporary idiom of the centre. The towers have a first of its kind bio atrium that reduces the ambient temperature by 5 degree C through passive cooling. Its skin defines the variegated structure of occupancy. The skin is varied for maximum visibility at the ground and first levels and then at the top two tiers, while the mid section defies the current trend in glazed curtain wall cladding and attempts an opaque skin more suited for the climate. Its gradient-aperture structural skin further increases building material efficiency while reducing heat gain.

Ventilation Factors for Infection Risk THE SCIENCE BEHIND SOCIAL DISTANCING : VENTILATION STORY

Social distancing rules are derived by studying the movement of particles expelled from nose or mouth while sneezing, talking or breathing. Some of the bigger particles can be visible to our eye, but there are particles that are smaller are as light as air and not visible. These lighter particles can travel through a building’s ventilation system and increase the range of virus spread.

lace-based Risk Mapping can quickly and effectively help leverage an organization’s strongest assets and meet fluctuating spatial demands while planning for long-term business and health resilience. It is done within a nested system for reboot readiness that takes into account policies and protocols, regulations, built environment and individual behavior, within a technology and communication eco-system, aimed at a safer physical and enhanced psychological/ emotional experience.

Person - Environment

The approach is anchored on the interface between humans and their environments to mitigate infection risk and inform value-based decisions. At the core of this approach is the place risk profile: the potential for the transmission of the virus in a place through personperson, person-object, and person-environment networks.

These plugins aim to address three key ideas: 1. Capacity Prediction: To find a ballpark number for capacity, density and risk profile of any given space with respect to different social distances observed. 2. Socially Distant Layouts type 1: Used for a fixed seating layout, to automatically identify various iterations of seating layout, where social distancing can be observed. 2. Socially Distant Layouts type 2: Used for empty or flexible layout spaces such as cafeteria, basketball court etc., this plugin can be used to generate multiple iterations of layouts, and optimize them using genetic algorithms.

2. ) Spatial Analytics Scenario based path analysis

n order to identify the risk profiles of

different spaces, we looked at each space as a discrete configuration, that enables a certain behaviour from it’s occupants. This behaviour is studied using various spatial analysis like Isovists, Betweeneness, Path finding. etc. Each analysis was targeted at understand how can user behaviour be tuned to address COVID19 transmission. For e.g. • (Figure 2)Visual connectively has a huge role to play in how spaces are utilized.

Output Data Machine Learning Algorithm : Object Coordinates

his exercise attempts using genetic algorithm and Machine learning to arrive at an optimized spatial configuration in a given space. A computational design model is setup, taking in account three factors - Visual connectivity, Sunlight hours and Pedestrian paths. Position of predefined object can be optimized based on these factors. Coordinates of the objects based on Visual connectivity and sunlight hours are calculated using multi-objective, genetic algorithms. An artificial neural network is trained for up to 1000 times to accurately predict the coordinates, for a desired level of user interaction in the space. These three informations combined can give a cohesive and holistic spatial performance overview to the designers. Grasshopper tools such as Ladybug analysis, Bio morpher and OWL machine learning are used to achieve this.

ecent development in technology is shaping a new urban landscape blurred by digital and physical stimuli. This process is called “digitization”. The construction sector has been slow to adopt this digitization due to various reasons. In this project, strategies are defined for the applications of Digital Design Strategies as essentials mean for the change.

magic carpet data informed structures Master in Advanced Architecture | 2018 IaaC, Barcelona

he Magic Carpet, is composed out of wooden cross sections that create folded surfaces, which can be used as sitting, lounging or working spaces. The idea behind the structural design is based on ‘geometric locking of 3D surfaces’. The design also focuses on the ergonomics making sure that an angle between 90 and 160 degrees is maintained to increase the user’s comfort, whilst keeping in mind that the steeper the slope, the less it unfolds making the structure stronger. What makes it really interesting, is the fact that geometrically it spans along the axis where members are held together only by 4mm steel cables; even though each individual member is able to rotate along the cables, the overall geometry is such that cables and beams act together as beams and span a distance of 3 meters and can support up-to 22 adults.

illing is a Public Art Installation that explores notions on Time as a measure of change, offering meditative, hypnotic spaces within the public domain to pause, reflect and wonder. It offers contemplative and meditative spaces where one can take some time to pause and reflect amidst the hustle of the city. In its physical form it maps journeys through the changing inner world, both as natural evolution and self inflicted mutations. Set amidst the landscape of the 15 acre campus of the World Trade Centre in Greater NOIDA, the installation attempts to create Thresholds - offering the opportunity for private introspection within a larger context of public engagements.

• Heights and distances to allow maximum interaction with the plates. • Arrangement to allow viewing through multiple plates..

• Some plates might give a slight shock.

• Some plates might light up when approached.

‘Willing’ engages with every visitor uniquely through multi-sensory experiences. The canopy is translucent in parts, revealing the inside from outside, appetizing. The internal walls appear to breath. The ground people walk on is undulated. It forces people to sometimes experience the individual parts close up, and sometimes gives perspective where plates need to be seen from afar. This envelop creates an interaction between the individual plates and the people that are viewing them. The plates themselves are designed to be highly interactive. Extending from their individual stories and personalities, the plates acquire unique materials and textures that layer the sculpture with meaning. Some plates light up on touch, other may give you a slight electric shock! Spatial lighting is dynamic, controlled by the viewer. Shadows are an integral part of the installations.
