YA S H .V. I N T WA L A
Based in Ahemdabad, graduated from Sal School Of Architecture, in year 2019. Within passing years of architecture in school there were many things which got me influenced such as the work of architects like Mies Van De Rohe and Louis Kahn. I like to work with two colors ie black and white as they tent to blend with my design philosophies. I am good at Photoshop, Indesign and Sketchup. I also take interest in reading and learning the historical architecture and try to blend the past and modern design philosophy in my design. I am looking forward to work as a prossional architect in an architecture firm.

01 HOUSING PROPOSAL FOR GIFT CITY SEM IX GROUP MEMBERS : Yash Intwala and Vrushi Shah
PROJECT OVERVIEW The project is a proposal of housing for the on-going smart city project “GIFT City�. The major idea was to design a housing which would be more suitable in the Indian context with larger amount of spaces which act as communal spaces where the people of different age groups would share the space among other. The open and the communal spaces which acts in the form of streets, terrace gardens etc were design at the intial stage and the built was designed at the later stage of the project.

SITE
INTRODUCTION
Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) is a business district promoted by the Government of Gujarat. It is located 12km from Ahemdabad’s international airport. The proposed site includes residential blocks. It will include the existing metro rail corridor and the main access road. It will also include residence and recreational areas and different typologies for residence. Proposed Site

CONCEPT Here is the collage of the diffrennt street of the world. It includes the streets of pols of Ahemdabad, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and many more. In below collage the different pattern has been abstracted which helps in genratesthe different anotomy of the streets. which includes the different open spaces and many more which responds to the water. The method of abstraction of form from a collage not just only works on plan but it also works on the typology.

STRATEGIES BASEMENT CUTOUTS
LARGE OPENINGS
The trees come out through the basement to the upper level . The large cut-outs allows to inject large amount of light inside the basement.
STRATEGIES GREENS
PEDESTRIANIZATION Through staking the typologies the design generates a multipilcation of horizontal surfaces populated by extensive roof and terrace gardens and the spaces between two typologies acts as communal space. The ideas of communal life is emphazised through an extensive network of open and green spaces.
The idea of giving the cycle path and stations was to make a living space solely pedestrianized. The cycle stations are provided to travel from one place to other. People walk through the streets and can get involve in each activity on the streets. The streets also gets open to the river edge.

02 PARAMOUNT UNIVESITY (NALANDA) SEM VIII
PROJECT OVERVIEW This project is the proposal for the resdesign of the Nalanda University. Considering the fact of history and studio VIII was based on the philosophy of Louis Kahn, taking attention to both the aspects of principles of Louis Kahn and Nalanda University , the design proposal iis in such manner. Library of the University has been detailed wjich shows the aspects of principles of Kahn while the master plan is based on the fews principles of Nalanda University.
SITE
INTRODUCTION
The site is located at village Pilkhi, Rajgir. It is the same site where the proposal for the university was given by VastuShilpa Foundation. Area of the site is 200 acre. The site has existing water resources and Rajgir mountain gives a nice background for the design.
CONCEPT
The Jewish Centre design by Louis Kahn was sudied in order to understand and analyse the relationship between the served and servant spaces. Here the repetation of modules create heirarchy in spaces. The same ideology has been used in the design in the form of plazas.
The excavated ruins of Nalanda University were studied in order to understand the spatial character. The spine has been retained. The size of Student hostel block and the Academic block has been taken as the same size as that of the monestries as they used to act as a space of residence and study.

05 ARCHITECTURE THESIS
IMPACT OF HISTORICAL FOOTPRINTS ON CITY FABRIC SEM X
RESEARCH INTRODUCTION Urban design is about understanding a city fabric as a whole where buildings, themselves and open spaces combine to form a built environment. This thesis is based on the understanding of how cities have transformed on the historical footprints and how can they be redefine for the future definations of the city block. There is an understanding of the elements of city fabric such as city footprint and city blocks. The thesis also talks about the complexity of layering the city and also how the defination of city block gives the identity of a city. The city block can also be redefine without changing it’s overall footprints. Figure grounds of European and Indian cities are studied in order to understand the spatial character and definations, history and memory of a city. Despite wars the cities have survive through it’s demolition. Cities like Berlin are great examples of surving through demolition of World War I and II. Indian cities have great historical background which plays important role in future definations of the city blocks and transformations.
CITY FABRIC A PLAY OF FIGURE AND GROUND There are various ways of communicating the information about the cities, through photographs, sketches and drawings. But the best and simplistic way of communicating is the figure ground drawings. Figure grounds shows the relation between the built the unbuilt. One can understand the content of the cities even without knowing the city , through figure grounds. They tend to supply the information with the characteristics such as historical age of the city, socially and politically affected programs, density of the city, activities etc. Generally the black represents the solid areas while the white represents the voids such as roadways, waterways, sidewalks etc.
CITY BLOCKS AND IT’S IDENTITY City blocks are central elements of urban design or urban planning. It is the smallest area surrounded by the city. It creates a space for buildings within streets pattern of the city. City blocks of Berlin which were demolished during the World War I and II have started to regain its pattern through these years. The city block is the original cell of every urban design structure. It defines the networks of routes around the edges and the building plot structure in the middle. The latter determines the rythmn of the buildings at the perimeter of the block.
CITY SURVIVES THROUGH DEMOLITION OF HISTORY Throughout history cities have survived through the demolition created due to the Wars. The demolished parts have been reconstructed where the defination of the block chnages. Whether it is the case of Berlin wall or Palace both represnts the historic events happened in the past which have stayed in the memory of the people. Berlin Palace was demolished during 1950’s in order to remove the Prussian identity for ideological reasons. The space was converted into the German Political building which was modern in the context of the history of the space and context. The building was demolished as many people in mass objected against the new building as by demolishing the old there was a sense of loss of history and memory of the events that has led the city condition of the today. While in case of Berlin Wall the city got divided into parts after the War. After years of political assault people in mass tear down the wall for the unification of Berlin. The remains of the walls are still kept as it gives people an opportunity to maintain the history and past that this city have gone through which in a way also states the horrified past of a city.

06 FUTURE HABITAT SEM V
PROJECT OVERVIEW This project was about understanding and exploring the new world , how would it look after it is on the verge of existance. It was an abstract idea where two rivers flows and acts as a central gravitational core through the residence and humans could experience a new thing. The project was made in Rhino software. This exercise also helps to explore different materials to be used in a physical model.
