CASE STUDY & ACTIVITY MAPPING

AMBLI GAM IS A VERY OLD VILLAGE THAT IS SURROUNDED BY RAPIDLY GROWING METROPOLITAN AREAS.

PEOPLE FROM MANY COMMUNITIES WITH VARIOUS LIFESTYLES COEXIST. HERE, YOU MAY FIND ANYTHING FROM MODERN STRUCTURES TO 100-YEAR-OLD HOUSES. SOME OF THE RESIDENTS RENT THEIR HOMES, BUT SOME HAVE LIVED THERE FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD WITH THEIR ANCESTORS.

STUDIO BRIEF :

• THE STUDIO EXAMINED PATTERNS OF DOMESTIC AND SOCIAL LIFE ANCHORED IN A SETTLEMENT IN WESTERN AHMEDABAD I.E. AMBLI GAM. INITIAL STUDIES AND DOCUMENTATIONS EXPLORED EFFECTS OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND SPACE ON FORMATION OF THE SETTLEMENT, DWELLING UNITS, CHARACTERISTICS OF HOUSES AND EFFECTS DUE TO SURROUNDING HOUSING UNITS, CUSTOMIZATION OF HOUSE TO MAKE IT HOME EVEN AFTER REPEATING SIMILAR TYPOLOGIES. HENCE, STUDIO EXPLORED PATTERNS LEADING TO GENERATING OF

• CLUSTERS AND THE RESULTANT SOCIAL SPACES,

• CONCEPTS OF SPATIAL ORGANISATION AND SPACE HIERARCHIES,

• TRANSITION,

• THRESHOLDS WITH AND BETWEEN HOUSES,

• ARCHITECTURAL RESPONSES TO TRANSPARENCY AND PRIVACY,

• ELEMENTS OF THRESHOLDS WERE EXPLORED IN UNIT AND CLUSTER DESIGN.

WITH DIFFERENT QUALITY OF SPACES, I DESIGNED 3 TYPOLOGIES OF HOUSES WHICH TRANSFORMS INTO A COMPLETE NEW VARIETY OF GATHERING SPACES WHEN PLACED TOGETHER.

Challenge:

DESIGN NET-ZERO-ENERGY, WATER AND CLIMATE-RESILIENT BUILDINGS, CONTRIBUTING TO REAL PROJECTS BY PARTNERING WITH LEADERS IN REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT.

HAVE TO DEVELOP PRACTICAL, INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR REAL BUILDINGS AND LEARN HOW TO MAKE THEIR SOLUTIONS MARKET READY.

SDI is conducted by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) and the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE) under the aegis of the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF).

40% DECREASE IN WATER DEMAND FROM GRIHA BASE CASE REQUIREMENT OF 80LCPD FOR INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING.

70.52% DECREASE IN OUTDOOR WATER DEMAND.

STUDIO BRIEF

THIS STUDIO PROJECT CHALLENGES STUDENTS TO DESIGN A SMALL-SCAL SCHOOL

FACILITY TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF A SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AND COMMUNITY.

THE PROJECT EMPHASIZES THE INTEGRATION OF INNOVATIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS, SUSTAINABLE PRINCIPLES, AND USER-CENTRIC APPROACHES TO CREATE AN ENGAGING AND FUNCTION AL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. STUDENTS WILL EXPLORE SPATIAL ORGANIZATION, CIRCULATION, MATERIALITY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL.

CONCEPT & STRATEGIES :

SITE SELECTION, CONTEXT & APPROACH :

INITIAL VISUALIZATION SKTCHES :

• RAPIDLY DEVELOPINGAREA +DEVELOPING EDUCATIONAL ZONE

• CONNECTS 3 CITIES_ AHMEDABAD- GANDHINAGAR- GIFT CITY

• VERY FEW SCHOOLS THAT TO COMMUNITY BASED

• KNOWLEDGE CORRIDOR

• PDPU-IAR ROAD => KOBA-RAYSON

STUDIO BRIEF :

This studio trains students to design spaces through synthesising responses to multiple factors of site’s physical attributes, special intentions, construction materials and structural systems, form and order, and function. The studio process begins with employing a set of space making elements to devise response to site’s parameters and create spaces with particular experiential qualities. To anchor these design responses, a context comprising of function (program) and location(site) is given to students. Lastly, knowledge of material and structure system is applied to support the resultant module to create an architectural response.
