At the top of the lighthouse is a viewing terrace (28m above ground level of site) which gives a bird’s eye view of Commercial Street, M G Road, Metro Station, Parade Ground, etc. This space would be especially active after sunset, when the viewer can see the nightlife in the downtown area which is wondrous to behold.
The main design project in Sem III was a Heritage Information Centre. It was to be a one-stop information centre for tourists and other visitors. The building also had exhibition spaces and an NORTH-EAST ELEVATION auditorium. The subject of the exhibitions was “The Heritage of Bangalore”. The most important space was the Urban Space, which was a multi-purpose space, open to the public, where events such as Bangalore Habba could take place.

The brief was to design a hi-tech institute for innovation in industrial-related products. The program included academic and residential spaces, along with a recreational centre for the students. The campus also housed state-of-the-art research labs and a pilot plant. The most significant building in the campus was to be the innovation centre, which would be the public interface between the students and the visitors, industrialists, businessmen, recruiters, etc. A peculiar feature of the site given was a 6m high solid rock outcrop in the centre of the site. This has been addressed by making it the central interactive space for students and connecting space between the academic block, innovation centre and auditorium.

MULTI-MODAL TRANSIT STATION The design project was a multi-modal transit station opposite to the Byappanahalli Metro Terminal Station. The building acts as an intersection point for various modes of transportation such as inter-state and BMTC buses, Metro trains, Railways, taxis, autos and other private vehicles. The building needed to be provided with ancillary functions such as Multi-level car parking, small hotel, bus repair bays, ambulance parking, etc. The building also has large commercial and office spaces to support the transit station. The two main built structures are the Transit Station and the Multi-level car park. The green edge on the front of the site becomes a public space for those using the transit station as well as for those living in the surrounding residential areas. Transit station

SUSTAINABLE RESIDENCE IN SHIVAJINAGAR A
The brief was to design a sustainable residence in Shivajinagar, Bangalore in a site roughly measuring 30’X 50’. It was to have zero discharge in terms of sewage and waste. The house was to be selfsufficient with respect to power requirements and water consumption. The design employs passive cooling, stack effect, daylighting, open greens and terrace gardens for natural ventilation and light. The power consumption is reduced through use of energy-saving appliances and fixtures. The house generates its own electricity with the help of roof-mounted solar panels. Waste water is treated on site and converted to grey water which can be used for gardening.
ATRIUM WITH SKYLIGHT The stairwell has a skylight on the topmost floor. It acts as a light well and atrium for the residence.
UTILITY AREA
BIOGAS PLANT It reduces LPG consumption by half. The input for the digester is kitchen waste . Once the entire mass gets digested, it is converted into a rich liquid manure.
SOLAR PANEL Asloping roof facing true south is clad with solar panels which will produce the required energy for the house.
Treated water for gardening
STP under bathroom
Filter only for kitchen sink water
RECHARGE WELL Pit with layers of sand and gravel which filters rain water and leads into a tank.

The shell structure uses a tensile and a pneumatic element in combination. A system of space frames is used to form the basic structural framework. The smaller portion of the structure uses a system of reinforced arches and is enveloped by a ferro-cement covering. The load acting on the main portion of the structure is taken up by ring beams f ormed around the arches (tubular space f rame). There is a skylight supported by a ring beam and held in tension by cables attached to supports that are attached to the ground. LONGITUDINAL SECTION

Architectural Documentation Of Gavipuram

Gavipuram is a century-old settlement near the Basavangudi area of Bangalore, currently occupied by Lingayat Brahmins. Only a small portion of the Agrahara, consisting of five houses, a temple, a rest area for pilgrims and a school, remains as the surroundings have begun to modernize. Hence, it was important that the settlement be documented before it started modernizing too. The documentation process was conducted and guided by INTACH, a non-profit organisation which carries out documentation of I ndia’s rich architectural heritage. The dwellings are clustered closely around an L-shaped street that leads from the temple to the main street over a hillock. The houses are built in the manner of row houses. The buildings are of stone and brick with a trabeated system of stone columns and beams. Other features of these dwellings include clerestories, stone gutters and ornamental cornices.

RESEARCH ON HEBBAL LAKE, BANGALORE Hebbal lake in Bangalore was researched and surveyed for Urban Planning group assignment. The task involved studying the ecological degradation and rejuvenation, catchment pattern, flora and fauna, treatment of lake edge and lake sections.
Sewage lines
Most lakes in Bangalore are being polluted and encroached in blatant disregard of the recommendations of the Lakshman Rao Committee and various orders of this Hon'ble Court and the Supreme Court of India. BBMP and BDAhave rehabilitated some lakes (Eg. Yediyur lake in Jayanagar) purely from the standpoint of civil engineer's vision as mere water storing aquifers. As a consequencethe ecological functionalityof such rehabilitated lakes has been disastrously interfered with, or worse, destroyed. Thus requiring, wholly unnecessarily, high maintenance costs to keep the lake waters from turning eutrophic. Besides such engineering efforts have discarded various traditional and cultural rights that helped protect and conserve lakes. The Hebbal lake was one such lake in the city. The 64.5 hectare lake at Hebbal was putrefied, covered with water hyacinth and had no visible water sheet. Domestic sewage discharge from all the nearby residential layouts was heavy, leading to water hyacinth growth. Water recharged into the ground was full of contaminants, including heavy metals.

Almost allsmalland big tanks in the Bangalore Urban District have become sewage disposaltanks. Layers of water hyacinth, filth and sewage accumulate on the surface, forming superficialislands, reducing oxygen levels in the water and making it toxic for aquatic life.
During 1990 – 2010 there was energetic effort on the part of the Karnataka Forest Department to recover encroached lake lands and to restore many lakes in and around Bangalore. The early part of last decade also witnessed the Dept. of Ecology and Environment taking initiative through the Indo Norwegian Environment Programme (INEP) to intelligently rehabilitate Hebbal, Agara and Nagawara lakes. INEP supported the rejuvenation of three lakes in the City: Hebbal, Madiwala and Dodda Bommasandra near Vidyaranyapura.

Restoration started with the identification of the source and entry points of sewage discharged into the lake showed that domestic sewage discharge was heavy, leading to water hyacinth growth. Water recharged into the ground was full of contaminants, including heavy metals. The lake was isolated from the sewage and the storm water flow was regulated. The lake bed was desilted and the removed accumulated sludge and sediments were used to create a jogging track of 7 km with this silt. This was topped with good soil and planted with ornamental plants, grass etc. Desilting also helped to recharge borewells in the vicinity.
The two artificial islands created in 1988 now act as breeding and nesting grounds for various aquatic birds who add to the scenery here.

Awetland system was created within Hebbal lake, where plastics, bottles and large objects can be removed through filtration. Biological purification was achived using hydrophytic plants which absorb dissolved pollutants and toxins. The wetland also acts as a silt trap. There are vents from which water can flow from a certain height to the main lake. This ensures that relatively clean water is made cleaner.
