Focus of studyMaterial and Construction detailing

The design idea resolves around the linear planning through the empty spaces in the site, ensuring proper ventilation and natural light.

An efficient form that flows between the trees.

Steel First Floor Plan

was my choice of material, given its ease of fabrication and deployment. steel gives precision and cuts down on waste during production. Rapid deployment increases the efficiency of the overall process while minimizing the impact on the natural environment.

Since the entire site is vegetated, the idea was to make minimum interventions on site, stacking the building into multiple levels to meet the required area within a small footprint. While also providing a play space within the building.

Spaces that are to be used in common are

organized on the ground floor (administrative block, library, cafeteria, exhibition space, etc ).

Studios of different blocks are designed on the first and second floor, accessed with two stairs and a lift. There is also a badminton court on the first floor which is visually connected to long corridors on the first and second floors.

Block Plan (Cafe 10 Diaphanous mass

Detail of cafeteria.

The cafeteria with a 10m bay was spanned with castellated beams and ishb columns that occupied much less space compared to conventional materials like concrete and wood.

The kitchen is treated as the enclosed block wrapped in corrugated steel sheet with sandwich insulation. The rest of the seating for the cafe resembles the pavilion to maximize the interaction with the environment and benefit from the mild tropical climate.

Contextual sustainability of programmatic insert.

Architectural Design - IV

Location:Vazhappily, Muvattupuzha,Kerala

SENSITIVITY / SENSIBILITY:

FARMERS MARKET where farmers can sell their product directly to the people without any intermediate parties like wholesalers and retailers, by which the margin of profit for farmers can be increased. This will help in financial growth and better living conditions for farmers.

Site area: 6784.51 msq/1.67acres Existing building footprint: 2500msq Proposed insert: 2500msq

EFFICIENCY:

TOKEN COUNTER Providing a token area can increase the efficiency of the system and make the system organized

Existing Building

This was a project to throughout the lished building cod

Proposed Building

CONNECTION: Providing connections from new building to to existing building briging an uniterrupted flow of circulation and easy access to different spaces

Aspects of sustainability Mindfulness / Awareness Efficiency / Economy Adaptability / Flexibility Sensitivity / Sensibility

to understand the core values of sustainability as a factor to be consciously catered entire process of design. The project also focuses on resolving the building to estabdes and green building codes.

WELLNESS/ MINDFULNESS: Opening for natural ventilation and indirect sunlight into the building

AWARENESS: The waiting area with a digital kiosk and the help desk helps people to know about the current status of their document and also helps people who are not familiar about filling forms for different applications.

NEED: As observed in the survey, the number of toilets in the market is not sufficient for the visitors and shopkeepers, moreover, the existing toilets are not maintained causing poor hygiene. This problem results not only in open urination but also in an uncomfortable and unsafe environment for women and children.

In the market area.

The existing number of toilets: 2 blocks . 4×

APPROACH 1.Calculating the density of people in the market- (conducted a sample survey of 10% of the total number of shops to calculate floating population in the market and then extrapolating to get the total population as prospective users. ) 2.No of the required toilet is calculated based on URDPFI guidelines for public toilets and from IS Code Of Basic Requirements For Water Supply, Drainage AndSanitation.

3.Identifying suitable locations for the toilet for people from different parts of the market to access any of them, easily.

GRAPHIC DESIGN (Elective) Workshop by Ar.Subin Jameel

Introduction to rhino modeling. Obtaining form by addition and subtraction of different shapes, and also by exploring different tools of the software.

Architectural spaces and elements were then created out of the obtained form.

The initial attempt was to create a model of the 2d architectural composition made earlier. Changes were made in the initial form.

38

Prominent evolution was in the roof structure and the front stair. Cutouts were made in the stair structure

Cutouts that were made in the stair structure, were made into a planter box for trees. A curved roof was created to shade the rectangular frame structure.

A stepped character was brought into the form on the walls and Cutouts as stairs were the prominent element in the form.
