01. INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURE SUSTAINABILITY

The intent of the studio was to provoke students to analyze, introspect and explore the process of design using various mediums. Through this process one establishes a more informed and aware sense of decision making. The studio focused on deducing inferences from observations through the act of contextual mapping. Further, the students were encouraged to develop intents from their studies, by making exploratory models. These models helped take positions, which further got translated into an architectural expression

Site Location : Anegundi, Karnataka

Site Area : 10000 sqm

Duration : 14 Weeks

Semester 07

Studio Guide : Prof. Shrutie Shah and Asst. Prof. Asijit Khan

“UN - HINGE”

The exercise focused on understanding of mechanism of daily based products like gears, pulley, bottle cap and many more and considered the elements of the mechanism to be a component and can be replaced and can still be workable, which can be reflected in Sustainability approach where the built can be reused or the part can be replaced in many ways to sustain and to optimize.

Understanding of Mechanism

Gear Ratio : 60:1

Type : Compound gears

When the Smaller gear(12 teeth) is a driver, or on which the input is applied, which is connected to the bigger gear (60 teeth). the output will be 5X faster where as gets slower if the input is on the bigger gear

The Understanding from the First model

The RPM increase and decrease with respect to the size and the ration of the Gear

Gear Ration : 1:60

Gears of single plane

The grids are all fixed in a single plane which just leads to the transmission in one plane

HOLISTIC INTENT MODELS

Holistic intent in architecture refers to an approach that considers the building and its surroundings as an interconnected whole. This approach recognizes the importance of sustainability, the use of natural materials, and the integration of nature into the design. This approach aims to create buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing and functional but also contribute positively to the environment and the people who inhabit them.

The intent behind Dual roof was to provide protection from scorching sun of Anegundi as it works as an insulator and keeps the core structure cool

Walls can serve as an expression of aesthetic intent, reflecting the cultural, historical, or social context of a building and express the identity of its occupants, or to communicate a specific message or meaning.

The openings designed to let in natural light and are particularly effective at illuminating interior spaces without creating glare or over heating.

The intent aims to create the illusion that a building is floating above the ground which is primarily aesthetic, dramatization and functional benefits.

This approach to building design seek to connect with nature and create healthier and more sustainable environments for people to live and work in.

This architectural intent that involves the use of a rigid framework to support a building’s weight and distribute its loads and to relief the building from the ground

Membranes can be used as an architectural intent in many creative ways. They offer flexibility and versatility in design, making them an best option for a wide range of applications.

As an architectural intent, brise soleil can be used to improve the energy efficiency of a building by reducing the amount of solar heat gain that occurs in the interior spaces.

Symbiosis as an architectural intent refers to a design approach that seeks to create a mutually beneficial relationship between 2 build masses and its surrounding environment, to benefit the occupants

Intent of a void is to create a sense of spaciousness and openness within a building. Voids can be used to break up the mass of a building and provide relief from the enclosed spaces.

SECTIONAL MODELS

Exploration of sectional models is an essential exercise and provided a unique perspective on the spatial relationships and structural systems within a building.

ELEVATION MODELS

INDUSTRIAL BUILDING WITH SUSTAINABLE APPROACH

Sustainable architecture is a design approach that seeks to minimize the environmental impact of buildings while maximizing their energy efficiency. In the context of steel buildings, sustainable architecture often involves the use of passive cooling systems, which rely on natural means to regulate the temperature inside the building, as well as large spans to maximize usable floor space while minimizing the amount of material used.

A steel building with a large span allows for greater flexibility in terms of the layout and design of the interior space. The large span also provides more opportunities for natural light to enter the building, reducing the need for artificial lighting and increasing energy efficiency. When paired with passive cooling systems, such as operable windows and vents, the large span helps to promote natural ventilation, reducing the need for mechanical cooling systems.

SECTIONAL ANALYSIS

The building’s section through the wind well, also known as a wind tower, reveals the natural flow of air. As wind enters the tower and passes beneath the floor, get cools with the water stored there. This cooled air then flows upward and circulates throughout the building, providing natural ventilation and cooling.

SPATIAL ORGANIZATION

Effective spatial organization depicted through pencil shading techniques,

The general Idea of the building’s orientation, volume, and form. These elements define the structure’s overall presence and relationship to the surrounding context, enabling to create a coherent and functional design. By carefully considering the massing, and also with the understanding of previous tasks help developing a strong foundation for the building’s design and construction. 03.
