2017 PORTFOLIO Selected works by Yashima Jain
Curriculum Vitae About My passion for architecture grew from an early age,
with my real appetite for building sustainability, evolving in the last three years. I believe that sustainability is at the center of an important movement concerning the whole construction industry, and architects have a major role to play in this field. In 5 years of studying and practicing architecture, my ideologies have changed from an idealistic approach to a practical and a responsive one. In my spare time, I like to travel, and am fascinated by different cultures, traditions and landscapes. In enjoy photographing memories along the way.

Project Concept:
The design concept has been evolved from “telescope�, creating interesting viewports in the building by borrowing views from its milieu. Pulling in some exteriors to the interior, the residence does have some interaction with it. The massing of this building is just about stacking a couple of boxes on the two counterparts below, in a really exquisite manner, with deliberately subtracted punctures in it. The residence is fully lit by natural light with sufficient openings. The central courtyard is alluringly lit by irregular openings. These irregular openings follow a pattern inspired from the abstract form of mountains. This pattern is followed in the walls of the building too. The interiors kept minimalistic, with interesting usage of the boxes adopted from the exteriors. In the interesting manner colors go with each

other enhances the minimalism followed through out. Visual connectivity is meticulously established with vital usage of glass. For instance, kitchen, dining, and living areas are visually connected with the informal living and bar counter in the basement floor. This fuses different spaces of this residence and makes it more and more extroverted in nature. The landscaped outdoor seating area, resembling the mountains in its background, has earth mounds with an informal seating in a tree shade. Along its side it has a covered space with a traditional swing in it. Above the swing there is a car park in the ground floor level, creating a tunnel effect in the wind from south west to the six and a half feet clear swing area.

The site for the proposed International Convention and Exhibition Center is located in sector 24, Dwarka phase II, Delhi. It lies along a 100m wide right of way road connecting Dwarka tothe NH8 via the airport. The proposed site is also in proximity to
<academic>
the international airport. On one side is a 130 acre green area abuts the site which is proposed to be developed as a golf course by the Delhi Development Authority. Around 250m from the site is the Najafgarh Drain. The site is also abutting a 30m wide sector road, connecting the site to M.P. Greens. The idea of international convention centre has been derived from the present scenario of rapid growth of innovation, technology, art and cultures. Convention centers serve to provide a location for meetings, conventions, trade shows, public shows, the arts, and local interests.

Indian High Commission Seychelles Seychelles is an archipelago and country in the Indian Ocean. The site for the Indian Commission is located in Victoria covering a site area of 3299.80 sqm. The chancery and residential zones have been designed independent of each other, with their own separate access. The cultural centre and recreation facilities are placed adjoining the landscaped garden for easy access from both the zones. Due considerations have been given to the profile and terrain of the land and hence, the buildings have been located accordingly. Instead

of fragmented buildings which would consume the entire site, the urban form defines an organised layout maintaining coherent relationship. The spaces have been designed to have ample natural light and ventilation. An atrium has been created in the center of chancery. Besides providing space for future expansion, the design is based on a modular structural grid which is flexible enough to incorporate changes if and as required. The layout emphasizes privacy of the residences from the chancery building.

Torana Gate Malaysia Inaugrated by Honâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ble PM Narendra Modi, the Torana is a gift to mark the close relationship between the two countries. Torana is an elaborate gateway, usually in Buddhist, Hindu and Jain traditions, defining the entrance to a shrine, stupa or temple. Such gateways are one of the remarkable specimens of Indian art and architecture. The Torana Gate in Kuala Lumpur has been designed on the model and proportions of the Torana Gates at the Great Sanchi Stupa.
<professional> The design here in Kuala Lumpur merges two Torana Gates with a ceiling comprising 24 carved stone panels, thereby creating a pavilion. The total height, is 10.4 meters and width at its maximum point is 7.3 meters. Each facet of the Gate has been adorned with motifs and carvings, in buff-colored sandstone panels from India. The artwork has been sensitively designed to convey rhythm, symmetry & decorative beauty, while remaining a timeless reminder of Indian craftsmanship.
Site Plan The carvings at the Torana Gates around the Great Stupa of Sanchi depict the Jatakas of Gautama Buddha. Jatakas are stories of the previous birth of Gautam Buddha, who is believed to have past innumerable existences, in both human and animal forms, persistently qualifying himself for Buddha-hood. The reliefs on the Torana Gate at Kuala Lumpur, though broadly derived from the carvings at the Torana Gates of Sanchi, are yet different and intended to

portray Indian art in a contemporary manner, adapted to suit the locational context. The paved area around the Torana gate, up to the piazza around existing fountain, consists of flamed finished granite stone panels, patterned with bands of polished granite stone. The pedestrian spine along the central axis is designed with a variety of geometrical â&#x20AC;&#x153;motifsâ&#x20AC;? in varied shades of granites.

Site Plan The site has a total area of 5283.17 sq.m. with a steep downward slope of about 8.0 m from northeast towards south-west. Zoning of various functions has been planned according to their significance and accessibility . The chancery and the cultural centre, while grouped together, function independently. Residences have been designed with their independent entry.
Instead of fragmented buildings, the urban form defines an organized layout maintaining coherent relationship with each other. Activities of intense public movement are kept at lower levels. The chancery offices are provided at upper floors with access control. Consular section and I.W.R.C. have been planned in a manner so that they are accessible from public zone as well as from chancery, with controlled access.
