Waldorf Philosophy is the curricular of the school which aims at holistic education which teaches to the whole human being: head, heart, and hands, and embraces, honors, and celebrates our social and cultural diversity Waldorf emphasizes on the imagination and fantasy of a child

A school for 3 to 8 years old students with 5 classroom of 20 students each is designed in a 2873 sqm site located next to SAP college adjoining Gandhi mandapam road in Chennai

A play area in the north whish is shaded because of the two trees present in the site

The entry is zoned in the north to avoid the chances of missing the school entry in a single lane road

A row of trees is planted next to the road to act as a buffer space for avoiding vehicular noise.

The well inside is taken into account as a focal point and used in the rainwater harvesting system to store water

An empty land is left for play area and multifunctional use for annual events This space gets shade by the nearby building

A 5 acre site near the Guindy racecourse is a prime location in Chennai with a huge potential for luxury apartment With more cost, amenities, requirements, materials and other factors increases to be at the higher verge with world level infrastructure competence.. This aims at design to be modern, flexible and focused all at the same time Collaboration, interaction and a community drive is concentrated to enhance the isolation of people only through structure and not psychologically

A mall is a luxury commercial cum recreational space The energy it consumes is so huge that any reduction would lead us to saving environment in higher value This design is primarily focused on sustainable factors and design that makes the structure and environmentally viable and ecologically valuable A 10 acre site in Ramapuram, a prime location with 250m frontage and 3 side road abutting is chosen for this studio

Stories of the place gives and adds value to the it This design is evolved from the stories around the site that is forgotten and needs to be remembered This mall will be a experiential museum of stories

Mall Design

Environmental Design Studio

Porur lake was once a twin lake holding massive water during monsoon Due to developments and acquisitions, the lake is reduced to less than fifteen percent of the total area it occupied earlier

The volume of the atrium is derived from the depletion of the lake through layers Each floor is then determined through the proportion of these layers

The movement of three primary characters from Ramayana in association with the Ramaneeswarar temple present near the site is taken to formulate the circulation pattern pf the mall s individual floor Each floor will serve as a walkthrough from the perspective of the particular character in the story

1. Ayodhya

2. Exile in Forest

3. Vimana- kidnap

PASSIVE TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE TEMPERATURE INSIDE

Circle has highest area to perimeter ratio. This gives less surface area and can be used where sun rays hit directly

Shading devices and overhang can reduce the temperate by proving shade, resulting in the lower heat gain.

Spatial zoning based on activity. Sun prone areas can have spaces that are active post afternoon and vice versa.

Construction details, like rattrap bonding, insulation, martials with low U value can be incorporated.

ZoningSketch

EXPLODED FLOORS

A multileveled indoor gym where people could get to have visual contact while having a sense of seclusion and privacy Similarly Co-working and sleeping pods are zoned above for zonal privacy

Theatre are designed one above the other where the roof of the below is used as the floor of the above The residual space in the ground level theatres are used for amenities and counters

A level below is filled with vegetation and this is seen via the glass flooring of the food court, where an experience of being floating in the forest is gained

PROPOSED DESIGN

Vimana is an antient aircraft described in olden texts The sections and scientific explanation for the working of these aircrafts are given in these texts Its our pride to depict them to the world So, The mall is given a frontage form resembling Rukma Vimana held by two blocks similar to that of present day rocketry engineering

The form shall be abstracted and an upside down version of this would become more efficient in incorporating building the passive cooling strategy due to its self shading nature

To brief was to find any existing project undergoing construction employing a sizeable workforce and collect data concerning the work force, their background and their lifestyle, rather than the work or the project they are employed at.

A mobile settlement to shelter these construction labourers was designed which is collapsible and easily employed over a variety of terrain, stages of construction and weather conditions The design, most importantly, addresses the core problems concerning safety, security, privacy and right to dignified lives for the labourers. The design units is able to adapt to various iterations of arrangement that would be called for at different points in the construction process.

Beyond providing a roof over their head, what labourers desperately need is a reason to unite and resist exploitation Thus, the design, in many ways, give them a voice and a uniting call for change.

The laborers start their morning routine their bathrooms are small cubicles constructed out of corrugated sheets with inadequate ventilation and poor hygiene conditions; the men take bath outdoors while the women use the bathroom Next, they wash their clothes outdoor with water from borewells in the site or transported water

They then proceed to have breakfast which they prepare using wood and kerosene They take turns and cook breakfast and lunch together and eat in groups Finally, they put on their work clothes (they prefer using their dirty clothes as they further get stained while working) and start their workday

They clean up after work they bath and wash their clothes and get ready to relax The women use the bathroom but the corrugated metal structure used as a bathroom is not comfortable for women

The men go out to buy groceries, for the next day’s cooking, to nearby markets There is a need to go out every day to buy their groceries due to the lack of storage facilities on site

Their day ends with dinner People join together and have dinner in groups while they take turns each day to cook

One of their evening recreational activities is having tea in a group They sit outside their units together while chatting among themselves after a hard day of labor This being one of the most significant activities of the day that brings them together as a group, they share their views, experiences, story, and form connections Even though connecting with their co-workers is an everyday activity, some workers, especially, migrant workers see themselves not being able to communicate with others and often feeling alone or not welcome in the group

Some workers return to their rooms for bed while most prefer to sleep in the open, under a mosquito net Their sleeping facilities are limited, and some of them do not own fans or even cots or mattresses and thus prefer to sleep outside

EXISTING ACCOMMODATION

PROPOSED ACCOMMODATION UNIT

Units lack a secure storage space, the framework of the units are used for various activities like hanging cloths, bags etc

Electric wires run across the floor without proper protection.

No proper floor plane is provided in the unit and is directly installed on the unfinished floor of the building

Poor natural lighting and ventilation due to absence of windows and open space.

There is no distinction of work and personal space

Cooking is done in open space among the construction rubble and Labourers sleep together under mosquito nets during nights.

Place the package at the exact place where the pod will be erected

Mark poles placement and dig about a foot for placing the poles.

Place the foundation poles and compact them with the soil for grip Adjust Height at the required corners based on the site slope Insert the poles to the foundation poles and form the structural grid. Insert horizontal poles from the above one by one and lock them.

Choose and leave gaps for windows and door At the remaining junctions insert wall panels between poles

Place windows and doors at the required positions

Add roof supports and the mid longitudinal poles

Place roof capping at the corners. Each section should join well together.

Attach the small extension at one side of the roof support based on the needs of the sloping

Place the roof panel and attach it to the supporting poles, Ensure all fittings are done properly. Form cluster based on requirements and needs.

The project aims at achieving Super ECBC norms and become a model building of Tamilnadu for the same This is an office cum institution with residential facilities in it To establish a model building such as this, most of the passive climatic techniques were incorporated in the design Spaces were zoned and given qualities that appreciates the little nodes of life like sipping a tea during a lecture break, waiting to read newspaper etc

Tamil culture is believed to be one of the first, finite and advanced civilizations in the world. The cultural aspects evolved through the ages mainly during the Sangam era, the Bhakti movement period and the present modern day after the Industrial revolution Each transition has changed the elements of culture that function This paper discusses the primary connotations of Tamil culture and the change in abstraction While decoding the customs, many practices seem to be of ecological, cultural, environmental and physiological significance The drift in the customary practice and the modern application of these are widely discussed

The understanding, extraction and the application of contextual value becomes an important and integral direction to all customary practices in Tamil culture. The changes in social construct changes the behavior and perception of these tradition making them superstations

Many layers of understanding unlink the true intension or the evolution of customs through practices. The modernity skipped an evolutionary phase, resulting in a quick jump that formed a representative culture without the intentional essence to the practices The paper also conjugates the revival ability of some practices adhering to the present modernity. The objective nature of the paper questions the implications of the raw ‘Tamil culture in the modern day

The café Space here is acted as an intermediate space for the users, as this is a main canteen area for the auditorium users, who should have a transition from dark rooms to lighted space. Hence this space should not be lighted much

Low color temperatures like 2700K are considered “cool” , and they tend to have a relaxing effect. They are preferred in areas like home bedrooms, hotel rooms and high-end restaurants Warm colors are suitable for commercial and industrial settings, where the cool with relaxing effect could turn to be counterproductive

The study on Thandampalayam village in erode district, Tamilnadu unfolded many layers of social, economical and cultural patterns that evolved due to technological and various other interventions This study gave an insight on the dying handloom weaving and people associated with it

The Noyal river next to the village is polluted due to power loom and synthetic dying factories Historical insignificance, objectives of current trend and policies associated with it were questioned to understand the problems in grassroots

Many interventions and proposals were drafted to make the village self reliant and have its own cycle without middleman The proposals is aimed at making the village a globally seen and ideal Tourism and connectively to digital platforms were enabled to make the intentions happen This contradiction of global viable and self reliance were explored and established.

ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR

A temple unfolds the realm of architecture that deals with temporality. As a place during occasional festival period, temple absorbs many people inside with pockets of spaces becoming active for an intended temporal activity or an organic derivative for other primary activities and as a building primarily acts as a religious place, a cultural space during performances, a refugee area in the times of natural crises and much more each having its own physical and temporal needs

A space can direct, accommodate and enhance different activities changing the dynamics of space due to different and/or independent interventions of/by people at distinct nodes of time.

The study focuses on spaces which has a primary activity that gets altered at the times of need rather than creating a multifunctional space. Students require spaces that act distinctly to cater different needs Out of all educational campuses, performing arts school would have more potential in exploring the temporality in architecture due to its discipline which focuses on collaborative and interactive learning, engagement with self, group and community, physical exploration etc
