Weaving Process

An open corridor on either sides of the built to reduce the air temperature before entering the built through funnel effect.

The openings on the roof to let the raised hot air out

30% of the given site is used for cultivation of plants used for organic dyes for weaving and 30% is built where, 20% of the built can be accessed by the public at anytime of a day

Use of shading devices with horizontal and vertical shading angles for different facades of the built to prevent the direct heat from the sun therefore attempt to keep the inside cool

Use of locally available and bio degradable materials, exposed brick on the outside and lime plaster on the inside for maximum reflectance if light

SEMESTER 5

STUDIO GUIDE

STUDIO BRIEF

The vision of development at any waterfront is rooted in the everyday life and the local usage of space. The use of leisure as an appropriate public use, giving rise to a rich narrative of spatial experience of built architecture with a reference to the solemn flow of the river and to give back to the people of the city.

Srirangapatna is a river island enclosed by river Cauvery and is connected through bridges to other cities. The town of Srirangapatna is a lesser-known hamlet where the town is enclosed within a fort wall and is mainly popular for its majestic temples and forts packed with many historical and cultural stories

ON SITE SKETCHES

CONCEPT

A public intervention with a visual connect on two sides site with mixing spaces in the center where site that drops down by 6M on the north to the river and having one of the important temple streets on the south.

STUDIO BRIEF

Housing, as an architectural program, is an outcome of people coming together to build and accommodate their life, activities and engagements. Urbanization, industrialization and sharp increase in land-value have increased the demand for group housing

The intent of the ‘Group Housing’ studio is to study the life, activities of life and engagements of people. To study the people as individuals, family and as a community and apply the knowledge to shape the architecture in a manner that, the family binds as an entity within the unit and the community binds as a collective, through articulation of space and form. The studio focused on the opportunities of bringing houses together and shape the un -built to support the community activities of the user group and address the challenges of grouping.

STUDIO BRIEF

The studio places a strong emphasis on accurately converting design drawings into clear and accurate drawings that would make execution of work on site easier. The goal was to comprehend how clearly a project should be described so that it would be simple to read and carry out on the site. The project chosen here is housing from semester 4. The need for well thought of details and skill of representing that through drawings such as unit plans, electrical layouts, toilet drawings, kitchen layouts, and wall sections etc is focused upon.
