CHARLES CORREA MEMORIAL
As part of the solar decathlon entry, this project was completed in semester six. In order to make the building net zero. This project has inspired me to adopt a sustainable mindset when approaching future endeavours. By prioritizing sustainability, we not only conserve natural resources but also elevate the quality of life for residents, ushering in an era of enhanced wellbeing and environmental stewardship.

or Coexistence is not a passive state but an active choice. It is a symphony in which each note matters, and discordant tones can disrupt the harmony. We must be caretakers, not conquerors.
We must listen to the whispers of the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the songs of birds, for in their voices, we nd the wisdom of ages.
The design focuses on the coexistence of humans, animals, and nature that shapes the very essence of our existence on this planet.
The structure itself is developed in such a manner that it would appear as if it is EMBRACING the surrounding context.
Steps Given at edge in order to have recreational activity such as shing and reading.
Viewing deck provided at higher level to get the Overall view of the context.
-Rocks to sit -Prevents Water From coming in. -Add Aesthetic quality to edge without intervening with natural water edge.

The creation of working drawings stands as an integral component of any project, epitomizing the bridge between imagination and reality. Every detail, from the foundation to the selection of hinge materials, is meticulously considered and rendered with precision. These drawings serve as the blueprint that transforms vision into tangible form, ensuring that every aspect of the construction aligns with our vision for an inspiring and functional space.

Section BB’Shunya represents the vast void, a great Emptiness, limitless, timeless and lightless principle that sits in the supreme state of awareness where everything comes to nothingness before being created anew. This project, dedicated to Charles Correa, sits in a stony silence of meditation as if to remain in Zero state and achieve a higher state of consciousness. The structure amidst owing water resembles a circle, that is symbolic of eternity, evolution and innity.
Charles Correa believed that it was more vital to create experiences than anything else. The human element permeates all of architecture.
In architecture, people are omnipresent People's perspectives on the world are altered by human-centred architecture.
Charles Correa believed that it was more vital to create experiences than anything else. The human element permeates all of architecture. The project's primary objective was to evoke an initial sense of Charles Correa's absence, only to subsequently immerse individuals in an experiential journey that celebrates and invokes his memory through the captivating essence of the structure.
Prakruthi - The original or natural form or condition of anything, original or primary substance
Water is the source of life, and it is necessary for the completion of every single work.
The existence of all life forms on Earth facilitates creation and learning.
We have endless space on Earth; it is up to us to decide how to use it.
Every living thing depends on air. The intangible caress of nature.
Concluding the journey by amalgamating the fruits of my labor from elective courses, sketch sessions, and various other activities that have collectively sculpted me into the individual I am today.
