Hotel Green Habitat A Five Star Business Hotel
Project Intent: Academic Design Studio Semester VI Project Date: January, 2017 Site: Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh

Block Inception
The conceptual block initially developed responds to site layout. Boundaries are broken and typology of hotel is re-defined.
Concept Development 16
Solid Void Relation
The ancillary functions in hotel are placed on ground with voids to be be filled with tree covers later serving as interior landscapes.
Green Floor
A level above healthcare facilities with primary function as a service floor is treated with green floor cover, short root landscaping and creepers along louvred facades.
Habitable Rooms
Green roofs are spread above restaurants and above entrance lobby. The landscaped floor is shaded by the floors with hotel rooms and corridors.
Green Slab & Core
Floor slab of each typical room layout floor is extended to form bands of niches for vegetation. The niches in between room arrangments covered with trellis to form green walls with scaffolding.
Facade Treatment
Finally wooden louvres are placed for passive cooling and sufficient shading from the south sun. Clerestory windows are fitted in lobbies and banquets for natural daylighting. Green habitat is concieved.

The building will serve as an intersection for locals at the two ends of the city to interact and exchange modern as well as traditional cultures, both symbolically and functionally. The multiple socio-cultural layers of both Old and New Bhopal come together in this building through interlinking terraces.

The open air theatre is inspired by the chaotic identity of delhi in the form of staggered forms of steps and shadings beside blankets of green cover.
The overall structures are metallic tubular exoskeletons with PTFE translucent sheets and the internal floors supported by columns and tie beams.
The form of the structures symbolise a dialogue between each other and with the public. To a layman it seems as if two colossal forms are having a conversation.
33
Site Section The dialogue between the forms on site and with the public is evidence to the fact that articulation of form and space with the intention of bringing out the cultural diversity in the public of delhi is visually satiable. The performing arts center lays the seed of opportunities for the enthusiastic public to portray their inner talents and spread their fame to the remotest corners of India.

The family of Sarod Ghara, taught by the disciples of Tansen followed the culture and gave rise to Sarod Gharana.

The dispersion of a spatial logic established in Sarod Ghar led to a spatial order which when kept parallel to the social order led to a musical religion and Sarod Gharana. Thus establishing a cultural and architectural connect.
