Block Generation

Urban Graft project addresses the phenomenon of decline in spatial in developing 2 +3 qualities m countries due to rapid urbanisation.

The proposal analyses indigenous settings for their spatial qualities and attributes. The open spaces and built morphologies in these settings are studied as they are the embodiment of the local socio-cultural and environmental aspects.

Analysis of the specified settlements includes conversion of the spatial and organisational aspects into numeric parameters and geometric logics, to be used in the computational design process.

Our ambition focuses on the development of an evolutionary urban design model, which can accommodate demographic pressures of density while retaining its spatial identity based on former settlements.

This project was a design competition which dealt with a brief we have to find and analyse historically important but defunt spaces within the city fabric and redesig them altogether.

The Design sets up a bench mark in the modern energy saving techniques as well as reciprocates with the homogenous mass of historic structures around the precinct in its built form.

The structure becomes a module in establishing a unique blend between conserving the historic fabric and future developments.

It was important to create an environment in which walkability and green spaces became the primary drivers. The intent was to have high connectivity within a high density city, in which people would be able to access the existing public transit system, as well as incorporation of walking paths for pedestrians. In studies of tissue samples from other cities, an interest emerged from the utilization of public green spaces, primarily driven from the WHO standard for a healthy city [9 m sq.].

Densification was critical in the way a city could be analyzed at the building, the block and the neighborhood levels. At each stage. the relationship between programmes changes in their connection and proximity to each other. In order to generate growth, a branching system [L-system] was utilized for the purpose to distributing programmes on the site.

The site selected reflected on the idea of how public markets are on the brink of extinction, and are in the need of a revamp, in order to cater to the growing needs and yet keep the tradition of the public markets alive.

The design of the people’s mall “Continumm”, was in order to bridge this very gap, keeping in mind and focusing mainly on the flexibility of activities in a public space.

The design concept revolves around the phrase “CONNECTED yet UNCONNECTED”.

The design aims to bridge the gap between biological and technology driven world keeping in mind the humane aspects connecting them. It truly aims at creating a symbiotic relationship between man and nature.

The design draws inspiration from the local geniuses- Weaver ants’ nest, Maryada wel, Harvester anthill, asparagus creeper and conical anthill.

BIOMIMETIC APPROACHES NATURE

DESIGN

BIOMIMETIC APPROACHES NATURE

DESIGN

1. Law of shortest route :

5. Ant - Hill Ventilation :

The primary law of nature that every organism takes the shortest route for movement has been emulated by providing connectors between the structures so that the shortest route can be taken to travel within the site.

Like the system of channels within the anthill keeps them well ventilated; four main shafts have been designed that act as conduits for fresh air ventilation and stale air exhaust. These shafts also form the structural members that support the roof.

2. Harvester Ant - Soil Erosion :

6. Weaver Ants - Water Leakage :

The characterestic feature of not allowing the water to enter the nest was mimicked by providing curved pathways reducing ground runoff and collecting water in a pond for “ Rain water harvesting “.

The nest of the weaver ant is woven in a manner that it ensures no water leaks into it; similarly louvers have been employed within the residential block that ensures that water does not seep in.

3. Maryada Wel Leaf - Skin :

7. Ant Hill - Thermoregulation :

Every leaf has a layer present on it that protects the leaf from the hazardous entities in nature; likewise a roof has been designed for the institution that acts as a protective skin for the structures.

Similar to the pores present in the conical anthill, jalis have been used in all the buildings so that the buildings are thermo regulated.

4. Zonning and Orientation:

8. Maryada Wel - Optimum Utilisation - Shape

The leaves of Maryada wel jut out and do not overlap on the terrain to gain sunlight so that every leaf gets sufficient resource for its growth. The massing and orientation within the site has been done such that all the structures are well ventilated and lit.

All the buildings have a circular shape in plan similar to the leaved of the Maryada wel, that helps consume least amount of resources for construction and create spaces with maximum area.

View of Residential Block

Experiments on the runner

This experiment helped in understanding the growth patterns in which Maryada wel accommodated itself within the space constraint and when could not spread horizontally it started growing vertically to obtain maximum sunlight.

This runner forms one of the main sources of inspiration in the design strategies employed in the site.

View of Public area

Innovative Technologies & Material • Prefabricated perforated concrete panels have been used as jalis that help in the process of thermoregulation.

• Recycled Bisleri bottles have been incorporated within the site for form rainwater harvesting towers.

The water collected in these towers is stored on the ground so that they can be directly be used for horticulture and in turn avoid the use of pumps.

• The design of the roof accommodates on itself solar panels that would generate energy for the functioning of the institution. To create a condition of biodiversity a garden has been incorporated on the roof that would fascinate people and lure everyone towards the dynamic character of the roof.

• Hollow floor slabs made of flyash have been used to accommodate service conduits and in turn create flexible spaces.

• Reinforced cages with rubble form the massive walls created in the public area.

Articulated surface AA, EmTech

This project explores the use of a simple geometry to develop a complex spatial configuration.

Through a series of component aggregations, local, regional and global hierarchies develop within the system. These orders are defined through a local actuator element developed to adjust each component, allowing for a multitude of forms it can take.

Integrated components on a regional scale influence their neighbours creating patches of differing form intensity and porosity. Regional patches combine to develop a varying global system. Through both physical and computational associative modelling, these variations demonstrate clear hierarchical component logic, resulting in a final self-supporting form with global double curvature.

Horsetail AA, EmTech

Horsetail_//Ruben Taboada, Tejas Sidnal, Vassiliki Mvrogianni, Georgios Maragkos

The Horsetail as one of the oldest plants on earth and has been inspiring mathematicians, physics and designers because of its unusual shape and morphology of the stem.

The aim of this project is to investigate the geometry of the segments of the stalk or spacing of the nodes to manipulate the stiffness and curvature in tubular objects and create different configurations.

To obtain these differentiations a series of interconnected inputs have been studied in two groups: • Nodes: position number and spacing • Tubular section: thickness, length and diameter By a deep physical and digital investigation of the nodes and section, different feedbacks were use to manipulate local, regional and global geometry of the system.

Porosity Transcraft

This porosity pavillion was designed and exhibited for the Kalaghoda Arts Festival 2015 in Mumbai.

The strategy for variable porosity in this pavillion was an inspiration from nature.

This is very evidently seen in many aspects in nature including the bone as they have more material at places where required and less where it does not have structural / functional need.

The Idea of creating an enclosure with an installation that houses a makers space along with custom printing was to promote the idea of innovation and makers culture in India. Completely 3D Printing an Installation with small parts and interlocking them to form one big piece was explored for this installation along with the play of shadow and light. This intersection of these two themes create a challenging but extremely interesting installation for the set Kalaghoda 2015 theme.

In our proposal, the design of spaces and the physical manifestation of the academy finds its base in three fundamental aspects viz. History, Sustainability & response to contemporary needs.

The design looks at the vernacular architecture of Chhattisgarh to derive ideas for place making in the local environment.

Our study of the tradition and tribal culture of the state has been incorporated in various elements of design to achieve a unique identity to the design of CgNa. Elements of Chhattisgarh’s landscape and topography too, add to healthy site integration. Finally, the overarching layer of ‘Sustainability’ binds all the ideas together for a wholistic design solution.

The YMCA project started from the schematic design phase in which we made 2 options both dealt with the courtyard type design.

For the terraced model (option1) the design development was initiated with the idea of various volumes of cubes intersecting to create cascading terraces as spill out spaces which can be accomodated within the built form. While for the oriented block model (option2) the blocks were oriented along north-south axis to maximise the east-west opeanings and minimise the heat gain from the south facade considering the long hot summers.

One of the option with terraced garden was taken forward and submission drawings have been prepared. We are now waiting for its approval to start working drawings and execution.
