THESIS Semester 8

A Ride To The Cosmos : COSMODROME, Maharashtra

CONCEPT AND FORM EVOLUTION

“Our future lies beyond the limits of the sky” Since ages, with the need of the hour, inventions were done. As we are connected to each and every part of this planet and we aim for more, it’s time to connect to the extra-terrestrial world (not aliens), but making ‘space’ within the reach of all.

Why not the dream of any human to touch the stars can convert into a reality ?! The resources are here, the technology is here and still everybody just fantasizes the ‘to be reality of the future’.

Cosmodrome is all about the simple concept of a balloon carrying a pod up into the space.

The facility will provide an unmatched experience to the travellers and their family members. This will be a privately handled project and the travellers will be paying a huge sum of amount to have this unusual experience.

PROJECTS DURING INTERNSHIP

During my entire internship, I worked on various landscape projects at Siddhartha Das Studio and Design Cell.

The major works at SDS included tree transplantation of the JDCA, Bhubaneshwar site, where I was required to do a complete plotting of existing trees on the site and relocate them within the premises for the museum to come up. These bamboo stalls were designed for JDCA Film Festival at IDCOL Auditorium, Bhubaneshwar in Jan’16.

And, the major work at DC included the site planning and landscaping of The Royal Academy in Bhutan.

The most favourite projects done was this monolithic concrete bench designed for BM Munjal University at Gurgaon.

HANDS ON WORKSHOP - HEMISPHERICAL DOME

The objective of the summer school was to create awareness on the need to move towards a Green Habitat based on cost-effective building design and construction technology that is, at the same time, environmentally sustainable. It was also to explore Laurie Baker’s approach to habitat development, rooted in the idea of sustainability.

The curriculum consisted of field visits, interactive sessions and hands-on-workshops.

The batch was taken to various projects done

by Baker in Trivandrum and was taught about the building techniques that were opted by him.

We majorly worked on filler slabs, rat-trap bonds, mud and bamboo construction, stone masonary, domes and arches in brickwork, various finishes that he used.

It captivates the essence of people, space and time, and evokes it throughout its life.�
