-The site chosen is a contour site so that each and every studio of an artist experiences the views of hills on the adjacent sides and the view of the dam on the front side.

-As it is a contour site, proper leveling is been done and the sand extracted is used either to fill up the other holes or is used on any other site for various purposes. hence no wastage of materials is been done and the waster material is reused.

-The spacing of all the studios is done in such a way that each studio enjoys a open space in front of it which also helps in proper ventilation and light. helps for the proper movement of air through the studios -Use of regional material so as to make the structure more green and to follow norms of IGBC. -zoning is done according to the crowded, less crowded and silent zones as shown in the bubble diagram.

-proper axes to each and every space.

- rainwater harvesting system applied to collect rainwater and to use for landscape, car washing, sometimes flushing etc SCHEMATIC WATER BALANCE CHART - proper storm water drainage system to collect the storm waste water from site.

- use of green roof so as to maintain coolness during the summer seasons and to reduce the heat effect.

3 rd YEAR To design a CAR SHOWROOM with the given requirements of car and the services to be provided.

The site for the showroom is selected in such a way that it is nearby to the highway with a easy transportation of cars. The site analysis points out the important features of site to be considered in relation with views, sound, light and ventilation.

The main criteria was to have the showroom facing towards the road for theproper view of cars.

Double facade has been provided so as to just take the light inside and not the heat.

HVAC system is used inside the showroom with power saving air conditioners.

Fresh air ventilation is also taken into consideration. It is a RCC framed stilt + 2 floor structure with a workshop at backside.

PROCESS

The Double-skin facade is a system of building consisting of two skins placed in such a way that air flows in the intermediate cavity.

The ventilation of the cavity can be natural, fan supported or mechanical. Apart from the type of the ventilation inside the cavity, the origin and destination of the air can differ depending mostly on climatic conditions, the use, the location, the occupational hours of the building and the HVAC strategy.

The glass skins can be single or double glazing units with a distance from 20 cm up to 2 metres. Often, for protection and heat extraction reasons during the cooling period, solar shading devices are placed inside the cavity.

GROUP WORK D O C U M E N T A T I O N

Nisha’s Playschool, Goa

Architect- GERARD DA CUNHA

The project was a group assignment of documenting the Nisha’s Playschool at Goa in the form of model after the visit and detailed study of it during the study tour. Nisha’s Playschool also known as SHIKSHA NIKETAN stands out with its ideal campus for a primary school in Goa. Set in a lush green valley in Goa, its design aims to create a playful, safe and stimulating learning environment. On the steep slope of the site, the architect has created different levels of spatial experiences connected vertically by a chute for children and stairs.The building design and form evolved from the need to optimize daylighting and enhance natural ventilation. Skylights, light-shelves, windows and smaller openings in the brickwork provide plentiful light for daytime activities on all storeys of the building. Courtyards with trees are not merely means of ventilation but also serve as indoor play spaces for the children. Around the courtyards are the activity spaces – classrooms, a Doll Room, a Socially Useful Productive Workroom and rooms for music and dance. Brick arches, sometimes set so low that adults have to stoop to enter, become the doorless entryways.

Furniture is designed specially for the age group using the space. The classrooms open into small gardens and outdoor seating. Building elements in different shapes and colors become teaching aids to convey ideas of form and color. Recycled metal bars come together to create the functional yet aesthetic grills for windows and balconies.

The toilets are covered in delightful marine-life inspired mosaics made from broken tiles.

The highlight of the outdoor amphitheate r is the walls made from recycled beer bottles arranged in artistic patterns.

DESIGN F U R N I T U R E

Practical experience of designing a wall mounted furniture .The main idea was to create a shelf with various open blocks which can be used for various purposes. after various sketches reached to this design with partly open and partly closed shelves. open shelves for keeping anythings like books showpieces and closed for keeping photoframes or important showpieces.design is kind of playing with the lines getting stuck to each other at various levels and creating a netwrok through them. the element is made in pine wood with a 2” thk wood and 9” depth and with a polished surface..

A 1st year BASIC DESIGN assignment of choosing any of the vegetable and to a make an abstract component through it. LADYFINGER used to create an abstract module. The section of the ladyfinger cut horizontally shows the surface layer as shown in the images. by using them as a basic concept and module various layers are created. the placement of the layers are not in a straight manner but in a random manner showing the abstractness of it. hence a ladyfinger structure formed by joining the various section of it. The upper 3 components defines the seeds seen 10 in the section.
