SITE CONTEXT• • • •

Location- Jhirpani, Rourkela Built Up Area -1749.5 sqm Plot Area -5034 sqm FAR- 0.3

The site is a silent space with trees and a pond covering the south west corner.

CONCEPT (CLUSTERING)

Spaces are grouped randomly but with close visual or physical proximity to each other.

Spaces of similar porposes are clustered in a close proximity for the ease of the users.

Accessible from north and west direction but Aroad is proposed from the south keeping the location of the residential areas in mind.

Diksha night school is meant for providing education to tribal people of the rural areas of Rourkela, This includes people of every age group who are deprived of education.

The pedagogy is decided while keeping the background and age groups of the stakeholders to make education easier for them.

Teaching through pattachitra(A traditional cloth based scroll painting of Odisha and Bengal) would benifit the stakeholders as they would find this process interesting and close to home.

Special spaces are provided for holding the pattachitra events(on a weekly basis) at night where all the people of age groups can gather and interact.

5TH SEMISTER 20

INTRODUCTION We made this project during our 6th semester. we were asked to pick up a movie or novel of our choice and design the interiors of an already existing cafe in our campus, which will be inspired by the same. The plan of the cafe was provided to us and were restricted to only the interior design part, meaning we could not make any changes in the plan.

INSPIRATION

INSIDE

OUTSIDE

I tried replicate the house of the family depicted in the movie, The lamps , Furniture , tiles everything is inspired from the scenes of the mentioned movie and traditional colombian elements.

But the drama has been maintained in the inside of the resturant to convey the the story of Bruno while outside is kept cheerful and casual I wanted my design to tell the story.

21

INTERIOR for the interior part rough exposed stone texture, cyan coloured doors has been provided to imitate the interiors of casita and show the drama inspired by Bruno’s tragic life at the same time.

design of the furniture is also made while keeping the story which is to be represented, arches are provided in the transition spaces .

Opposite walls are cladded with dark wood and dim and bracket lights are provided to create a cosy yet mysterious ambience.

EXTERIOR The exteriors of the cafe is a open space with pergola that is covered with flowering green elements, the outside is kept a bit casual with less complicated furnitures.

fairy lights are tangled with the green bush on the pergola to create the magic of the movie encanto. also the tiles used here are detachable tiles which replicated the dancing tiles of the movie.

5TH SEMISTER 26

SITE CONTEXT• Location- Howrah,West bengal • Built Up Area -864 sqm • Plot Area -2035 sqm

The site is situated on the banks of Ganga facing the Howrah bridge. The site has two pre existing jetties.

As the ferry terminal is meant to act as the gateway to Kolkata,The main motive of the design was to give the visitors an essence of Kolkata through its aesthetics and form.

The main terminal block is made by combining the shape of a wave(the roof using tensile structures) and the howrah bridge (the glass opening) Red bricks are used in the facade to reflect the aesthetics of the signature buildings of Kolkata from the colonial times. crowd management is done utilising the opsition of the pre-existing jetties( two in number) recreational areas are given besides the main building with sitting spaces and a pergola made of tensile structure which makes the space aesthetically pleasing.

N

27

The spaces designed on the site accept the main building are the recreational area and the jetties.

The existing jetties are adorned with steel railings and suffecient lights to guide the ways of the ferrys at night.

The recreational area is covered with tensile structure and landscaping is done allowing the passengers to access the place easily.

Causes of Damage Falsely done orientation Low bearing capacity of soil.Thus the building is getting stteled in the soil.

Horizontal elements are not present to support tall walls.

Metro construction and earthquakes caused the generation of cracks in the walls and the arches of the cathedral.

Tilting of the arch and crack generation

Unresolved problems

Solutions Stapling was done for the bigger cracks.

The Conservator's attitude on Conserving the Cathedral

the cracks were thouroghly analized (using ultrasonic sounds and crack gauges.

micro grouting with epoxy was done to fill the cracks.

filing the gap to fix the glass

The wall with the main arch is gradually tilting inwards Also there are cracks formed in the main arch Grouting could be done to save the wall but it would affect the mosaics on the wall

Reason

The glass fixed in the wall was imported from England, which was a bit smaller than the arch opening ,The gap formed because of this was filed to fix the glass in the wall,thus it became prone to cracks

Ref: “st.pauls – H.Guha.” st.pauls – H.Guha, hguha.soln.in/index.php/st-pauls. Accessed 17 Dec. 2022. ,

Dr. Himadri Guha is a self employed Civil Engineer in Kolkata He tries to repair the building, keeping the original essence of the building alive For example he is trying to save the mosaics through the conservation process

Interview with Dr.Himadri Guha at St.Paul'sCathedral,29thoctober,2022

Possible solution According to the conservator, a strong team should be formed having a mosaic expert, so that the mosaics can be saved during the grouting process
