Drama in ‘Space

Drama Institute in Vasai

Architecture Design Year level completed : 2019 Tutor : Prof. Nayana Raut| nayanavishalraut@vivaarch.org Work : Individual Area : 20,000 sq.meter approx. When we hear the word “Drama”, there are various intangible feelings that comes into picture : Rhythm, Dance, Movement, etc. All feelings linked to one simple word : motion. Thus, having this into consideration, it was planned to design in such a way that it would reflect the term ‘Drama’ in its profile and space. Unlike any institutes, This institute would involved having flexible classroom space both, horizontally as well as vertically, which would be able to cater the current requirement as well as would be able to sustain a growth in future. Hence the classrooms were designed and placed in such a way that the only dividing element between them would be a openable partition wall which would at times open up to a larger space for various activities.
