GREEN BAY PROPOSAL FOR A BIOPHILIC HUB FOR MORDERN WORKFORCE

Renders- Made using Twin Motion

An academic proposal for thesis in Undergraduate program. Located along the bustling Kuloor-Kavoor highway in Mangalore, Green Bay is an innovative multi-storied office complex designed to enhance productivity and wellbeing. Set in a prime location amidst commercial and industrial spaces, this office complex is a beacon of sustainable design.

The building’s architecture is inspired by the aerodynamic form of an airfoil, ensuring optimal performance with minimal wind resistance. A thoughtful integration of 15 biophilic design patterns fosters a seamless connection between the users and nature.

Central green cores and surrounding transition spaces have been meticulously designed to incorporate direct visual or sensory experiences of nature, creating an immersive environment that promotes health and productivity. With its focus on creating a healthy and calming workspace, Green Bay exemplifies how architecture can support the physical and mental well-being of its users, offering a modern office solution that prioritizes sustainability and human health.

Concept: Vision of Dynamic Function

BIOVORTEX CONCEPT: VISION OF DYNAMIC FUNCTION This design was a part of an assignment during Advanced architecture tools course.

The Biovortex introduces an innovative concept of utilizing a helix structure spiralling around a central core. This versatile design can adapt to a variety of scales and models, from defining the architecture of an entire building to creating functional interior spaces. The spiral, supported by the central core, serves as a habitable zone, seamlessly combining form and function. The organic structure enveloping the central core doubles as a structural support and an aesthetic statement, showcasing fluidity and strength. To elevate the design, a complementary helix can be incorporated to provide contrast in flow, creating a striking visual and functional feature. The primary spiral form can function as interconnected floors in a building or as ramps connecting different levels, offering both utility and elegance. This modular design ensures adaptability, making it ideal for independent architectural elements or interior spaces, setting a new standard for sustainable and dynamic architecture.

COMPETITION ENTRY SOLAR DECATHLON COMPETITION SUBMISSION AHANA: COMMUNITY RESILIENT SHELTER

The Resilient Shelter Ahana project focuses on designing a community resilience shelter for the people of Penthakata, Puri, Odisha; a site prone to cyclone and strong winds. This area consists of a congested slum, housing almost 50,000 people of the fishing village community, living in dilapidated conditions. The main intent was to produce a sustainable project, that is able to withstand the harsh weather while consuming less energy for its functions and comfort. The design model was derived through various Energy conservation measures .

RESEARCH PUBLICATION

Biophilic design expedites healing, enhance creativity and increases productivity, by restoring the connection between human and nature.

Contemporary structures have lost their link with nature while trying to accommodate the growing population. Interior designs have become more about fitting than comfort, making them unsustainable. Spaces like offices, suffer from less focus on human welfare, causing stress, anxiety and other work-related health issues. Thus, suitable design patterns that improve the users’ psychological and physiological health need to be incorporated, to increase their potential at work. This paper addresses the patterns of Biophilic Design and how they articulate a relationship between nature, the built environment and human biology.

These patterns include different attributes or experiences through which biophilic design is implemented. Through a few case study documentations, the patterns used in Indian office interiors are recognized and the impacts of the design on mood and mental health are studied from the users’ perspective. Further, it focuses on awareness through the perception of these patterns, and how it has been incorporated into the workspace. Through an understanding of user perception and effectiveness of the patterns, the benefits of biophilic design patterns on the users’ mental health are analyzed. The discussion thus revolves around the study of the application and benefits of the biophilic design pattern, put in the context of Indian office buildings. The paper thus concludes that biophilic practices help people re-connect with nature and decreases work-related mental health issue, producing a sustainable and healthy environment
