Every space is an intricate play of geometries, voids and built mass, light and shadows, lines and curves. In my designs, I seek to orchestrate spaces that become a narrative and an experience for the user. Architecture goes beyond the need for shelter, throughout history, it has helped shape communities and cities and it is time to shape humanity once again. With learnings from the past and inspirations from nature, I believe my work can intervene and create change and aim to create structures that coexist with ecology. CONTACT

BENGAL EXHIBITION CENTER

DHANIYAKURIA,WEST BENGAL

YEAR: 2019-20 SEMESTER: 2

Dhanyakuria is a small village in west Bengal that once hosted great zamindars of Kolkata and today it hosts the remains of them in the form of great palaces inspired by the Britishers while showcasing our culture and traditions through their intricate motifs. As a way to draw attention to this hidden treasure, a visitor’s center is designed. The visitor’s center stands amidst the paddy fields as a symbol of the new to praise the old. The visitor’s center takes in a bit from the traditions and culture of dhanyakuria and portrays it in a contemporary way. It slowly unveils the past in a modern way. It stands as a contrasting precursor to those ancient monuments exhibiting the stories, arts, and artifacts. The visitor’s center is designed with a beautiful cafe with a splendid view of the sunset through the paddy fields.

CONCEPT

Basic geometry

The unit is split into to two and rotated to form the toilet blocks

Chamfering

Final Module

Fractals - a complex geometry formed from a multitude of singular elements is the underlying concept behind this project. Triangle is chosen as the basic geometry as it has a lot of religious significance and can be seen in sacred patterns drawn for the goddess Durga. This pattern is further chamfered and refined to attain the final unit. This geometry is expanded in a maze-like fashion to create the exhibition center so as to make the visitor feel trapped amidst the richness of dhanyakuria.

For the roof of the cafe, the element was taken and further refined to create beautiful lighting and interesting sciography.

Different scales are used to create more interesting space. The unit is chamfered to create a more suited and efficient space.

SELECTED WORKS 2019-22 YASHASHVI RAI 08

This complex geometry formed by many triangular pieces has an interesting play of light and shadow incorporated into it. Specifically, the exhibit space is designed as such the play of sunlight through multiple slivers on the roof creates an artwork of its own and adds beauty to the pieces displayed. The reception space spills out to an open cafe shaded by a series of intricately designed roof forms overlooking the fields. The space gets a spectacular view of the sunset and this beautiful scenery is taken into the exhibition space through some fenestration on the western wall.

HOUSE EXTENTION

LAKHIMPUR-KHERI, U.P.

YEAR: 2020-21 SEMESTER: 3

Built on a small area of 40sqm, this is designed to be an extension of a home. The idea was to encompass all the requirements to fulfill one’s needs and aspirations. The structure had to be simple and efficient. After a lot of anthropometric and ergonomic studies, innovative spaces were designed to suit various functions. Throughout the whole project, there is an underlying hierarchy to the spatial arrangement. Simple geometrical volumes were taken and different compositions were considered to create the best spatial experience. Lighting is an important part of the entire project. The design is well thought through in terms of daylighting and effective artificial lighting. The element sunlight pours into the structure through the morning and a warm glow pours out of the structure through the night.

CONCEPT

The design conceptualization was done by exploring and experimenting with a cuboidal space. Taking that typical, efficient easy to construct volume and adding interest to it through splitting those volumes and adding diagonals.

The design is pivoted at the core which is located at the back and spreads at the front. There is a sense of symmetry in the structure. There is also some play happening with the angle and the tilt of roofs to add more interest to the spaces.

MEDICAL COLLEGE

KATHMANDU, NEPAL

YEAR: 2021-22

SEMESTER: 5-6

The goal of this project was to construct an end milling super specialty medical institution in Kathmandu, Nepal, that not only fosters a supportive learning atmosphere for students to share information but also upholds environmental responsibility by becoming a net-zero energy and water building. The medical college is situated on a steep, south-facing slope as part of a broader construction project. The area is vulnerable to monsoon flooding and earthquakes (seismic zone V). In order to provide the students with a secure environment and a resilient structure with effective thermal comfort, we set out to build. Our construction was oriented toward the sun above and the curves below as the first step in the design solutions. The envelope was improved to better meet lighting needs and reduce heating load. Energy use was lowered in equipment, lighting, heating and cooling, and other areas, which resulted in a 45% decrease in our EPI.

CONCEPT

PASSIVE STRATEGY FOR WINTERS

The atrium’s vents are sealed off during the winter. The atrium is less shadowed and allows in more direct solar radiation, which heats the air inside and supplies it to different indoor rooms, boosting the IOT and lowering the need for fresh air exchanges only during the winter.

PASSIVE STRATEGY IN SUMMERS

The top of the atrium’s vents is opened during the summer, when the southern glass facade is well-shaded. In doing so, the hot air is made to rise and exit, allowing colder air to enter the interior spaces. These techniques can control the maximum temperature of 31.9°C even with ceiling fans.

CFD- PASSIVE STRATEGY IN SUMMERS

The passive technique operates based on the stack effect in the summer and solar heat gain in the winter. The temperature is maintained at 29.17°C in the occupied areas, while the escaping air is at a temperature of 31.98°C, as shown by the CFD, which also clearly demonstrates how the outdoor cool air enters the building through the windows, heats up, escapes into the corridor space, and is exhausted through the vents on top.

VISUAL COMFORT-DAYLIGHTING

The structure receives useful daylight illumination of greater than 100 lux and less than 2000 lux for more than 60% of its floor surface for 90% of the year (SuperECBC). This optimization was carried out by means of a procedure. The ideal window wall ratio was initially established by comparing heat loss and lighting needs. The shade equipment was then created to lessen glare. The inside finishes were carefully chosen to enable for light reflection. To accommodate the room’s need for light, shading mechanisms were uniquely designed for each location. The daylighting for the research facility below demonstrates the excessive lux level near the window, which after shading has produced superior lighting, which makes the light inaccessible.

SELECTED WORKS 2019-22

THERMAL COMFORT

The Indian model of adaptable comfort is applied to the design. The interior operating temperature in this model changes in reaction to the local external conditions. Since our structure falls within the mixed-mode category, the IoT is determined using the formula- The 30-day running mean air temperature is used to calculate the outdoor temperature. 90% of the population considers a range of 3.46 C to be comfortable, according to this IOT. Each year, the conditions are separated into two categories that require attention. Additional filters are added, and the fresh air supply in the laboratory is kept up mechanically throughout the year. While a DOAS system is employed in the remainder of the building during the winter months so that the fresh air requirement is only met manually. The incoming air that needs to be provided is heated using a heating coil.

IOT = (0.28 x external temperature) + 17.87.

COMPETITION: HONOURABLE MENTION

It’s the year 2400, a time when the entire world is in collapse with no hope on the horizon, humanity still thrives by tackling the endless challenges thrown at us by becoming more innovative and experimental. Resilient is one such example of an unconventional market space that was developed keeping in mind the fluctuations of the time, thus it is a modular, easy-to-build market unit comprising three shopping units with separate storage units which can be docked while the market is being visited and can be latched to the shopping unit and taken away to load and unload the goods at a local hub. This mechanism provides flexibility in orientation while ensuring the safety of its goods as the pods are elevated up to 20 meters above the sea level, sufficient enough to tackle the periodic sea waves.

The structure is rooted in sturdy concrete based upon which is the most integral source of energy generation sits (Hydroelectric power generator). the floating deck and the docking stations are anchored to the central base. There is another green energy generation source in each module which is the solar photovoltaic panels cladded on a spire. To this spire a multitude of storage pods are attached which can store the energy when generated and consumed it whenever required.

WORKING DRAWINGS

YEAR: 2019-22

Through the course of 7 semesters, we have learned how to produce detailed working drawings. From basements to small details such as window fixing or expansion joints have been a part of our curriculum. I am efficient with my AutoCAD skills and am well-versed in common construction practices, be it waterproofing the basements or creating a terrace garden. Apart from drafting and learning about construction other major part of working drawings are line weights line types and continuous dimensioning, appropriate labeling. I have been taught to create working drawings that are good for construction with the schedules and all other information required which has been scrutinized by four practicing faculty with a long working experience.

MEASURED DRAWINGS

YEAR: 2019-20 SEMESTER: 2

The measured drawing was done in the small town of Dhanyakuria, a little to the west of Kolkata. This small town is filled with lavish mansions which sport the finest medieval European architecture. They have decked with pointing towers, square turrets, spindly spires, and stepped gables with beautiful gardens and ponds. This measured drawing is of the Gaine bari.

The Gaine Bari mansion belonged to one of the eight Zamindar family of Dhanyakuria and it was one of the largest residential mansions in the village. The residence has a huge front garden with gazebos and fountains. The complete structure was made of brick with intricate stucco work.

MISCELLANEOUS

YEAR: 2019-22

I am greatly drawn to surrealistic art and cars and a lot of my work showcases that. I have explored different mediums to express my creativity starting from doodling with pen or pencils, and watercolors, or creating models in various software like blender 3d, rhino and rendering them to creating conceptual art pieces. I have been exploring the world of digital illustrations starting from sketching in photoshop to creating vector illustrations in illustrator. Even as a part of my internship at the graphic design studio I worked primarily on illustrator to create different creatives for companies learning how to play with typography, colors, and lines. This experience has greatly helped me improve my architectural visualization skills.
