GROUP WORK

A) SITE STUDY The site chosen for study was Mhatarpakhadi. Three important building sites, the goan club, the bakery and the gym and dispensary were chosen to be studied. One layer of building around them was documented and the typology of buildings were analysed. The group documented 6 buildings around bakery. I was involved in documenting a chawl near the bakery. The functions of the space were understood and implemented in the design process.

RE-INTERPRETATION OF BAKERY WITH CAFE_ MATHARPAKHADI

A) SITE STUDY Gaitore ki Chhatriyaa are the royal cenotaphs of the kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and their sons. These cenotaphs were documented by us and the history of Jaipur was studied. The cenotaphs are situated in a valley between the two forts of Nahargarh and Amer on the Jaipur Amer road. People staying near by were interviewed to know the history of the cenotaphs.

SITE DOCUMENTATION - GROUP WORK

ARCHIVE OF MEASURES ARCHIVE AS SCALES The archive will not only consist of objects used for measuring, but also engage people in these activities, where they can experience the ways with which measures happened. The building itself also measures the topography of the site. Archive becomes a place where importance of measurements can be ascertained in everyday life of people. It also provokes us to think about how exchange values of goods are ascertained and on what principles were they based on. Various types of spaces were designed that measured various important aspects such as Corridor of Ergonomics Space for Time Space for Weight Space for Height Space for Depth

Different buildings were studied that were programmatically similar or had a similar form as the design. The essence of buildings that were studied was extracted.

SITE ANALYSIS Site

Light Conditions:

Sun Path and Wind Direction

The studio spaces experience non-uniform light throughout the day, which makes it difficult to work in natural light. Also, library does not receive light due to Hence artificial lighting is required for the entire day, which loads the energy system and using more amount of electricity.

Contour Mapping

Light from the east side during mornings. Only 35-45% of the studio receives light, as the size of windows is also small. Also there trees on the east side that blocks the light from entering.

Light from the west side during evenings. Only 50-60% of the studio receives Light. The size of windows is comparatively larger, but not enough light is received.

Library Library receives light from the south, but due to the book cases, the light gets blocked and does not reach up to the reading tables.

Depression Area

The contours shows a depression near the site, which proves the existence of a pond on site in the past. Due to this, the ground water levels are very high.

Common gutter shared by the two buildings

Neighbourhood building sharing the gutter

The ground water level rises during monsoons and sometimes raises upto a level where it overflows from the lift block. Also the neighbouring building has its storm water drainage in the school site, becoming a reason to sometimes overflow the drain during monsoon.

Monsoon Winds The monsoon winds are from the south-west direction. The overhangs do not protect the building from the monsoon winds and thus the building faces the problem of water leakages.

DESIGN SCHOOL _ A LIVING ORGANISM

What is a design school? JOURNEY WITHOUT CONFUSIONS

SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE JOURNEY Analysing the existing Site Conditions

Light Conditions:

A journey. A journey that leads one to creations via the route of blunders and mishaps. This journey has various pauses, to come back, think and start again. Sometimes we get lost, but eventually find our own ways to get out of it. Every path on this journey has a different set of emotions to move with. The quality of space,light will define how one can move through these paths, and what kind of emotions are generated. The most important part of this journey is sharing. Sharing of experiences, ideas amongst all the people walking on these paths, in similar direction with similar aims becomes utmost important. One alone cannot pass through the hurdles and find solutions to all the difficulties. We need to walk along with all kind of people, over come each others problems and together find a solution. Sometimes the juniors have great ideas and seniors have great experiences. A common platform for everyone to come and talk about their views. Also, the people coming from outside, needs to be addressed and directed in your institution. We must not neglect their confusions who are a part of your journey, even though for a very short time. The quality of light many a times plays a role of directing our moods to a direction when in a particular space. A lit studio will develop an equal working efficiency amongst all the members, while varying lights in transitional spaces, make them the spaces to interact and have various different kinds of interactions, being formal discussions to private chats. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t food one thing that blends everyone together? A canteen for all kinds of interactions with various spaces for groups to and individuals to celebrate their creations and self analyse their own insufficiency respectively.

NORTH INTERNAL WALLS Remains open for the entire day.

The school is a transformative organism where one space can become the other as per the programs. It also serves space to sleep for homeless wherein exhibition and auditorium open up for them. Similar other transitions happen it the building thus using less areas for accommodating larger functions and thus being sustainable. The openings can be adjusted in a manner that allows light and wind to enter during specific times and as per the requirements of the user. The furniture is also placed on tracks so that it does not becomes a hurdle during transforming the spaces.
