BINNY MILLS __CONVERSION - Documentation-Analysis and Re-design
ADAPTIVE RE-USE PROJECT COMPETITION| TEAM WORK OBJECTIVE: The project brief was to select a plotted building in the traditional part of an Indian city. Imagining that the building on it shall either be torn down due to economic liabilities, or structural or services obsolescence the team was asked to come up with a new programme for the existing site and its conditions and to design the new project in the most sustianable way. DATA: Binny Mills, which is a 150 acres site in the middle of Chennai now lies unused and we proposed to build a film school which housed classrooms,administrative facilities, cafe, dorms recreational spaces etc. By taking up sustainable techniques such as rain-water harvesting, and daylight control, the best optimum design was achieved.
