Institutional design Udupi, Karnataka
Vrtti ‘(ವೃತ್ತಿ , Kannada for vocation) is a vocational training institute for the villagers in the Udupi district. Its location is central to the villages that surround Manipal, giving learners easy access to the institute. Vrtti aims to be a space to upskill and inspire budding entrepreneurs from marginalized backgrounds to create and fulfill their dreams
This project focuses on the use of local and alternate building materials to promote sustainability and to make the institute feel like a home away from home.
The 2.5 acre site is situated in Padavu, on the outskirts of Manipal. It is located beside the main road that connects several villages used by daily workers to get to Manipal. The site is flat and secluded.
The site has two entries - a main entry and a service entry The main entry onlooks the main road.
The main building in the project has three courtyards that help in cooling and also double up as spill-out spaces.
Main Building Floor Plans
The building is zoned such that,
The technical classrooms and workshops at the end/periphery of the site
The spill out/gathering spaces are in the middle
The admin, classes and quieter spaces are toward the front of the site
Use of laterite stone for construction and Mangalore tiles for the roofing.
True potential is latent and needs watering to be brought out. Vansh (Sanskrit forlineage) is a seed that is a home to many, where roots start to form and lifestyles are created. As the saying goes, everything starts from home.
The challenge of this project is to successfully design a housing society for three different income groups - EWS, MIG & HIG
The project can be divided into 3,
The income generated from the sale of HIG houses and the commercial stores on the ground floor helps in making the project feasible and drives the economy.
Flexibility is the key take on the low-cost housing project. Multifunctional design for the spaces and the use of partitions is the design approach.
The 2.5 acre site is situated in Malpe by the harbour. There are several migrant worker shelters nearby generating a scope for low-cost housing. The site is considered suitable for a housing project based on proximity analysis as all basic facilities are a 5 - 10 minutes walk away
The site is flat There are 3 different entry points to the site. Site
