The future of the ornamentation is direct towards new technological paradigms with advance techniques of creation and production.
In interior architecture, the use of color, texture, and the visual qualities inherent in material and structure replace the articulation of elements by contemporary ornamentation generated with the notion of functionalism. The ornament has resurfaced with its new identity of being functional, structural, and aesthetical. Ornamentation has implied itself for being versatile in designing interior spaces. The resurgence of ornament supported by digital means, advanced material, construction techniques, modern expression, and abstract ideas serving the purpose of functionality. These can be termed as new age ornamentation.

GO NOMAD BE HOME is a fi rm of a live in couple. Their fi rm offers consultancy to outsiders who look for live socio-cultural experience in day to day living. They are working from home. So they are willing to convert their house into office and living space which can run effectively in a pol house.Volumetric interactions between three activities is criteria to design spaces along with client requirements and business activities. These can be interpreted as intangibles and those non spatial words/traits can be transformed to spatial verb.
06 Synthesis Studio: Mixed Use
Learning Outcome : Development of space from non spatial words through abstract model which further derived into spatial words. Thereby, transforming spaces and volume using those spatial words and its qualities keeping in mind programmatic requirements and site context.

Interior Working Drawing
Kitchen was designed keeping in mind the ratio between hearth,sink and refridgerator which has to be less than 7.5. Space planning, storage, material exploration, finishes, electrical layout were also considered and construction drawing were made with the complete specifications.
07 Interior Working Drawing
The aim was to learn the ergonomics of the activities happening in the space, factors involved in designing kitchen and bathroom, making construction drawing, specifi cation writing, development of whole to part details and market survey.
Working drawigs of entire project were made.
Bathroom is mainly divided into three zones wet, semi dry and dry. Also the space planning, services, partitions, flooring junctions, countertop junctions , shelving details and material exploration were given equal importance.
