he task was to design a building which could accommodate three different typologies -- theatre, shopping mall and hotel. The site is located in the city of Kolhapur, India. The site abuts the road on two sides. Since the site abuts the main road on the south side, and keeping in mind fire safety, the entry to all three activities are planned on the south facade. The cut and fill technique is used taking advantage of the slope to create two levels of parking. The hotel has its reception and lobby on the ground floor with the rooms continuing from the third floor. The circulation and services are planned in such a way that the three typologies function independently. The building is recessed at the entry point to the hotel to create a porch. This will give some time for the guests to unload baggage without obstructing the traffic moving towards the shopping mall or the theatre. A service entry and direct access to parking is provided through the road on the west side. The building is rotated to facilitate majority of the rooms in the hotel to have the view of the Ranka Lake on the south.

he task was to design a Product Design school with an incubation center attached to it. In addition the campus was to have accommodation for students, food court and recreation spaces. The site considered for the campus is situated in the university town of Manipal, India and has an area of 4 acres. The site slopes towards the North and has a panoramic view of the valley. The buildings are zoned taking advantage of the visual access and circulation at site level. The blocks are designed keeping in mind maximum natural light and ventilation as major factors.

The academic block which will house lecture halls, FAB labs and an incubation center is zoned at highest level to get a visual access from the main road. The academic block is designed as three different buildings which are inter-connected by corridors and staircases. This facilitates maximum natural light and ventilation into the spaces. To bring about interaction between professionals using the incubation center and the students, the common spaces like the FAB labs, library are kept at good proximity to both the school and the incubation center. The technique of cut and fill is used to avoid changing the terrain.

he task was to design housing units for three income groups namely -- Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Low Income Group (LIG) and Middle Income Group (MIG) in a 9.5 acre site located in a village called Kediyoor in Udupi district. The zoning should enable all three income groups to share amenities and live a peaceful life. The site experiences a warm and humid climate. In order to bring about equality, the facades for all housing units remain similar. Parking is planned on either sides of the 8m wide central spine which connects the housing units for the low and middle income groups. Vehicular access is restricted only to the south side to enhance safety.

Each unit will have a living space, two bedrooms (one with an attached bathroom), kitchen, utility, toilet and a bath. There are four units on each floor which open onto a common courtyard space. The design is aimed at bringing about social interaction.
LOW INCOME GROUP - TYPE 1
This cluster has a concept of a street house where the units have a small verandah in front. The spaces are more spread out when compared to the type 1 cluster. Each unit has a living room, two bedrooms (one with attached bathroom), kitchen, utility, bath and toilet. The single loaded corridor brings about ample cross-ventilation into the spaces.
LOW INCOME GROUP - TYPE 2

The units are designed based on the concept of incremental housing. The terrace spaces can bring about future expansion. Each unit will have a living space, bedroom, toilet, bath, kitchen and a utility space. To avoid dead spaces, entries to the units are distributed equally on both the sides of the block. The units at the upper level is cantilevered to provide a roof for the entrance of the unit below. The units are closely knit to bring about interaction.
The units are spacious and the design is aimed at maximum natural light and ventilation. Each unit has a living room, two bedrooms (one with attached bathroom), kitchen, utility, bath and toilet.

B.ARCH THESIS | SEMESTER 8 | YEAR: 2017 | FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE - MANIPAL ACADEMY OF HIGHER EDUCATION
The development in the field of building construction has entered a new era with a number of different materials being explored today but most of the built environment today are not designed taking into consideration the negative effects it can have on the ecosystem for the migratory birds.
1.
Birds don’t perceive glass as an obstacle which leads to collision and death since glass is now extensively used for construction. 2. Birds are not attracted to wetlands and water bodies for breeding and to feed on the fresh water fish. Dump-yards and construction activities in these areas can create imbalance. 3. Brightly lit buildings on migratory routes can disorient their flight. 4. Depletion of ecosystem for birds can lead to migratory birds entering urban areas. They consider electric poles as safe spots but get electrocuted in the process. Vehicles run over them when birds descend to road level in search of food. A number of interest groups consisting of bird watchers, wildlife enthusiast and photographers have come together to raise awareness. They join hands with the forest department to document the birds visiting areas which fall in the migratory route. This project aims at creating a space for the like minded people to come together, stay, interact and share knowledge. The design will focus mainly on the circulation
inside site to make sure interaction happens and the technique and materials used will not affect the forest ecosystem. The retreat will have cottages for a maximum of two guests per cottage, dormitory with 10 beds, lobby, library, meeting room, a store where the guests can rent camera accessories and a restaurant. The following points are considered in the design.
1. 2. 3. 4.
Restaurant, lobby and other recreational spaces are clubbed together to reduce the noise pollution. Guests will not have room service facility. This will allow guests to come together during meals. Guests will have to leave their vehicles at the entrance and walk to their respective rooms. The design will exploit the view of the jungle as much as possible.
The site falls in the migratory route in the state of Kerala. An area of 5 acres is chosen for this project. The site is surrounded by the Begur Reserve Forest to its North and West. The site overlooks paddy fields to its South and East.
17
Paddy field is a very transient wetland habitat. The micro habitat created by the plant cover and the water profile change between every cropping season. This change in the micro-habitat affect the change in species assemblages which depend on the wetland ecosystem. WATCH TOWER
The Northern part of the site has dense coffee plantation under the tree cover. The coffee plants attract a lot of insects and pests. The trees giving shade to the coffee plants, attract insectivore birds. Migratory birds halt at shade coffee plantation for food.
TREES ON SITE: Arecanut, Rose Wood, Silver Oak and Orange

The school wanted to redesign the spaces in the Montessori section. Our main idea was to open up the space to the outside which will make way for more natural light and ventilation. This increase in volume and the play of light and colors will eliminate the claustrophobic nature which prevails in most city schools. A series of planter boxes and rain chains line the compound wall. The punctures in the glass roof bring in the rain water into the spaces through the rain-chains. The design is aimed at bringing in more life into the existing spaces.

The client wanted the interiors redesigned for his beach facing apartment. Since the house is set along the beach oxidation of metal was a major constraint. Use of salvaged pine wood, re-use of wood from the existing built-in furniture and traditional wood joinery remains the main focus. The design explores off-beat shades of varnish finishes to bring in the colors.

he competition aimed at understanding individuals idea of the house design, in the context of the location they select. I have tried to address the space constraint in a metropolitan city and explored ways to create livable spaces using sustainability as a lens. A software engineer (family of three) who spends eight hours a day in front of the computer in a claustrophobic environment is considered the client. The design aims at creating an environment which will influence both physical as well as the mental well-being of its occupants. 5. An open floor plan on the ground floor will see multiple activities happening in the morning. This will help bring more interaction between the occupants. A straight flight staircase is planned for maximum utilization of space. 4. Openings are planned only in the front and the rear side. A courtyard is created to bring about passive cooling through stack effect.
VIEW FROM THE FRONT
3. The portion of the site cut to create the basement is used up to create two more levels at the rear side which will accommodate the living, dining and the kitchen. 2. The site is 4’ below the road level. A basement is created and the roof of the basement acts as a ramp for the parking.

The proposal is a redesign of the existing public toilet built by the corporation under the Swatch Bharat Mission at the Marina beach in the vibrant city of Chennai. The design is devel- • oped keeping in mind the following aspects: • Adequate natural light and ventilation without compromising on the privacy. • Demarcation of wet and dry areas. • • Ease of access for the physically challenged. • The building is oriented such that there is activity happening on all sides. This is help bring

about adequate surveillance. The proposal is aimed at sourcing materials which are loaclly available. The design is aimed to create a demand for bamboo as building material. Bamboo is proposed for the reinforcement instead of steel. The masonry work can be with fly-ash bricks. The selected site is prone to cyclones. Hence adequate openings are provided for the wind to pass through the building and thereby reduce the load on the structure.

he client wished to replace the existing TV unit with a built-in modular one. The client had a huge collection of music CDs and books which she wanted to be displayed. The new TV unit to accommodate CDs, books, printer, WIFI modem, telephone and a DVD player. The TV unit is designed keeping in mind the existing shoe-rack. A linear rectangular box spanning the entire length of the wall. The box is divided into three equal parts. The DVD player and the set-top box can be placed in the centre part. Both the sides can accommodate books. The top of the box can have the printer, telephone and the WIFI modem. The base of this cuboid is extruded to accommodate the laptop and also can be used as a writing table. The unit is placed at the same height as the shoe rack to make it appear like a single piece of furniture. A secondary cuboid below the main unit hides the wires and the power socket. An additional space for books and CDs is planned on top. The minimalist design makes the living room look spacious as well as helps bring about multiple functions.
