VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE
Institution Studio 2022 SEMESTER V
BRIEF : The aim of the studio was to design a vocational training centre for the mentally challenged children from the age group of 5 to 18.
5
The concept behind designing these blocks to form a vocational training centre was to make it persuasive. I wanted it to be appealing to students as well as the people passing by.
Due to special education students’ wide range of needs, design resource rooms and self-contained special education classrooms not only to accommodate, but also to maximize each child’s potential.
These welcoming and inclusive rooms are accessible in a way that the layout enables teachers and professionals to access student areas easily.
The circulation is minimized to reduce the physical work of the students. The choice of material, lighting, ventilation and overall language of the building creates an appropriate environment for better learning.
All spaces are naturally lit and well ventilated, fire protected and well equipped keeping in mind the user group. The institute consist of classrooms, a library, kitchenet and dining area, multipurpose hall to accommodate all students and an outdoor play area.
The design offers exposure to a brief centered around “difference”, Difference in the requirements of the client, Difference in how you and the users will interact in this space and Difference in how the autistic and dyslexic minds will perceive and experience the built space.

NALUKETTU Material Studio 2021
SEMESTER III
BRIEF : The aim of the studio was to design a residence for a hypothetical family of three and an extened working + living space for a guest.
11
Kerala is known for its greenery , warm natives and delicacies. A typical huge house, designed to respond the climate of the state is called the NALUKETTU.
Following the research, the very appropriate material to construct a home for a Keralian family is Rammed Earth according to me.
The design is all about clutter free interior which stress largely on the traditional architecture and design native to the state.
Following the Vaastu Shashtra , the entry of the house is at the North. The roofing is one of the element that will definately catch your attention at once.
Since it is a zone of heavy rainfall, the roof of the house is pitched.
Clay tiles supported by sturdy wooden rafters have been used. They serve an important function of keeping the house cool and the roof pitch has been designed in such a manner that it helps in easy drainage of water off the roof.
There is a cental courtyard which also serves as a kund during the rain.It is also used for working , gathering and sometimes keeping small livestock.
An elevated walkway runs around the courtyard , connecting all the blocks and making it one.
The whole project has been designed at a pick of only the local materials that are available.

ARCHITECT’S ARENA WON ( Best students design Award )
BY ARCHMELLO
TEAM : Vrutangi Patel , Kshitij Wadhwa
BRIEF : The aim of the competition was to design a studio which is open for design dialogues , a studio that is innovative in terms of its architecture & interiors and a studio that is beyond glass cubicles & breaks the monotony of a conventional office.
19
The studio has been designed around the concept that architecture is not practiced in solitude, it is a product of collaborations and discussions.
As one traverses through the building, volumes vary from single and double heights spaces rising to triple heights bringing excitement and visual connectivity across all floors.
Thus, by providing a free and flexible structure and program inside the cube, it encourages dialogue and conversation creating what is in its truest sense, ARCHITECTURE.
The structure’s simplicity speaks of the rapid construction process while visually expressing the box’s ability to grow equally on all four sides .
The slender red door connects to the heart of the box.
Reflecting the project’s embedded potential for evolution, the exoskeleton also makes it slightly visible to the people outside and open-ended character of the studio, giving the end users the ability to shape and adapt the space over time.
Engaging with context doesn’t have to exclude the ability for them to think about design and construction differently, aiming to help move architecture forward.
And they seem to be proving that simplicity can become the greatest asset.

TEAM : Vrutangi Patel , Kshitij Wadhwa , Unnati Jajoo
BRIEF : To select a public place of heritage importance and suggest how a design intervention can help encourage public interactionand conversations , celebrating the 75 years of independence.
23
Our design for a public space in the Old city of Ahmedabad draws insipration and aims to celebrate the city and it’s heritage.
The design is centred around 3 Fibreglass panels celebrating the culture of Ahmedabad, 75 years to India’s Independence and the people. These panels are flanked by streams of water in the sandstone slab, these streams of water celebrate other important heritage sites of Gujarat and create a cool and calming sensation for user experience. A cool flame runs along the slit of the Sabarmati river, creating cold winds and a comfortable micro climate.
The panels and water help create an ever changing light and mood around the space creating oppurtunities for interaction. The built form does not dictate function, rather creates an open yet comfortable space for chance and planned encounters alike.
3 PANELS CELEBRATING -
1. THE CITY OF AHMEDABAD
Its history, culture, heritage and art.
2. THE PEOPLE
By creating cutouts in the panel, people are allowed to interact with it and it liveliness and excitement. It celebrates the people around the exhibit
3. 75 YEARS TO INDIA’S INDEPENDENCE
The last panel celebrates India’s independence by reflecting indian culture and values in motifs and patterns, educating and enlighting people.

BRIEF : To study and access the impact zone, and through this defining each end user type to re-eshtablish the significance of the impact zone and its existance.
27
The project mainly focuses around preserving the heritage of the heritage city, bringing back the essanece. The precinct is a thriving commercial spine with busting marketplaces.
The aim of our project was to find a fair and just solution to the issues of encroachment and delapitation of the monuments lost in the urban fabric of the city.
Preserving the structures while maintaing the culture and providing appropriate spaces for those re - allocated , all while trying to minimize the former.
Our design intervention makes use of the now ‘DEAD’ Stock Exchange building anf the spaces that are left abandoned.
The increasing encroachment , not only restricts vehicular movement but also puts other activities at a stake.
The plaza is proposed in a place that is mismanaged and used to unethically park two wheeler vehicles.
The proposed space allows public interaction and creates awareness about the significance of green spaces in the city.
28
The chosen site lies around one single axis, on which stands the JAMA MASJID , RAJA NO HAJIRO and RANI NO HAJIRO.
From the time of setting up of fish markets to the MANEK CHOWK market , the places get lively by the hour.
With this design proposal , we aim to create a green lung in the city , with minimum built intervention , creating a public plaza which becomes a place of rest in the hustle of the city during the day and an extension of the food markets of Manek Chowk in the night.
Maximum public impact with minimum built structures to conserve the heritage and architecture of the old city.
The old city faces an acute shortage of greenspace , this plaza aims to create the same along the busy street and serve a refreshing haven for all.
The plaza follows the direction of the two natural existing trees and eventually allowing the design to follow its natural course.
This represents an organic form of style , incorporating all the existing natural elements.
29
The primary site encapsulates RANI NO HAJIRO and THE OLD STOCK EXCHANGE BUILDING of Ahmedabad , which further expands into the RAJA NO HAJIRO and the JAMA MASJID.
