01 T R A B E ATA C a m p u s Des i g n An addition to the Manasa Gangotri campus (Mysore university), the film institute was designed to serve as a stage for learning and a medium for visual stories to unfold in.

Theatre is to be watched and engaged with, so why can’t academia be the same?

THEORETIC A L PRE MISE Cinema is an art form larger than the big screens. It involves story telling, visual and emo�onal experiences and learnings.

The film ins�tute aims to provide students with an environment that encourages learning by watching and engaging with it and its users. It weaves unique yet familiar experiences around its design features.

The pivotal feature of the design is the path that cuts through the site. It creates a transition space between the semi private zones like the auditorium & set design studio and the academic block.

The two main courtyards serve different contexts and are interlinked by means of smaller opento-sky spaces that act as gathering spaces and circulation paths.

Classroom Theatres

CLASSROOM THEATRES The classroom theatres are situated towards the top-right corner of the site which has less noise and traffic, a result of which is more privacy.

Ven�la�on and indirect light is brought in through overhead windows and Z-shaped moulded concrete fins.

Compressed stabilised earth blocks are used as in-fill in the RCC structure.

Outer courtyard

The entrance courtyard is flanked by the auditorium, workshop and a set design studio. It serves as a spillout area when events are conducted and provides a pla�orm for performance and display. The path cut�ng through the site draws an audience from other departments in the campus as well.

02 THE TENET L i t erat u r e C ent er An institution in the heart of Bengaluru dedicated to the literature fraternity of the city.

The program involved creating a platform for literary enthusiats with an auditorium, lecture rooms, and residence units.

The design design follows the premise that literature is an open ended discipline and that there can be no absolutes.

This project extracts the layer of literature that is subjective and has flexibility in meaning.

Site Plan

Poems and pieces of writing may be interpreted differently from indiviual to individual and grow seeds for discussion of ideas. This crucial difference in interpretation is necesary for personal growth and growth of the society.

These ideas have been translated into design by adopting soft forms that enhance the absense of a vertice the absence of anyhing absolute.

The literature center has four main components: The auditorium, the hoirzontal circula�on component, the ver�cal circula�on componnt and the main block. The narrow curvilinear strip that is the horizontal circula�on divides the space into two and provides a transi�on between the inside and out.

The design takes a brutalist approach, exposing the surface of materials like concrete and glass.

The entrance to the literature center provides a sense of mystery brought out by the half sunken auditorium whose roof doubles as an open air theatre.

The woven steel pipes were inspired by the Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing and they also serve as shading devices to a facade facing east.

Attention to function

The func�ons of the program have been organised ver�cally on the precendence of required privacy and access. The ground floor contains the auditorium and a cafe; the first a library; the 2nd and 3rd contain lecture halls and admin quarters; the top most is dedicated to a residence floor.

03 T H E G R A N D BAY Hospitality Design Given a site on the coast of the Bay of Bengal, the project aimed at invoking a sustainable approach to the design of a hospitality project. Along with it were the constraints of a small site area to be conjuncted with the regulations of buildings laws and green building codes.

The site is situated overlooking the sea and has a port dock in its vicinity. On the le� of the site is the Town Hall, a public heritage building and towards the south of the site is a mixed residen�al zone.

To adapt to the warm and humid climae of Vizag, the building mass is split into two linear elements in a N-S orienta�on.

It is further interlinked at the center and this allows for ven�la�on based on the Venturi effect by capturing incoming winds. The building is made porous to accomodate cross ven�la�on in the higher levels.

Plan at level 1

Section BB

Plan at level 2 Common ground In the plan, each wing of the building is designated to a different function and they are all linked by a common transition space in the center. On the ground level this transition is open to the general public and encourages them to detour from the unshaded foothpath to the walkway underneath the trees leading to the north of the site.

Plan at level 3

29

To insulate solar radiation from the south-west, the design incorporates perforated balcony walls of varying projections in each unit. The CSEB walls with perforations aim to reduce the heat gainwhile maintaining ventilation and privacy.

Shading devices are designed for the south east facade based on solar altitude and azimuth throughout the year.

04 TECHNICAL DRAWINGS The working drawings studio focussed on crafting good for construction drawings for an office building located in B a n g a l o r e .

It involved the understanding and coordination of various disciplines required to build a real time project.

05 WORKSHOPS Engaging in intensive discussion and activity on the use and incorporation of mud blocks in construction also included team co-operation and division of tasks. From grasping the subject of constructing sans mortar to implementing it, the learning experience was unique and handson.

36

A

FUNICULAR STRUCTURES

The process begins with constructing steel frameworks attached to the concrete beam.

Bricks of size 100x50x25mm^3 are used and further cut into smaller units as per requirements during construction.

An angle measurement device is used to help lay the bricks on the formwork at the required inclination (70 deg). The bricks are laid pressed against each other until th entire circlular formwork is filled. Open spaces are filled with smaller aggregates. Finally, the props and circular slab is released.

38

B MASONRY VAULTS The challenge is this workshop was to construct a vault and release the formwork within in a day. The mounts were first constructed and the formwork laid over it. Bricks were laid perpendicular to the surface of the formwork and open spaces filled with either small aggregates or mortar to keep the structure in place.
