The intent of the project was to understand the term ‘sustainable’. The term could be extended to sustainablity - not just in climate, but in materials, design, standard of living, and in providing a means of livelihood. The brief was to design for a cottage industry in the rural town of Anegundi, keeping in mind the historical significance of the place. The space was to be used for the production of crafts using natural materials like bamboo, water hyacinth and tamarind. The building was designed to be climate responsive, while aiming to source the resources from the nearby villages, thereby providing a means of livelihood for the people. The placement and designing of the blocks was done with respect to the site and climate.

Established in 1997 by Shama Pawar, the intent of the trust was to empower the women of the local village by training them making crafts using locally sourced materials - water hyacinth and bamboo. These products are then sold through their through stalls in exhibitions thereby providing a means of livelihood all the while ensuring that zero products are left behind waste. Another way of empowering the local community was through the restoration of heritage buildings and performing

The brief was to design a primary school keeping in mind the relation between the built and the unbuilt. The students were encouraged to think beyond the mundane four walls and istead come up with an alternative solution. Inspiration was drawn from case studies in creating a street like quality for the corridor and classroom layout, as well as trying to build a connection with the site. The school was also designed keeping in mind the spaces that could be used by the community after school hours.

The program was introduced with a case study on 33rd Lane House by Geoffrey Bawa. The idea was to draw inspiration from the case study and to understand if the key ideas could be applied in the design process. The intent was to create a public library for the people of Srirangapatna. The space in the rear end was designed to engage with the residential area. An important question to be addressed was how does one define the publicness of a space? The design process included the need to identify an activity as private or public and assign spaces according to it.
SITE AREA: 1,800 sqm

The house was originally a row of four houses. Bawa had bought only one house and had remodelled it. Over the years he bought all four and made it a single unit with an additional two floors in the front of the house. The house is a labyrinth of spaces and gardens. The outside meets the inside leaving one to define what they term as the outside, inside, roof and rooms. In the above picture the room spills onto the adjoining garden creating the image of a limitless space.
CONNECT BETWEEN SPACES
KEY IDEAS
Identifying and segregating spaces as private and public.
Reading as well as studying/ working considered as private activity with other communal activities as public.
Context is not just limited to the surroundings but rather to the scale of neighboring buildings which in this case was mostly G or G+. It also means reacting to the lifestyle and climate of the area while meeting the spatial requirements of the building.
Identifying spaces as open, semi open and closed
Classifying spaces as public and intimate- identifying the activity of reading/working as an intimate aactivity thus requiring space of a proportionate scale
Located in Srirangapatna, Karnataka it was important to pay attention to the climatic conditions as well as ensure that it meets the requirements of the design. The material palette was selected to ensure that it meets and provides cilmatic relief and is easy to obtain. Apart from the library other spaces were added to enrich the experience. Keeping in mind the two roads and the activities in each of them it wass necessary to place the entrances and the activities accordingly.

The project brief encourages the students to question the term ‘community’- what is a community, who forms a community and how can one define it. The intent of the project was a study of people - as an individual and as a groupalong with demands of their profession as artisans and the application of that knowledge in their design process. The design process also included identifying the everyday activities of a neighborhood- whom, where, when the spaces are occupied and how they are used. Attempt was made in designing a space which would bind the family as one within a unit and bind the community as one.While designing spaces for the community - to relax, to meet or to perform a conscious effort was made to maintain a connect with the surroundings.

When regular form have fragments missing from their voume, but can still retain their identity and give the perception of a whole and completeness, then they are referred to as subtractive forms. By subtracting the cuboidal form from the entire volume of the building, the cubical structure became more dominant and it creates a sense of formality. A space has been created in the front without altering the shape of the building. Here the entire idea was to design something that is sculptural and the carved out spaces were done with respect to site, solar orientation, program and structure.
Rhythm is a unifying movement characterized by repetition or alteration of formal elements or shapes in a particular pattern. This results in organized movement in space and time. The use of rhythm improves the overall appeal of the building bringing about a sense of uniqueness and harmony to the entire structure. Rhythm can be acquired through repetition, progressions, radiation, graduation and contrast.

Idea of an axis has been created by the plinths. The difference in dimensions and the arrangement gives an observer a sense of direction. It nudges them in the right direction without being too overpowering.
The space, marked by an axis, forces the passer to realize completely the symmetrical arrangement of elements facing him first and then make those around them. Here the idea of an axis has been emphasized further by the ellipse, shaped by the buildings on the sides. The obelisk along with the linear pathway guides them across the space. The surrounding buildings are of the same height ensuring that the attention is focused solely on the basilica.
