| Design Principle
P R O V O C A T I O N S We live in a world with constant multiple mental and physical forces affecting our daily behaviours and actions. We live by such provocations (positive and negative) that indirectly or directly become a part of how we shape our inner soul and outer reality. Yet, we are in a constant urge to find one such positive provocative energy in our lives where our inner forces are resolved. But what are these provocations? Provocations do not have a central definition. It is a subjective property of each individual defined by their cultural and traditional backgrounds, which also makes it temporal in nature. Such temporal nature of provocations, we live by, affects a person’s perspective towards what is good or bad, rich or poor, detailed or incomplete, yin or yang. To me, Architecture, Art and Music are all positive provocations that deflates negative provocations like media, politics, and economics present within our sphere of energy. Provocative design hereby, makes a socio-cultural statement. It tries to answer the sociocultural challenges of society by identifying its need and its want. These positive provocations orchestrate life’s delicate, beautiful chaos. They are always in rigid connection with humans mind and soul which always play a key role in the creation of people-friendly designs. I find such counter-provocations in my designs that allow the spaces to challenge the psychological and physiological needs of a human experiencing that space.

I believe that it is only through emotions, through subjective twists in things, through the poetry of life and through the love of people that profundity in architecture emerges. Hence, analysis of emotional as well as socio-cultural needs of a particular user group is an important aspect of my design process. Where poetry is said to be the sound of heart, I find it to be perfect medium that expresses the emotive energy of people and holds the power to provoke larger human population not only through words but also through spaces. Poetry provide sensual and emotional substructure to spaces that provides an order to mind, body and soul of user groups. Such poetic approach to architecture gives narrative to my design process, enhancing the focus on societal and nature-related challenges. Christopher Charles Benninger rightly said – “We can formulate ideas and concepts and nurture attitudes and ‘constructs’, but without welling up of emotions these are merely dull academia. Truth dwells in emotions of the heart. That is where poetry in architecture originates from”

SEARCHING GURUGRAM Sprouted through thick and thin, I am a body, who caused no sin. But still cursed by earthling, Who never stop searching, For a life with meaning. I was made with no plan, And no heart of itself, But mind was kind, To provide man, with all the grind. Image as I am, more than personage, Gazing upon the earthlings, Who live like renegade, For providing my cells, With an instrument, To be collaborative And intimate. That instrument, beyond the conscious, Is the fourth way of spiritualness, Fourth way of one man-ness, And fourth way of motion-ness.

COLLABORATIVE-NESS The planning and development of Gurgaon has in a way affected the inner energies of its residents. The people of Gurgaon are becoming not just a part of this privatized community, but they have instead lost the spiritual connection with inner consciousness and outer reality.
isometric tesseract | weekday Smaller central collaborative space
Our Project revolves around the central idea of collaborative cloud which forms the nucleus of collective liveliness and tries to create realizations related to the thought that “You are what you seek for (looking towards self-development) and people around you are a part of the universe you revolve with. (Power of unity)”
the fourth way of consciousness This is achieved in our project by the divulgence of collaborative spaces in the built environment that keep on changing with respect to time allowing them to amalgamate with people from other spaces. When the structure would revolve around this central core of collaborative hub, people would engage themselves more to these static stations enhancing themselves with outer reality. This temporality, hence, is the basis of the fourth way (higher consciousness) of looking towards spaces.

We wanted this structure to be a new landmark for Gurgaon, where evryone can unite and collaborate to act as single entity and create no social distinctions. Hence, the outer skin of lower tesseract, which is free to move in and out of the facade, is designed in to cater the ambition of structure being an iconic beacon of Gurgaon. Contrast, drama, and fourth dimensionality all play a role digital screens on it that not only acts as a jaalli, but also provides a dramatic and playful facade which allows the building to become an iconic beacon of Gurgaon.

Most of the Important Cities are located on Coastal Side, vulnerable to high sea level rise
PARASATIC METABOLISM UNDER SEA-LEVEL STRESS GLOBAL ISSUE FOR COASTAL CITIES
90% of the world’s largest cities like Mumbai, New York, Calcutta, and many others are situated on the waterfront. It is believed that by 2050, coastal urban cities will grow so rapidly due to the constant migration to these areas in search of better opportunities that half of the world population will be living within 100 kilometers from the coast (Adger, 2005).
This continuing urbanization process in coastal areas will lead to a large increase in capital and population further increasing the demand for land and resources which are already known to be scarce in most parts of the urban cities. Urbanization also converts agricultural land into urban areas, therefore, reducing the productive agricultural land. But at the same time, these growing cities require more agricultural land to supply food and other resources to the rising number of inhabitants with increasing living standards.
As a consequence, flood risk has increased dramatically due to the above reasons. Scientists have warned that coastal areas currently home to 300 million people will be vulnerable by 2050 to flooding made worse by climate change, no matter how aggressively humanity curbs carbon emissions.
Hence, it becomes urgent to adapt, innovate, and prepare to accommodate the future billions in sustainable, efficient, and inclusive cities that can foster and answer the problem caused by the parasitic behavior of delta cities.
570 low-lying coastal cities will face projected sea level rise by at least 0.5 meters which will put over 800 million people at risk from the impacts of rising seas and storm surges.

DIM1 NEED/ESSENTIALS/EKISTICS/5 ELEMENTS
EXPANDED CITY'S
Dimension 1 is based on the five elements of Ekisitics theory by C.A. Doxiadis that responds to the human dimensions by creating a link between human settlements and human’s basic need. According to this theory, human settlements consists of 5 elements: Nature, the earth, and the natural site on which they are built; Man who creates and inhabits them; Society which is formed mainly in them and whose Networks functions allow them to survive and grow; and Shells (structures), which are built to transform the first and to house the other three elements.
KIT
The culture of a city comprises of the values, beliefs, behavior, and material objects that form a people’s way of life. Any local city culture and human habits are, hence, always connected with each other. Any city’s culture comprises of five basic elements: Dances and Music, Dialects, Dresses, Diets, and an Ornamental quality that each city solely holds for itself due to the history and socioeconomic changes it has gone through.

The structure consists of an RCC structural core and horizontal floor plates. As the culture of street act as an important aspect in city's nature, this vertical city has vertical streets that allows people to connect and collaborate horizontally as well as vertically. This interconnection is introduced with tetrahedron modules (See module diagram) which are further provided with functions in an inter-mixed manner to break the consistency and create a walkable community.

MOBILITY THROUGH AIR AND LAND
SEA WASTE INTO USABLE MATERIAL
The mobility plays an important aspect in vertical city to provide easy and quick access to a structure that is spread over 5 acres.
Sea Waste is one of the major aspect of concern leading to climate change which further results in increasing earth's temperature, loss of marine life, among others.
This mobility option has high end rotating propellers that provides high maneuverability. The sides open up like wings that provide it an aerodynnamic design. Feature like this also connects the floating city with exisiting city
Shaded Station Benches
Propellers rotatable and convertible to wheels for motion on land
Sea waste is growing day to day with fishing net as the highest pollutant in the sea. These waste products will be extracted from the immediate context of the structure and used as building material.

A local culture comprises of five fundamental elements, which are Bhesh, Bhasha, Bhojan, Bhooshan and Bhajan. The Bazaar, acts as a cocoon to these elements, protecting and presenting these five elements.

Here, our program revolves around these five elements of ’s culture, trying to touch upon every edge of its culture.

BHOJAN
BHOOSHAN
Commercial shops selling traditional Haryana dresses and jewelleries.
Library for haryanvi poets, writers and novelists, literary galas, comedy shows(as haryanvi poetry has humour in it).
Music And Dance classes in Kala Academy, as well as periodical music and dance shows in amphitheatres.
Local Vendor Shops who cook and sell ocal haryanvi food.
Stadiums, hostels for villagers, tribute to national wrestlers.
Currently, there are no major institutions teaching Haryanvi, no major adulations to Haryanvi poets, playwrights, or writers.
Music and dance has been the soul of Haryana. It is indeed unfortunate that folk dances such as the Ghumar, Jhumar, Gugga, Dhap, Chaupaiya, Phag, Loor and Dhamal are almost unheard of outside the state.
If we talk about Haryana's cuisine, it evokes simplicity, which seems to be neglected in Haryana. How many outside the state would have heard of Methi Gajar or Kachri ki Sabzi?
The people of Haryana especially Jats are more inclined to sports like Kabbadi and kushti. There is tradition of Akhadas and it has given various national and international level wrestlers.
No place where you can sit and try out Bajra Aloo Roti with desi Makhan and Teet ka Achar or a Bajre ki Khichri and Hara Dhania Cholia.
In these times Kushti and Kabaddi are sole source of entertainment in villages on occasions like Holi and Fagun
Dresses
Men - Dhoti, shirt, turban and a pair of shoes. Woman's - Ghaggri (a long skirt), shirt and a printed orhni which has long cloth used to drape the front area of her body. Have a lot of affinity for ornaments which are made of gold and silver.
Dialects
It is imperative that Haryanvi be accorded the importance that it deserves in its own state. Young men and women desiring to study the language should be provided with the necessary opportunities.
Dances and Songs
Such vivid and colourful art forms can be highlights of tourism in Haryana

SET THE
Keeping in mind the above-mentioned thoughts, the built form was divided into 4 stages to effectively engage learners emotionally, physically, and intellectually with the professionals, leveraging both conscious and unconscious attainment of knowledge. They ensure that explicit knowledge is integrated into implicit knowledge in a way that makes it useful and persistent.

STAGES TO EFFECTIVE LEARNING
Stage where students encourage and inspire themselves as well as observe and document thoughts, and works of other accomplished professionals/fellow mates to set a goal for focused learning.
2017
SEEK (EXPLICIT LEARNING) STAGE 2
|
This stage is structured around practices that involve active listening, seeking clarification, research, and critical thinking which happens by accessing the academic and scholarly materials and by listening, which connects us to a specific subject at a critical level.
APPLY (IMPLICIT LEARNING) | STAGE 3
Implicit knowledge is the practical application of explicit knowledge. It is structured around the practices that include actionlearning, project-based learning. It is a stage of rehearsing yourself by applying explicit knowledge in the everyday world.
REFLECT | STAGE 4
In the final stage, students are encouraged to gain constructive criticism from professional architects and work with the feedback received. It allows them to cultivate humility and to overcome their cognitive biases.

ABOUT THE MODULE
“Tête-à-tête” literally means “head-to-head” in French, and the seating creation allows just that. Its S-shaped, serpentine form encourages two people to face each other and engage in conversation, yet still be visually tied to their surroundings.
The module is divided in such a way that the professionals and students can have their own personal spaces, but still stay tied/ connected through an inclined semi private area (the reflect stage) to encourage a collaborative and higher practical sharing of knowledge.
The thought behind creation of such a furniture that can engage people in intimate conversations, led to the development of a module that works on a similar phenomenon.
The students also get easy access to the informal areas of implicit spaces like offices, through this inclined semi-private area i.e THE REFLECT STAGE.

Tesseract is the Fourth Dimension. Its all about time, and so is architecture. Architecture flows like a stream in meadows and swirls and banks freely, but with time it erodes the soil around it and shapes the Earth to reveal new forms. These forms are ever changing - ever evolving. The tesseract is a physical manifestation of the ever changing nature of the Architecture and the evolution of the users with it. T_02

The growth of the tesseract starts with a 9.375 sqm living accommodation that features basic human life processes - EAT, LIVE, REST, CLEAN. These are the basic requirements that a living being and we as humans require. As time passes, we expect both, the number of people residing to increaseand their requirements to enhance. As the requirements enhance, the basic living processes aslo start to develop into new functions. These functions are the results of the overlap of the basic living conditions with one another - eat and live give dining; live and rest give entertainment; rest and maintian give dressing and lastly; clean and eat gives hygiene.

PROJECT Mr. Ratnesh Nema was a very minimalistic and simple person and so was his family. He is strongly bonded to his core values and believes in Indian cultures and traditions with honest heart. He required a 4 bhk house for him and his elder brother with a common space to interact and connect with each other.
Taking these values forward, the plan is made as such to provide them with maximum flexibiity to connect each other's living room completely without any limitations. As the client wanted kitchen on the above floor, the living room and kitchen are interconnected through double height living space. The materials are also chosen as such to evoke simplicity and calm energy of the client.
Ground Floor P lan The Painting on the facade tries to break the symmetry. This painting is also an expression of abstract Indian tradition

Dissertation
As we progress with our own discrete futures, it becomes necessary to stop, and wander on how we want the future of humankind to look like. Where the world is dealing with a pandemic today, it questions that, the way we have shaped ourselves, do we want our coming generations to retain to such possessions too OR NOT?
When it comes to Hospitals, the prevailing situation also questions the very need of how have we shifted from creating spaces for us, the humans, to creating spaces for technologies. People running away from their quarantine centres because of the fear and anxiety of hospital spaces questions the whole hospital community, to whether they generating ‘care’ for humans or merely treating humans as ‘machines’.
HOSPITIUM, is not about how we place a sonography machine in how much space. We all know how to do that. Instead it is about adding the factor of ‘humans’ in those spaces that were meant to be sculpted for and by humans. Isn’t it ironic? It becomes necessary to look at the inception of healing spaces like Corpus Hippocratum and Ayurveda, and thread our future with it.

Synopsis Of Dissertation Hospitium is a Greco-Roman concept which defines hospitality as a divine right of the patients and divine duty of the medical staff. In response to the crisis of modernism, Hospitium counter-balances the gaps that modernism brought with itself. Jan Gehl, a famous Danish architect and urban design consultant based in Copenhagen wrote in one of his books that “modernism and ‘motorism’ confused a lot of architects and planners about what was a comfortable scale for human beings” (Alonso, 2017). This confusion and shifting of focus from humans to technologies is one of the major reasons why we don’t find ourselves healing in the environments we live in. The increasing urban population, less area available for people in urban areas, and increasing poverty has reduced the flexibility for people to focus on such humanistic designs at personal level. Hospitals, whereas, which were meant to provide people with mental and physical healing have also deviated to become mechanical institutions. It is hence expected in the future that hospitals, that are known to be the only typology that focuses on and encourages healing of humans, should not lean onto the darker side of the world. It becomes the duty of architects, medical staff, and clients to maintain this typology’s key feature and drive it towards providing people with healing and humanized environments which they may not find at their own homes.
Hospitium, hence, answers the core needs of patients and pushes them towards the direction of achieving ‘Sense of Coherence’ through affordable, basic and manageable architectural interventions. Hospitium defines 11 simple concepts that are intangibly linked to each other and revolve around a common centre defined by Salutogenic domains of Sense of Coherence. These domains of salutogenic treatment of an individual are ‘Comprehensibility, Manageability and Meaningfulness’ which guide the other principles that revolve around it. The force that binds the architectural concepts and the Salutogenic treatment are art and environmental psychology which are proven to be exceptionally beneficial for the patient’s mental and physical wellbeing. As India and many other parts of the world are suffering from poverty, hunger, access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as the lack of human resources, Affordability as well as the need to Generate Income becomes a universal concept that should be focused from the starting point of the design process to the end of the final drawings.

" If a tangible building is called upon to house an intangible or inexpressable belief (the psychology of creating art), then a successful work of architecture will be both functionally appropriate and spiritually enriching. " - LOUIS KAHN
