VISION “Re-imagining Saket as a physically active zone and Anupam Complex as India’s first only Active Entertainment Centre” The project site is in South Delhi.

After identifying the major issues that are currently present in Saket, a new structure plan was developed. It deals with five major characteristics namely identity, connectivity, major greens, human interaction and mixed-use character of street The main focus of the project was to revive the lost essence of Anupam Complex which was India’s first multiplex.

Rickshaws for loading/unloading goods at Anupam Complex slows down the traffic.

Hence sufficing all kinds of activities for the residents.

Section CC’

The presence of one of the Saket metro gate causes sharing as well as private autos to stop at the end of the Pramod Mahajan Marg causing another reason for congestion but at the same time improving connectivity of Saket with other areas on the Mehrauli Badarpur road.

Site Context

Initial massing

The initial zoning was done with respect to the context and the noise thresholds. The formal private spaces are placed towards the residence and the main open area is placed towards the school. This area is designed such that it acts as a gradual transition between the two streets as well as the two functions the streets - sports and entertainment.

Zoning is done such massing on the southern side is higher than the massing on northern side to block the south sun and allow glare free sunlight throughout the day. A stretch of retail shops provided towards the proposed mixed-use street while entertainment and recreational activities are placed towards the sports street.

Final form

Massing blocks are modified and given a curvilinear character using convex and concave curves break the basic straight axis and make the complex more welcoming while enhancing the curiosity of the visitor.

The central space in between the complex acts as public plazas. To connect the two recreational blocks, a connection bridge was designed having more retail spaces.

The form of the complex is further refined and finalized. Instead of providing aquarium, scuba diving, snorkeling and i-fly simulator as separate entities inside the building, they are clubbed together and provided as a free-standing structure in the central space giving the central plaza an unique character and experience for the visiting public.

The proposed site for the project is in the South Western Delhi which Delhi Development Authority (DDA) sets to develop as a smart city.

The main strategy of the project was to develop a mixed-use residential complex that strikes out and breaks the concept of vertical towers while not having any connecting corridors.

This was achieved by adopting hexagonal cores, large-span cantilevers and connecting common terraces.

The proposed site for NID Delhi is located in the 420Ha. land of J.N.U Institutional area in South-West Delhi.

The site is on a contoured terrain with a water body at the lowest point that gets recharged seasonally during the monsoon.

The main idea behind the design was to have a common building for all the department’s to maximize interaction. The building is oriented such that the core (library) faces the water body.

Building is divided vertically such that all the workshops are on one floor while studios on the other to enhance interaction between all the departments.

The proposal is a phantasmagorical critique of junk space, proposing a speculative and forming a new industrial park at the city's central park hybridizing the mechanical functions and processes of industry with the mechanics of amusement juxtaposing themes of consumerism, manufacturing, tourism and pleasure.

Is architecture just a skin? Hollowed out by multiplicity of tiny utopian expressions of opulence and illusion ascribing every inch of space with a false significance today.

The idea is to bring the disclosure to the otherwise aloof public-an urban artefact, a 'container' of containers peeling away the national front to reveal the accumulation of objects, a pathwork of images and the equipment that helps program interiority that one operates so seamlessly within

CONNAUGHT PLACE - SITE JUSTIFICATION In a European classical sense a city strives for an interface between itself and its citizens placing images that are ahead of the time. First the church, then the railway station, the western cities have immortalized certain symbols of development.

Third world cities share a fetish for following but lack definate identification of these symbols. However, these cities are not able to critically identify symbols and end up accumulating only a patchwork of images and objects in space that are semantically incongruent.

It is a point of reflection with a set of telescopes showing the skeleton of the city. Pile of frames on the floor provide a new perspective of the fabrication around us.

A metaphor for entrapment by constraints that are self imposed.

One passes through a curation desired objects.

A series of seductive niches that are meant to captivate the users by means of revelation of services that run under the skin. Here one is bound to find the significance of artificially conditioning structures.

Contrary to the infrastructural spaces associated with the movement of masses the A-Mazed floor reveals the presence of the objects that befall the moving people.

Koti Banal Architecture Location : Gona, Uttarkashi, Uttrakhand Year : 2018 Collaborators : 9 Softwares Used : Sketchup, Photoshop, Illustrator

The Koti Banal structure in the Gona village which dates back to 728Âą 60 years before present reveals that the principles of Koti Banal architecture are not strictly adhered to in this structure. The Gona structure could well represent earlier stages of the evolution of the Koti Banal architecture whereby experiments on these lines might have led to the evolution of the perfect form. There however exists possibility of this structure representing later modifications to the original style in an attempt to make these structures more occupant friendly.

ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES • Wood and Stone were used for construction which were locally available.

• Cost efficiency • Stability • Earthquake proof due to non-rigidity of joints • Endure the adverse weather conditions • The main door is called Muhav or Mwal • A staircase called Khutkumi leads to the Chajja or Chaaj • Kitchen is generally under gabled roof on the top floor.

• Gabled roof is called Pakho, covered with stone slate.

• For plastering wall mud pate is used.

• Clay and dung were abruptly used because of their insulating properties

Houses made with wood and stone are rigid and earthquake safe. The joints are flexible enough move during earthquakes.

These houses are one of the best earthquake safe structures but cannot exceed more than two to three storeys. They are constructed having a stone foundation, wooden beams, columns, doors and window frames and roofs.

DETAIL AT C Dovetail members to bind the beam together

Houses made with brick and RCC are modern construction technologies adopted by the residents. They are rigid and breaks during earthquakes.

SECTIONAL ELEVATION

The main constituents of Koti Banal architectural style are: i) Simple layout of the structure, ii) Construction on elaborate, solid and raised platform, iii) Judicious use of locally available building material, iv) Incorporation of wooden beams all through the height of the building at regular intervals, v) Small openings and vi) Shear walls.
