drawings of the assigned project were studied and an attempt was made to manually draft the plans and sections of the same.

Analysing it even further to understand the design sensibilities of the space an isometric drawing was drafted manually. The final stage being able to understand and develop an idea about interior design sensibility of the space, an exploded isometric view with an in-detail study was made with an in depth idea about it’s tectonics and materiality.

Starbucks Coffee, Kengo Kuma Understanding the importance of materiality and tectonics in the interior specialisation, a project was assigned. We studied the project in detail, analyzed it with the perspective of interior design specialisation.

Based on the study, an abstract model was created representing the project selected. The model being the exact representation of the materials coming together and the tectonics between each one of them.

Projects: Historical Era Historical Era Individual Identity Current Modern Practices

Carma Mehrauli Flagship Store, New Delhi 1Q1 Restaurant, Bangalore The Cardboard Office, Pune Office 63, Mumbai

Based on the 4 criterions being Historical Era, Collective Identity and Current modern Practices, 4 projects were identified and studied. The idea being not to merely identify a project but to critically examine the core understanding of materiality reflected in it. A curation of sketches in the form of matrix based on certain parameters was made to understand the project further.

While collating the projects in a matrix, outcome of the design process was reflected in the project The matrix decipher the meaning of materiality in the selected projects and identification of

key

elements that lead to the development of ahypothesis for the further design process was done.

permeable boundary was defined using varied materials and finishes. Metal rods were used as a significant material to provide an industrial look to the site relating to the machines. Metal rods acts like a physical and permeable boundary and provides definition to the exhibit space. Wooden pedestal for the exhibits were raised above the ground giving it a significant importance. Existing rafters were retained on the site and the windows were made bigger to compensate the lack of natural lighting in the exhibition space.

Translucent Mysteries The Seamless Transition Creating experiences through interior design sensibilities using measures like Movement, Light, Scale, Inside Outside and Volume and further develop it into Interior Design Specialization through Perspective Drawings.

The interior space and its environment represent an art sculpture and render a unique experience to a space. High impact environment with repeated organic forms and surprising materials reflects the ideologies of technological advances of Da Vinci. The product display is made in such a way that it integrates the machines and defines a movement. The envelope is designed in a

way as to accommodate the objects. The design is a combination of sinuous forms along with surprising materials. Entire interior is based on sinuous horizontal lines that protrudes and recedes to create a seamless three-dimensional effect. Relatively low lighting makes for an atmosphere creating mystery for the user.

Polished mirror ceiling adds reflection and create the illusion of bigger space. Floor and ceiling both have reflective finishes creating the high gloss look and accentuating the feeling of the space. Reflections render floor and ceiling insubstantial, directing attention to the products on display. The design limits the views that people experience at a time so increasing its mystery and element of surprise when the user moves around. Lit from behind the translucent wall, the elements glow Focusing the attention firmly on the product. Around the floor plan the walls undulate in a sinuous rhythm of display shelves.

The space is united by its sense of movement, embedding motion directly into the design so that the space, flow, curve, bend, and crumple in novel and unexpected ways, subverting traditional building norms.
