DESIGN AND CULTURAL CENTER


MASTER’S PROJECT

_SITE DESCRIPTION The period following 2003 has been one of the most challenging periods of Baghdad. In the last 15 years, Iraq has lost more than 50 percent of its historic buildings. The site of the proposed Design and Cultural Center is located on the very famous Al-Rusafa, known to be one of the main historic center of Baghdad. Currently, the broken facade of a Heritage governate building sits on the site, which is the remains post the looting and vandalism in the week that followed the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

_SITE PLAN The building site sits on the famous historic center of Baghdad, Al-Rusafa, with many historic buildings on one side and typical residential blocks with courtyards on the other side. These historic buildings either have ‘Domes’ or ‘Minarets’ and huge entrance arches as an important architectural element in the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore we can see a ‘juxtaposition of circles inside quadrilaterals’ in the plans of neighboring context.

_AIM As mentioned earlier, the proposed Design and Cultural Center retain the old broken facade on the site to celebrate the heritage of Baghdad. This site has no order and is an abstract shape in plan. The new built form aims to create interactive internal spaces for the designers to come and work together, while also having an interaction with the existing walls. This could be achieved by introducing several smaller circular spaces within the boundary of the existing facade. These circular spaces turned out to relate to a similar architectural pattern as existing in the context. ARCHITECTURE

Circular spaces achieving increased interaction with the existing facade, avoiding isolated corners and giving more importance to the existing corners of the old facade.

Streamlined movement achieving maximum contact with the existing facade.

Giving verticality to the circular spaces forms multiple “silos” providing more usable floor area at higher levels. The verticality that comes with the silos forms introverted along with interactive space that encourages truly a communal learning experience.

Juxtaposing ‘circular spaces over linear spaces’, ‘vertical forms over horizontal form’ and ‘new structure over old’.

DESIGN AND CULTURAL CENTER

The silos are introduced to create a strong visual connection with the adjacent walls and to benefit views from the surrounding neighborhood and river.


MASTER’S PROJECT

_IDEA The first step taken while designing the proposed center was to create circular spaces that aid in providing maximum internal interaction, external interplay with the heritage facade and continuous movement through various spaces, thus having strong spatial energy. The use of circular spaces helps in achieving both internal and external interactions, providing highly networked space within the circles as well as between the circles and the square facade.

Co-Working Amphitheatre Gallery

Introverted, enclosed spaces providing a concentrated social atmosphere for the designers.

Circular spaces providing continuous movement to the users. ~ A circular amphitheater efficiently directs all concentration towards the stage. ~ Spiral design for the gallery gives continuous flow in the circulation to the viewers. ~ A circular co-working space increases social interaction and easy movement from one space to another.

Voids are created through the volumes to bring in daylight to the interior spaces. Cutouts punched through the volumes of the silos to form interesting spaces as well as give openness to the building.

Silos are sliced at different angles on the top to control and create an interplay of light inside the building. Glazing and Vertical fins are used in the facade for Passive solar shading and light control.

CASCADING TERRACES CONVERSATION IN A CAR PARK BUILDING

PROJECT TYPE

: RE-DESIGN

PURPOSE

: MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT

LOCATION

: MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

YEAR

: 2018

The project was to transform an existing car-park structure into a mixed-use development with singular residential as one of the main use. The focus of the project was individual activity, addressing a future with population control has atomized society. In this evolving context, car parks are now an opportunity, where ‘one individual per car park spot’ became the starting condition for the proposal. The proposal demanded accommodation for the same number of individual as the original structure parking spots. The design can include extensions on original volume for ‘indispensables’ as interconnected programs to residential activity. The project integrated sustainable matters, therefore the design demonstrated environmental awareness and attended interdependent issues. To do so the proposal combined residential program with more ‘indispensable’ attentions, to solve issues regarding interaction of humans with the earth and with each other.

CASCADING TERRACES


MASTER’S PROJECT

_SITE DESCRIPTION The site is located at Parkville, which is an inner-city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. Parkville is a major research, education and healthcare precinct and home to the top universities and hospitals and this cluster employs 40,100 people. The site encompasses of an existing car-park building called Cardigan House Car Park and is bordered on three sides by existing streets being Grattan Street to the south, Dorrit street to the east and Cardigan street to the west. The building is a concrete structure with brick walls in the north and south.

_KEY PROGRAMS A PLACE TO WORK Shared Library / Co-working space : Students-Startups-Research

A PLACE TO LIVE Accommodation : Graduates-Students-Visiting Faculties-Yuppies

SPACE FOR EVENTS Thought LABs : Hackathons : Floor Talks : Exhibition OPEN SPACE FOR RECREATION Entrance leading to central open space : Oasis - Rooftop Gardens COMPLIMENTARY SPACES Retails : Restaurants : Cafe’s : Gaming Arena

_IDEA To design a building that can instill a sense of authority and monumentality that may underlie the functions housed within. The housing should communicate ideas about how to live by the way they are organized on the inside and how they relate to the public realm on the outside while responding to the surrounding contextual street-scape conditions.

LIFTING THE EDGE URBAN OASIS - CE

PERMEABLE FACADE SPACES TO CREATE INT AS WELL AS VISU LANDSCAP


MASTER’S PROJECT

The first step taken towards the proposed mixed development was to create a CENTRAL OPEN SPACE to bring in sunlight and natural ventilation. The main corner of the building was then opened to create an ENTRANCE ARCH to the building by lifting the edge and creating an entrance to the central open space. The height of the building was then increased to accommodate Residential units and introduced with CASCADING TERRACES that aid in providing panoramic views of the city as well as bring in light and ventilation. The edges on the ground floor were opened by Retails and Cafeteria’s to ACTIVATE THE EDGES, to create interaction between the busy street and the building, thus making use of the ground level frontage on three sides. An URBAN OASIS was designed in the Central Open Space to create a more soothing experience and contrast from the busy surrounding neighborhood. This would invite people to sit, relax, socialize and activate the core of the building, thus creating continuous movement through different spaces creating strong spatial energy and adding value to the building. PERMEABLE FACADE ELEMENTS AND GLAZING were used on event spaces to create interest and visual connectivity from streets. LANDSCAPED TERRACES with activity zones were provided for the users of the building for recreational purposes and quality of life. The overall approach helped in obtaining an innovative and site-responsive form.

LOUISE WATERFRONT RESTAURANT

PROJECT TYPE

: DESIGN RESOLUTION

PURPOSE

: RECREATION

LOCATION

: MANGALORE, INDIA

YEAR

: 2017

The unit ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN RESOLUTION focused on architectural design development, which is essentially the development of depth in architectural thinking and it’s representation. The process of design development helps architectural ideas to gain essential depth and brings a sense of order, material richness, structural integration, particular qualities of light, and sophisticated spatial definition to the project through repeated design investigation. For this, the unit required to select one of my previous design projects from 5th, 4th or 3rd-year design unit, and use it as the base for the unit’s design investigations. The project, Waterfront Restaurant is a part of a luxury beach river resort designed in my bachelor’s course work final Thesis Project situated in Surathkal, Karnataka, India. Water - used as an aesthetic element, both either as a feature or a function to enrich the design of the building was the main driving principle in the design development of the main project which can be seen in-depth by clicking on the following link - ‘Apas’ Beach River Resort.

WATERFRONT RESTAURANT


MASTER’S PROJECT

_ARCHITECTURAL IDEA + DESIGN PRINCIPLE The restaurant block sits in a beautifully landscaped setting, surrounded by a water-body on the north and the east sides and serene combination of a hard and soft landscape on all the sides. The objective was to create a strong relationship between the presence of water and landscape in and around the design of the building. From the beginning, the main design principle driving the project was to give the waterfront and landscape view to the users and make the most use of it and was achieved by producing a series of drawings which are further refined and investigated.

_SPATIAL ORDER + STRUCTURAL ORDER The drawings of the ordering principles helped define the column grid and understand the hierarchy of the spaces within, which pointed out that the proposed columns in the original Plan of the restaurant were causing hindrance to the view, thus defeating the main design principle. Therefore, all the columns were offset from all the sides of the Plan, to avoid hindrance to the outside view from inside the restaurant, as can be seen in the Plan. Further refinement in the Plan was based on following the geometry and the grid.

The design involved in the restaurant space consisted of a cubical structure sitting on top of the water and garden. The vision was to create a space with thoroughly clean lines and very minimal embellishments. By preventing distractions of ornamentation within the restaurant, viewers can focus on the surrounding landscape and natural elements, including light water and wind. Geometry and Proportions were used to keep the structure simple and clean. The main shape is a square shared with two rectangles which, when divided, also has the same proportions similar to the geometry of the main square. Concrete, timber and glass were used in the structure. A solid wall is used at the rear of the building to maintain privacy to service areas, kitchen and utilities.

PERDOOR PLAZA Design of a Temple Complex

PROJECT TYPE

: URBAN RE-DEVELOPMENT

LOCATION

: PERDOOR, KARNATAKA INDIA

YEAR

: SPRING, 2013

AWARD

: BEST DESIGN PROJECT SEMESTER 6

It is commonly known as temple city, with an ancient temple of Lord Sri Ananthapadmanabha (LORD VISHNU) in the center of the village, which is known to be more than 1,000 years old. There is a sacred stepped water tank known as Pushkarani, within the premises of the temple. The temple is famous for an offering of 1001 bananas to the deity, by people on fulfillment of their wishes. Perdoor Sankranti festival, which occurs every month as per the Hindu calendar, is very famous and attracts thousands of people. The townhouses a rich temple heritage but fails to convey this image to its visitors. The temple square is crowded with small commercial shops, houses, bus stops etc. This spoils the temple vistas, thus deteriorating the heritage value of the town, failing to attract tourists to visit the place. To improve the quality of this heritage site, the temple square needs a face-lift. Using the heritage and culture of South Karnataka to redesign the place, would create a strong visual impact on the people, thus rendering the temple square noteworthy of its characteristics.

DESIGN OF A TEMPLE COMPLEX


BACHELOR’S PROJECT

_SITE DESCRIPTION Perdoor is a small village located in Udupi district, Karnataka with a total of 2248 families and has a population of 10,957 as per population census 2011. The existing scenario calls for the need to redesign the temple square. By proposing new commercial shops with more organized layout, restaurants, seating spaces, buffer zones and landscaping, we can strive for a better design.

_KEY PROGRAMS COMMERCIAL SPACE [ RETAIL / RESTAURANTS ] MAHADWARA - SHARED STREET PUBLIC PLAZA GREEN SPACE WATER BODY

}

_BASIC REQUIREMENTS, Entrance - Exits, Landscaping/Water Features, Installations and Art Kiosks, Seating Spaces, Street Furniture, Street Lighting, Paved Walking Spaces, Parking etc. These features sum up to the basic requirements of the design. Further addition of interactive features, informal seating spaces, buffer zones, restaurants will help to bring people together and thus collectively enhance the design.

_IDEA To use the Vernacular architecture of South India - that helps to keep the culture and heritage of the region in the mind of the people. By using traditional architecture, one can not only help to increase the experience of the visitor but also helps to retain the heritage value of the place. This also adds to the quality of the design, making it unique and aesthetically appealing.

EXISTING SITE

RE-DESIGN OF COMMERCIAL

The temple square was cluttered with small retail shops and vacant mini-blocks with settlements sprouting up across the streets on all the sides. There was a major clash in the foot traffic and vehicular traffic since the road abutting the site were the main road and lack of facility for pedestrians.

The temple square was cleared, and the commercial space was relocated and re-designed to create an ordered settlement

DESIGN OF A TEMPLE COMPLEX


BACHELOR’S PROJECT

_DESIGN CONCEPT In Hindu mythology, the traditional depiction of Lord Vishnu is that of him reclining on the coils of the serpent Shesha, accompanied by his consort, Lakshmi with left hand-hand holding a Padma (lotus flower) and right hand handing the Sudarshana Chakra and residing deep in the ocean. Water, Lotus and Sudarshan Chakras are believed to be Lord Vishnu’s enchanting elements. Since it was a Vishnu temple, a small scale Yamuna creek outside the temple and to enhance it Musical Lotus fountain, Rotating Sudarshan Chakras producing beautiful ripple effect and mini shrine structures reciting Vishnu’s various shlokas were created.

MAHADWARA / SHARED STREET Mahadwara’s are introduced on all sides to create a prominent entry to the temple and create a sense monumentality. The road abutting the temple on the east side was pedestrianized and changed to the shared street to ease the circulation of people from temple to the commercial zone and also for the Rath to carry out the necessary circumambulation during yatra without hindering the traffic and usual activities.

COLONNADED PLAZA / WATER BODY TEMPLE RENOVATION ~A green plaza was designed on the north-east side of the temple where people could gather in the evening/during the festival with its periphery marked by series of columns to provide a view of the plaza from the heavy vehicular traffic passing by. ~A waterbody (miniature Yamuna Creek ) with Musical Lotus fountain, Rotating Sudarshan Chakras and mini shrine structures were provided to engage the visitors and create interest. ~Temple premise was renovated, and additional aesthetic spaces were designed inside the premise.

_ROLE Worked under principal Architect Venkatesh Pai, Pailands Associates - Mangalore, throughout the project with the range of tasks involving Site Survey / Analysis - Area Programming - Design Concept - Presentation Drawings - 3d Visualization / Walkthrough Video - Quotations - Client Discussions - Working Drawings - Vendor Meetings

_BRIEF The project demanded a Residential villa with 7 Bedrooms, and the clients’ main requirement was to have traditional architecture and to retain the existing well and all the trees in the site since it was their ancestral property. Hence, the plan eventually evolved around the existing site conditions after various proposals and changes. TV

Laterite Masonry was used for the walls with plaster, and Mangalore tiles were used for roofing with wooden battens to give a traditional look. Exposed Masonry was used only on the top portion of the walls to a point were eaves projection could protect it from heavy rainfall conditions. Antique wooden columns were used at the entrance patio to achieve a complete vernacular appearance on arrival.
