Reinvigorating the vernacular Vernacular// ANDC_National top 20

anghasani is a village in Jodhpur district of rajasthan, rich in varied cultural practices. One of the major being worship & preservation of native trees of the region (khejarli, peepal, etc.). The village also has numerous people indulged in various crafts like pottery and Meenakari. The earlier structures in the area were made out of regional materials like local quarried stones, mud, adobe and thatch, but with the advent of modern materials like cement concrete and burnt bricks the cultural habitat is compromised and the nature is degraded. The brief was to revitalize the vernacular techniques as well as the social production processes of the region through apt design and programme proposals.

SUBHAM MIDYA ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO - 2021

social production processes Social production processes is a product or a set of process arising from the experience of people in a community, collectively determining the conditions of their own habitat. Here there could be two very clear ways of operating. -Either we continue to the old traditions and social production processes as they’ve been. -Or else we understand the demand, blend and modify the old processes and recreate them so that they get a new identity to survive.

habitat analysis & documentation

The nadi talaab (pond) has lost its vitality, charm and character. Agriculture is a major social and economic process on our site, this underused pond, once rehabilitated could be a viable alternative or resource. These ponds are not just essential for the humans but are also a primary source of drinking water for the fauna. Streets can also be recognized as the veins of any village which connects to our neighborhood as well as all the basic ammonites present on the site. On this street lies a masjid, madrasa, mandir and a school. We included the street to be a part of the design process because it plates a platform for interaction for the users of our site. This street is already inculcated in the daily routine of the users as they sit and interact here throughout the day. The concept was to reach the maximum amount of people, so that the design gets more effective! Further an overall layout study of the area was done to come up with the justified location for our intervention.

habitat rejuvenation

site

Aligned centrally, nadi talaab(pond) intricately binds the three major communities at our site. If we trace out a historical background of the pond, it used to be the only source of water for the users of our site. A rural development centre is proposed adjoing the pond thus helping rejuvenate the community character of the area. Also since this programme provides support to the basic social production processes of the village, it will recieve ample footfall. The intent is to use the existing vernacular techniques in a modern way thus being an examplary model for the villagers to apply to their personal habitats i.e their homes and streets.

Video documentation of the village habitat was done besides interviewing the local residents and craftsmen. The discussion revealed the sources of the materials used to construct their traditional mud houses and also the reasons for them to shift to brick & RCC construction. They also mentioned the benefits of the ealier houses and how these were more connected. We also got insight to the nature. (click on the thumbnail above to explore more)

ulture is often confused with our practices of past. It rather refers to current, shared themes, beliefs and values of the society. It includes present practices, trends, as well as political and social beliefs. I experimented with the concept of “denial & reward” in this project to enrich passage of user through the built environment. Various levels have been incorporated in design and connected through various paths of travel. These varied spaces serve as multiple exxhibitions spaces. The design language has been kept modern keeping in mind the image of the “present”.

conceptualisation CONFLUENCE OF THE BASIC SHAPES the different strucutres of the cultural complex were derived from different basic shapes to createe contrast in the quality of volume created by each ( multipurpose halls from cubes and cuboids, the library & cafteria from a cylinder to ultimately form a tower like stucture etc.). Each of these elements were further implied at a micro level in each of these building in the form of fenestrations or facade details.

LEVELS & VISTAS Different parts of the programme are strategically placed at varied levels thus creating barrier where required as well as creating hierarchy of diferent spaces. Being a public place connectivity was a major challege in these multi-level spaces therefore ramps are extensively used in the design. The wave like forms and paths created by multiple ramps connecting to different spaces at different levels create multiple Vvisual vistas thus adding dynamism to experience at varied areas.

MULTI-FACETED EXHIBITION SPACES The different exhibition spaces in the complex have strategically been given contrasting characteristics, so as to host variety of functions within the same complex. Other than the general multipurpose exhibition halls, an open exhibition space with curved walls, a tunneled exhibition space, and vertica exhibition space along the rampways of the tower have been designed.

3D HERRINGBONE TESSELATION ROOFS The roof form of the multipurpose hall have a parametric design. The tesselation roof is madeup of composite tiles as well as glass and the form of the units further help in ventilation as well as illumination of the interior spaces in different months of the year and at different times of the day. This also forms different patterns of the sunlight at the floor in different times of the day.

THE FIBONACCI FACADE The curved wall around the tower is in a fibbonacci pattern. whilst the user moves through the circular ramp, he is able to view thesurroundings in breaks. The vertical breaks also let in light in an interesting pattern.

EXHIBITION T

The two main nodal points of the complex are the central seating and the mini OAT. All other functions and waythrough are planned surrounding these two spaces. Also these two spaces abutt the two entries to the complex, one to the general viitors entry one to the service and vip entry. Connecting these two spaces and the elements in between are the ramps at various levels. the tower has been placed at the south western edge to face the paddy fields. Both the exhibition halls face each other with the tunnel sliding in between beneath the ramp. Both of these are also connected by a ramp. The admin and the worshops are sepereated from the central public space to cut the noise.

Sections

The adjacent sections illustrate how the different functions placed at varied levels look towards each other and the central spaces. These multi-level connectiion helped achieve different views which will further diversify the overall experience of the complex. The tower placed at the south-west side of the site enjoys the views of the agricultural fields from a height. The interiors of the multipurpose exhibition halls also have levels to accomodate different spaces. The informal areas like the green sitting space and the mini OAT are sunken so as to facilitate shading from the surrounding structures as well give an enclosed feeling

was involved in this project as a trainee in Exubia Studio. The pandemic and the oline classes permitted me some time to add more productivity to my daily schedule, like working in an architectural office. The client of the project is a metal sculpture artict from Punjab, who worked in Chandigarh. He firmly wanted the facade to accentuate the Chandigarh minimalist design language. Also to personalise elements in metal were added to the facade. I worked upon facade conceptualisation & visualisation, working drawings, details and also was involved in client meetings & other interactions. Reference: Ar. Rachit Malhotra exubiastudio@gmail.com

learnings from the project This project was the first professional architectural venture I was involved in. While working in this project I was able to understand the importance of subtle details that I often used to ignore earlier in my projects from architecture college. Also, I came to know regarding the various byelaws of the city. Besides designing I was aslo involved in other aspects of this projects like client meetings, site inspections, and meetings with electricians, material vendors etc. wherein I interacted with different people involved in the project as well as observed the varied processes involved in the same, which emmensely helped me evolve my personality & practical knowledge as an Architect!

Miscellaneous

workshops, art commisions, freelance, Chandigarh lalit kala akademi

uring the past 4 years in architecture college, I’ve been involved in various work in & around the city of Chandigarh. Taking up freelance gigs and other art commisions have helped me develop my architectural as welll as artistic skills which I was further able to utilize in my academics as well as professional projects. I also participated in various workshops which helped me gain practical knowledge regarding the industry standards, techniques and different construction materials. Also, practicing alongside college has made me learn critical time management skills and work ethic. The following pages showcase some of my similar ventures in recent years.

Chandigarh seen/unseen Chandigarh is the first planned city of independent India, and its modern, brutalist aesthetics are a major characteristic. Within the grey concrete shades of the Chandigarh buildings what remains unseen is the diverse culture that the people bring with them to this city. The art installation depicts this thought with the help of little colourful elements “lego blocks”, which add colour to the grey column of the modernist city. The installation is displayed in the Govt. museum of Arts & Architecture, sector-10, Chandigarh.

tensile structure workshop Design methods, usage, details and construction process of modern day tensile structures was studied. After finalisation of design and analysing using small scale protoype models, final human scale structure was erected. The process involved bamboo carpentry, cutting and fixing of the polyester fabric to the stick structure and finally anchoring the stucture to the ground.

Rohtak shallow domes workshop Construction of shallow domes is a vernacular practice earlier prevalant in the region of Haryana and vicinity. Brick being cheaper than RCC, this method is quite economic and also has its own aesthetic charm. I learnt the process demostrated by the local artsians and hands-on construction of slabs/roofs in the form of shallow domes and vaults.
