STATEMENT
Hello, My name is Karan Jain and I am an architectural student
studying at School Of Planning and Architecture,New Delhi.
These 3 years in my architectural design journey I have developed
particular interests in structures and having a hands on approach at
building things.
Learning from the works of Mahendra Raj, Pier Luigi Nervi,Frei Otto,
Cecil Balmond, Buckminster Fuller ,and the renowned firm Arup,I have
developed keen interest in structures and construction.
I have heavily invested my time in developing my computational
design skills but I see a huge gap in my knowlegde connecting the
digital and real .During my internship, I intend to work on bridging this
gap and aspire to follow in the footsteps of master builders of the last
decades.

1 ARRIVAL
SEMESTER 6
JAN-FEB 2023
TEAM OF 2(Vishwal ,Karan)
When asking the question, what is a 5G pavilion that supposed to be
made of bamboo, as an architect one instantly draws comparisons to
the premise of ‘The Museum of the Future’.
Such a building, although a museum should symbolise what could be
rather than what has been, and so an architectural response, given
that an exhibit of the future should be ever changing as is the future,
would be a form that makes people question its feasibility, a dynamic
between the built form and the earth that represents the implications
of a fast and efficient wireless connections.
The heart of the brief being the use of bamboo as the main material
came as a boon as bamboo’s structural properties were very synonymous
to the principles of ‘Tensegrity’, a structural system devised
by Frei Otto which banks on the phrase “ Tensile integrity”; a perfect
balance between tensile push and pull.
The allowed us to achieve a product that mimicked heavy floating solids
that would represent the overall pursuit of 5G i.e. being free from
physical tethers at the most complex scale, allowing more intricate
activities to be
achieved without the presence of a physical connecting medium.

Karan Jain
What Will The Future Look Like?
The main inspiration for the final product can be seen in the movie ’Arrival’ wherein one
sees aliens arriving to earth on these heavy elongated spherical masses.
The concept evolved out of the thought “we don’t know how tech and the internet
could evolve to look like, so the interpretation of it should be equally perplexing
and ambiguous.”
How Do We Achieve A Levitating Structure?
Imagine a floating sculpture - the rods push outward, while cables pull inward.
Bamboo offers an ‘excellent tensile strength’ and combining various radii of bamboo
members we can achieve desired compressive strength. The entire way of constructing
bamboo structure was rethought again ,rationalizing all the forces into compression and
tension and the use of ‘hybrid tensegrity’ structures was devised.
The intermediate space is occupied by the visitors hence proposing a futuristic structure
by using the local materials.

Karan Jain
How To Visualise Complex Tensegrity Structures ?
Both modeling and computational analysis was done to analyze the stability of the structure using grasshopper as the
medium of choice for both modeling and computational analysis.
Experimenting with a single module using kite string for tension,reed sticks as compressive members that can be bent
easily without losing any strength and rubber bands where tension can be varied.
This experiment also suggested the structure being ‘seismically stable’.
A fully parametric script was developed to realize the form,which takes two input base curves along which all the
bamboo compressive members come,

COMPETITION
DEC 2022
TEAM OF 2(Vishwal ,Karan)
Transparence is a yearly competition hosted by ethos, the briefs typically
have an overarching goal of sustainability in mind. For this year the brief
highlighed the waste of land in relation to run down airstips, these are
narrow and large pieces of land that are left unused after their ability to
fulfill a purpose runs out
.
The goal of the brief was to ask how would this land can be reused,
and even after being reused, can one develope a solution that dosent
go to waste as did the original airstrip itself? how would a reversible
architecture solution look like?
To answer these questions first one had to decide the function that
would inhabit the strip.
‘AN AGRICULTURE & FOOD SCIENCES
INCUBATION CENTRE FOR DEVELOPING IDEAS
AND INVENTIONS’
In response to the need of a reversible building, a modular hive-like
systemof truncated octahedrons, chosen for having all vertices of
equal lengths, all of which are suspended under 6 tensegrity based,
deconstructible arches.
The modules are meant to be reprogrammed and repurposed and the
arches

The airstrip is located around a slew of farms and a complete lack of research infrastructure.
Introducing an ‘incubation centre’ here would lead to percolation of relevant knowledge and motivation to

LIVING TENSEGRITY
Research And Exploration
As Buckminster Fuller defines
‘Islands Of Compression in an Ocean of Tension’
tensegrity in principle is explored in varied ways possible as it peeked
my interest due to it being transformable,reusable,deployable.
From small prototypes volleyball court installtion ,interesting
grasshopper scripts/plugin have been developed as part of improving
understanding of tensegrity and its potential at different scales.
As Part of my portfolio I am sharing tensegrity related grasshopper

Student Housing
COMPETITION
Honorable Mention
JUNE 2022
TEAM OF 2(Vishwal ,Karan)
This competition gave the opportunity to redesign and redefine
student housing, so as a student this became quite a personal project.
The challenge was to design a student housing complex in Noida,
Uttar Pradesh, India which has 150 units along with amenities such
as convenience stores, libraries, sports facilities and a common mess/
eating area.
The final product provided additional amenities such as a laundromat,
pharmacy ,barber and an informal ‘under yard’ for every unit.
The emphasis for the unit design was put on how to give value to
the amount being invested by the student while also maintaining the
quality of facility for all the types of
units.
The planning was done horizontally rather than vertically, giving each
unit the feeling of an individual house rather than an appartment giving
students a sense of belonging after coming from far away places.
The design also emphasises community and social melding, having to
co-operate to use amenities.

optional social dialogue.

Selected Works(2020-2023)
The nature of the units and by
result the entire design is meant
to be constructed by the means
of prefabrication, allowing for fast
construction and lowering the cost
of the entire project, enticing the
connected institutions to allow
for a lower price making the stay
here an amenity rather than a
luxury.
A problem in most student
housings in Delhi is the lack
of effective, cheap ventilation
that is natural and consistent.
To solve this, a system of wind
catchers fitted with low energy
fans that are solar powered
are used, there funnel air
underground to be cooled
naturally and then distributed to
every unit.

Karan Jain
How Can We Design Housing Units For Students
Differently?
Every unit is designed with the consideration of having 2 floors, for minimal ground
coverage while having highly economical spaces, giving residents the feel of territory.
There are 2 variations for each unit type.

All units are arranged in ‘Tetris-like clusters’ promoting interactions within different unit types, each cluster has
a dedicated common space for communal gathering. Clusters are then placed nest to each other at staggered

SEMESTER 7
(Work In Progress)
TEAM OF 3(Vishwal ,Karan,Shreyash)
As part of our optional design studio I chose Hospital where the
brief was to design a ESIC(Employees’ State Insurance Corporation )
Multispeciality 500 bed hospital in
Manesar ,Haryana. Working as a team designing a hospital
I not only understood hospital stacking and functioning of
departments but also understood the need of privacy,sepsis and
asepsis,unidirectional circulation and many practicalities
such as staff needed to maintain the space we design.
“Because the only certainty in health care is change”
Hospital need to adapt and evolve faster than any typology
which was a input that COVID-19 Pandemic gave us.
In this project the majority of the work I handled was working
the conceptual stage ,massing,Emergency,LDR,ICU,Blood Bank
plans,Landscaping,
Modeling and Drafting was done in Revit .I handled modeling the
facade and finishing up the modeling ,detailing it out to get desired
sections and elevations and setting it up for rendering in Twinmotion.
