Personal Work

After my first year of foundation I did a full time

paid internship at Future Research Design

Company, Bangalore, for a period of eight weeks

in 2013 summer. I worked on the Samsung Retail

Stores project and did the site visits and the

recce drawings and the civil docket using

AutoCAD. I worked on more than twenty sites in

South India under the guidance of the team

leader.

During my third year at college, I had some free

time between classes so I paid a visit to my boss

at FRDC for a part time job opportunity. I worked

with the firm again for a period of six months

(September 2014 – February 2015). GVK, Not Just

Wine and Cheese and ISKCON were the primary

projects I was working on along side Studio West

and a residence project. During this time I worked

on concepts, mood boards, plans, fixture designs,

material boards, vendor meeting, presentations,

site visits and 3D models.

FURNITURE AND SPATIAL DESIGN

INTERNSHIP

AutoCad Drawings (Samsung), Mood Borad and Persona Building (ISKCON) and Material Board (Studio West)

Design for disabled was our third semester

project wherein we started off with the research

of the disability assigned to each student and

then made the following-

• Adjacency matrix

• Bubble diagram

• Zoning

• Mood board

We were given a site to measure in Foot and

Inches and then made a site analysis report.

After that we used AutoCAD to make:

• Floor plan

• Furniture plan (nine iterations)

• Sections

• Lighting plan

• Reflected ceiling plan

• Electrical plan

Manual rendering was done to the layouts to

understand the materials we wanted to use for

the flooring and the furniture and why.

The sections were rendered to understand the

layout in a different perspective.

LIVING SPACES (COLLEGE PROJECT IN SECOND YEAR)

1) Residential Space Design

The assignment was to plan a house for a twenty

four year old bachelor who decides to stay in this

house for a couple of years before getting

married. He has friends coming over on every

weekend. He works throughout the week and

parties like an animal on weekends.

2) Case Study

Our assignment was to do a case study of an office

space (Siemens Office in Bangalore on Hosur Road)

and understand the planning of the space and the

materials used. We looked at reception area, the

work space, orientation room, discussion room,

cafeteria and more.

3) Time Problem

Everyone was given two and a half days to come

up with a concept for an office space, make

personas and do it’s planning. The space

dimensions were given to us.

The abstract of this project was to redesign or

improve the existing scenario of a public space

(Orion mall, retail space and the NES bus stop at

Yelahanka in Bangalore) for the betterment of its

users. Since it was a FSD project (furniture and

spatial design) we had to look at space planning,

ergonomics, anthropometrics of the space and the

existing culture surrounding it.

A group of four members including myself were

assigned the NES bus stop. Collectively we worked

on the:

• Case Studies

• Analysis and Inference Report

• 1st step of conceptualisation

Taking a step forward, we were divided into two

groups of two members each as we wanted to

work on two different concepts. Khyati (a second

year student doing her first semester at Srishti)

and my concept was to introduce an interactive

bus route information element and increase the

resting area for its daily users. After yet another

brain storming and conceptualisation session we

finalised on working with only the railing and

incorporating our three main design concepts.

PUBLIC SPACE INTERVENTION (PROJECT IN THE THIRD YEAR)

We took it ahead in the form of-

• Design brief (Individual)

• Sketches (both worked together)

• Ergonomics and Dimensioning (individual)

• Design (individual)

• 3D Modelling stage one (both)

• 3D Modelling stage two (both)

• 3D Modelling final stage (Khyati did the

seating and the railing 1:20 model and I did

the bus route interactive element 1:1 model)

• Project Documentation (Individual)

At the end of fifteen sleepless days of the

charette, we received good feedback from

everyone during the exhibition.

Figuring out mechanisms, 1:1 scale drawing and detailing, final prototype of the bus stop railing along with seating in 1:20 scale and the final 1:1 scale prototype of the bus route information interactive element.

The course was divided into three main aspects:

• Quiz on History of Opera ( third place)

• Study of two scenographies of Operas from

different time periods

I worked on “La Traviata”, film version and La

Traviata 2006 at Salsbury .

• Maquette

The final submission was to design a set for a

theatre script extracted from a short story or an

original play script like La Traviata, Macbeth etc,

and a photography narrative shoot with different

lighting for the scenes.

I read “Kaaki”, a short story written by

Premchand. My primary concern after reading it

was that whatever the audience sees, it is sort of

in the form of 2D as they can’t really see much of

what is happening behind. So to fit a room, the

house, kitchen, dining area and the outdoor

seating in a linear manner became a little

challenging. On receiving the feedback, before I

started constructing the maquette, I got more

clarity on how to make more 3D and playful. Some

parts of the play could be represented

metaphorically as well. I made a 1:20 scale model

out of foam board.

SCENOGRAPHY (COURSE IN THIRD YEAR)

Full Documentation- http://www.slideshare.net/AmeeshiGoenka/scenography-46899200

Kaaki Story, Basic Scenography Sketch, Set Design and Different Lighting Effects during the Play.

The course was primarily about sketching,

ideating, technical drawings, modelling and

making a final functional prototype. Every

assignment was individually done. I worked on:

• Pen Stand (requirement brief given;

sketching, ideating and modelling)

• Stool (sketching, ideating, measurement

detailing, and modelling)

• Chair (the assignment was to make a

furniture with more than one function; I

made a chair for a college student with

semi-reclining back rest, foldable table,

flexible leg rest and storage space. Focused

on research, sketching, measurement

detailing and modelling.)

• Wine Table trolley

We could chose any simple furniture we wanted

to make. I wrote a design brief from a client for

the requirement of a wine trolley table and took

that forward. Made several sketches for the

form, did intense research, did several detailed

drawings, worked on the materials to use, made

many models and finally made the working

prototype in the college workshop in two and a

half days and got a good feedback.

ART AND SCIENCE OF LIGHTING (WORKSHOP IN THIRD YEAR)

During this course we did a lot of theory on

different lighting systems, how to use a lux meter,

several presentations, market research and few

experiments on product lighting.

Our main focus was on making the luminaire. It

was an individual assignment and we were given

the last three days of the workshop to make a

sketch, get the materials and have a functioning

LED luminaire ready for submission at the end of

the last day.

My concept was to make a lighting piece for a pub

or bar counter table. I initially wanted to use

more than one colour of LED lighting but that

made it look really cheap and wasn’t appealing.

I made use of wood to make the frame, hand

made paper on which I cut out the lettering,

gateway sheet for the even diffusion of light and

red LED strip of 1.5m in length.

In a dark room it illuminates it was blood red and

in a brighter room you can see the texture of the

paper and the golden frame.

The main purpose of the base of the frame is for

the bartender to place the drinks on it and then

light up the sign saying “Drink it UP”.

TEXTILE

HISTORY OF ART AND SHIBORI

(COURSE IN FIRST YEAR AND WORKSHOP IN SECOND YEAR)

The course abstract

was to pick an artist

and understand his

art work and

methods in depth

and reconstruct the

same. I chose Pierre

Auguste Renoir and

deconstructed his

painting of a bather

and reconstructed

the same using

different fabrics. Shibori, a skill based workshop. Dyed cotton

and silk fabrics. My final piece was a silk scarf.

RUG MAKING AND PLY SPLIT BRAIDING

(WORKSHOPIN SECOND AND THIRD YEAR)

Full Documentation- http://www.slideshare.net/AmeeshiGoenka/rug-making-documentation

Weaving, a skill

developing workshop

wherein I made a long

mat (wool and paper) on

the loom and a wall

hanging (design inspired

by Razza) on a wooden

frame using only wool.

The process of manually

making it was addictive.

Ply split braiding, a skill

developing workshop in

which we learnt to make

braids out of four to eight

strings and the three

main knotting or ply

weaving techniques. We

used different types of

cords and material. Our

main learning was giving

something a 3D shape

without a mold.

PRODUCT DESIGN

INTRODUCTION TO RHINO AND TECHNICAL DRAWING

(COURSES IN SECOND YEAR)

Introduction to Rhino was exploring

the software and the various forms

we could make with it. My final

drawing was a lighter as it had to be

done very carefully in detail.

I took technical

drawing to learn to

represent my

product and

furniture ideas

through drawings

and dimensions.

DRAWING FOR IDEATION (COURSE IN SECOND YEAR)

Drawing for ideation was an extremely hand-

eye-coordination intensive course. We had an

open book, skill test after we practised

isometry for four days. The iron on the

isometry grid was done for the same. Soon

after, we started practicing perspective

drawings. All of us were meant to spend at

least two to four hours on each object

drawing. I drew the Bosch machine, two

views of the yellow headphones with

ideations and a shoe with ideations around it.

For the final submission, I drew and rendered

a portable water purifier jug. I used water

colour pencils and marker for rendering.

WALL MURAL

WALL CALL AND HISTORY OF DESIGN

(PROJECT AND COURSE IN THE FIRST YEAR)

The main intention of wall call was

conceptualization, stencilling, use of waste

materials for aesthetic appeal and texturing.

We created this as a gesture of appreciation to

the Dry Waste Collection Centre.

In this course, we did a research on design

inventions and created a time line which took

the form of a wall mural as final submission.
