‘Remodelling residences’: the focus of this studio was space planning and organization. The students were required to understand the users and stakeholders; to respond to an actual site and its context; to respond to climate; and to identify and choose an appropriate structural system. We studied prototypical ‘Pol houses’ to understand and appreciate the traditional vernacular house and utilize and incorporate its wisdom in the new design. The task was to design a residence for a family including five people.
The site is located in the pol of the old city of Ahmedabad and is a pol house in a completely dilapidated and broken state. Some elements such as windows, doors, wooden columns, beams, joists, staircase etc. have been salvaged. These salvaged elements were supposed to be reused in the new design. The task was to design a residence for the family on the given site keeping in mind the individual needs of the family members while responding to the site context and the climatic conditions.
The students had to make an overall design which reused the salvaged elements from the old structure and proposed a structural system while planning the interior spaces along with furniture layouts.
