Incubated in universities and perpetuated once graduates reach practice, the tendency to overwork is currently the subject of much discussion  - but while there may be hints that change is afoot, it's unlikely to take place overnight. In the meantime, what can a stressed-out architect do to reduce their work hours to something more reasonable?  Originally published by ArchSmarter , this post explores how to become a more effective architect - allowing you to win back some of that lost time by maximizing efficiency and minimizing unnecessary work.  “What’s that smudge in the middle of your drawing? Is that part of your concept?” the juror asked me. “Um... ” I replied as I squinted at the drawing. “I think that’s from my nose. I haven’t slept in like... two days. I konke...

One of the most important things for this project was the sustainability and climatic control of the building, to try to decree the interior temperature in relation with the high temperatures in Burkina Faso.  Read in : http://cargocollective.com/mireiacruzaliguer/Ragussi-Association-Center

  THE HINDU : Article 26, June 2015 Think of Kerala, and it’s not just natural beauty that comes to mind, but the way the State has preserved its past. In fact, if one wants to hear lovely old Tamil words such as thaazhkol (key) and uduppu (clothes), being used in everyday conversation, one has to go to Kerala. But on a visit to Kerala some years ago, this writer noticed the strident march of modernism in quite a few places, with graceful homes being replaced by ‘modern’ ones in hideous shades of purple and pink. And one couldn’t help wondering if Kerala too was losing its grip over tradition. “Not so,” says architect Benny Kuriakose. “Although we do keep losing a bit of the past everyday, today there is a lot more awareness about heritage.

I rendered these two models in Sketchup for a house design. Thinking about the facade of a building both in night and day helps a lot to detail out a design. 

I tried to detail out a stilt floor parking of an apartment project ….. still going on …. project has reached scheme stage 2 ….. will keep posting :)

Resort design this semester was really a challenging one. This is my clubhouse in my resort. Its located on a contour site and I have tried to reduce the footprint of the block to max two contours to as to minimize cut and fill. Maintaining view for all parts of the building is the core Idea.

Fast sketch, I did this sketch in Mill Owners Association building designed by Ar. Le Corb. Very inspiring building. This sketch portrays the roof terrace of the building.

My sketch tracing the history of Chennai ( Madras ). Attended a competition held by INTACH focusing on the heritage of Madras. Nice to have such an experience in the campus of engineering, Guindy. Which by itself a heritage structure built on 1920. Hoping to do more in future :)
