Campus Design 04

Semester-6

Studio lead: Ar.Krishnan varma, Ar.Arun thomas, Ar. Sherin Varikatt

Location: School of drama,Trissur.

Studio is focusing on materials and construction techniques through campus design. The site selected is at school of drama,trissur. Which has a prominant studio theatre by Ar.Laurie Baker along with it has numerous buildings such as Admin,lab,workshop,music department ect.

Existing Drama Theatre

Plan

Site has a gradual slope towards the Wet land. The main idea of the design is to maintain lower heirarchy in vertical levels in proposed design centralising the theatre studio.

The architectural program of this building complex takes into account its close proximity to an existing drama theatre. To balance the bustling energy of the theater, the design incorporates quiet, recreational spaces near a tranquil wetland zone.

The buildings are organized into a hierarchy of vertical levels, with each level following the contours of the deck to create a fluid and harmonious connection with the surrounding landscape.

This intentional placement of spaces helps to create a tranquil environment for those seeking a peaceful retreat, while still being easily accessible to the livelier areas of the theater.

Existing site plan

Building block which is chosen to detail is library. The design of the library features steel and stone as its main materials, is half sunken into the ground, creating clear divisions between private and semi-private spaces. The use of a cantilevered glass structure allows for an unobstructed view of the surrounding water body, seamlessly integrating the design with the surrounding landscape. The steel framework provides a strong and modern aesthetic, while the stone adds a sense of solidity and timelessness. The interplay of these materials creates a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment for learning and discovery.
