URBAN DESIGN STUDIO Lake Front Development

INTRODUCTION The Chikkabanavara Lake and its purlieu is set in the semiurban context in the outskirts of Bangalore City. The site has potential to develop in a rapid scale due to the emergence of many institutions in its vicinity. This proposal focuses on sustainability framework, along with the development of the lake. The sustainability is acheived through the utilization of recycled plastic, provision of bioswales, solar lighting, pevious pavements etc.

South Intervention

DESIGN BRIEF The south intervention is principally focussed to cater to the needs of the tourists and other visitors. It showcases a permanent market space, a food joint, a yoga garden, playarea, gymnasium, and a walking track. The market space is accessible to the public at all times. The space is intended to provide a permanent space for the relocated hawkers and other sellers in the present street market. The food stalls are to promote the activities around the lake in the evenings when people come back home after and want to have a fun time. The playarea is for the younglings to keep them engaged while their parents

North Intervention

All the drawings have been scaled down for representation purposes.

The north intervention is predominantly related to the landscaping and preserving the nature around. It focuses on the ecological aspect of the biological existents. It provides a large expanse of space for the migratory birds, along with attending to the humanscape. There is a provision of a walking track and the elevated garden space in this intervention. This is to improve the involvement of the youth in these public spaces. The skating park is mainly for the local population to embrace new forms of activities, it is aimed mostly at the existing migrant population present due to the presence of various educational institutions.

LIGHTING Monolithic outdoor lamp with an asymmetric stainless steel reflector to provide a light that blends in with the surroundings smoothly, providing a complete lighting solution for different areas in the project. Its characteristics guarantee a total lack of glare. Made from galvanized steel, Topa is available with two finishes: galvanized or painted with a corten effect. finish.

SOCIO CULTURAL CENTER Shettihalli Church, Hassan

Shettihalli Church is well known as the Submerged Church, and it is also a historical site. I would like to preserve the ruins of the church and at the same time bring in the essence of that site by redesigning the surroundings of the church, keeping the church to our advantage to attract tourists and generate income by creating a socio-cultural centre that brings in economy, tourist attraction, gathering space, multi-functional spaces, co-working spaces, exhibition spaces, a library, and accommodation spaces with a night camping area. The project works all 365 days a year, considering the seasonal changes that happen on the site during the monsoon season. By providing dikes, the water that floats during the monsoon season will be avoided.

CAMPUS DESIGN

Sandynulla Lake, HPF Hills, Ooty, Tamil Nadu Introduction This campus design project was proposed for a 20-acre area on the banks of Ooty’s Sandynulla Lake. The place appears to have hilly terrain. mixed with a forest of overgrown vegetation. The placement of the blocks in the layout is very organic and along the slopes. It has also been proposed to have solar panels on the flat roofs. These features help in making the campus self-sufficient as per the minor project. The project was to understand the site’s surrounding context and design a campus according to the site and its surroundings. There are five different academic blocks designed with a sports complex, an auditorium, a library, and a public plaza with a cafeteria.

Administration Block

Cafeteria

Institute of Art and Culture Ooty Design These academic blocks were created on the sloping contours of the site, which gives us more tarraces and better views from the site. The whole site was divided into public and semipublic spaces, and the academic blocks were considered the semi-public areas, while the auditorium, library, cafeteria, administration, etc. were considered public spaces. The Music Block is also designed on a slopy side of the site where the building can be accessed on two levels with a connection between two spaces. It has a huge terrace with a skylight above the staircase. The building projects towards the entrance of the lower level, which acts as a chajja from below. It also has projecting balconies that act as chill out spaces for every classroom.

Music Block Individual Blocks The cafeteria acts as a common space between the academic blocks and the public spaces. It’s kept semi-open so it gets better views and blends with the outdoors. It is placed on the sloping land and designed according to that slope. The administration block is designed on the highest contour and is near the common focal point (node). It has an open courtyard in the centre and a skylight. This makes it much better than just a room. The library has three floors and is the highest building in the complex. It is designed to get all the northern light rushing in through the building. Cafeteria

Hotel Design

Traditionally designed, Lake view hotel Introduction The site in Chikmagalur, in the western ghats, is surrounded by slopy mountains and a man-made lake. It is a perfect destination to attract tourists with a well-designed hotel and banquet halls where destination weddings take place. Also, a pavilion was designed for multiple purposes inside the site. The whole project focuses on the theme of the hotel, the services, and the BOH of a hotel. Here, I’m taking care of standards and bylaws for designing a hotel, understanding the workings of a hotel and also considering the requirements of the working staff. Physical Site model Typical Room Layout Design Each room is designed in such a way that it gets a view of the Hirekolale lake and has a balcony view of the surrounding mountains. The corner rooms are part of the suite, which has a living room adjacent to the room with a huge balcony, which is the roof of the twin rooms below. All rooms are given sliding doors, which are physically disabled-friendly. A common duct flows through it and connects to the service floor. The ground floor has a Gymnasium, banquet halls, pool and changing rooms, laundry rooms, cafes, restaurants, and the administration block. The site has a service road that deviates towards the back. The pool is in the centre of the complex, which acts as a buffer between the entrance and the rooms. Site Sections showing the contour levels and zoning of different spaces inside the hotel complex.

FOOD PARK

Chikkbanavara, Bangalore

Introduction. The selection of the site was part of an Urban Design study. So I wanted to design a themed restaurant which also had a food park. Based on the analysis, this restaurant was multi-functional and designed for all types of users in and around the neighbourhood. It is also designed to function at all three times of the day. The master plan here shows the zoning of the built and unbuilt spaces on the site along with the access points and exits from the site. It shows the food park and the food trucks movement in and out. The parking acts as a buffer from the busy road, which is active at all times of the day.

Mood Board This shows the materials used and the textures with which the restaurant themes throughout. Materials are selected, considering sustainability and cost.

First Floor Plan

Activity Board The restaurant and the food park are designed to function at all times of the day. So it’s designed to fulfil multiple functions happening all over the site, considering different age groups.

Views

Food Park / Restaurant

These views show the retail spaces which are displayed in and around the seating areas in the restaurant. That brings in more activity than just eating and spending time. People can shop and eat together. It also has exhibits displayed on one side of the restaurant. The other view shows the reception area and a small semi-open space for the waiting lobby, which also acts as a smoking zone in a cafe. There are book racks along the seating, which blends perfectly for a work from home cafe, most essential during the pandemic.

Food Park or the Food Truck Yard This is an open space inside the site that replicates the typical food street in local areas. This area would be active in the mornings for breakfast and snacks in the evenings for the locals and the truck drivers who pass by this road. This is designed based on the analysis done in the Urban Design studio. There is also a retail store near the entrance that sells daily needs.

Exterior Views and Sections

Interior View of the ground level

Exterior Two point perspective view

The restaurant is fully ventilated with a glass facade, which allows maximum daylight inside the building, and there are semi-open spaces projected out on both the sides, which act as outdoor seating. It is also designed with the differently abled in mind.

Cross section along the west side of the site.

Conclusion. Given the previous urban interventions, this restaurant fits in perfectly with the site context and surroundings.The ideology of a restaurant has changed and it is something more than just people stopping by, eating and leaving. At my best, this could be achieved by including multiple activities.

A Digital Illustration of the Summary of a Book

Site Visit I frequently look around for on-going construction buildings and randomly visit them. It helps me think outside the box and learn new design techniques and material knowledge. 26

Currently, I’m working on my thesis and I chose to design a Crematorium. Considering the present scenario and also the pandemic situation, we all know the need for crematoriums. As socially responsible architects, we need to get into the issue and design for a better world. Crematoriums and burial grounds are considered sacred lands and are being neglected. The need to have practical yet dignified places to dispose of bodies in metropolitan areas where deaths are common cannot be underestimated. There’s more to crematoriums and cemeteries than being surrounded by death’s darkness. There’s value in designing these places to have pleasant ambiances that can comfort the living. They primarily serve as a safe place for the deceased’s relatives and friends to express their grief and be consoled by giving their loved ones a respectful send-off. This is the objective of designing a crematorium. My conceptual approach to design is through the five senses of the human body. The family members of the deceased come to a crematorium to pay their respects to the dead, and they are left with the memories of that person. So to make that a memorable one, my design is giving them a better experience throughout and creating positive spaces in and around them. These senses heighten their memories and make them stronger. I’m looking forward to the end output of the design.

Thank You :)
