ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Sneha Patil and I am a 5th year student at Wadiyar centre for Architecture, Mysore. In the course of my architectural education, I have developed an immense interest towards the process of designing and how an idea is developed into an end product. It has also encouraged me to explore different cultures, lifestyles, people and perspectives through the concept of a space.

CITY MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SUSTAINABILITY
Jaipur, Rajasthan The studio intends to strongly focus on developing and shaping architecture that responsibly positions itself within the context and yet is free from the confinment of past baggage. To look at architecture in a multi-sensorial manner also becomes crucial. The program is a combination of a city museum, public library and a plaza to cater to the public. The studio is about achieving a design solution that includes both sustainability and respect to the context. Studio Guide Prof. Manoj Ladhad Prof. Anand Krishnamurthy Asst.

Library
The site were to serve the following functions: the Urban Plaza, a Library, and a City Museum. The challenge was to integrate all the three within a single entity. Museum
The idea was to engulf the library and museum within the plaza. By doing so, the entire site would be perserved as it is in today and be accessible by all making in inclusive in nature.

A thorough understanding of the surrounding context was done to see how the proposed building would respond to it. Due to close proximity of a number of functions and more, the need to build on site was questioned. Thus, this lead to an approach of non-existential building.

Plaza
The challenge was to make the space inclusive to everyone in the city while at the same time having spaces designated for the proposed programs. In addition to this, Jaipur’s climate had to be considered as well as how to build while taking into account the principles of sustainable building. Based on a comprehensive understanding of the program and context, the conceptual sections shown above, illustrate how the building sunk into the ground using the roof as a datum and taking into account the topography of the site. This led to designing an accessible rooftop with planters and seating that further blended into the urban plaza.

DRAMA INSTITUTE Mysore, Karnataka The semester intended to introduce students to the various aspects of designing an institution. It was an wholistic approach from developing from institution intent and philosophy to delivering programmatic solutions for the same. The students were tasked to design a drama institute; requiring one to design the intent, program and the institute itself. Studio Guide Prof. Prashant G Pole Prof. Vidyashankar Ramakrishnan Asst. Prof. Pallavi Dhomse Softwares used : AutoCad, Photoshop, Ilustrator, Revit, Enscape
‘THEATRE IS A MIRROR, A SHARP REFLECTION OF SOCIETY.’ - Yasmina Reza The design was inspired by this quote and abstracted into a concept for the drama institute. “Society is dynamic and constantly changing” - thus, the idea of change (in all sense of the word, architecturally) became a strong driver to other secondary ideas within the project. The design process develops the idea of how the space could abstract the idea of dynamism - through landscape, movement with the site, and flexibility of function. Institution environment • publicness - importance given to public spaces • openness - free-flowing spaces • maximized visual connectivity • all the common spaces having the potential to cater to drama • interactive environment • integration of all the courses provided Secondary ideas INSTITUTION
Society
The idea was to see whether the institution could be used as a platform for everyone to express themselves. It would serve as an intermediary between society and the creative community. As a consequence of their ongoing involvement with society, students will be able to learn and flourish in the field.
Artists
Student
Faculty
In a drama school, students learn and grow through interactions and collaborative practice. Therefore, the design of the institution’s premises was to optimize interaction between individuals.

The initial massing was done by looking at the programme, the existing contour, and the accessibility of the user groups.
By introduction of a block on the first floor, the scale of the central court could be reduced thereby these courts being 1.Public and 2. Semipublic in nature.
In response to the conditions on site, courts were built at the corners. The hostel block is located at the highest point on the property, while the academic structure is designed around a central court.
Two academic courts were planned in the final massing for the ground floor, and the dormitory building was made a component of the semipublic court separated by a jali wall.

MERCADO DE GOA Margoa, Goa The semester revolves around the notion that architectural interventions should capture the spirit of the place but be contemporary in expression. In doing so, one is enabling continuity in time while creating meaningful history. The intent was to explore the possibility of deriving a built out of responses to the context as the site is flanked by the old market, the communidade and the civil court. The program is derived out of the needs of the neighbourhood. The nature of the building being to facilitate the neighbourhood, how to go beyond functionality and be an exercise at place making in a given context. Studio Guide Prof. Ryan Thomas Prof. Srinivas SG Softwares used : AutoCad, Photoshop, Ilustrator, InDesign, Revit, Enscape, Hand Drafting
The site is located in an old historical precinct of Margoa and is flanked by an old market, the civil court and the communidade. The program is derived from the needs of the neighbourhood. The intent is to explore the possibilty of deriving a built entity with multi-functional use out of responses to the immediate context. The nature of the building is to facilitate the neighbourhood, how to go beyond functionality and be an exercise at placemaking. A thorough understanding of immediate context, the existing building typology and the lifestyle of people in the neighbourhood was done as a part of a related study program before getting into design.

Sectional segregation of program The idea was to segregate them sectionally while maintaining visual connect throughout. Retail is proposed at the ground floor as it caters to a large mass of people.
The walkway concept is continued to link the market to the garden on the other side. This led to the formation of courts on the ground floor which catered to the immediate building function.
The availability of a 3m slope on site, gives an opportunity to explore levels within the building. Taking advantage of the same, the proposed building is intended to blend in with the scale of building around.
Sloping roof form - response to the climate of Goa
The building has an arched collonade running along its perimeter based on the study of an existing public building in Margoa
Hotel rooms and Manager’s Cabin
Offices for lawyers, a fine-dine restaurant, a bank ans few retail stores towards the vehicular road

*Exploded view of the design intervention
A pinwheel layout is created on the ground floor with a walkway carved within where courts open onto the adjacent building or street as a welcoming gesture to the surrounding neighborhood. The first floor is also regarded as the ground floor from the road towards the east. Other than housing a flexible market, this floor also has other amenities. The bridge leading to the restaurant helps divide the scale of the unbuilt space below. The hotel occupies the third floor, as only a selective group of users would access it. Despite its physical separation from the rest of the floors, they are visually connected.

RELATED STUDY PROGRAMME Ganapati Agraharam, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu Ganapati Agraharam is a small village of Papanasam Taluk situated in the district of Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, 25km from the town of Kumbakonam. It affords a panoramic beauty due to its agricultural fields and the river Kaveri flowing by.

HOUSE 01
Documented by: Sneha Patil, Avinash S, Rahul Manyal, Harshitha H C, Vishesh Jain Spread across 36*8m with an extension of a backyard, this house is constructed in three parts: the old, the new and the backyard; this gives ample space for the joint family residing there. The Non-Brahmin family includes 9 residing members with 3 constantly visiting ones. The ownership of the house has been passed on from father to son for generations. A striking event from this house was that the third son of the family married a girl from the same agraharam, which is not a common practise and overrides the sense of brotherhood of the agraharam. There were two different stairways leading to two different parts of the first floor. The ground floor was differentiated as old and new ,where in the old space, constructed 100 years back, included a rezhi (buffer space),a courtyard ,a private room, a living space and a kitchen. It was renovated, with new tiled flooring. Twenty years later the new space came into being, which included 2 private rooms on the ground floor and two on the first floor. This gave rise to an open space used for washing clothes and vessels in the back, with two bathrooms and a closed well adjacent to it. There were half built columns on the roof that may indicate further plans for expansion. The most striking feature of this house is that it has tapering walls with skewed spaces. The columns in the second floor has been left unfinished, indicating plans for expansion in the future. The backyard is not used and is cut off from the foliage at the back by a 3m high wall.
