Philosophy

Why someone would like to become an architect, when he has chances to go for different successful professions like en-gineer and doctor and lawyer. Well if you are kind of person who is always interested in what is happening around us, always curious about surroundings then you might be inter-ested in learning how to improve them. As an architect I shall have power and responsibility to shape the environment with which people spend their daily lives. This makes architects a very influential profession in today’s society.

Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire word, stimulating the process, giving birth to “evolution”.

-Albert Einstein

Through wild imagination architect ponder in context, needs and details of the edifice. These three elements needed to articulate built form solid, voids with proportions and aesthetics, giving birth to the architecture in its own realm. Ultimate goal of architecture is to design not buildings, but the very own experience and usefulness of the spaces inside and outside.

Visual Perception

The intent of this exercise was to study some basic principal of gestalt theory with architectural point of view.

Plane Composition

The exercise was to generate various shapes by juxtaposing five squares in different order to create shapes and using those shapes to compose a sculpture in three dimensions. This exercise was to explore visual perception by figure-ground theory as well as solid and void theory.

‘There are a million ways to arrange solid and void, but I don’t think so. I think there are two, and the other one is wrong.”

-David Fincher (Film Maker) Paraphrasing “to arrange solid and void” instead of “to shoot a scene.”

Cube/cylinder Composition

The exercise was to compose a sculpture by juxtaposing cubes and cylinders with sense hierarchy and order, by means of solid and void theory.

Figure and Ground

“The eye differentiates an object form its surrounding area. A form, silhouette, or shape is naturally perceived as figure (object), while the surrounding area is perceived as ground (background).Balancing figure and ground can make the per-ceived image clearer. Using unusual figure/ground relation-ships can add interest and subtlety to an image.”

Solid and Void

“A three-dimensional space is considered a positive space if it has a defined shape and a sense of boundary or threshold be-tween in and out. Positive spaces can be defined in an infinite number of ways by points, lines, planes, solid volumes, trees, building edges, columns, walls, sloped earth, and innumer-able other elements.”

This theory states that the space that results from placing figures should be considered as carefully as the figures themselves. Space is called negative space if it is unshaped after the placement of figures. It is positive space if it has a shape. Solid-void theory is the three-dimensional counterpart to figure-ground theory. It holds that the volumetric spaces shaped or implied by the placement of solid objects are as important as, or more important than, the objects themselves.

Third year’s design project Art gallery at Solapur. Intension while designing this building was to create an art form which will accommodate all the exhibition spaces, which will be social landmark for the developing Solapur. Form composed of some solids and voids gives a dynamic picturesque style to the building. Through voids in the background will be the Solapur-Bijapur Road running along with the Sambhaji lake Situated behind the site of the art gallery. Building will serve as a social gathering space in the south zone of the Solapur.

The designers were asked to design the facility within an empty architectural building block. The challenge lies in floor wise distribution of activities, arrangements of floors within empty volume, interlink within the floors created and above all the integration of the whole into spatial form to be reflected on the architecture of the street façade. The project was having three levels within a larger five-storied large com-mercial building. Here making use of the existing service and movement core of the building was major design criteria.

Beyond the function-form, this proposal is an at-tempt to deal with three T’s of architecture Typology, Topology, and Tectonics. A bold way to deal with Functions, Context and Details in the design process itself.

The challenge of this competition was designing a 100 meter tall tower-hostel which will include relaxation areas and stores offering young people’s fashion wear, and at the same time creates a new landmark in the city of Barcelona. To this end, a site had been chosen for the development of the project in the Plaza del MACBA, given that this is the heart of the Gothic Quarter, opposite the Museum of Contemporary Art designed by the famous architect Richard Meier.

While designing goal was to eliminate a static or awkward posture, repetitive motion, poor access or inadequate clearance & excessive reach. Display difficult reading. Understand controls that are confusing to oper-ate or require too much force. Design is a pure result of the following posi-tive goals i.e. Enhance human abilities, overcome human limitations, foster user acceptance. It should be flexible to accommodate the user population so that personnel may interface effectively with equipment.

The design theme was the development of a project for the new Town House for the Municipality of Sordio (Lodi). The proposal required the use of dry-joint technologies. The design proposal has been developed through the technical regulation control stage and a number of detailed construction drawings, specifications and plastic models.

This Studio focused at the complexity of the design process of a building, from the con-cept and briefing stage to the development of the documents needed to communicate design information to the construction stage. The Studio comprehends two sections: Architecture Technology and Structural Design.

Studio focused on handling of complex shapes with a defined number of control points. Exploring Possibilities to describe them trough few, representative and recognizable elements. The course assigned two different tasks, to provide a critical way to read and study a certain actual architectural scene in a more complete cultural background and to delineate a tech-nical dialogue by fixing criteria and methodologies. Design starts from the hypothesis of the existence of elements that make a complex surface or shape readable and capable to be manipulated and modified in a “psychological way” find-ing a possible shape. a clarifying design process, that helps the development of practice from the step to the “possible” (diagrams, concepts, sketches, schemes...) to the geometrical definition.

Prison, at Ahmedabad City Centre

Contextual street character defined entry points. Entry point defined axes. Alliance of more that 2 axes formed multi- axial approach. Axes defined important open spaces. And from open spaces when applied to climatic conditions formed zoning of the program requirements. Built form evolved from climatic conditions. Derived open spaces enhances the environment quality of the architectural design. As biological skin provides protection, sensation, heat regulation, aesthetics and commu-nication, the skin designed for this prison does the same things. The skin was designed carefully. The idea of free plan was extensively used in the cell and workshop department.

Prison, at Ahmedabad City Centre

This design studio was an paradox in program itself. The site chosen for the prison was in the dense urban fabric of the central Ahmedabad. The site was inclusive of an Bhadra fort which was an old monument, having its own cultural values. The studio intent was to develop a healthy approach to the dense urban context and historical monument into the design process. How to tackle the security issue at night with the light is demonstrated in the night view. The section view demonstrate the underbelly with open workshop.

Theory and Seminar on Sustainability

Sustainability report on Pearl Academy of Fashion Jaipur, designed Morphogenesis (2008) lo-cated in a predominantly industrial setting, led to an ‘introverted’ design. Shallow pools in the courtyards cool the building, which is located in a hot, dry, desert climate. From the tradition of passive cooling techniques prevalent in the hot-dry desert climate of Rajasthan. The design reinterprets two traditional Rajasthani architectural motifs “jaali” and the open courtyard.

Le Corbusier in Detail through Shodhan House Philosophy of the Director

Aamir Hussain Khan Born on 14 March 1965, is an Indian film actor,director and producer. Khan has worked in a number of critically and commercially successful films and has estab-lished himself as one of the leading actors of Hindi cinema. He is also the founder-owner of Aamir Khan Productions. Known as perfectionist who insists on getting a finished script before committing to a film and also refuses to work on more than one film at a time, he says “I cannot deal with so many things, I have bandwidth only for that much." Both very unusual for Bollywood where actors usually work in several films at a time and script details are often improvised on the day of shoot-ing. He refuses to accept the usual awards from Indian trade magazines such as Filmfare, though nominated many times, Khan does not attend any Indian film award ceremony as he feels "Indian film awards lack credibility". In 2007, Khan was invited to have a wax imitation of himself put on display at Madame Tussauds in London. However, Khan declined stating that, "It's not important to me... People will see my films if they want to.”

Theory helped us to develop International film festival design

Rediscovering Le Carbusiers’s own philosophy concised as fol-lows, through the Shodhan house, Ahmedabad.

Somatic detail (Touch, handrails, rails, walls, pilotis) ‘I have a body like everyone else, and what I’m interested in is contact with my body, with my eyes, my mind’. Anthropomorphism, Touch, Wall and pilotis , Door handle and handrails, Furniture, Floors, Colour, space, sound.

Light and dark Meaning of light and dark, use design of windows, roof lights, reflection, artificial lighting ‘Observe the play of shadows, learn the game Precise shadows, clear cut or dissolving. Projected shadows, sharp. Projected shadows, pre-cisely delineated, but what enchanting arabesques and frets. Counterpoint and fugue. Great music’.

Framing Views, objects, space The idea of framing is absolute-ly central to Le Corbusier’s design philosophy. Le Corbusier thought continually in terms of frames

Elements of the 5 architectural promenade. Door, stair and ramp Each discrete element of the promenade architecturale was designed to promote an engagement with the build-ing and its meaning, an initiation through architecture to Le Corbusier’s way of thinking.

To understand about an architect it is neceesary to lookup direct association between his philosophy and his buildings. To understand Le Carbusier who virtually erased the thirty formative years of his life in La Chaux- de- Fonds from his authorized OEuvre complete 1910–1929, we really need to un-derstand his beliefs. Though its not possibleonly in two pages here in this paper we will try to rediscovering Le Carbusiers’s own philosophy, and it is concised as follows, through the Shodan house, Ahmedabad.

Photography Landscape - Elective

This elective was conducted by Rishi Singhal a renowned Photographer. The theme for this exercise was landscape photography . My attempt was to deal with social issue of sustainability through content of the photographs.

We can use solar energy instead of electricity and this photograph shows how sun over-powering giant electricity power plant. Sun does it everyday.

In another photograph a train filled with coal diminishes in the perspective. This shows energy sources like these are perishable they have and end.

Giant monsters like these electricity tower became tiny and vanished in perspective in front of the great Sun.

Another photograph of water reservoir. It shows the next natural source of energy could be water.

Photography Portrait - Elective

This theme was portrait photography. In this case my attempt was to capture some of the worker personali-ties associated with CEPT institution.

In CEPT right when I enter this security chacha will always give a smile at me, our campus is safe and sound be-cause of this man and we don;t even care. Munna bhai ! Whenever we have to take prints we go to “Munna bhai” and call him at night, early morning, he will be ready to give us service. We don’t even realise he also has a family too. For canteen whenever we go to the eat, first thing we need is the coupon and this man “Santosh bhai” will be always ready a with a great smile and giving coupons. No one really sees how much patience someone have to sit for so long. Next whenever you go to canteen counter and no body is listings to you just shout “Hirya kaka” he will be giving response to your call. Samir bhai, whenever I have buy some stationary I go to “Samir bhai” take whatever we want, and I will just say “account me likkh lena!”

Graphic Design - Elective

Graphic design elective was conducted by Sanjay Basvraju. In this elective we have learned the basics of typography. Everything about computer fonts.

All the basic type of serif font, sans serif fonts. We learnt how the content is important in the Graphic Design. What is com-position and positive space and negative space.

The exercises on the software “Adobe InDesign” was the important lesson, because of which this port folio and thesis report were the excellent product of this workshop.

we completed a demo book which was the thesis report of one of my classmate from theory and design “Prachi Bhavsar”

I enjoyed all the electives very much, I think electives are the ways to rejuvenate oneself from old baggages.

Detailing - A Carlo Scarpa retrospective

Why detailing is an important process in architectural design or Why detailing is necessary in architecture?

What are the roles of detailing in architecture?

How detailing can express the style and character of architecture?

How detailing can be used as a unification element to unify elements or parts to whole?

How it is helpful to build tangible and sensuous char-acter to the architecture?

“The joint is the beginning of ornament and that must be distinguished from decoration which is simply applied. Ornament is the adoration of the joint.”

-Louis Kahn

Above quote is very clear about difference between, interlocking constructional elements, junctions and just applied decora-tion. Hence question arises, what is architectural detail? When interlocking constructional elements, junctions, and expressive material finishes are taken in account, thinking construction and aesthetical sense, they can become self-expressive technical composition. This thoughtful and creative process of working with materials and joints is known as “Detailing”, that is to say architecture resides in detail.

The tectonic expression of architecture is capable of enhancing the physical and intellectual experience of built form. The shift of spiritual centre from organic to inorganic has changed the face of art and architecture in recent century. This is only possible because of new materials and advanced techniques. Detailing demonstrates the attribute of materials through application of the laws of construction. It renders design decisions and articulates design. Detailing is one of the most important processes for writing architectural language. Analysis and display of material provided by laws of construction, formation of architectural objects are constituent principal support in tectonic expression. Amplification of construction can be source of meaning. This research thesis will focus on the concept of the architectural detail through texts and drawings.

Intention of this research thesis is to study role of detailing in architecture; focusing on de-tailing as expression of style and character of architecture. The architectural details are seen as words composing a sentence. And as the selection words and placing them in appropriate style gives character to the sentence in similar way selection of proper material and putting them in appropriate way gives a character to the building.

Also this thesis explores necessity of detailing in design process. It also raises the issue of hierarchy and suggests relationship between part and whole. Crises in architectural language and lack of knowledge of handling material also will be discussed. This thesis will also investigate innovation and inventions in detailing.

The thesis will also include understanding of notion about architectural detail in and practical domain. The basic Idea is to understand how detailing can be appreciated as aesthetic expression in architectural design with study of various supporting instances and case studies of Carlo Scarpa. As well as it will explore architecture as tectonic expressions by means of studying concerns connected to detailing like definition, conceptual identification, etymology. Furthermore process of detailing can be studied by role of the drawings, visual perception, and geometric proportions, purity-simplicity, style and character with case studies of Carlo Scarpa’s Drawings.

Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) Italian Architect

Research Questions


Page | 38

Detailing - A Carlo Scarpa retrospective

Every single good architectural object goes through process of detailing. Each and every single architect unconsciously practices detailing as profound or subtle processes in back of his mind. Detailing is inherent in the idea of design. Detailing is concealed in the word “Design” itself. To design means to detail out spaces inside and outside. By looking at works of Carlo Scarpa, we see, the spiritual experience of the space within a building is derived from tiny details constituent within the built form, evolved from, material, structure (Joining technique), dimensions and drawings.

Material

According to programmatic requirement, structural requirement choosing the right material is very important in the proce-dure of detailing. Before deciding materials a good knowledge of the raw materials, discrete properties of all architectural ma-terials is essential. Meaningful material provides meaningful expression. Today’s contemporary materials are meant to expose physical appearance inherent in material.

Structure (Joining technique)

After design development and after choosing a meaningful material, putting them together in proper order enhances visual as well as physical quality. Advanced techniques of connec-tions and physical properties of material helps in innovation and en-hancing spiritual qualities of the joint. Practical aspects of fixing pieces of building material leads to enhancing constructability of the joints as well as expressive construction.

Dimensions

Scale is another most influential tool for generating detail. It can provide visual as well as technical depth to the design. Proportions and sense of realism comes into the design development when we incorporate scale in the drawings.

Drawings

Drawings are helpful to visualise the joints and polish them. The notion of visual perception, proportions we can perceive from drawings before erection of construction. Drawing is a medium where you can put information regarding visual appearance, and contribute the value of construction. A drawing of detail makes it easy to construct amateur Ideas. Practicing detail is liter-ally practicing drawings. Working on detail drawings became one of the basic functions for generating expressive architecture.

"There is no such thing as a good idea, there is only expression." -Carlo Scarpa

Studio Work | About

January 12

After two years of work experience from New Delhi, I started masters in Theory and Design from CEPT University, with practical background for further studies. In CEPT I refined my knowledge about design processes. After two semesters I won Erasmus Mundus Scholarship program, which permitted me to study next two semesters in Politecnico Di Milano, Italy as exchange student. In Poli Mi I focused on construction de-tails especially dry construction techniques. I travelled many countries in Europe like Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. There I explored rich European art, architecture and culture. I completed research thesis on “Detailing” as an expression by Carlo Scarpa.

I have expertise qualification in Building Information Modelling software. I can render conceptual and developed proposals presentations in various software programs. I am using Autodesk Revit since bachelor of architecture; I have completed many projects in Revit, including some award winning competition entries and thesis. I can work in both environments conceptual design and very practical level. I can generate reports on shadow analysis, energy analysis of proposals. I am knowledgeable enough to work on reports of Quantity and Estimate. I have plenty of experience in coordi-nating architectural drawings with various consultants, ven-dors, contractors, construction site and internal departments of the organization. I always like to explore new software and new ways of doing things.
