CURRICULUM VITAE
R.THAMARAI I’m a person who strives to find perfection in everything I do. I can always do the best in everything I do. I believe anyone can do beyond their best if they put their heart and soul into it. Architecture is something that connects everything, such as nature, music, lifestyle, emotions. I feel it has the power to change human’s way of living as it’s been a part of human history as one of the basic needs (shelter). I’ve attempted to understand and convey in my design the day to day part of the architecture in human life and how it brings comfort to us.

SITE PLAN
The zoning reference is from the town planning of Madurai. The attributes taken were temple the central node, streets which direct and act as a spill out space, and small nodes which serve different functions.
Surface extrusion excluding setback and vehicular access
Providing 2 main entry and major streets breaking the mass
Breaking the mass and providing secondary streets
Providing green space as central node
Circulation core opening to streets which acts as a buffer
Rising the mass to provide stilt parking and common area
Streets connect the temple, nodes, and houses.
The intend is to provide village attributes to the urban context. In a fast-paced urban life, we don't have time to get along with people. Rural life embraces socializing. Spaces connect people and vice versa. Hence the process of spatial zoning was to connect people by interlinking functions and activities. B’

RESIDENCE Users : Visiting professors Semester : 02
Location : Anna University Chennai Site area : 570 sqm
PROFESSOR’S PAD The idea of this project was to design accommodation for visiting professors amidst the campus zone by providing programs seen in most residences. The site provided was in a residential area of the campus. Hostels and a small commercial hub were adjacent to the site.
SITE PLAN
Surface extrusion excluding setback and vegetation
Providing entry and removal of mass Circulation core at center to ease access and to create buffer
Zoning of spaces vertically to provide less ground cover and increase vegetation
Based on the context, the ground level of the site becomes semi-public and semi-private zones. Hence the intent was to provide comfort found in most residences by providing spaces found in those typologies without ignoring the context

IN THE L∞P The brief is to create a place that lights awareness about ocean pollution to the public. Location : Marina beach, Chennai
We eat the plastic which we use. We all are well aware of this fact, but the plastic in our food is not in the same form as we used or visible to our eye, which makes use forget about that fact. Humans are using too many plastics were the sea and sea beings are fed by these plastics. Will we be willing to eat the food mixed with visible plastic? The site is chosen as a beach were WATER LAND - HUMANS are the main elements and also a place where plastic pollution is seen a lot. Giant humans figure about 1.5 times larger than the human scale made of polycarbonate is filled with plastic wastes. Here the term “plastics we consume� is exemplified by giving it a familiar form to humans. And the plastics filled inside denotes the plastic fed to the sea, finally reaching human food. These figures are given forms similar to human activities seen on a beach, making them one among us. The number of figures and the amount of plastic filled changes concerning the amount of plastic waste fed to the sea. We know. We see. We can change.
