WORKSHOPS DESIGN INTENT The intent is to make a seating under the tree shade. The curve which is formed around the tree will incorporate with the tree’s form and some point goes under the tree branch and form an encloser for a part of the structures. Next, the concrete debris collected was broken down into smaller fragments. Another important material required for COB was straw. So the next group of students were assigned to cut the straw to shorter lengths, and soak it in water to ease its mixing with the mud and mortar. Lastly, students marked out a grid in place on the ground, as a guide to finally mark the proposed plan on the site. The given raw materials in fixed proportions- the dry materials, viz. sand and mud were first mixed together. Then, the mix was combined with the straw and an organic plant stabiliser by stamping them together. A foundation of random rubble and concrete debris. The larger gaps formed between the rubble was first filled with jelly. The finer gaps then created were compacted and packed with a mix of mud and sand. The cob mixed the previous day had dried out. to revive the mix, they mixed it with a little water to form a very stiff mud. With the mud prepared..The these roughly ovoid lumps were introduced into the foundation that had been laid. The units were packed into the foundation and the structure had started taking form.
