CONTEXT 2 1.1 Bhutan being a Buddhist Country which was isolated for many years from the rest of the world. Buddhism was brought to Bhutan from India in the 7th century. It was India that encouraged Bhutan to abandon its policy of self imposed isolation. The purpose to build Bhutanese cultural centre here in Delhi is not just to improve the relationship between Bhutan and India but It would also help people from rest of the world to learn, understand about Bhutanese culture.
1.2 Bhutan has already set an example for other nations throughout the world by being a country who truly believes in Sustainability. Being a student of Interior Architecture first thing which I personally took back from Bhutan is that our country should also take steps towards sustainable design. In a developing country like India that is racing towards becoming ’developed’ at a maddening, breakneck pace. Where Architects or Designers neglect about the environment or mostly sustainable models are failed. Towards designing this Bhutan Culture Centre how can I contribute towards environment and simultaneously Bhutanese people should feel as if they are visiting their home. Delhi being the Capital of India and large metro city where people are living from all across the world, Even Non – Bhutanese people should also get that spirit and essence of Bhutan on their visit to Culture Centre.
2.1 On a Study trip to Bhutan where we got some topics for research. Which include 1. Flora and Fauna, 2. Climate, 3. Motifs, 4. Furniture, 5. Scale and proportion, 6. Spatial organization, 7. Materiality, 8. Structural systems, 9. Roofing. Where I personally got Spatial organization for research with two other group mates. The Bhutan which is already a carbon negative country as of 2018. 60-70 percentage of its geographical area is covered with forest. Bhutan set an example for other nations being a carbon negative country. Also, they championed a new approach for their development which measures prosperity through formal principles of Gross National Happiness which is based on the principles of Vajrayana Buddhism. On the basis of the new approach which not only considers the happiness of human beings but also on their surroundings. Their concern towards environment and sustainable model in Architecture got my huge attraction.
2.2 Learnings from interviews: To understand more about the thoughts of Bhutanese people about their nostalgic feeling toward their home country, some of students went from our college for interviewing Bhutanese people around Delhi. Also asked about the culture of both countries and what they think that India can learn from Bhutan. There were different answers from different people. Out of that some shared they don’t like the environment of Delhi which is polluted and they love to spend time when they are either in Himachal, Dharamshala where they feel like home. Answer related to the environment was common in most of them.
CONTEXT 2 2.3 Learning from the last two points about Bhutan Visit and from personal interviews, the first thought which came into my mind was that how I can design something by which people feel like as if they are visiting their home while visiting this cultural centre. From my Bhutan trip where I got inspired by their approach of GNH (Gross National Happiness) which not just respects and concern about human beings but everything in their surroundings because we all are interconnected. Bhutan which has already set a milestone for other countries by being a carbon negative country which helped me to take this decision of designing this cultural centre in such a way where I can reduce the usage of natural resources. In the interview where Bhutanese people talked about their nostalgic feelings towards their home country most of them had similar answer which too was related to the environment of Bhutan. These few things which was leading towards same direction evokes me to take this decision of designing this cultural centre in such a way which can make Bhutanese people like home on their visit to Cultural centre. Also if I feel the thing which really inspired me and made me learn about the Architecture of Bhutan which is based on the Sustainable Design and contributing towards the environment in positive manner. To really take this learning forward and apply it in my designing towards Cultural centre.

West facing and east facing side of the building gets shading from neighboring buildings. Northwest and NorthEast quadrants of the building receives direct sunlight There are fixed windows in the front part of the building and no cross ventilation is happening. The front part of the building which is North facing receives an ample amount of light. There are few openable windows at the east façade of the building and on the rear part of the building. Quality of space deteriorates when we move towards Lift Lobby. Building which is connected to inner ring road from entrance side receives more noise pollution at the peak hours. In Summers, front space of building receives direct sunlight from 10 am to 1 pm approx. At north east quadrant and around 5 pm – 6 pm from northwest quadrant.

Development Alternatives building became my final case study towards designing bhutanese cultural centre where I choose the concept on applying passive designing techniques in the context of Delhi. To understand about the building I critically analyzed it by looking at every facade of the building like how the orientation is being done according to the sun path. What elements are used to cut direct sun light. This building became my prime point to understand that how should we treat facade.
Angular windows are made on the west facing facade, some part of this building falls in the northwest quadrant to stop direct sunlight . During summers northwest side of window is blocked and window is made on the south west side Fig. 64

Shaded and reflector elements are used on this facade Some part of the facade falls in northwest quadrant and some in the northeast. During summers northwest quadrant receives direct sun light from around 2pm till 5:30 pm
Process 2 6.1
Research Paper Before looking at the at the site building we also look at the larger context of site which covers its immediate environment, climatic conditions and how the building responds to the climate. Benefits from the surroundings for final proposal : • There are buildings on the both west and east side of site which cast shadow on the both facades which helps to cut the direct sunlight. • There are planters, trees at the entrance of the building which enhance the view from inside the building. • Open spaces or temporary covered spaces helps in the cross ventilation and to get better daylight.
Fig. 68
Process 2 6.2
Landscape Strategy There is tree which is giving shading to the south facade of the building . As there was no or less cross ventilation. Also due to tree which is covering the south facade which allow minimal daylight to the building even in the winters. Taking inspiration from the Brick Cave project I proposed the idea of giving perforated wall to enhance the view, better cross ventilation and for better day light for the building.
6.3
Fig. 69
Damage the existing structure After understanding the existing building’s orientation where there were fixed glass windows were installed and only Air Conditioners were installed for the ventilation. In the middle of the building quality of the space deteriorate due to less amount of day light. And some parts of the northwest and northeast quadrant which receives direct sun. As my main aim of the designing this cultural centre was to improve the quality of space, allow more day light, cutting the direct sun light, and also to give more cross ventilation. For this at initial stage towards designing it I was proposing the idea of courtyard. Which didn’t worked out in the existing building. Which acted as shaft. Later to make space better I worked on the every facade of the building. Then I only removed and broke down walls.

Like every Architectural context is inter connected similarly, the set back are and the side ways are connected to the interior part of the building. Set back which is temporary covered space used for the restaurant sitting and the idea of the perforated wall enhance the quality of space. That’s how interior spaces came out better when linked with exterior. And when we welcome nature into our interior space for example the idea of courtyard welcomes the rain inside the building which connects it to the exterior space.

Concept We went for Study trip to Bhutan in January, 2019. The Bhutan which is already a carbon negative country as of 2018. 60-70 percentage of its geographical area is covered with forest. Bhutan already set an example for other nations being a carbon negative country. Also, they championed a new approach for their development which measures prosperity through formal principles of Gross National Happiness which is based on the principles of Vajrayana Buddhism. On the basis of the new approach which not only considers the happiness of human beings but also on their surroundings. Their concern towards environment and sustainable model in Architecture got my huge attraction. To understand more about the thoughts of Bhutanese people about their nostalgic feeling toward their home country, some of students went from our college for interviewing Bhutanese people around Delhi. Also asked about the culture of both countries and what they think that India can learn from Bhutan. There were different answers from different people. Out of that some shared they don’t like the environment of Delhi which is polluted and they love to spend time when they are either in Himachal, Dharamshala where they feel like home. Answer related to the environment was common in most of them.
Their concern towards environment and sustainable model in Architecture got my huge attraction. On my Bhutan trip where I got inspired by their approach of GNH (Gross National Happiness) which not just respects and concern about human beings but everything in their surroundings because we all are interconnected. Bhutan which has already set a milestone for other countries by being a carbon negative country which helped me to take this decision of designing this cultural centre in such a way where I can reduce the usage of natural resources. Taking inspiration from Bhutan and other things which was giving me an opportunity to explore something new which I had never done in my course of learning so I thought of working on this idea where I can not just understand that how buildings are made with passive techniques but also where I can make it as my philosophy of working in future projects. For understanding this I studied about different buildings around Delhi both secondary and primary that how buildings respond to the climate in context of Delhi. Delhi’s environment which is hot dry and warm humid where 9 months of the year its summer and the buildings are designed according to it. So I finally chose the concept of implementing passive designing strategies in the context of Delhi.

Design Iterations Understanding from the case study of Development alternatives on the process of the final design I tried to proposed this idea of using Scanned with CamScanner partitions which can also be reflectors to improve the quality of space in the mid of the building. But it didn’t worked later on where in the Northwest quadrant on the ground floor there is shading created by nebhouring buildings.

FF Plan Iteration After understanding about the site environmental factors and learnings from the case study. I tried many things to reduce the usage of natural resources working with the idea of courtyard, to improve the quality of space and to reduce the direct sun, to provide passive techniques of cross ventilation etc. After critically looking at the site where direct sun enters from the northwest and northeast quadrant. I proposed this idea of pushing the walls back to cut direct sun on first floor and tried to create space which can be utilized for sitting and other activities.

Connection of Intellectual and spiritual space
Intellectual and spiritual space at first floor taking the inspiration of the Hindu temple’s architecture where it welcomes the devotee to the garb griha. For connecting both the spaces there is visual connection from reading room to the library also from the circulation space. For creating an experience for visitor to physically connect to the space the idea of prayer wheels is being implemented taking inspiration form the dzong.

Personal Professional Development How Understanding of broader context makes the design richer ? As Bhutan is Carbon Negative country also as a nation they believe in sustainability, Its 60 – 70 percentage of geographical area is covered with forests. Learning from this broader context of Bhutan‘s environment. I choose the concept of implementing the passive design strategies for designing the Bhutanese cultural centre in the context of Delhi‘s environment which will not just helps to reduce the cost of Project but also will help in reducing the usage of natural resources. For a product designer, while making design they will not just look at the how the product will be used by the people but also how it will create impact psychologically on human mind. So they look at the larger context to gain it. It creates value and helps to make the design richer.
13.2 There are many different ways of understanding the existing building like how services are done, understanding about the activities happening in the space. Looking at its both quantitative and qualitative measures. Taking about qualitative measures where comes the quality of space, psychology of space, how building acts or reacts in its’s environment. For example nebhouring buildings act as the shading element of existing building. We can also analyze it through studying about it’s materiality.
Personal Professional Development Importance of abstraction as essential element in Design Abstraction is absence of something, In Design if we talk about the abstraction it started somewhere in the late 19th and early 20th century. It became the core of the Modern Movement as it simplifies the design. Abstraction in Architecture made bare bones as essential element in Buildings. Columns and beams are important elements of buildings as they functions like skeletons of the building. These days we hide columns in the walls or we create walls along side columns in Interiors to create uniformity in space planning. Columns and beams are though may not be visible but it upholds the building it functions as the backbone of the buildings which keeps the high rise building firm prevents it from earthquakes. In the process, of building the bhutanese cultural centre my one objective was to create the space where people can feel as if there are visiting their home. To connect it with the spirit of Bhutan not just visually but also in the spirit and physically. For this after coming to India when we started with our design development it took me to flash back to create this aura I started listening to bhutanese music at home. All these activities are abstraction to create or gain something. This act as an essential element for me in designing bhutanese cultural centre.
Different ways of looking and analyzing case studies •
First of all before looking or analysing at any case study it is important to know that in what context are we doing. Case studies can be done through different possible ways:
•
Looking at immediate surroundings, orientation of building . This angular window façade shown in fig. 98 is at Development Alternatives Building in Delhi facing towards west side. Some part this Building falls in north-west quadrant. So to to stop direct sunlight during summers northwest side of window is blocked. It is also important to look at immediate surroundings of particular Building to know the space better in terms of functionality, space planning etc. For example in case of ISBF there are Building on its east and west side which creates shading on side elevations. (Fig.99). Also it is connected to inner ring so in the peak hours there is so much noise being created by the honks of vehicles and regular traffic also disturbs the environment of Institutional Building.
•
Look at the Building through different contexts Physical Context which covers the materials used in the build , about the services. Materials are very important aspect to cover in our case studies because every material has its embodied energy. Environmental Context in this context we can study about how Buildings respond to climate so for that it's important to know about the orientation of the building, also to know about the climatic conditions of particular place where Building is situated. For example, Delhi has composite climate which is hot dry and warm humid. Political context through this context we learn about the bye-laws. Economical Context through this context selection of location, services and technology is being decided for example according to the scale of project and the budget the selection of location is being done.

Environmental Strategies 13.8 Delhi which has hot dry and warm humid climate. Where average temperature in hot dry goes down to 21 degree Celsius in night and reaches to 43 degree celsius in the day. And in the warm humid average temperature goes down to 24 degree celsius in the night and reaches unto 32 degree in the day. So the buildings should be designed in a manner to give comfort to its user. In hot dry season, which is less humid and under 30 degree celsius with the proper cross ventilation there is no requirement for using air conditioners. But where as in the warm humid or hot humid climate it became uncomfortable for person without using air conditioners for ventilation because in warm humid season the relative humidity goes till 95% and air becomes more moist. Under 60 % of relative humidity is considered as normal. To give comfort to the user of any space, there are common techniques which can help not just to make people comfortable but also to reduce the usage of natural resources such as providing cross ventilation, cutting the direct sun light, maximizing daylight, also some other passive techniques can be used for reducing the temperature in the building. It also depends on the choice of material because every material has its embodied energy ( energy which is used while making the material, how much natural resources it is using and also the crude oil which is used for the transportation of material. ) choice of material may be seem as the small thing in smaller context but in larger context it is also connected to the environment. If we choose material with less embodied energy we can make energy efficient buildings. Also by using passive cooling techniques we can make more comfortable spaces. For example : NIFT ,Jaipur by using the earthen pots in the ceiling for roof insulation and by using passive cooling method of water bodies which helped it to reduce the temperature inside the building
