CONCEPT AND FORM DEVELOPEMENT

Dense tree cover on site

Stepped terraces formed for views

DESIGN PRINCIPLES • Strong sea winds can harm the structure if they hit perpendicular to the building surface.

• Curved building face deflects the wind hence reducing the speed, minimizing the damage.

It also improves the sunlight access to the trees in void.

LANDSCAPE OF COLORS

• ‘Rudiments’ means a basic principle or element. In the context of the brief, rudiments relates to the idea of landscape being a primary or foundation element to keep in mind while designing.

• The site chosen is the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal (IISER-B). The residential and the academic block are separated by a series of empty pockets which have been chosen to design landscape.

Designing landscape comprises of understanding the sciences of organisms, the symbiotic relationships of the man with nature while also keeping in mind the natural aesthetics of designing and the interconnection of the above come together to fuse a working landscape design.

COLOR SPECTRUM

28

Color blocking is used as a concept in design as bright and vibrant colors are proven to evoke positive emotions like playfullness, serenity and warmth in different people.

THE COLLONADE

The site has a central pathway running throughout its expanse and is covered by a collonade. The collonade passes through the various academic blocks interconnecting them and frames the views.

29

Colorblocking has been done using both artificial and natural methods.

1. THINKING CORNER These spaces are designed closer to labs and research areas to initiate group discussions and brainstorming sessions.

The walls can be used to scribble idea while giving privacy if need be.

• The chosen site for documentation are dharmshalas and matts around the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubneswar, Odisha.
