01 CITY LIBRARY AND MUSEUM JAIPUR, RAJASTHAN

PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE The semester focused at a public building in the realm of the urban envelope of Jaipur involving all its historic and cultural elements. The direction is attuned in dealing with issues of performative architecture alongside base design ideas. The aim was to achieve a design solution that combines simple logic, imagination, and street-smart pragmatism. This project established itself over the city of Jaipur, buried in its rich history. A contemporary interpretation of the essence of various elements of Jaipur gets this project rooted in the place where it belongs. Modern ways of handling vernacular methods help it be true to its place. The city library building accommodates varying programs that require different conditions. Hence the separation of reading spaces from the more public and lively part of the library. This segregation enables the development of a complex arrangement of interconnected spaces with the potential that the site had to offer.

The challenge was to handle transparency and vision across these structures while avoiding heat gain and glare to the inside spaces. A comprehensive analysis led to the detailing of the facades that open up to the city's views and the topography the site had to offer. The site's character was benefited from, while attempting to detail out spaces that align with the slope and retain the existing fashion. It further gave way to handle a series of cavities that make up for most of the unbuilt spaces across the site, while being sensitive to the public comfort against the weather. In further detailing of the courts, the arrangement of masses was used to avoid direct light coming from the facades to control the quality of the light that enters the space. This organization led to a very sustainable approach to keep majority of the library daylit for most hours of the day. As jaipur lies in a temprate zone it deals with severe diurnal changes, making climate another challenge to be dealt with. The heat gain had to be accomodated with different layers and approaches. Hence, efficiency became an important aspect of the early design stages itself in order to avoid superficial treatment.

The spatial arrangement of masses leads to development of pockets of urban spaces that make for the plaza in a larger context. Such zones of interaction will be climatically comfortable as they would be shaded by the arrangement of the masses. The addition of a waterbody connecting the plaza in the larger sense pays tribute to the Chaupars; Public gathering spaces that go back in time, which have now been demolished with the rise in accommodation of urbanism in the old city.

02 CAMPUS DESIGN- SCHOOL OF LAW MYSORE, KARNATAKA

DEVELOPMENT OF A PHILOSOPHY TO ITS CREATION This semester's brief was about Developing from philosophical ideologies to programmatic solutions while understanding the institution's intent and philosophy to deliver its programmatic requirement. The design of this law college would aim to promote cross-learning across the different verticals and batches of students present on the campus. This role of a law student will further be integrated with the public at a programmatic and spatial level. Coherent arrangement of all spaces is intended to build a stronger connection to each other while not compromising on the function's integrity. The administrative spaces and the Academic spaces have their hierarchy of shared spaces while ensuring that the academic spaces and the public spaces in the campus are separated at the programmatic zoning level.

INITIAL CONCEPTUALISATION OF SPACES

The overlap of different grids created the possibility of these extroverted spaces that would help activate and connect with the outdoor spaces and not just the indoor court while still having a circulation ring towards the inside. This dynamic movement through introverted corridors and extroverted spaces will add to the greater intent.

EVOLUTION OF MASSING

The arrangement of all programs coherently is an attempt to avoid segregating academic from non-academic spaces. This organization of programs made it possible for both the activities to share spaces on the same floor without affecting each other. Library is the connecting element for the academic zone that runs across all three floors, with entry and exit across each floor. Public inclusive activities on this campus are not restricted only to the ground floor but are still separated from the academic zones by administrative activities.

This institution is designed to display and follow a certain level of order that it inherits but not restrict the spaces of learning and interaction to that order. The challenge was to break the order created to make spaces more dynamic and develop cross-learning through interaction. This environment would help bond the students of varying courses together, followed by a mix with the teaching staff and general public, who is welcome on the campus. The result is an atmosphere of continuous learning and a connect to society. This link would enable them to be up-to-date with the current affairs with a role to play in it. Therefore, integrating their professional role with their academics.

03 PUBLIC BUILDING SHORAPUR, KARNATAKA

THE ONTOLOGY OF FAITH IN ARCHITECTURE The semester dealt with an in-depth study of the town of Shorapur which revolves around faith and the faithful. Regard to its temple and related activities stands tall in this town, both rhetorically and spatially. Though not in use today, the presence of the palace sets a profound connection of people to their history. A narrative was developed to address the town today, with a modest proposal for a progressive future while being in sync with the rich history celebrated and lived. The design of this public building accommodates various activities, each coming with its own set of complexity. The fort wall creating a datum to adhere or oppose to gives charecter to indivisual design. A response to programmatic zoning while creating a space that accomodates to the busy streets in the vicinity.

FRAMING THE EXPERIENCE As a description of the design to the people of Shorapur, this is an experience set in captures and frames that evoke a certain feeling. This is what defines the spirit of the place, which affects them and their behavior. A series of frames align together, creating a perspective and giving direction. These formed portals that pull you in, define the journey across this place. To these people, in Shorapur, there are aspirations, like anybody else’s who is hungry for the betterment and development of their place. An intervention that is way ahead of its time could help achieve this. It is their history, faith, and culture that will set the foundation stone. The forces of faith have been the devices pulling people with differences together. Is faith just an unconditional trust that an individual submits themselves to? In this place where faith is mainly driven by religion and age-old traditions, it becomes an opportunity for people to come together to lift their spirits. The addition of this place, which is rooted in its history, culture and traditions that evolve and envelope this space to help stimulate these spirits. While exhibiting the rest of the proud heritage they carry. The way ahead is by glorifying their past, where the culture of the place could be demonstrated. With a minimal footprint and a free-flowing uninterrupted movement across the place, the intention here is a clear ground for pedestrian use while these elevated structures come together like the branches of a tree and create a foliage that provides comfort from the harshness of the sun to the ones below it.

04 KRS BACKWATER HOUSING MYSORE, KARNATAKA

HOUSING FOR A USED GROUP WITH SHARED INTEREST The semester focused in two predominent directions. The ﬁrst one is about understanding complexity in the variations of user groups that are expected to be accomodated in this project. Three types of units, each differering in the type of ownership to the project itself. The task was about understanding these layers and drawing parallels for an easy co-existance. The second, was the exploration of form making through a series of progessive models to understand spacemaking. This helped develop an organisation that responds both to the intermixing of different users and site speciﬁc spacial arragement.

Being porous and open facing the lake was both a climatic and visual response. The cool, humid air from the backwaters is channeled through the form, making sure the courts between the blocks remain well ventilated. While Keeping the circulation explorative in its nature, the visual axis across the sight remains strong upon entry, giving perspective to the depth of the place. Organic offsets along the central spine help the users get to their respective units. Multiple drop-off points across the site help make it easier to navigate themselves. There are three kinds of units, 120, 80, and 60 square meters, respectively. These units are occupied by users who share a common interest in yoga. The terrace spaces are where this activity could be practiced in a shared sense alongside their neighbors. At the site level, various courts and gathering spaces are to make for the rest of the activities that are to be held at the community level.

06 RURAL STUDY PROGRAMME UDAIYALUR, TAMIL NADU

UNDERSTANDING THE RURAL Udailur is a town situated in the south of India, aound 12KM from the city of Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu. Nutrient rich alluvial soil deposited along the riverbed makes it a great zone of cultivation. The close knit of the people living here have been a part of this community for generations. The study program included observation and analysis of this settlement in terms of demographics and of the built. Larger lines drawns from the history and climate playing its role in the evolution of this settlement was also made.

HOUSE 01

The house is located at the corner of the street. The house entrance faces the west hence getting harsh sunlight at that portion for most time of the day. The façade of the house is similar to any other place in Udaiyalur. Still, the significant difference is that the Thinnai was fenced by wooden railings. Since it was a corner house subjected to 2 streets and harsh sunlight, the barriers protected the thinnai to some extent. A part of the street in front of the house was cleaned using water mixed with cow dung, preventing dust, flies, and insects from entering inside the house. The entrance to the house was placed to the southern side. There is a linear visual axis from the entrance of the house to the end of the site. As we enter the house, we have to pass through a small passage that opened to a much broader space, briefly divided into two parts: the shaded and non-shaded parts of the courtyard. The courtyard was on the southern side of the house, which was subjected to winter sun. The first courtyard was a depressed path that can be visualized as a cuboid pulled more towards the southern side. The roof is supported by a truss made of organic wooden members in tension or compression. This space is followed by two entrances. One on the northern side leading to the kitchen had a small rectangular opening in the roof and the depression right below that. The other entrance is aligned to the main door, which leads us through a narrow passage and bathrooms aligned beside the bath. The path leads us into a more expansive space with lean-to-roofs pointing towards the well-constructed center. A door is being aligned to the main entrance opens into a semi-open garage where the vehicles are parked on the northern side. This strip is followed by a garden.

HOUSE 02

Unless like the compound walls, these houses had an element... so-called interactions with the streets. The thinnai of the house allows interactions between the people of inside and the people of outside. There is a small portion of THINNAI where the house owner sits and interacts with people. Before entering the living space, there is a small buffer space between the main door and the inner door. This actually shows us the house's linear axis, which leads us from the front part of the street to the living area, the well area, cattle area, backyard, back door, and the next road. They were not any bed spaces; they had room to store grains, And the access to the kitchen is from the living space. The lights and the shadows were balanced by the courtyards and lowering the roofs. This house had a window in the kitchen, allowing one to peep through the first court to see who is coming inside the house. Unlike the angular kingpost queen-post trusses, this truss was different. They have sorted out the balancing of the truss by breaking the length of the truss they were many niches in the walls of the living area (THALAVARAM). The kitchen has a little courtyard where the light enters and lights up the kitchen (samayal koodam). There is a well in the second courtyard where it's told that the cattle would be tied. The third part of the house is the backyard connecting the street between the Agrahara and the slum. Talking about the materiality, they have used burnt clay bricks, lime plaster, pot tile roofing, bamboo roofing, Burma teak, rosewood. The served areas are always on a higher plinth due to the flood precautions. Thinnai , thalavaram, kitchen, granaryThis house had covered the truss from below and made it as a attic space.

HOUSE 03

The second house we were made to document was sandwiched between two other places. An old woman staying in the house was similar to the other homes in the village. It was oriented on the east-west axis allowing the south sunlight to the courtyard. As you enter the house, you have a raised plinth on which the thinnai is. The entrance of the house was through a narrow passage that leads you to the main thalavaram. This particular house had inclined walls that we had discovered during our documentation. on either side of the thalavarm were the storage rooms and the kitchen. The kitchen had a depression in the plinth for the daily wash of utensils. The ﬁrst courtyard is followed by another narrow passage with a toilet towards one side. This then leads you to the secondary courtyard, which then leads you to the backyard. Like the other houses, this house also has a well and a lot of neem and coconut trees.
