Abstract :

In the course of study, if you are searching for something you need to ask a question to your self and through that question you will find the answer, which will lead you to other questions. For me, this is the process of study.

This dissertation is about my experiences throughout the year and process of searching my first few questions, as I begun this topic as a study.

-------

What I want to study?

Why I chose that study?

How will I find my question’s answer?

What will I get from this study?

How will I implement that study into the design?

What will I learn from this study?

For these kind of questions first of all, I saw my all academic works which I have done in the past five year journey. In this exercise, I found out that there is one method of working and I always try to incorporate that while I am designing, but I have refined this method of working for better understanding.

I always try to design by playing with shapes and forms as a tool of organization of spaces. But, that tool which I was using was not efficient enough. So I decided to make that my query and tried to organize a method where I can explore.

In this study, I tried to identify the different approaches where people explore geometry as tool of organization. Through this study, I understood different methods of working with geometry. I choose one method and tried to explore it in my study.

To implement my learning, I have designed National Institute of Design which is a proposed at Kurukshetra. The tools of designing the spaces of this institute are geometry and proportion.

Introduction Idea: questions of shape, size and position of figures and the properties of space. Geometry is an ancient Greek word which when broken down, means GEO - “EARTH” and MARTON “MEASUREMENT”. 1 Geometry is the study of order through the measurement and its relationship with the generation of forms. There are many kinds of geometries like Euclidean geometry, Projective geometry, Analytic geometry, Non-Euclidean geometry, Topology, Fractal geometry and Descriptive geometry, etc.

Architecture begins with geometry. Since earliest times, architects have relied on Mathematical principles. The ancient roman architect Marcus Vitruvius believed that builders should always use exact ratios when constructing temples. For without symmetry and proportion no temple can have a regular plan. 2

If we see Egyptian architecture, the pyramids are built using geometry and proportion, the most renowned being the pyramid of Giza. In Greek architecture, elements like Pedestal, Column, Frieze and Pediment are used, which are highly symmetrical and derived from geometric shapes. In Gothic architecture, the scale and proportions are used to generate facades. In Islamic architecture, structure of buildings and also the details of elements like jaali create a pattern, while at the same time following the strict principles of geometry.

If we see any architect’s building, we surely identify building in which geometry is used as a tool for plan making. Different people use geometry in different ways. Adolf loos used geometry as a proportioning tool in his building, Villa Miller. In Villa Rotunda, Palladio used this as a proportion system, hierarchy and to determine the scale of building.

In the modern era, good examples of the usage of geometry and proportion are found in the works of Louis I. Kahn and Le Corbusier. In Louis I. Kahn’s work, the primal severity of form was an iconic end in itself. In Louis I. Kahn’s philosophy, Geometry plays major role in designing. Louis I. Kahn himself uses a different geometrical language to describe his design.

Aim:

Scope and limitation:

"To understand Geometry as tool for development of plan and its relation with proportions to create building form and spaces of National Institute of Design at Kurukshetra."

The purpose of the study is to understand how geometric discipline used in institute,

Objectives: ►► To understand the role of architecture and geometrical form applied in design an institute. ►► To understand the relationship between organization of space and geometrical forms. ►► To understand the character of buildings which are designed using geometry and proportions. ►► To understand the modular system and its implementation in design.

►► I will only focus on geometry with respect to proportion, space organization, built form and expression of the building. ►► Design will be explored in the basis of geometric proportion where functions play major role to generate the built forms. ►► Design does not focus on services such as HVAC, electric supply system, plumbing, etc. rather the functionality and usage.

Methodology: ►► Formal study of geometry and proportion in institutional buildings. ►► Formal study of buildings designed on the basis of: -- Form based geometry -- Structure based geometry -- Function based geometry ►► Research based Case studies based on based on the above mentioned criteria. ►► Conceptual design of an institute in which geometry and proportions as theory are used. ►► Development of a design by the implementation of the inferences from the case studies.

“Form Is Realization Of Inseparable Characteristics.” - Louis I. Kahn

In Le Corbusier’s work, proportions were used for the achieving graceful and harmonious structures. Le Corbusier used proportion to generate the building language, through fins, masses and voids. He said that the plan is the generator, without a plan you have lack of order and wilfulness.

►► Function based Geometry :

In this criteria, the focus is on how geometry and functions are related to each other. How geometry changes according to change in functions and also how geometry repeated for one and more functions.

1. the inquest

These are the three building studied to understand shapes and form useful for organization of spaces.

Criteria for Research based Case study

The aim of this study is to understand Geometry as a tool to achieve plan formation and how geometry is related to proportions, I have to study buildings where these tools are used So I tried to identify few building based on three criteria : -- Form based Geometry -- Structure based Geometry -- Function based Geometry

On the basis of these three criteria, I have selected three buildings each for further study. ►► Form based Geometry :

In this criteria, the focus is on how basic shapes are useful for generating building spaces and form and how one shape is related to another.

These are the three buildings studied to understand how shapes and form are useful in organization of spaces.

-- National Assembly Building at Dhaka by Louis I. Kahn -- Indian Institute of Management at Ahmedabad by Louis I. Kahn -- Philips Exeter Library at Rocking ham by Louis I. Kahn

►► Structure based Geometry :

In this criteria, I have focused on how basic structural modules are useful for generating spaces and forms and how these spaces are organized within these modules.

How can we achieve building spaces through repetition of one particular module.

These are the three building I have studied to understand how structural modules are useful for organization of spaces.

To find similarities in all these buildings, I had to put them into common layers so I can relate them with each other. These are the layers which are used to understand the buildings: 1. Geometry in Plan :

-- To understand the organization and usage of geometry in the building

2. Geometric Pattern in the building :

-- How shapes patterns are used for organization of spaces

3. Spatial Organization :

-- By understanding geometry of plan how spatial organization is achieved.

4. Built vs. Open :

-- Relation of open spaces and built spaces.

5. Circulation :

-- Circulation and movement in the building to understand relation of scale and volume.

6. Scale and Volume in Section :

-- Scale and volume are useful to understand spaces into 3rd dimension and how these spaces are related to human scale.

7. Building Form :

-- Through all of these layers how building form is generated.

This study is done to achieve the aim of this dissertation . These inferences are used further process of designing.

is 150 kmts. away from the Kurukshetra.

So I can relate and understand the region climate, organization and the how the sizes of open spaces matter while designing an institute in this region.

2.4 Criteria for programmatic case study

In this chapter, the focus is on the distribution of spaces, what kind of spaces are required for this type of institute, what kind of organization is followed for on campus spaces and activities.

I have gone through these three building for understanding programmatic case studies: 1. National Institute of Design at Ahmedabad 2. Melbourne Institute of Design at Melbourne 3. Visual Art Center at Rohtak 1. National Institute of Design at Ahmedabad

In this building, the focus is on the functional spaces and their relation with the distribution of these spaces, and the kind of workshops, studios and other spaces required. What is the space requirement according the functions.

2. Melbourne Institute of Design at Melbourne

I have chosen this building because, here all the functions are placed within the one mass and are used by everyone. And also to understand how common gathering spaces and multifunctional spaces work.

To understand how functions are incorporated in design institute building, I have placed these 3 buildings on a common platform to look for the similarities. These are the layers which are used for understand the buildings.

1. Organization of spaces :

-- In this layer the focus is on the organization of spaces and their relation with Open - Semi open - Built spaces.

2. Interrelated spaces:

-- How spaces are interrelated with functions

3. Circulation:

-- Collaborating the organization and circulation path.

4. Built vs. Open :

-- Relation between the open spaces and built spaces.

5. Functional spaces built within one mass : -- What kind of functional spaces built within the built mass and what kind of spaces can be placed near the building mass.

6. Scale and Volume in Section :

-- Scale and volumes are useful to understand spaces in the 3rd dimension and how these spaces are related to the human scale.

7. Building Form :

-- Through all of these layers how building form can be generated.

This study is used for achieving program of this institute and also to organize spaces. Where and what kind of spaces I have to place, how much I need the space as in sizes.

Freedom to take a risk as a designing student one has to learn that. If one is restricted, he/ she cannot experience anything new. Freedom for choice, where opinions are of great importance and one should learn to choose what they want or prefer. It also gives the students to an opportunity to open up their mind and adapt flexibility.

In this chapter I have tried to represent this idea into my deign.

4. Implication 4.1 idea for institute Every institute has a motto and philosophy behind their education system. This Philosophy is represented into their students and culture of the institute and it reflects onto their works and life style. As a designer of the building, we have to reflect this idea into the built environment and we have to make these kinds of spaces where idea is reflect to the people who live in that space.

“Learning To Know and Learning To Do” - Gautam Sarabhai NID is based on creative field toward designing. It is a one of the finest college of designing in India and also acknowledged internationally. It has its own identity which is reflected in the culture of the institute and the students’ life style. The designing students are more creative and have freedom to achieve everything. There are no restriction toward their work and are encouraged to achieve their ideas or design. The attitude will be fearless, more flexible, and more confident. For that I have chosen few words as a concept and base my design development. These are that words which are reflected into any students of design field: Courage, Equality, Faith, Freedom, Opinion, Power and Risk.

Forms which I had chosen reflect in my design as a base of designing.

-- EQUALITY -- POWER -- FREEDOM ►►

EQUALITY :

►►

POWER :

►►

FREEDOM :

Everyone is at the same place no one is better than another. Students - Faculties - Staff are the same platform, so the environment is more flexible and they share their space with each other.

Power shows the boldness in attitude. As a designing students they have to be bold and take a stand for their idea and towards their work. Because if you have the courage and power, you will achieve the idea and try to do something new.

Fig. 214. Basic module of the square and relation with each other numbers.

►► In the process of conceptualization the idea of the institute has been kept in mind into scale so I can make spaces with dimensional and proportionate. ►► Geometry as tool of designing in the case studies as criteria of understanding structure based on geometry. In these inferences, I have looked on how one module can help for making spaces and how they used for organization. ►► I have taken average human height as 1.65mts and according to anthropometry. If one man stands in a space with his hands up, he needs 2.12 mts. For him to access and if two men stand with straight hand and additional space they need approx. 4.2 mts. as shown in figure no: 233 ►► According to geometric method of halving the square, area of the large square is twice the area of smaller one. I took 4.2mts x 4.2mts. square and make smaller square and large the square according to this halving method. So I have get series of numbers where I can take that number as modules.

5. Design 5.1 design process

According to the module system and learning and inferences from the case studies.

I have developed this structure based on geometry as a tool for organization of spaces and through this I have tried to achieve the planning of spaces.

But the organization can be placed in many ways, so I took a tree as an analogy for organization. Here the branches are used as different departments of the institute.

Administration area, Studios, Workshops placed according to the analogy of tree. As per the analogy, when branches divide from the trunk that node is defined as the sharing point of the branch. So that node of tree is used as the node for approaching spaces within individual spaces.

The hierarchy of nodes is used for making open and accessible spaces for another activities spaces. These are the nodes where everyone can meet and it act as a common sharing courtyard.

Branches are used for defining the space of different departments as they are organized according to the tree analogy.

As a motto of institute is “Freedom�, so all the spaces are connected to each other. All the spaces can be accessible by everyone and there is no restriction for circulation. Each branch is different but they are connected to each other.

With the motto of institute, Analogy of tree and using the Module, the spaces are organized accordingly.

►► According to the Aim, geometry is used in the organization of spaces in the plan and it has relation with proportion to create volumes. ►► In these sections I have tried to incorporate same modules for facade treatment, mass of building, window size also relating the module. ►► Administration area is 3 mts high. ►► In workshops the clear height is 4.2 mts. because of the functions. ►► Studio space are 3 mts height. ►► Semi open spaces are 2.1 mts high so when one comes from outside, through semi open space into the workspace, the experience of height changes according to functions. ►► For circulation I have taken width and height 2.1mts. When spaces change, the scale changes accordingly to modules. ►► Ground floor functional spaces have open space as ground but when you climb up the first floor and second floor they have terraces which act as a ground for that.
