ARTIST WORKSHOP CORRIDOR

Typically a campus is visualised to be a vast dry land with blocks of buildings and row of classrooms with a dull & gloomy corridors. This stereotype had to be broken.

Therfore imperial arts & science college is desgined to include numerous common areas for gatherings and disscusions which are well lit and ventilated not compromising on the green factor.Eco brutalism was used as the main concept following the use of green punctures in the block which creates thermal comfort and brings in abundant light and ventilation through the pockets of spaces and multi-level ots which created an interest in play of level in the desgin. Strong importance was given to encourge the students to interact within the blocks and around the campus, which is experienced when student commute around the campus . The centre being the heart of the campus attracts a lot of students through the day .

Situated in a prime location, A node in Ashok Nagar, this sure stands out as a landmark because of its rich landscaping and bold facade.

This low rise structure is aimed towards people who want the luxury of a private home in an apartment. This flat can fit any category, from duplex to three bedrooms. It is designed in such a way that it creates a sense of openness while maintaining green space and breathtaking views. The double-height living room emphasises the necessity of being together. The rooms are designated to persuade the users.

It’s well connected between blocks encouraging more social interactions and has well equiped amenities at the top level.

The seggerigated osr is used as a park which also acts as a frontage to the block with the duplex.
