Views of the installation on site

View of the installation process

The installation tells a story about its inhabitants through its spaces and the interchangeable relationship of The same space when viewed from different dimensions. The goal is to re-examine architecture's role in the spaces it contains and how individuals with differing perspectives can view and inhabit the same world .

"ONE MAN'S CEILING IS ANOTHER MAN'S

FLOOR"

This is a light-hearted architectural representation of Paul Simon's 1973 musical classic. Here we intend to encourage viewing architecture beyond the

"form follows function" mandate. This phrase, originally attributed to the Swiss-born architect Bernard Tschumi, is an attempt to perceive spaces beyond the obvious.

A multi-dimensional perspective of various mundane spatial experiences woven together in an infinite loop. The installation tells a story about its inhabitants through its spaces and the interchangeable relationship of the same space when viewed from different dimensions. The goal is to reexamine architecture's role in the spaces it contains and how individuals with differing perspectives can view and inhabit the same world.

Emphasizing the landscape

Landscaping plays a major role in adding to the sensory of the site and helps people awaken their senses in a more holistic way.

The trees planted are local and thus can flourish in the native environment.

Owing to the rich natural context of the site, 40% part of the site is landscaped.

To provide a skill-developing ambience helping film students to get their hands better on practical work. The main goal of this thesis is to give all the facilities required from the pre-production stage up until the film's distribution so that the filmmakers will not have any difficulties during the filmmaking process. To build relations across varying areas of study resulting in a common goal i.e., learning and creativity. Providing the interiors of classrooms and auditoriums with exterior views rich in ornamental landscape.
