OLD AND NEW
The major take away apart from design was time management. The trimester was 11 weeks long,
so the idea was to start working on the project right from day one and leave nothing for the last
moment. Fortunately, by perfect time management I was not only able to finish the project one
and a half day before the deadline but also was able to help my colleagues on their project.

The driving force behind this architectural project was designing a space for
people.
The design proposal seek to address two key issues
- To incorporate the Melbourne style of architecture.
- To cater to the residents of Southbank by providing an urban heart.
Stone and Metal were the two major
materials used to represent the
old and new style of Architecture.
As this project site is located at Southbank
which is a part of Melbourne, the site had to
respect the Melbourne style ofArchitecture.
Many people would argue that Melbourne
does not have any particular style or
character, but when I walked into the
streets of Melbourne, I came across
several things which are unique to this
place and among them, was the concept
of the OLD and NEW, which had come
from searching for public spaces in the
CBD Melbourne and there was no better
example than the Federation Square the
new built form, which sits in front of St
Paul’s Cathedral, which is an old built form.
The primary reason to choose Melbourne
is to gain confidence to design a space in
one of the major cities in the world.
Southbank promenade is a regional tourist
attraction and does not provide a local
heart to Southbank.
The lack of local convenience shopping
facilities, services and public gathering
spaces and fun places that drive people to
Southbank is missing and this project, will
be the heart of Southbank and also an end
to the long Cultural Precinct spine at the
Sturt street, Southbank.
Along with the old and new, Another
concept which could not escape was
the idea of creating lane ways which
was associated with Melbourne.
Then the major idea was to infuse these
bits of Melbourne into the building so it
feels like the building belongs to this place.
ST.PAUL’S CATHEDRAL AND FEDERATION
SQUARE
The most significant spaces in the Cultural Hub - Plaza, Cafeteria, Auditorium and the Central library

The Pedestrian Bridge
design has been instigated
by one of the Yarra River
bridges in Melbourne.
The extended parts of the
bridge face theAACAbuilding
on the one side and the City
Link on the other side.
The geometry of the
Pedestrian Bridge is formed
by extending the construction
lines from the edge of the
AACA building .

The central Plaza caters to two important landmarks of the Southbank: The Promenade and the
AACA/Malthouse Theatre.
The series of diagrams establishes Plaza as a part of the residential area along with emphasis to the
Promenade and the AACA/ Malthouse Theatre.

CENTRAL LIBRARY FLOOR PLAN
The central library is divided
into 2 spaces- book collection
and reading spaces, with
reference to the sun’s
orientation.
The west side of the library
receives less sunlight. Hence,
the book collection space is
located in the western side for
the protection of books from
the sunlight and the reading
spaces are provided on the
Eastern side with abundant
natural light penetrating
through the windows and the
roof.

The major takeaway from this group project was team work and a way to incorporate collective
design ideas into one project, which resulted in the success of the project.
My input was towards the design concept , 3d modeling, creating a short movie using
Camtasia Studio.

The main concept was to address the
various site conditions and to respond by
creating appropriate spaces.
THE 3 CORE HORIZONTAL AXIS ON PLAN THE 3 CORE HORIZONTAL AXIS TRANSFERED TO THE VERTICAL PLANE TO
DEFINE THE 3 LEVELS
THE VISION WAS TO CREATE SHOPS ON EITHER SIDE IN ORDER TO UTILIZE
BOTH THE SPACES AND AT THE SAME TIME CREATE AN INTERESTING
SPACE FOR THE CONSUMERS.
SIMILAR VISION IS INCORPORATED ON VARIOUS LEVELS.
SECTION INDICATING THE MAIN ENTRANCE FROM THE TRAM STOP AND
ALSO THROUGH THE VARIOUS LEVELS OF THE MARKET.
The proposed design for South
Melbourne Market was addressed in
relation to ‘CITIES & SIGNS 3’from
the Italo Calvino: Invisible City. It
articulates where the stranger enters
a space and the journey seems like an
adventure.
Although, the stranger strongly thinks
that the city in front of him seems
disordered in relation to every building
is set in a different order, but as soon
he enters the city, it is actually well
structured in relation to its surrounding
context and purpose. The stranger
simply has to enjoy the adventure that’s
been presented to him.

The concept for the roof
design was to incorporate a
tensile structure, which shall
bring in abundant natural
light and also incorporate a
feeling of openness to the
market space and also to the
community.
Apart from that, the long span
structure such as this shall
allow more central space
without any hindrance of the
columns or beams to support
the structure.

My input was in two
aspects of the design.
The first one was to come up with
an idea to create a circular foot over
bridge in between the blocks. The
bridge acts not only as a pathway
but also an interactive space
connecting the blocks to the food
court and game zone designed
by me which was the second part.
ENTRY AND EXITROOF PLAN – CIRCULAR RAMP AND
FLOOR LEVELS
Second part of the Market design
was to produce a detail section of
the 6 individual blocks in the Master
plan, selected during the interim.
In the detail sections emphasis
was given to the effects of
lighting and shadows and also
the interaction of individual block
to the other blocks on the site.

TRANSFORMATION - ROYALTY MEETS HUMANITY

The work involved
design and execution
of a nephrology unit
of 6000sq.ft area for
a heritage building. It
was one of the most
challenging project as
it involved a heritage
building and 16 clients
as it was a joint
venture. The idea was
to retain the original
structure and yet
provide comfort and
modern facilities to the
patients. After several
months of analysis
and transformation a
palace was converted
into a hospital retaining
its originality.
My input for this
project comprised
detail working
drawings, organizing
client meetings,
representing the
company, dealing with
various consultants to
finalize the drawings,
material selection and
periodic supervision
from commencement
till completion.

Hospital spaces typically make
people awfully miserable, seeing
yourlovedonessufferisnotagood
feeling. At such agonizing times, a
designer plays a very crucial role,
along with the doctors and the
nurses. The hospital design has
to be minimalistic and at the same
time provide a transformative
healing environment. It has to
make the patient feel that they will
be treated with empathy.
Having said so, functionality was an important
aspect in the design process to achieve a
spacious design. There were multiple changes
to the design to suit the needs of the patients
and also the staff working there. I interacted with
the staff and numerous people working there to
understand their requirement, which was essential
for the success of the unit.
Another important aspect of the design was to
retain the elegance of the palace, additional
design features such as the moldings on the walls
and on the ceiling were added to match the exiting
design. LED was used to provide efficient lighting
solution without having to lay new electrical lines.
Gachi ( a mixture of sandstone, lime and
fiber) was used to resurface worn-out
walls. This not only matched the existing
surface, but also reduced green house gas
emissions.
Hence, we succeeded in creating a flexible,
an environmentally responsive and a high
standard build, retaining the glory of the
palace along with creating a functional,
elegant and a comfortable space for the
patients.
