Sep 2014- Mar 2016 Aug 2011- Aug 2013 July 2016- Present Sep 2006 - July 201 1 Aug 2009 - Dec 2009 I am an experienced and skilled architect with a Master’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism (AADRL) from the prestigious AA School of Architecture, London, where I explored the ideas of digital prototyping, Material research and computational designs which gave me enormous experience and exposure to the use of latest design tools in architecture. During my 3 years of professional experience as a Designer and an Architect, I was constantly involved in projects that dealt with incremental scales of design in both urban and rural contexts each of which demanded high level of standards starting from conceptual design to execution at site. The studios involved synthesis between the built and unbuilt, landscapes and structural systems. As an Architect I was responsible for Design where the design ideas were supplemented by strong background research at all stages, construction drawings, project execution, supervision and successfully involved in interacting with various parties including Clients, engineers and consultants. This experience has enriched me with better insight into planning process and management of professional relationships. Academically, I have contributed significantly to the formulation and investigation in the team’s research project and design thesis – both in empirical experimentation and digital exploration of design options, where I explored the use of combined technologies, spatial printing and robotic fabrication to transform the way spaces are designed and produced. This Knowledge is essential in the elaboration of design proposals concerned with the everyday, as it offers a deep understanding of material and social complexity in architecture and urbanism. My professional experience and academic background have contributed to my individual thought process, which helped me nurture my key strengths, giving me a mature approach to architecture and upgrading my capabilities with CAD programs and communicative skills. Architecture for me is not a subject to dip in and out of; I’m in it for the long run.CV

L O C I MASTERS THESIS PROJECT RESEARCH TEAM Aditya Bhosle Lyudmyla Semenyshyn Ramzi Omar TUTOR Shajay Bhooshan The studio research agenda explores the use of combined technologies, robotic arms and 3d printing, in the architectural design. Nowadays, numerous investigations on materials and fabrication methods have been undertaken, in order to produce printed structures. The growing interest in material research and digital fabrication is challenging the conventional approach to architecture. This dissertation aims to analyze the possibilities and limitations of spatial 3d printing, through the use of robotic arms, to transform the way livable spaces are designed and produced. The conventional approach of layer-by-layer printing method is replaced by spatial extrusion. Thus, it is essential to design a 3d printer technology and define a particular external digital control system. This will be achieved through the customization of existing industrial robotic arm technology responding to the material’s properties.

ROBOTIC END-EFFECTORS D E S I G N I N G A series of end effectors are designed through our research to automate the fabrication process based on the material behaviour and architectural intention For the customization of industrial robotic arm it is essential to design an end effector that allow the extrusion of the material following the requirements of resolution and time of printing. Furthermore, this robotic technology should be controlled through computational data. The material is meant to be extruded by the end effector also it should be able to print to at any angle. The images below show the design development of the end effector to achieve a fully automated and controlled printing tools. 1 Single nozzle manual extruder 2Multi nozzle manual extruder The multi-nozzle extruder is designed to print four filaments at the same time, it has a gear system which rotates the 4 nozzle to get a higher resolution output. The tool is designed to print at any angle in space, the print speed and the rotation to twist the material is controlled using Arduino board. The extruder has a possibility to mount filament spools, with this particular design we are able to print a 12 m long member with a resolution of four filaments. 3 Multi-nozzle PLA extruder V.01 Exploded viewStructure printing 4Multi-nozzle PLA extruder V.02

DIGITAL ANALYSIS OF TENSION BENDING CONSTRAINT STUDIES Digital Process Spatial Process Space Robotic arm in architectural research does not change the technology and mechanics of the arm instead how this tool can affect our fabrication process and built space. Robotic fabrication is thus used to address a system that is organised and entirely based on digital and material processes. Our proposal is to integrate robotic arm in our research which is based on 3D printing and material behaviour because of its inherent control, issue of zero tolerance and precision. Considering all the advantages and limitation of this tool we intend to find its purpose in the field of architectural automation, and therefore generating a structurally stable 3D printed geometries leading to a built space. A SINGLE NOZZLE END-EFFECTOR was designed to operate on a sensor, the actuation of the printing is controlled by the proximity senor, the extruder only switches on when a strand within its scanning range. The nozzle is mounted with a proximity sensor, the sensor is controlled through an Arduino board.

DESIGNING THE PROTOTYPE M A T E R I A L F A B R I C A T I O N Taking into account all the previous research on material behaviour and robotic fabrication, a prototype was designed. certain tests were performed in order to test the concept of bending, the anchor point, the control points of the material, and principally, the material integrity itself. The initial test performed at a large scale meant to prove whether the material composition of the system could actually behave as hypothesized. The conclusion achieved was to further develop the material inorder to attain more strength and stability which could be achieved by bundling. Top to Bottom approach was performed. Fabrication Process
- 11. After testing individual strand set-ups, a scaled-up networked version of those was fabricated using individual robotic arms. More precisely the length of the strands was set at 1 to 1.5m for the base segments., the length of secondary strands were set at slightly longer which is 1.4m to 1.9m. As the prototype further expands the length of primary and secondary strands increases according to the length of every individual segment. The secondary strands determines the shape of the structure. The addition of bracing in this experiment was of crucial importance due to structural performance issues. Therefore the initial setup had to be reconfigured for the reach of the robotic arm inorder to brace all the secondary members to its nearest primary member. robotic cell basic robotic setup movement in xyz plane by rails Fabrication Cell Design And Robotic Choreography production of individual segemnt that forms primary structural elements using twisting and bracing end effector expansion of each segment by bundling over the existing structural core assembling all the different segments of the structure by fusing and bundling to form a unit or cell Line Diagram Digital Simulation
- 12. D E S I G N P R O C E S S In the earlier attempts to form a design process, several strategies that through trial and error formed the current design methodology were investigated. It is essential to point out the main goals of this research so as to make the concepts behind the current process more easily understood and also demonstrate the continuity of the research analysis. A series of physical models were generated, based on design intuition and observations on the material behavior. Starting from simple setups, the fundamental structural concept of bending active structures were studies, while the initial design concepts were being generated. Essential observations were made during this stage of the research. Such as the importance of the network in opposition to the structural behavior of single elements. In this phase, the use of experimental form finding methods led to the definition of the material constraints and liberations, as well as to the perception of the design potentials of the system. The latter formed the design tools that were used in the later research. 3 point split 3 point split 4 point split 4 point split 6 point split 6 point split 9 point multiple 9 point multiple 4 point multiple 4 point multiple CONNECTION STUDIES LOOPING FORMS Physical Models Material Behaviour Digital Simulation Form Finding Geometrical Definition Design Approach

D E S I G N A P P L I C A T I O N FORM FINDING PROCESS The target is to apply all the concepts developed through material research, robotic fabrication and computational design process, to design a house. These case studies in the history of plastic architecture were looked upon analysing them based on construction, connections and expansion. The process shows the geometric evolution and the form finding process. A sequence of steps developed to achieve the geometrical possibilities. Using a unit as a form finding module. The images show how we can apply our structural system based on material behavior. The process of layer printing is used to create a surface as explained previously. The deflection analysis shows the area where the surface density need to be maximized. An aggregation of these individual modular unit results in the form finding process.

The script was based on many parameters that would generate a particle animation which could be paused at any given moment. After choosing particular frames, when the particles forms an interesting shape, a point cloud would be exported and transformed into a polymesh. Based on these polymesh, a basic low poly geometry is modelled, and finally a sequence of transformations would be applied to it, to create a complex cohesive geometry. The intricacy of images such as the ones produced by Ernst Haeckel would serve as the initial inspiration. The final step was to evaluate them as printable objects, the choice here was a laser sintering method of additive manufacturing, because of the complexity, small scale and fragility of the models. Based on a printable volume 5x5x5cms in which the geometries would be fitted inside, they were then evaluated by the printing speed and amount of material used.
