Wet Market Academic - The Modular Market, 2020 Guide: Dr. D. Kannamma Site: ∞

Brief Abutting most water bodies in India, parallel roads run along the banks, harboring several fisherman communities that rely on the trade of fish along with other livestock for sustenance. The brief here was to design a wet market in one such zone.

Design Goals •

To propose a modular market that stakeholders

can

inexpensively

assemble within a week •

To produce an open design that can support the drainage and waste management

needs

on-site

hygienic manner without hindering customer and vehicle movement. •

To keep the complex accessible, so it may safely be used as an open plaza during off-hours without any scope for misuse.

Focal Elements To keep construction costs at a minimum, with a simple assembly mechanism so that local labor may be employed during the assembly of a stall while also keeping the plan modular so that multiple complexes may be built in a row while also facilitating efficient movement from point A to point B.

The seller, with help usually from his eldest children, cuts up their stock and processes them before leaving for school, after which the seller proceeds to spend the rest of the day at the market

In any Indian wet market stall, waste management is poor. At the same time, the design's closed nature prevents air circulation and makes the entire market a breeding ground for viruses and diseases. Coincidentally, this concept was put forward right before the pandemic, with the key focus of the design being to integrate efficient waste management and drainage system

With prefabrication at the heart of this design, there is scope for providing simple, efficient, and integrated measures to manage waste and runoff water, while the open nature of the design keeps air from recirculating in the region, keeping the market fresh and free of foul odors

Elementary School Academic - "Camelot Kids", 2021 Guide: Dr. D. Kannamma Site: Tiruchirappalli

Brief Tiruchirappalli is India's 57th largest city, is rapidly expanding at a rate never seen before,

and

requires

state-of-the-art

infrastructure to keep up. The requirement here was to design a school that reflects the values of the future while also turning into a status symbol of the progressive nature of the ever-expanding city.

Design Goals •

To create spaces that can seamlessly integrate themselves into the day-today needs of children.

•

To make students familiar with the spaces by using toys as mental tools. The uniqueness of design language aimed to pull students in, being an iconoclast

conventional

school

architecture and their tendency to repel students.

Focal Elements To mirror the shapes that children would be familiar with, the planning grid and treatment of surfaces were made to match the Lego brick while efficiently integrating solutions to daylighting and ventilation slabs.

Music Room (3x4) The facade aims to create a welcoming atmosphere by integrating play areas and multiple decks with a portion outwards, with visibility towards the drop-off zone. With this, children can attract their friends and wait for their guardians to pick them up while keeping watch from these decks.

The rear side of the site contains the service entry, which branches out of a dead-end and connects to the cafeteria. The dining zone here is organized under the play area. It borders a Miyawaki forest, providing an abundance of pleasant views while seamlessly integrating core educational zones with the eatery. This layout motivates children to eat outdoors, preventing odor build-p within a classroom.

The staggered design language and vibrant color palette aim to separate zones externally, creating a playful school that doesn't follow a mature and monotonous layout in transitional spaces. As the school primarily functions during the day, the design is oriented towards relying on natural light as much as possible. This approach is taken to save energy and provide students with a sensation of being closer to nature by decreasing their dependency on artificial light.

On a planning level, the design takes playfulness in the literal sense by integrating a multi-purpose space in the center of the school to keep the school lively at all times. A buffer layer of walls is provided outside each classroom to prevent too much noise from entering the classrooms. Moreover, a network of upstanding beams supports the concrete canopy to give the illusion that it is floating while it casts interesting shadows on the court below to create interest.

Mixed-Use Hub Academic - "The Georgetown Handicrafts Revival Center", 2022 Guide: Dr. K. Thirumaran Site: Chennai

Brief Georgetown, formerly "Black Town", in Chennai, used to be a stronghold of British power in India. Post-Independence, the area has been heavily commercialized and has grown in an organic manner. The design followed an urban study on-site, after which a mixed-use hub was to be designed, that would cater to the needs of both, the present, and the future

Design Goal •

To bring meaning to a building while also making spaces more affordable, by taking advantage of the economic landscape of the region while also addressing site-specific needs.

•

To bring attention to and to support local businesses that have been there for ages, and are facing a mass exodus due to a post-pandemic setting, coupled with internal and international affairs

Focal Elements To ensure that handicraft-makers are not exploited, while also bringing attention to the dying art, the facade involves an interplay of concrete tiles with lasercut MDF boards that mimic the finesse of handicrafts, with conventional plaster finishes, that follow functional needs of the spaces in the building

Regions around the site were formally residential, with commercial establishments usually specific to the needs of locals and Sri Lankan tourists who visit the place. However, the area has seen a steady decline in sales after the pandemic and in the aftermath of the Sri Lankan protests. It has led to local small businesses closing their shop, giving way to the evergreen industrial goods and supplies industry.

H nity

Ideal Architectural Program on-site

m Co

Most commercial traffic and footfall on-site comes from its western portion due to the presence of Broadway street and the nearest metro station. At the same time, the southern road abutting the site has been wholly pedestrianized due to the presence of a school. Due to this, there is abnormal traffic on the northern road, especially around typical work hours

c Offi

Most buildings around the site are highly commercialized, averaging at the height of around 15 to 20 meters, which calls for either commercialization of the first few levels or increasing the importance of privacy for residences.

The ideal orientation for any building in Chennai for maximum thermal comfort would be at a 10-degree offset along the NS axis, while we may take the southern and eastern winds on-site advantage Three shopping avenues run perpendicular to the site and have direct site Moreover, a sciographic study of the site revealed that the ground visibility. These avenues also see heavy traffic due to the loading and unloading level on the eastern portion was shaded more often than not by the While the site and regions around it are busy throughout the day, the area turns into of industrial goods, thereby increasing the flow of pollutants towards the south, buildings around it. a ghost town during off-hours, which makes the area an ideal breeding ground for following the prevailing wind direction in Chennai. antisocial activities

Offices: Breaking the brief into three squares, growing around the needs of modern retail /commercial spaces

Residences: Employing mechanical ventilation to maximize daylighting and enhance quality of life, while also introducing a stackable module for apartments

Honesty to materials: Leaving exposed concrete finishes and cladding these portions with MDF boards that follow a contemporary pattern of "Jalis", or "Brise Soleils", which have been a dominant element of architecture around the site

Pri vat e Pu blic

Light as an attractor: Following the previous element, should these boards cover french windows, they serve as visual barriers for enhanced privacy, but will also cast interesting patterns and light shows for pedestrians at the ground level, and may attract potential customers

Green Spaces as Carbon Sinks: With increasing paved areas, residents have complained about the effects of UHIE, which may be mitigated with the integration of a public plaza that can also support existing activities on-site, while supporting greenery that may act as a carbon sink in the region

Key concepts in play

S to r a g e

Vie ws

The Human Scale: Humans tend not to look beyond 3 to 4 floors, and this visual cone needs to be considered while designing the form of the building, while the entire building would fall in the view-shed of pedestrians who are away from the building and far away, due to its massive scale

Economic aspects of a building: Typical real-estate trends dictate that higher floors can generate more revenue, due to the abundance of views and general exclusion from the ground. Taking advantage of this may make affordable housing possible within this project

Bleachers as a nodal element: Similar to what is seen on Times Square, an element functionally similar to bleachers may serve as a vital node in a large shopping district where it is easy to get lost. Moreover, it may also be integrated with a food court to be functioning throughout the night, which would further vitalize the area during off-hours and reduce crime

Cascading Walkways on south side to provide views of the city Projections on facade to reduce facade heat gain Bulkier base and staggered upper portion to give the illusion that the building has been chiseled as it rises, exposing materials

After joining the design team for this project, I quickly suggested using brick jalis as an easy and affordable design element for the building to give it character. The finalized design involved the heavy usage of this element (with the options being listed here) and the use of Kota Stone for tiles and Terrazzo tiles within the central passage to create a visual guide up until the main deck.

Grandparents’ Home, Gobichettipalayam Familial Residence Freelance, June - July 2023

Context A final home for my grandparents, who wished to return to their native town after 60+ years Heavily drawn from familial values and the specific needs of the users, the design intends to embody the idea of a “dream house” for them, in the 21st century

Role Grandson, Architect

Takeaway Explored the challenges faced by a modern day architect in rural India, and the roles that the clients upbringing plays on their perspective on architecture

The design is thoughtfully tailored to cater to the specific requirements of the users, aligning with their desire for companionship in their advanced age, while discreetly promoting a risk-averse approach to home maintenance, fostering dependence on younger individuals. Furthermore, the design draws inspiration from the individuals’ formative experiences during the post-independence era, characterized by a more uncomplicated way of life. Additionally, the spatial layout adheres to the principles of Vastu-kala, an ancient Indian method of residential planning akin to Feng-Shui. While it may face contemporary criticism, the older generation exhibits a preference for adhering to these traditional guidelines when constructing their homes, prioritizing a conservative and secure approach.

The site was located in Bagdogra, West Bengal, a hill station. This context called for a highly climateresponsive design that would also be the rare occasion where the aerial view of a building should be considered, for the form conceptualized would have had to be a welcome sight for passengers arriving in Bagdogra. With context, climate, and the need for an aesthetically appealing form, the design was molded by the local environment and culture while bringing the most modern ideas concerning sustainability to the table.

Essentially a large-scale residential complex, this design took on a different approach towards sustainability - that by design. The key focus here was to prioritize daylighting and energy-saving practices per unit, which would reduce costs by a considerable margin when considering the overall savings on site.

300 lux

To achieve this, Indian Standard IS: SP 41 was followed to find the correct limiting depth, shading device specification, and room dimensions to ensure adequate levels of task-specific lighting per room, for 75% of carpet area, through at least 50% of the year. We combined these dimensions with several other passive design strategies to reduce the site's energy load. Furthermore, reducing the embodied energy of the building was another priority, a step taken to achieve sustainability by design. For this, straw bale prefabricated panels were chosen as the primary material to be combined with precast hempcrete columns that would stack on a concrete lattice. 150 lux

An effort was also made to make the spaces more livable with the introduction of recreational voids within the massing, which would also reduce the need to reinforce the columns against shear loads by reducing the wind shear load on the columns, especially at higher levels.

An apocalyptic event has broken down society as we know it and has left humans with an ultimatum of starting over or dying out. They have lost the ability to communicate their ideas and pass on knowledge. Can they convert this into a utopian paradise, or are they doomed to fall back into a global dystopian loop without an apparent escape and let history repeat itself? Were they genuinely left with nothing, or can the past pave the way to the future? What kind of legacy would the ones who came before leave behind?

Rapid urbanization in developing countries has residential units suffering from inadequate daylighting and inefficient space utilization. As technology advances, buildings are more likely to be mass-manufactured using various prefabrication techniques and modular principles. The conventional strategy mainly prioritizes building services and market economics resulting in light-intensive spaces getting locked into the unit at the cost of visual comfort. This approach also increases energy demand due to poorly lit rooms. This research intends to mix syntactic design strategies while using relevant daylighting standards as a basis for design. This method makes it easier to filter out desirable plans, from a generated sample set. It involves employing the space syntax theory by using tools like Rhino, Grasshopper, and Syntactic, among other software plug-ins, to generate layouts while integrating daylighting norms, functionality, modularity, and user preference into the process. In this approach, several configurations can be generated by adding, joining and moving spaces according to their proximity to neighboring areas and spatial needs. For this study, a tropical Indian context is taken, with the spatial requirements of an average dwelling unit in an apartment as the reference scheme. Being wholly automated and flexible allows for the accommodation of plan changes without redesigning the layout manually. This method provides the end-user with options filtered out to optimize functionality and visual comfort. With enhanced modularity and customization of units plans, end-users would select their apartment unit configuration. Future residents of highdensity living areas would have better-daylit options to pick from based on their requirements and liking.

Abstract. Envelope materials, especially in developing countries, are often selected with little consideration towards building performance in favour of economy, and design language, which often results in poor thermal performance. Furthermore, factors like the building envelope's orientation are not considered when choosing an envelope material. This research examines the thermal performance of common envelope materials, such as bricks, fly ash bricks, and aluminium composite panels as cladding, in an educational campus in Tiruchirappalli, India. Heat flow rate (Q) is a crucial parameter for assessing the thermal performance of a building, especially in warm and humid climates. This is typically calculated by measuring the temperature difference between the exterior and interior surfaces and calculating the transmittance value (U-value), as per ISO:6946. This study uses an Infrared thermography camera (IRT), a non-destructive test based on radiant thermal energy distribution emitted from an object's surface, to calculate the heat flow rate. Filed measurements were taken in three buildings with building envelope materials such as bricks, fly ash bricks, and aluminium composite panels three times. a day using IRT and psychrometer on both interior and exterior sides. This research evaluates the performance of materials regarding heat transfer, using the IRT method, for different materials and orientations of the building envelope. The most efficient material for various orientations in this context is identified through this method. This research will further guide future architects and engineers in selecting appropriate building envelope materials that are commonly available and thermally efficient. Keywords.

The construction industry has been in a state of flux ever since the industrial revolution, with new materials being experimented with worldwide, with leaps and bounds in innovation pioneered by all parties invested in the field, from universities to corporate conglomerates. These innovations may be observed in a lot of long-standing neighbourhoods or campuses, wherein buildings of different materials and styles may be located in close vicinity of each other as the region, along with the local construction market, evolves through time.

facility, taking into account variables impacting thermal and visual comfort. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the prevalence of SBS in this setting, user surveys were employed to corroborate the collected data.

However, a side effect of these innovations is the lack of research and attention to these developments prior to applying these materials in any specific context. Costs of materials are usually subject to markets, resulting in changes in rates all over the world. The effects of this complacency are often felt the most in tropical regions that seldom have comfortable hours. Buildings in these regions do not have the same versatility in materials that buildings in temperate zones do, as the nature of the materials used

Email: vijay.aadithya.gr@gmail.com, gracedlion5500@gmail.com, farihashawlin98@gmail.com, kaushik@nitt.edu Abstract. The design of educational buildings is often guided by the number of users and the type of education to be imparted. The nature of usage and quality of these spaces is vital due to the well-documented relationship between the built environment and its effects on their users regarding physical and mental wellbeing. This relationship has been quantified in prominent studies like Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). SBS is a situation in which occupants of a building experience acute health or comfort-related effects that are directly linked to time spent in a building and have often been associated with thermal and visual comfort and indoor air quality. This paper intends to assess this relationship in real-time, involving a quantitative and qualitative analysis driven by data and field measurements and supported by surveys, to identify symptoms of SBS based on physical, physiological, and climatic parameters which delve into SBS and thermal discomfort. This study involves the calculation of Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), a widely accepted indoor thermal comfort index, through the measurement of variables such as ambient air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed, and also analyses visual comfort through the measurement of lux levels by in-point illuminance method, while also comparing measured carbon dioxide (CO2) levels with presentday standards to examine how existing configurations and building design of educational spaces work and how they enhance or inhibit the performance of their primary users during principal hours of usage.

Figure 4: Graphs showing the change in heat flow for various materials over time across different orientations. 4. Inferences From the surveys conducted over three-hour intervals, the heat flow was estimated based on each wall's internal and external temperatures over each orientation. The above observations showed that the heat s flow changes over different orientations due to the immediate context around the wall. In the case of brick walls surrounded by green cover, the north side exhibited a general decline throughout the day, and the easter side followed a similar trend, peaking during the afternoon. In contrast, the southern and western sides exhibited a gradual increase in heat flow, most prominent between afternoon and evening hours. When combined with ACP cladding and a hardscape surrounding, a general upward trend was detectable, despite the geometry of the building providing for shaded sides on the envelope. In contrast, when considering fly ash bricks, heat flow remained relatively low on the northern and eastern sides, with the western side showing a steady increase in heat flow, despite the softscape around it. On the other hand, the south side exhibited increased heat flow until past noon, drastically decreasing the value towards the evening.

Introduction

Architecture in its purest form has been defined by many as the relationship between users and their built environment. One of the best examples of this relationship is in the case of educational buildings, where the quality of the space is often of tantamount importance to the amount of knowledge gained by pupils.(Hu J, 2022) The quality of a space may be defined regarding its adherence to existing comfort standards and its ability to provide users with an adequate level of thermal comfort, failure of which lead to adverse effects like that of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Numerous studies have been conducted in this domain that link symptoms of SBS to thermal comfort, daylighting, and indoor air quality (IAQ)(Thach T, 2019).

4. Inferences

Based on the noted observations, it can be concluded that the majority of participants did not experience thermal stress, despite the PMV value for their conditions exceeding the exceeding the accepted comfort band as per international standard. This can be attributed to the greater adaptability often seen among individuals residing in tropical climates. It's important to note that this study was conducted during the month of February, which typically has cooler temperatures compared to the rest of the year. However, the existence of a relationship between IAQ and symptoms of SBS was hinted at, with the overall

The National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, was founded in 1962 and by 2018, several regions could not cater to the increased student population and various nodes that promoted misuse and abuse of infrastructure, while the existing urban design hindered the users and visitors on campus. These issues created a severe need for urban interventions to fix existing issues while also setting standards for the future expansion of the college.

In its initial phase, this initiative involved manual documentation, surveying buildings across an 800-acre campus, and updating the campus map.

Aim To understand the needs of users on campus and propose retrofit of misused spaces, while also providing a road-map for campus development in the future

After this phase, before the pandemic, the project involved identifying and executing proposals for urban design interventions on campus, of which one was fully implemented. The pandemic went on to upend the entire system in which the spaces on campus were being used, the waning phases of which coincided with my final year in college.

As the team leads now, we went on to fast-track the ideation and implementation of urban inserts on campus that would heal its punctured and out fabric. The first phase involved extensive surveying and documentation of campus facilities to present a report to the administration that points out all the failed or problematic nodes. The second phase involved multiple proposals, ranging from retrofit measures to fix or reuse existing infrastructures to complete remapping of land use and new buildings on campus, all of which were directly mentored by Dr. Gopalakrishnan. This process was fast-tracked with the setting up of a committee in October to address the specific needs of female students on campus. Interventions in this regard were aimed at not only implementing gender equality by design but also enhancing the safety of women on campus.

In Architecture contemporary life, the “cave” can symbolize the limited perspectives and echo chambers fostered by social media, biased news, and OAN 2021, Nat'l Assn. of Students of narrow worldviews. People often remain chained to screens, seeing only digital “shadows” of reality, unaware of broader truths.

Plato’s allegory encourages us to break free from these constraints, seek deeper knowledge, and question our assumptions, emphasizing the enduring importance of critical thinking and intellectual exploration in our modern, information-saturated society.

This design presents a radical take on the “breezeblock” as blocks that aren’t supposed to stand logically - similar to the song’s irony.

The design presents an architectural take on the cave, with an actual phone replacing the shadows of Plato’s era. Human figures that are tiny compared to a handheld device intend to represent the impact that said device has had in our everday lives, while we (1:1 scale humans) are both the oppressors and the oppressed. In inward view into the model where the fourth wall has been removed, shows us the screen and the passage the entertainers take, above the prisoners inside.
