PROJECT TYPE: INSTITUTIONAL CLIMATE: COMPOSITE SITE: AMARAVATI, ANDHRA PRADESH SITE AREA :94,543.49 SFT
▪
The thesis emerges from the concern of the way Islam, as a religion, is negatively perceived by many in today’s times.
01 THESIS
The response to design a center for advanced Islamic studies which provides a platform to impart proper knowledge regarding Islamic teachings and belief would promote friendship amongst people of all cultures and present the true face of Islam. ▪
It takes up the job of bridging the gap between modern and religious education. The thesis proposes to construct an institute which would cater to higher Islamic education along with other research and supporting facilities
▪
The objective in designing such a center is to open gates of Islamic education to all members of the society. The center also aims to exhibit the research and art works of various students and foreign delegates and help them to spiritually involve through a spatial experience.
ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
▪
The objective behind this project was to Integrate Islamic principles of designing and space planning without compromising the functionality of the building
▪
To establish co-ordination among the different blocks on the site and the other spaces that are required to complete the whole design of an institute.
▪
To incorporate elements such as jalis and arches for openings, this will also provide a play of light and shadow.
Residential block dome
▪
The project also incorporates light and shadow as a special topic because In Islamic architecture, light plays an influential role in designing the interiors of mosques and other buildings. According to the Quran, light represents the sanctity of God and it was one of God’s very first creations, so natural light symbolizes the presence of God in a structure
▪
Arch: Arches are important in Islamic architecture, because of their symbolic significance and how they reflect the important aspects such as unity, beauty and light. Arches symbolize the division between sacred and secular space
▪
Domes: The use of circular domes lit dim interiors into vast spaces that have a weightless quality. This is achieved by the use of numerous windows on domes, which allow natural light to pour through and create lighting effects on the dome ceilings, as well as accent and emphasize different parts of the interior surfaces
▪
Screens / Jalis : This feature exemplifies the use of the ornament in Islamic art and architecture. The jali pattern not only adds elegance but also help in enhancing the space without reducing the area.
