About the Studio 01
Studio: Simple Building Products
Studio Brief The interiors of institutional buildings today are very different than 50 years ago and require specific products with specific functions which are designed to respond to demands of such spaces as well as the ones visualized in the future. With innovations in the field of technology and raised awareness about impact built environment has on ecosystem, the way we work, teach, learn, share knowledge and information has completely changed. This change in lifestyle and availability of advanced technology demands new building products and systems. This studio aims at solving need for Building Product & System for the Built Environment. The emphasis of the studio is on the design process, visualization, ideation and making the prototype. The studio is about applying the design process to solve the design problem, develop a simple product for a situation and use appropriate technology. The simple product shall be designed based on given constraints of materials, structure, and technology. The methodology shall involve tools like observation, exploration, analysis, and investigation. The students shall develop an approach towards form manipulation as the starting point. They will learn to explore and combine materials and structure creatively for a specified objective. Students will be able to plan, visualize, and design Micro to Mezzo, Mezzo to Macro relationships in the context of - detail to product, product to system and system to space. The theme of the studio was elements of connectivity. The output will be in the form of physical scaled models, technical drawings, and prototypes.
Studio Outline This studio was conducted during spring semester for students enrolled in first year of Master of Design in Building Products and Systems for academic year 2019/20. It ran for twelve weeks and concluded with Semester End Exhibition. Twenty one students of Master in Building Products and Systems had parallely in this semester one mandatory course that were supposed to also support their work in studio. Studio followed stages of design process, from form manipulation and generating connection to the Prototyping. During each stage, students were given exercises that guided development of their design. Classes would start with a lecture or introduction to next exercise, continue with class discussions and conclude with individual discussions.

ELEMENTS OF CONNECTIVITY Building Products are processed, finished items that are manufactured combinations of materials and perhaps other products, processed to create items such as doors, windows, light fittings, and so on. In general building products either solve a problem and/ or enhance the quality / performance / utility of the built environment.
The theme of the studio was ‘Elements of Connectivity’. An imaginary structure was provided as a site for the studio, and to give dimensional constraints while designing the product. Various form development exercises involving drawing and model making were given to initiate the thinking process. These exercises started from as simple an object like a ‘Cube’ and reached a ‘Conceptual 3D model’ based on factors like Grid development, Order formation, Propagation of the order, and 2D to 3D transformation. The above exercises assisted the students in the following aspects: • Logic and rational of form • Proportion and geometry • Size and dimensions • Relationship between modules / different elements • Principles of visual perception • Approach to form & concept of form After the above stage, the students moved on to solving individual ‘Design Brief’ based on the concepts developed through these initial exercises. The Product/Design brief involved defining factors like stakeholders, purpose of the product, possible locations for the usage of the product and the need/intention of the product. Other factors that further elaborated the brief were defining design criteria, design features, new/emergent technologies used, and its scope in a broader context. All students prepared a ‘Design Matrix’ to organize the responses for the above factors and utilize them in generating their design.

Studio: Simple Building Products
The aim of this studio was to design a ‘Connecting Element’ for the interiors. This ‘Connecting Element’ based on the given site should be a linking unit between two floors (either first-first/ ground-ground). A new design was derived as a result of the specifications in the Design Brief and Matrix. Various process and conceptual models were used as a tool to convey the design intention before arriving at the final refined stage. For the final miniature model, material constraints were given. Irrespective of the evolved design the students were divided into two groups based on two different material palette. Palette 1--Metal Pipe, Plywood, Cable Palette 2--Metal Sheet, Wooden Rod, Cable Discussions on understanding property of materials, efficiency in the use of materials, what forces do materials originate, and technologies involved for different materials were instigated. After the final design stage and its evolution based on material characteristics — we moved on from how a design solution becomes a PRODUCT, since eventually the design should correspond to a Simple Building Product. This last stage was all about enhancing the design solution to transform it into a PRODUCT by optimization of factors like ease of assembly & disassembly, standardization of parts to facilitate mass production and various other factors.

CONNECTOR AS FORM
DESIGN BRIEF Conditions : The Foremost aim of the Product is to connect Spaces for the given conditions, which include horizontal movement through the connection and no vertical transition between the two floor plates ensuring the simple building product does not touch the ground. (Horizontal does not only mean limiting to a straight direct link such as a line). ‘Connection’ can attribute to the notions of ‘relation’ ‘ Bond’ ‘Interrelation’ ‘ Association’ and is not limited to ‘the relationship between a person or thing with something else’.
Circle as a simple geometry Attributes of visual transition and ability as a structural form
The Product shall bring out the connection of two or more tangible mediums along with a visual transition wherein the continuity of the geometry used should allow for modularity in the form of units and generation of form to create a network but perceived as one Connection. This assembly based Product can ensure sustainability through a multi-functional approach. Here both the function/activity (the association of two or more activities in context) and modules should be able to evolve . This is not limited to the context used but should also allow re usability and recyclability post a point of usage.

DESIGN BRIEF
GEOMETRY OF FORM
TO DESIGN A CONNECTING ELEMENT BETWEEN TWO HORIZONTAL AXIS THAT ALLOW TO AND FRO MOVEMENT AND CIRCULATION FOR USER. THE USER MAY EITHER CARRY ANY LUGGAGE/ BAGGAGE ALONG WITH HIM OR NOT IN A HASTEN SITUATION. THE PASSAGE OF USER FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER SHOULD BE A CONTENTED EXPERIENCE IN TRANSITION. THE CONNECTING ELEMENT SHOULD BE EASY TO ASSEMBLE ON SITE AND REQUIRES APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE. SINCE THE CONNECTING ELEMENT TO BE DESIGNED IS IN AN INTERIOR CONTEXT IT SHOULD FEEL AND APPEAL LIKE A PRODUCT IN TERMS OF AESTHETICS.

DESIGN PROCESS
DESIGN BRIEF To design a product, which by property of its geometry can form an interlinked network to support the excitation force caused by dynamic action of the user during transit. The product should be flexible and should have a strong primary function of linkage as well as a secondary function which can be accommodated by incremental upgrades in design. The assembled structure should be lightweight and meet the criteria for structural stability.
PIVOT JOINTS
DIAMOND PLEAT
SCISSORS TYPE STRUCTURE
Studying Origami folds for retractable structures
CONTINUITY IN FORM Pivot joints at nodes to allow the structure to collapse
MATERIAL: PINEWOOD FOR GRIDSHELL Tensile strength – For being a relatively lightweight building material, wood outperforms even steel when it comes to breaking length (or self-support length). Simply put, it can support its own weight better, which allows for larger spaces and fewer necessary supports. Durable - Wood is a durable material which can last upto hundred years if treated properly. Modern wood preservatives and finishing can be added to enhance natural durability
PURPOSE: Serve as a building/landscaping element which can support other systems required for functioning and maintaining of a given space. KEY DESIGN FEATURES - Origami Inspired structure - Modular - Easy to assemble
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - Simple assembly - Structural stability - Durable - Upgradable - Adaptable Workability - Pine wood being a soft wood can be bent by steam - Scalable bending. It works fairly well with hand and machine tools. Aesthetics - In addition to providing design flexibilty and strenght, wood has a timeless look which conveys warmth, strenght and character.

ISOMETRIC VIEW SCALE 1:2
Deriving geometry for connector from 2D to 3D evolution exercise by understanding axes and connection points
The junction where the planks intersect is a critical point. The connector should be such that it prevents rotation of the members.
UPGRADABILITY OF CONNECTOR
STRENGTHENING THE SHELL The grid pattern forms the shell which enables the overall structure to benefit from the combined action of the shell and arches and thus to achieve a unique shape.
