aboutDHWANI RUPARELIA

H aving grown up in Bengaluru while the city transformed from the garden city into the silicon valley of India, I have learnt to embrace change and adapt to it. I have always had an affinity to and excelled at creative fields like theatre, dance, arts & crafts, sketching, doodling, design and home décor. As an adolescent I would constantly re-imagine spaces and buildings I visited. Finally, when it was time to choose a career, I was looking for something that was creative and yet intellectually stimulating,hence architecture was the perfect fit. As a practicing architect and designer today, I believe that In my opinion, knowledge of cultures and architecture around the world, is essential for an architect as it helps enhance their ken of architecture and design. Languages are a significant part of different cultures. It makes it easier for one to learn about the culture of a place, if they know a bit of the native language. So far, there are 5 languages I can comprehend, write and speak.

The 5 years of B-Arch and 2 and 1/2 years of professional experience have contributed heavily towards shaping the The 5 years of B-Arch and 2 and 1/2 years of professional experience have contributed heavily towards shaping the person I am today. During my academic years, I worked on various projects, such as bungalow design, climate responsive architecture, landscape design, shopping mall design, medical college design, airport design and many more. These projects laid the foundation of my architecture skills. In addition to the theoretical aspect, it taught me hard work, patience and perseverance needed to develop a design from scratch. The projects were made incrementally challenging due to my focus on technology integration and designing sustainable, eco-friendly prototypes.

While studying, I was fortunate enough to have a glimpse at opposite ends of the application spectrum through my While studying, I was fortunate enough to have a glimpse at opposite ends of the application spectrum through my internships. My first internship at a start-up architecture firm - Happy Minds, provided an insight into the struggles a fledgling firm faces including working with limited resources to deliver a complete product. I had the opportunity to work closely on two residential projects. As it was a start-up, it included the principal architect, another intern and me. I was able to get a firsthand experience of the projects, including interaction with the clients, contractors and on site workers.workers. Working at Happy Minds honed my ability to be resourceful while also teaching me the brand building challenges a new firm faces.

My second internship, at a well-established firm - Aslam Architects, taught me about working in a team on a more focused segment while collaborating with other teams that were developing designs in parallel. Through my second internship, the office had various teams managing different projects. I had the opportunity to briefly work under the guidance of the principal architect and attend one-on-one client meetings with him. Here, we worked on large-scale projects all over India, such as community living projects, apartments and hospitality projects.projects all over India, such as community living projects, apartments and hospitality projects. This experience also helped hone my scheduling and administration skills since I was responsible for managing vendor relations.

Over the academic cycle, my learnings and experiences have drawn me much closer to the field of architecture, becoming a defining aspect of who I am. After obtaining my professional license from the Council of Architecture, I freelanced for a year and a half, after which, I co-founded a firm named DAK Architecture Studio. My experience from the internships had prepared me for some of the nuances of running an independent firm. I began my practice with small freelance projects like elevation and logo designs. Eventuallwith small freelance projects like elevation and logo designs. Eventually, I managed to acquire a few interior design projects and currently, I am pursuing a project designing a large farmhouse for a client. The client desired a harmony of modernity blending into the serenity of nature. They plan to continue using parts of that property for farming. We presented a design that is nature friendly and allows the occupants to indulge in nature irrespective of them being indoors or outdoors. This project is special to me because it was our first full-scale project.

Apart from the struggles of a beginner as a freelancer and that of running a start-up, this period was also emotionally rattling for me as I went through a personal battle at the same time.rattling for me as I went through a personal battle at the same time. The whole experience has made me tougher as a person who never gives up. What doesn't kill you, indeed makes you stronger. Through the course of my experience in this field, I have realized that architecture doesn't just involve using practices, techniques and design ideas that already exist, but also involves research and invention of new ones.

Technically, two main axes have been set as shown. This is because of the internal road and the high tensionline already present on the site.But, for design purposes, the high tension line and the internal road will be considered as the main axes. will be considered as the main axes.

Hence, a main road will be designed along the high tension line and the internal road acts as the secondary main road. Also, designing the main road along the high tension line, means all blocks will be built on either banks of the road, where the either banks of the road, where the road acts as the set back from the high tension lines, which inturn prevents wastage of space.

The greens present on the site can be retained and the design can be worked around them, this is possible because the site is large enough.

The site considered for the design of the IIT Dharwad, is vast in terms of the area (approx.550 acres). Hence, to simplify the process of design, the grid iron pattern, inspired from, the design of Chandigarh, by Le Corbusier,has been taken into consideration. Therefore, a grid was formed on the site, as a skeleton to a grid was formed on the site, as a skeleton to the design of the master plan.

Two main roads were set according to the two axes considered. One, along the high tension line, running accross the site.

And the other existing road, running east - west.

A peripheral road also runs along the perimeter of the site, which is mainly the service road.

The sub - roads are designed by further zoning the spaces and arranging the blocks.

The blocks, have been oriented such that the longer side runs NW-SE and the shorter side runs NE-SW.

This way, major part of the building is well ventilated through the windows on the longer side and a minor part of the building gets heated up. By adding the building gets heated up. By adding trees and bushes around the block, the heating up reduces and reduces the temperature of the micro - climate.

A pathway from the road leads to the block as shown. Also, multiple gazebos act as interaction spaces between the blocks. Finally, the space between two blocks shall be used for parking.

The sector highlighted in the above site plan has been blown up below. This is to show how the conceptual design can be incorporated in all thesectors. sectors.

BLOCK DESIGNB L O C K D E S I G N

The blocks are oriented on the site such that there is sufficient cross ventilation through the building.To achieve better air flow as well as connectivity through the block, the followig attempts were made.

In diagram 1, the idea was to have good connectivity through the block. But in that case, the south west part of the block is well ventilated and the north east part of the block is well ventilated and the north east part gets a little less air flow and vice versa during retreating monsoon.


PORTFOLIO JAN 2020

In diagram 2 the south west side is wellvetilated due to wind direction and the northeast due to air flow by negative pressure and vice versa.This form enables well ventilated corridors but acute angles create lot of dead spaces.

The following floor plan shows a prototype design using the technique shown in diagram 4. This plan can be modified internally according to the requirements. in case of requirement of a larger area, the plan can be scaled up. Since it is a simple rectangular plan, it is easily modifiable according to requirements.

In the diagram 3, the concept of convection is used to ensure good ventilation and to achieve good connectivity, as in diagram 1. But again, it suffers from lack of air flow as in diagram 1.

In the diagram 4, this problem is solved by combining the ideas of diagram 2 and 3. That is, 1. Achieving efficient air flow using wind direction and negative pressure.2. Using the concept of convection, to further improve the ventilation. further improve the ventilation.3. Ensuring good connectivity.

In a small piece written by Laurie Baker, he writes,

The reason to recall the above thought, is that brick is a readily available material in the vicinity of the site. Brickyards are a common sight on the road to the location of the site. Apart from that, the construction would be cost effective. The maintenance would be easier. Also, a brick facade generates visual interest and compliments well with the greens around. A good example of that is the IIM Ahmedabad designed by Louis Kahn.
