ARCHITECTURE SIDDHARTH MADHU
Excellence is not about doing something well. It’s about doing things in a way that has never been approached before. Setting new standards, charting new pathways and creating an exciting experience in every work I do, defines me as an architect and a designer. I want to have a worldwide exposure and learn the ways of people throughout.

Undergraduate Thesis Project: Indus Valley Civilization Museum & Interpretation Centre Proposed by the Directorate of Archaeology & Museums at Rakhigarhi, Haryana.. The Institutional Project is developed to have a museum, conservation labs and accommodation for researchers and scholars at the live excavation site.
Need for the Project: Being one of the most important links to the historic Indus Valley Civilization. Artefacts at Rakhigarhi hold the utmost importance to be preserved and studied for further information about our legacy. The projects aims to educate people about the globally significant rich history buried under land and lost with time.
Rakhigarhi, Haryana According to the Global Heritage Fund, Rakhigarhi is the largest and the oldest Indus sites in the world. The village encompasses a set of 11 mounds with a confirmed size of 350 Hectares.
7 Mounds are identified by the Archaeological Survey of India in the geographical extents of the village. The ASI protects mounds number 1,2,3 and 5; whereas mounds number 4,6 and 7 are under private ownership
Site Context
Walk‑able Routes can be proposed from the site to reach the Active Excavation Site. Many water‑bodies and ponds (pokhris) surround the village which holds potential to be later developed as tourist attractions.

Architecture Research Impact of Daylight on User Perception in Residences It is a proven fact that light and colour has the ability to alter how we perceive a space. Most studies end on a conclusion which restates colour psychology and spatial configuration with architecture. The area which is lacking study is the role of light in creating an experience and modifying how the user sees the space. Light is seen as a medium to perceive a space but its quality can render spaces and transform it completely.

Aim
This research aims to find out how the quality of light changes the perception of a space for the user in a residential building.
Hypothesis
This research hypothesizes that the Quality of Light changes how the user perceives a space.
Research Questions
1. What are the constituents of light? 2. How does light affect the human body and psychology? 3. What emotions are imparted/ experiences by people when subjected to certain colours 4. How do colours on different building elements change the perception of space for the user? Light causes the spaces to flow into each other and become connected through a gradient of reflection and deflection (Holl, Color Light Time, 2012, pp. 42‑48). The spaces when flowed into each other, exhibit the qualities linked that can be identified through three expressions: motion; weight; substance. The interface, through which light enters, changes its intensity, and created different shadows. Light and shadows play a vital role in altering the surface color to different shades.
The Space
According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, India (MoHUA), in a residential project of an area of more than 50m2, the minimum area of the largest room in a house is 14.85m2 (MoHUA). The height of the room is taken as 3000mm and the standard size of the openings is taken as 1500mm x 1200mm at 900mm from the sill. The spaces will be created by the permutations of the four openings, i.e. 15 permutations.
Visualization
The vantage point is taken from a point where the three opposing walls, the floors, and the ceiling are visible. The vantage point is taken at 1600mm and an FOV of 120°. Diurnal movement of the sun: Changes intensity, the direction of light. Atmospheric conditions: Responsible for scattering and intensity of light Opening/ Interface: Responsible to let light enter the space.
Experiment
The psychological emotions and perceptions of light and colors are grouped by the similar meaning and qualities they have. The visualizations are circulated among architects and designers. In a survey form, they are asked to select the closest emotion that they feel is associated with the space and light settings. The participants are also asked to select the functions best suitable for the given space Q1. What emotions/ feelings are closely associated with the space?
Enticing, Sultry, Warmth, Security, Happiness, Optimism, Positivity, Confidence, Enthusiasm, Excitement, Radiance, Effortlessness, Serenity, Relaxing, Innovativeness, Creativity, Inspiring, Richness, Fragility, Unknown, Uncertainty, Lost
Q2. This space will best function as:
Living Room, Bedroom Room, Kitchen, Bathroom, Lounge, Study / Library
In residences, spaces that accommodate a larger amount of people and have a higher level of movement and activity (living rooms, lounges) require more openings in an arrangement that expands the space and allows diffused light to enter. Spaces that vary in their function (lounges, bedrooms) should be designed to receive the high intensity of both the blue‑rich and the yellow‑rich light. The spaces must have openings to make consecutive surfaces to feel lighter visually expand the space outwards. Spaces that require concentration and solace (study rooms and libraries) should allow warm‑toned diffused light to come through the interfaces.
