ENTRY
The site for the proposed fashion school is located at Perungudi, Chennai, with the requisite road connectivity.
An area of 48,300 sq.m is to be developed into a school catering to aspirants of fashion designing, while leaving scope for future expansion.
The orientation of the site is along east-west direction. The site is sloped to a gradual contour to harvest the entire catchment of run off rain water.
As design students spend most of their productive hours in the studios, the process of designing initiated with the segmental plan of the above. leading to a macro level layout of the masterplan based on properties of Geometry.
The administrative block and the auditorium are given seperate access from the drop off porch, while also being connected through the main plaza within the sprawl of the campus.
The design developed around an existing tree, around which the space for display of student works is laid out,followed by lecture halls, studios and their respective labs.

SEGMENT AS A FORM OF PLAN
Segmental form of the studio is susceptive to concentration at one point. The gradual rise in the floor level of the studio is attributable to visual connectivity and interaction. The presence of the water body within the campus helps in altering the humid weather and also acting as an aesthetic element.

MULTI-USER OFFICE DESIGN
11
The design is proposed for a multi-user office facility, with a total of ten floors where, two floors of basement parking for four wheelers, a stilt parking for two wheelers and ten floors public and private activities are provided.
The concept of collocation of jenga blocks, lead to the ideation of arrangement of units and blocks in the building. The skin of the building is left unglazed, while the vertical services are exposed through glazing.
Zones prone to public use like gymnasium, recreational space, cafeteria, etc are placed above the stilt parking, so as to seclude the private office spaces from the former.
Starting from the third floor, four office spaces of varying rentable areas along with their dedicated utility and amenity spaces are positioned.
Work stations are positioned above the recreational space, in order to isolate the work environment from noisy street scape.
Accessibility of space being the core idea, multiple services are incorporated in the design for ease in circulation and safety in hazardous situations.

CLUB HOUSE DESIGN
21
The site for the proposed club house is located in Chennai.
Taking inspiration from Swiss Architect, Peter Zumthor, the idea was based on “Form follow Feelings”. Thus, giving way to the feel of an individual in a particular form of space.
Linearity being the main schema of the design, the club house attributes to the leisure of walking along the long corridors of the building.
Since Chennai is subjected to harsh weather, the colonnaded wooden screen helps in minimizing the radiation exposure on the walls, thereby, providing an ambient atmoshpere in the interior space of the building. Yet, the visual connectivity is not lost while strolling down these walkways.
Even the stair cases provided within the structure reflects on the linear notion, while the elevator is located in the administrative block near the drop off porch.
SITE PLAN
22
The building is laid out in a three floor plan, where the ground floor accomodates spaces for public activities, the second floor contains the privatized lodging rooms and the third floor is provided with indoor badminton courts and a gymnasium.
The administrative block is secluded from the main block, so as to isolate work setting from the main block which is prone to noisy activities, increase vehicular accessibility and to accomodate the mechanical services.
The long corridors overlook into the tennis court and the swimming pool. The library is positioned at one end of the building to provide the necessary conditions for reading.
The floor plates are displaced to make the structure cantilevered, aiding to the shaded walkways and travel lanes outside the built environment.

RURAL HOUSING DESIGN
27
The porject is a proposed rural housing design, where cost reduction and sustainability are the core principles. The construction techniques adopted are based on traditional vernacular style, as to address the conservation of energy.
The design not only adheres to conservation in the form of energy but also in space. Thus, a comfortable dwelling can be provided with all the basic necessities at low cost.
The house is a simplistic diagonal plan, where spaces are divided according to the additive and subtractive nature of space. The plot covers an area of 114 sq.m, wherein, a sit-out leading to the living room and the dining space in progression in provided. The bedrooms opens into the dining, which have seperate spill out spaces and wash rooms.
The roof over-hang provides sufficient shading for the wooden columns, which act as shading devices themselves, yet not hindering visual connectivity.
The design could possibly be low cost, by eliminationg the construction of lintels and windows. To ensure this, the structure was made load-bearing and wall heights were re-duced to the height of the doorway (2.1m). The use of hipped roof helps in tackling the problem of low ceiling heights.
The materials used include wood, mud roof tiles, adobe blocks filled with plastic bottles

VENTILATION - Stack effect helps in the flow of fresh air from the exterior, through the over-hang of the roof and its truss members. The air to be exhausted moves up to the double roof height and are sent out through the louvres.
Since windows are eliminated, traditional jali’s (trellis) are incorporated in the wall made of adobe blocks. This is achieved by simply displacing the row of blocks placed above each other, such that the edge lines of the blocks do not coincide. By doing this, alternate blocks can be removed to form openings ( jali) at desired heights.
LINTEL - The use of lintels above doorways and window is rejected to cut down the cost. In-order to materialize this proposition, walls are not extruded beyond the height of the doorway. Hence, the structural members of the roof are placed on top of the walls and the door frames.
WALL - The walls are made up of adobe blocks arranged in a way to minimize the use of mortar. Since adobe is made of earth and organic materials, the embodied energy used up in making these blocks is much lesser than that involved in producing conventional bricks.
The arrangement within the block contains plastic bottles filled with adobe with thermocol as insulator and wire mesh as reiforcement to hold the set up intect. Moulds are used to produce these blocks.
