The housing project in Sem IV involved designing a 1200 sq.ft villa, among other types of residential units such as apartments and row houses. The site was assumed to be in a hot and humid region. The climate has been addressed by providing a double height for living and dining areas for ventilation through stack effect and vertical louvres along the main staircase. Car parking area is partially covered to protect the car from rusting due to high humidity.```

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.

7MULTI-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.

8SUSTAINABLE RESIDENCE IN SHIVAJINAGAR
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 self-sufficient 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.

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 formed around the arches (tubular space frame). There is a skylight supported by a ring beam and held in tension by cables attached to supports that are attached to the ground.

17DOCUMENTATION 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 India’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.
At certain times of the day, such as mornings and evenings, the street transforms into a gathering space for housewives and children. The street is also part of the route for processions from the temple.
Documentation was done in groups of three. Each group was given a building which had to be measured drawn.

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 BDA have rehabilitated some lakes (Eg. Yediyur lake in Jayanagar) purely from the standpoint of civil engineer's vision as mere water storing aquifers. As a consequence the ecological functionality of 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.

Accumulated Sludge Almost all small and big tanks in the Bangalore Urban District have become sewage disposal tanks. Layers of water hyacinth, filth and sewage accumulate on the surface, forming superficial islands, reducing oxygen levels in the water and making it toxic for aquatic life.

Sewage lines
A diversion canal was built leading downstream. The upstream sewage flow from all the residential layouts nearby now bypasses the lake and flows into the canal and then into Nagavara. Ideally, it should have gone into a sewage treatment plant, but this was done as a temporary arrangement.
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.
A wetland system was created within Hebbal lake, whereplastics, bottles and large objects can be removed throughfiltration. Biological purification was achived using hydrophyticplants which absorb dissolved pollutants and toxins. Thewetland also acts as a silt trap. There are vents from whichwater can flow from a certain height to the main lake. Thisensures that relatively clean water is made cleaner.
