Harbour Healthcare Hospital Architecture Design Semester 9

Navy and Sea personnel possess various qualities of strength, loyalty, cohesiveness, brotherhood, organisation etc. Among these qualities, the most important attribute is co-dependancy and co-operative nature for working together. This organisational feature helps in smooth operating of a port or ship. This creates a techtonic nature of elements present.

These elements may be the navy , the workers, engineers and other sea personnel. They all form an organised system which works in cohesion and helps functioning of one another. If one of them fails, the entire system crashes. This symbiotic nature of elements has inspired the following form of the navy hospital, by converting these intangible features into tangible characteristics such assecure, organised, balanced, dependant.

CONSULADO GERAL DE PORTUGAL Architecture Design Semester 6

Consulado Geral de Portugal is the Portugal Consulate in Goa. It holds various functions for the Portugal Tourists as well as the local Goan People.The composition of the design is inspired by the elements of the Portugal flag. The portugal flag has 3 main elements.

The colours, the Armillary sphere and the National sheild. The Armillary sphere is a nautical device connected with links. Similary the entire design is connected via pathways and roads. These continuous pathways create smaller courtyards between the masses.

Along with the Portugal culture, the Goan culture is blended by the ideas of balcoes. The idea of “to see and to be seen” is given by the Goan balcoes of the houses. It refers to a verandah space infront of the house. The idea is incorporated by allowing and restricting visual access to particular parts of the site.

A- Visa/ Passport Area

E- Public Spaces

B- Semi Private Facilities

F- Skill Development Center

C- Office 1

G- Recreational Area

D- Office 2 (High Authority)

The National shield on the flag has 7 castles of Portugal. These 7 castles are interpreted as 7 zones in the design. The masses of these buidlings are laid out around the courtyard similar to the arrangement of the castles around the sheild, making it a secure zone.
