Project Brief

To redesign an aging high-rise structure constructed in the 70s, situated at the prominent intersection of Wellington Street and Queen’s Road Central in Hong Kong’s bustling Central District. Despite its location, the current building fails to fully utilize the permissible Gross Floor Area (GFA) allotted for the plot. Recognizing this potential, there is a compelling opportunity to explore the feasibility of enhancing the site’s commercial viability & transforming it into a landmark at this pivotal urban juncture. The proposal involves expanding the existing structure to 21 stories, accommodating a mix of office spaces & apartments, thereby maximizing its potential & ensuring a superior return on investment.

CLASH DETECTION | NAVISWORKS

By utilizing Navisworks, I streamline the coordination process, by clash detection a process that involves identifying and resolving conflicts or clashes between different building elements and disciplines in a 3D model. Detecting clashes early in the design phase,facilitates collaboration among project stakeholders. Created serach sets of Architectural, structural, mep to run different test combinations between all coordinated models.

QUANTIFICATION

Clash detection done between Architectural, Structural, MEP model after resolving the clashes.

Quantification in Navisworks involves extracting quantities from a 3D model to facilitate cost estimation, material takeoff, and project planning. Creating catalog for all architectural and structural items to quantity takeoff - 5D Cost Planning. Quantification of Architectural & Structural model after mapping the search sets to its items

4D simulation using Navisworks involves integrating time-based information into the 3D model to visualize construction sequences and project schedules. This process helps project stakeholders better understand the construction timeline, identify potential clashes or delays, and optimize project planning and execution.

kolkata MUSEUM OF MODERN ART

ARCHITECTURAL THESIS

Project type: Museum

Site area : 10 acres.

FSI achieved 2.0

Built up area 80,936 sq.m.

Always there is never ending thirst for art.National Museum of Modern Art- Its objective is to bring, under a single roof, two broad areas of work: collection, preservation and exhibition of fine art objects, both from India and abroad; and the promotion of art education and research. This project envisages something more than an art museum It has been planned to provide spaces to host international events and to provide a platform for artists, scholars, students and visitors alike to have an enhanced experience of the critical role art and museums play in the community.

Kolkata Museum of Modern Art (KMOMA) is a proposed art museum to be built in New Town, Kolkata.The KMOMA had been estimated to cost about Rs 500 crore and is set to be built on a 10-acre plot in the nearby township of New Town by the state government, The Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee had had initiated this project.

Kolkata has long been recognized as one of India’s key cultural centres. From its time as the capital of the British Empire in India to its current modern era, the city has been home to a diverse group of key personalities, iconic ideas and revolutionary trends instrumental in shaping the social, artistic and literary landscape of contemporary India.

• This project covers designing an art museum to conserve all types of modern art from late centuries to contemporary times, It also covers designing of spaces, will not only educate about modern art but also connect people to art by means of workshops and other activities. Many public spaces such as international convention centre in the north and public parks are present in the south.There are more new appartments coming up where the future skyline will be dotted with tall buildings in the next stage of modernisation of kolkata.

m o m a

S-The city has a high inflow of both domestic and international tourists.Hence, the proposed devolopment could ensure high returns and enchance tourism in the entire kolkata.Kolkata holds rich culture and art,this site would be a good platform to promote art.

-The building would have a good view from the metro.

- Rajarhat is a new commercial, industrial and residential district on the north-eastern fringes of Kolkata.

-So, the project becomes a fruition depending upon the devolopment of rajarhat. Still many amenities such as metro are still under construction.

OW-The other public buildings around would make a positive force for the site.

-Lots of the open spaces around.

-Can be a vibrant & useful public hub & civic space.

-NMOMA might stand as a challenge to the near by art museums vise versa.

-The future devolopment of appartments and public buildings may dominate the museum.

“change is the only constant”

STUDY ON FLEXIBLE DWELLINGS

ARCHITECTURAL DISSERTATION

Objects today are “alive” and are able to change from one dimension to another. Torch in radio, sofa cum bed, computer in mobile phone are all examples of changing functionalities. This proves the fact that we as people are constantly evolving and adopting new lifestyles. A dwelling needs to accommodate life cycle changes; increase in family size, ageing, change in occupation etc. In a world of changing functionalities and changing volumes, this dissertation probes into the utilization of these fluctuating dimensions in the architecture of dwellings to solve problems of space efficiency, material usage and time consumption.

The capability of adaptation in different conditions one space to be used in a variety of ways,in different time spans.

changes – in place and in time, in size/shape and in purpose, free of borders.

Flexibility is not a style,but an inherent quality of the design. the idea of accommodating change over time.

A short-term flexibility is capable of changes on a day-to-day basis, without alterations inthe building fabric.

In a long-term perspective,flexibility can be about adaptability,which can modify the fabric of a home and accomodate spatial changes.

“The way the design affects the way it is used over time”.

Soft use could for example be rooms with no predetermine particular function which allows for a user to adapt the room according to their needs. In the case of hard use the architect determine how the flexible function should be used over time, for example a room that could be changed by sliding walls or moveable furniture.

This dissertation was done on five stages taking case studies around the world and live studies on cointainer houses, prefabricated houses,and pre cast houses around south india. The studies where done based on in terms of material construction,function environment ,economy and in indian context The case studies were chosen based on the typologies of flexible architecture. each typology had it its own strength, weakness and oppurtunities in both domestic and commercial sector. Flexible architecture addresses these concerns using a number of innovative design strategies, open planning concepts and modern technologies.Even varying degrees of flexibility provided have an impact on our lifestyle and make dwelling that much more comfortable

Creates diverse population

Expansion instead of relocation

Increacing life span

India is a second world country rising up to its over whelming problems of over-population, climate and growing economy have developed not only the flexibility of dwelling structures but also their own innate flexibility

This tendency is understandably seen more amongst the poor and homeless in an urban setting.

Strong concepts of culture, religion and tradition coupled with political corruption, security and shortage of resources make designing for this context volatile and complex.

The tradition of flexibility in architecture has not developed steadily with the growth of urban and rural agglomerations. It has yet to make its presence, need and utility felt and experienced in the region .

Flexibility is subjective and heavily relies on immediate factors like climate, topography, economy , culture and people. For example, what works on a type of flexibility in Japan may be considered an inconvenience to living in India.

Also, flexibility needs to be designed from the level where innate flexibility of a populationceases.

In countries like India, currently people are much more flexible than their built environment and they easily adapt to their surroundings. Their concerns need to be addressed in an entirely different light when compared to other places.

flexible architecture oppurtunity in india

Disaster rehablitation

The process of rehablitation involves partial or complete relocation and rebuilding Flexible dwellings therefore paves the way for long term rehabilitation within a shorter period of time. precast houses can be manufactred on a large scale and installed rapidly.It saves more time and helps people to revert back to their lives.

Detention camps/migrant camps

Camps are erected when a military force travels away from a major installation or fort during training or operations, and often have the form of large campsites.Flexible pods or mobile dwelling units can be used.Flexible dwellings has wider scope in this sector.

Religious purpose

There are several religious groups and communities, having their own holy places of worship. Thus, there are a vast number of pilgrims every year who travel to their place of worship at different times of the year . Mobile temporary housing for this displaced population is needed. The travel expenses would reduce.

Commercial

Flexible architecture has more scope in commercial sector than the residential as it saves more of project time ,construction cost and does not need more high comfort level as a house.And most structures comes under temorary structures.

positives

Building types which are less time consuming and cost effective are mostly prefferd.

People welcome many new interactive technologies into their buildings.

Saves more materials ,and can be reused.

Easily adapts to the people’s need as change is always consant in our life.

Flexibility promotes more space efficiency.

People want to built something new and updated from the conventional.

Supply and Demand

There is a widening gap between the growing population and the availability of dwelling units Mass production of homes enabled by factory produced pre-fabricated units could be an efficient solution . Also, shortage of land in urban centres calls for maximizing space efficiency made possible by customized units or pods.

short term basis

Most of the youngsters who work or study away from their native hometown live for a shorter time say like within ten years, container houses or prefabricated houses can be effectively used by them as its cost effective and can be reused.

negatives

Still people are stuck on to the idea that a concrete house is always strong and efficient though there are more new better building typologies.

Few find the idea of flexible dwellings not very satisfying.

Certain constrains present and more maintenance to be done in some cases.

Some users feel it annoying as people feel lazy to prepare a space to use.

As house reflects a persons economic status they want it to be conventional as others.

As house is a lifetime investment people are not ready to try anything new.

ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE

NINTH SEMESTER DESIGN

Our 9th semester project was to design an entertainment centre in madurai comprising of cinema screens, shops and three star rated accomodations with multi purpose halls in a site of 80,000 sq.m, abutting madurai highway.

The concept envisaged the development of the structure by segregation of zones based on the function and with the combination of layers and forms.

The master plan is designed in such a way that when a user enters the site he should exoerience the whole building

The project demanded to design a residence with four bedrooms in a north facing plot with a site area of 2000sq.m at madurai city.The residence is designed for an IT couple with 2 kids and an elderly couple.

The residence design is done starting with existing trees on the site.Many coutyard and tranquil spaces are created, having a play of light and shade acheiving flow of spaces,roof forms as elements.

Large bespoke sliding doors and high ceilings allow natural light and a sense of openess to emmanate throughout the space. Generous natural and a warm textured pallette combine to create a tranquil retreat. To control the light and heat on the southern exposures, horizontal elements and high level ceiling windows openings are provided.

SITE AREA : 2000 sq.m

BUILT UP AREA :750 sq.m

The backyard has a leisure pool and garden which acts as a tranquillizing space.. The backyard is also used for small get together parties as it has a vast space and the kitchen is easily accessible which makes serving easier.

A seamless flow through the interior outwards to the courtyards and the gardens creates a connection between the textural, raw concrete and the timber to the outdoors and sky.
