Aim:
Design an Architectural Design School in Thane, not very far away from the Railway Station.
About Design:
• Architecture as a Cohesive Whole, Including all of its Elements, Symbolizing it as the Center of Knowledge
• Conceiving the building’s design with its various parts and outdoor areas as an interconnected and harmonious structure;
• Adding Value – Making it a pleasant, inviting space for the younger generation and the facilities belonging to both the school and outsiders, encouraging frequent visits and use.
- common functions are placed on the ground.
- private spaces are lifted above.
- First floor is stacked on ground floor mass creating voids in the ground floor for movement.
- giving voids in the upper floor mass acting as pause points and interaction spaces.
- Built on upper floor connects the seperated blocks on ground floor making it look like one continous building.
FIRST FLOOR LAYOUT
The site planning conceives within a grid forming spaces with various volumes that receives adequate natural ventilation. The design maintains a balance in green and enclosed spaces creating an ideal environment for education.
