O1 SPACE MAKING

Semester 3

Notion of shelter

In our Semester 3 studio, we were asked to consider ourselves as the first human born inside the soil and get out of there by carving the space. In this studio learned about the solid-void space by exploring more spaces while carving. We go through various stages,the need for shelter, food, and companion and also the need grows to make spaces for another person. We also trie to connect the space with surrounding neighbourhood and context by introducing balcony, verandah, and also providing landscape.

The entrance is articulated by a small half wall used as a seating space for visitors. These spaces act as a transition space. After the vestibule there is a central landscape which act as a welcoming space and also for collecting water in rainy seasons. This space is followed by a transition space between the carved space and the land.
