SCHOOL OF SPECTRUM

New York based project and inspired by the case study of Sale house by Johnston Marklee. The house has a visual connection to colors and the colors show when one walks by the street. The choice of colors for the project were inspired from the house. The color chosen are the three primary colors with their respective secondary and tertiary color. The idea of sandwiching the colors by application on the ceiling and the floor of the color wheel with white walls on the side gives different experience every time the sunlight comes in. The colors start from green in the bottom most floor and continues till the top most floor ending on yellow. The green floor gives the occupants a place to relax from the colors and the buildings, the greenery addition is necessary for relaxation and to improve air quality.

The colors on the ceilings give the idea of the purpose of the building when seen from the street.

The painting is a way to identify the type of colors and how colors are related to each other and how they work together. The color that stands out and dominates the pattern that is made out of the colors in the picture.

MATERIAL AND TEXTUE EXPERIENCE SOFTWARE – REVIT, Rhino 3D, Enscape, Illustrator, Photoshop

The project is located in New York, re-modelling of The Lever House.

The domestic environment studied through the bubble diagram.

Identification of activities in different domestic environments. The 4 floor intervention in an existing building, application of previous studies. The several iterations shows different zoning of the spaces. The common areas are mapped out throughout the floor spreading them from one corner to the other to get different views from each space and associating them with different activities, like private working spaces, learning stairs, gathering, interaction between units, and vertical interaction and views. To make this experience flow from one space to other, different materials and textures that can be an experience that creates a guiding system especially for people with impairments, are used.

Different patterned terrazzo’s and wooden slats, and how their texture feels, and how it differs from each. The distance between the slates represents the type of space one is approaching, for example, if the wooden slats are close and dense that means the person is in a common area, it can be a gathering space or a space leading to the vertical circulation, the slopes with groves, leads to the space where the slats opens up and represents the cluster between units that acts like a threshold from the public space to the more private units. The slats right outside the units are like shutters and can be closed for more privacy. The slats, inside the units, act like the dividers between spaces like living room and kitchen, bedroom and changing room, and dry and wet areas in bathrooms. There are two different patterned terrazzo’s, the intense pattern is for the public zone and the far patterned are for the cluster and more private zones. The staircase is semi enclosed with the wooden slats to have a connection to the outside and inside, vertically and horizontally.

Opening slats act as dividers inside units.

Open slats for identification of clusters and individual units, that is the threshold from common spaces to the private individual units.

FIRST FLOOR THRESHOLD AND COMBINING MATERIALS AND TEXTURE Closed slats for identification of common areas for people with visual impairments with texture recognition.

The selection of materials and the design is primarily focused on physically impaired people. The slope have groovy texture for threshold between common areas and the cluster.

Intense pattern terrazzo - common spaces

Far pattern terrazzo - clusters and units

Birch wood - slats for wayfinding

The slats Infront of the clusters act like shutter and can be closed for more privacy for individual unit.

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION HUB

The project is located at 300 Baylor street, Austin, TX. The design intent is to deliver a sustainable environment for the users of the transportation hub. It aims to play a dual role of educating about organic farming and it’s benefits to the commuters while promoting sustainable and eco-friendly design and material use.

All these while providing them with an eye pleasing architecture inspired by nature. The mezzanine floor gives a visual connect between the inside and outside. The continuation for the vegetation from indoors to outdoors.

Greenery in our living environment benefits more than just our health and wellbeing. They cool the air, provide oxygen, remove harmful gases and dust, and keep the air moist. This site includes a farmers market, organic garden, an education center and a cafe. The main design element the frame divider to separate spaces in this masonry building. The frame is made of aluminum and has wood, glass and empty panels. The different shaped panels provide semi visual connection to the activities happening in the spaces.

The vegetation is watered with the plumbing line wrapped around the frame and connected to the buildings plumbing line.

The greenery is a visually pleasing and is good for indoor air quality.

Outdoor garden space, inspired by MFO park in Zurich. The space is filled with hanging trellis from the existing structure.

The separate entrance takes one to the Farmer’s market and to the green space to sit and relax. The double-heighted column beam frame takes to the farmers market and the smaller column beam frame is the organic farming and seating area. This area is designed to be a relaxing area opposed to the chaotic train station. This is the calm in chaos.

STRATEGIC FORESIGHT - Vegetation reduces negative impact on the environment.

- Green building increases occupants health and comfort, and reduces carbon footprint.

- Amalgamation of flora and fauna has numerous benefits including relaxation, increased productivity, and improved air quality.

- Use of natural and re-cyclable materials aids in expansion of sustainability’s scope of definition.

Why design a spectrum school?

People with autism in suburbs of south India, are not given enough attention as they need. There are a lot of suburbs in India that don’t consider autism needs attention and necessary treatments. They believe in a healing power that exists in that temple. Site is behind the temple, so that its accessible for the users. And the sensitivity of the site and Temple is considered.

Solid and void: Void is an empty volume, while a mass is a filled mass. When a void occurs, the space between two solids it is passive. When it occurs as a removal, or subtraction, from a solid, the void is active. Subtractions create distinctively shaped voids that interact visually with the mass to create strong positive/negative relationships and open up the space of a form. The circulation within the school is designed to promote independence and social interaction.

Radial arrangements of spaces: Taking the existing temple healing space as the focal point, the blocks designed will be radially placed as its spreading out from the central space. Radial concept offers a clear focus point and simplifies the organization. Asymmetrical radial arrangement organizes visual material in more dynamic and dramatic way.

Why radial arrangement?

Radial concept gives a clear focal point; the existing healing building is the focal point of the project. Keeping in mind the main reason of project, radial concept was taken.

Materials: Locally available limestone is used for the external façade.

And for the interior walls, insulated brick wall is used (for sound insulation). So external facades curtain wall is also used to avoid the claustrophobic feeling.
