urbanGround
Urban Ground is an attempt at a model of urbanism where the figure also operates as ground. The developments are reflected in pliant surfaces and its outcrops are reminiscent of the programmatic pressures. The idea of Urban Ground originated at the AA_DRL_version11 under team Brown Sheep. Since inception [Spring 2009], Urban Ground has grown to interpret CONTEXT and PROGRAM to widen its implication beyond formal outputs.
Design [+] Design Research
The blog showcases Portfolio and discussions prevalent at Design [+] Design Research.
D[+]DR is a research team at Design Plus, which tackles a systematic process of design within the context of India's construction Industry. Its main endeavor is to create a comprehensive dialogue between a high-tech design development and a relative low-tech execution. Details: http://designplus.org.in/d-n-dr-intro.html

Private Residence, DLF Phase 3
The idea to enhance the nuclear family interaction was the premise. The program was critically divided in Living Working and Sleeping Spaces. Every floor was detailed to increase the Living areas that would be shared by the inhabitants.
Built-Up - 4800 SqFt.

Patterns and Performance - 2011 Sem 4
Thesis | 2nd Year_ 4th Sem
Patterns exist all around us. They are evident all around in nature and the cosmos. Is it not intriguing that if we look at the organic layout of an atom it replicates a similar format of the solar system? SImilarly if we analyze the configuration of various molecular structures the diagraming is very similar to that of the structure of DNA molecules. However the DNA molecule may develop on a more vertical construct vs chemical molecular structures which may unfold on a more horizontal platform. The role of the studio is to be able to question this possibility into the realm of built form. Cities like molecules are a composite of various patterns of their own - some planned others amorphous generations. The studio will also research such conditions as part of the ongoing process of design. Students will participate in research developing tools, processes and strategies of patterns that may influence the built form. The unit will be involved with testing parameters and strategies in relation to the formulation of space. The studio will be testing these ideologies within a rural context as well as an urban scenario. The studio is based on the format of asking appropriate questions through design ideologies rather than answering them.
