CLIENT State Infrastructure & Industrial Development Corp , Uttarkhand

SIZE 35,,000 sqm

ABOUT THE PROJECT The office building is a self shading structure designed for total solar exclusion for a designated period of time. The design minimises energy consumption and is derived from a LISP routine.

The LISP programmes generates a series of polylines based on local solar geometry which then are selected to generate floor plates while maintaing the site setback conditions. The cantilevered floor plates were analysed to avoid direct glare thus enabling high

glazing ratios for good daylighting. The final building form was then rationalized based on structural inputs.

The triangular building has a fully glazed double faced with a strip atrium to avoid solar gain from the west. The triangular office has flexible floor plates that can used as one or in parts.
