Design Intent : A hub for students and proffesionals
Program Brief : A hub for students and proffesionals Today, one can access almost everything possible in one click anytime and anywhere, which will soon make the actual classroom lose its importance in a learner’s life or the experience of the working environment from our lives. This institution offer students or group of students a place to study, with access to a library that provides them with huge collection of reading materials , and a low cost rental space designated for a freelancer/practitioner to work/conduct meetings. A dedicated study environment can encourage and bring significant changes in a student’s academics. One can inspire another. It can provide an open opportunity to collaborate with people of different age groups. Such a co-working space can help a student interact with a working professional.
The main intent for designing is to first imagine the attributes and qualities of the interior elements in an abstract form, conceptualize it and explore it and later visualize the 2d abstraction into a space making element.
There are a lot of freshers with their new start-ups with no office of their own, hence working from home or in cafeterias. Hence, this institution provides a working space that not only has low rental cost but also provides an environment that increases work productivity and efficiency. It also helps them interact with other business professionals. With other people working around one, can help motivate him/her. It also offers meeting rooms
