Urban design . Sem 8 .

Studio Guides:

Prof. Nelson Pais

The studio brief was to design an urban insert in the context of Madikeri. Each group of five students selected one site of eight provided options . Collaboratively a unified common vision was established that aligned with the unique context of Madikeri. Individually , all the design programs were tailored to suit the chosen site while maintaining the shared vision and all of them were stiched together to form one master plan. This project demonstrates our ability to harmonize individual creativity with collective goals in the realm of Urban Design

Common Vision

The vision is to enhance the experience of being in a hill town through the idea of slowness in navigating through it. The pedestrian pathway will loop around various spaces that celebrate the town of Madikeri and the people who reside there, in the form of social gathering spaces. The fort remains the focal point as one moves through these various open and enclosed spaces.

Sustainable Architecture . Sem 7 .

Studio Guides:

The studio brief was to design a small scale crafts industry while exploring the idea of sustainibility . The task was to create an extension of the Kishkindha trust , an existing NGO based in Anegundi. The trust manufactures various products with local materials like water hyacinth and banana fibers. In doing so they engage with the women of the town. An expansion to the trust was seen as a way of sustaining this community of women by providing income and also promoting arts and craft of Anegundi. This centre was also seen as an oppurtunity to invite visitors and tourists to see the making of these products as they form the major source of the revenue.

Design Development

One grid along N-S direction to get maximum daylight and the other one along prevailing wind direction for adequate ventilation

Combining Grids

Promoting mutual shading by addition of taller blocks at south and south west and rest of the built being restrcited to ground floor.

Having all the built spaces around ‘streets’ , providing an enhanced circulation for the visitors and staff.

Idea of conical roofs to accentaute the junctions and to bring in a different quality of light within the premise.

The studio brief was to design a Culinary institute for a client who is from a third generation farming family. The fundamental idea was to design a cooking school from nature’s point of view. The institution is based on “ field to fork concept” and includes harvest, storage, processing, packaging , sale and consumption of the food grown on site. The stuidio also focused on relationship between Built (the institute) and Unbuilt (the farm)

Case Study : Delft Montessori School - Herman Hertzberger

How can the evolution of grid become a device of disorder ?

Hertzberger describes “Classrooms as home” and hallway of the school as “extended learning street “ . That way classroom becomes a private space and hallway becomes public. The idea was to interlock these space and create more ‘ I and We’ spaces. Grids are the great way of organising space. Grids can be modulated in different ways like shearing , offsetting or breaking/dividing. These actions create interesting in between spaces . Further , repetition of breaking the grid, establishes a firm relationship between Public and Private spaces

Repetitive modulation of grid to establish Public vs Private

Design Development

1. Positioning primary datum

2. Repetition of Datum

3. Shearing of Datum

4. Datum determining circulation

SKIN OF THE BUILDING

DATUM here is two parallel walls, one being part of all the blocks itself and other becoming the skin of the building. The gap in between would accommoate services like corridor and staircases.

ZONING AND MASSING

1. Classifying all the program into Zones

2. Spreading all the blocks around the datum such that it creates in between spaces and pockets at different intervals. Also stretching the building

Hierarchy Geometry

Radial organisation of four arms around the Great Hall significantly allows light from all the direction and further enhances the degree of dominance of the central space

Rushil Jain

The diagram highlights the Obelisk which is erected at the centre of the square which is affectively derived from the geometry of OvatoTondo. The Obelisk further enhances the flow around the elliptical surface which is derived from the same geometry.

‘The last of the Prairie houses’ by Frank.L.Wright, also known as Wingspread beautifully interacts with the prairie around it The house welcomes the joyous, warm light from all the directions through its many windows and skylights. The house is approached from the north by a long winding drive. It consists of a central hub, from which four long arms radiate. is the most dominant space and stands first in hierarchy followed by the four arms of the Wingspread.These arms around the central space reflects the dominance of the Great Hall amongst other spaces.This hierarchy beautifully coordinates with the open spaces between two adjacent arms which incorporates views between levels and remarkable play of3D Diagram

2D Diagram Geometry

Ovato Tondo is Italian for a round term is used to describe an elliptical work especially during Renaissance most predominantly used to describe of St. Peter Basilica. St. Peter's plaza designed by Gian Lorenzo planned Saint Peter’s Square with surrounded by a colonnade that as ‘the maternal arms of Mother embracing the crowd. At the center Ovato Tondo’s geometry is an obelisk, also the gnomon of a huge sundial. played a very important role in Architecture and hence the colonnades obelisk of this space concludes of it.

INSTALLATION AT JAGANMOHAN PALACE

The installation was designed in steel to contrast with the visually heavy facade of the palace. A solid wall of concrete was added in between the facade and the installation to act as a backdrop for the installation while also providing a vantage point to view the intricate details of the main facade.

The symmetrical order of the facade was analyzed and broken down into grids which were reappropriated as the structural grid for the installation. The use of grids allowed for the development of three dimensional modules that could be used either as a pause point, a stop point or a play/circulatory space.
