The current project involves designing “inclusive housing”, inclu-sive to varied economic segments, ranging from the high income group to the economically weaker section. Inclusivity also means increased interaction with the surroundings of the site.
activity PlanesEconomic groups
have their own pedestrian “activity planes”: concourse
levels which lead to the main access for the
private residential unit.
Layers of existenceThe different groups live in close physical proximity in differ-ent horizontal layers. Connectivity be-tween these layers is possible but not requisite.

Layout for the book is kept simple with three basic columns of equal widths. Each sections has a main highlight colour and colour-coded tabs on the exte-rior margin for easy browsing.
Proposals for the cover and contents page-spreads for the book. The Monopoly house is an easily identifiable icon of the house and the seven
colours each represent one of the main content sections.
The formats for the final presentation sheets continue the simplicity of the book design. The same colours are now used to represent each of the six sites.

ANALYSIS, DESIGN aNNUaL NaSa DESIgN COMPETITION ENTRY 2011 INDEPENDENT PROJECTgroup project with Rohan Patankar and varun bajaj
The brief called for detailed analysis of any urban neighbourhood and the careful consideration of associated lost traditions. The main aim of the intervention was to make man realize his deep-rooted relationship with nature by bringing to light the many ways in which he is (and always will remain) dependent on it- a fact that man is now prone to ignore.

POTTERYUsed to store grain and water. Today, sold more as artwork.
SPaCE ShaRINgSame space used for multiple purposes and activities. This meant that the space was active and safe. throughout the day.
From the Sustainable Past to an Energy Intensive PresentIn older times, people would make a physical effort to procure water. This added a sense of restrain. water was also always used judi-ciously, as it was a limited and was replenished by the monsoon for only 2 months in a year.
Today, water supply in homes is purely mechanical, where the resi-dent just needs to flick a switch. Thus, water is taken for granted.
TRaDITIONS, LOST aND NEwhauz Rani in particular has a strong associative history of the hauz and water replenishment, which has now been completely forgotten.
On the other hand, migrant workers bring their own traditions and practices to hauz Rani. The pottery craft, for instance, has been active in the area for the past 60 years.
while one shared knowledge resource of the com-munity has been undeniably lost, another has been gained. we aim to combine them and hence reinvent and revitalize old customs so that they are able to run in parallel with present-day practices. Thus, we inter-vine in the pursuit of creating neo-traditions for a sus-tainable future.

as part of the Overview group helped make a movie and collate our analysis on bhopal and the historic royal precinct of Iqbal Maid-an, one of the few large open public spaces in the old city. The design challenge was to create a successful public space within a strong but deteriorating historical context.iqbal maidan

LaNDSCaPELandscaping creates smaller spaces within the larger maidan and directs visitors to the OaT and later to the lake front.
MOvEMENTThe scheme emphasises on move-ment and flow through the maidan: there are multiple entry and exit points and the open spaces flow into each other.

an architectural design competition adopted as the studio exer-cise. The brief called for a large mixed use development as part of an IT office complex in greater Noida. One of the main challenges was to create a design that can “witness, influence and remain pertinent to the sharp, anticipated transformations of the region”.ou

The bulging convention centre blocks the view of the tower when starting at the base. So we sink the bottom bit underground to get an uninterrupted view of the ribbon from the ground level.

the vine
house
The brief was to design a sustainable tree house, necessarily elevated from the ground. The design was to be a holiday retreat for a married couple and their two teenaged children, the husband an author and the wife a painter.
Participants were free to choose their site and tree.
TREE: Jamun (Jambul)width ranges from 2-3m. Can shoot up to 25- 30 m
SITE: Chandrakot, kumaon valleyhilly terrain with river kuch flowing throught the region
CONCEPT DEvELOPMENTThe idea was to separate spaces ac-cording to their respective functions.
bed rooms kitchen
toilet
living study/studio
The vine house isinspired from climbers (climbing plants).
The structure of the vine house is like a spiral which is open to both the outside and the inside.
bed rooms
study
toilet
living/kitchenette

balcony The space open from the inside enables direct interac-
tion with the tree. and that from the outside enables interaction with all the space around, in turn bringing the out-side inside.
The vine house can be modelled ac-cording to the client’s wishes, and also according to the shape of the trees.
