PILLAIPAKKAM Ready-Built Factory

Research based exploration on new typology of factories

• critisize typical factory design

• develop prototypes to make factory design fun, livable and more functional

Relooking at how factories can be made more habitable, not only on a superficial level but also creating a better that’s more functional.

The typical roof with steel wind turbines for ventilation which does minimal help on the ventilation front

A hipped roof for ventilation and sunlight but is not proportionate to the total height of the building

The mezzanines are located along the periphery, which blocks the natural light and airflow into the building.

The mezzanines are located in the centre of the building creating oppurtunities for opening up the facade.

The natural light coming into the building is blocked by the top floors making the lower floors dark.

The levels being staggered in the centre in turn increase the accessibility of light into the interior spaces.

The width of mezzanines reducing along the height thus maximising the amount of natural light to the upper floors mezzanines and in a way distributing natural light more

Keeping the cores along the periphery of the building, making space for natural air flow and light into the building.

The circulation cores can be extended at intervals to optimize the floor space.

The width of mezzanines reducing along the height thus maximising the amount of natural light to the upper floors

Creating multiple mezzanines and in a way distributing natural light more uniformly
