The course aimed to help us resolve detailed development of building design through technical resolution of structural systems, material performance and experience, threshold-enclosure details and process of construction. It further allowed us to bridge the gap between the design from concept to actualization and generate a construction documentation set along with specifications, quantities, estimation and putting together different materials and their assemblies in a manner that is conceptually coherent with the overall idea of the building. The studio attempts to rethink local programmes that have emerged from public activities that will critically craft the space and the builtform.
It also helped explore many ways of reading these urban spaces beyond the lenses of crisis and collapse that allows for a newer form to cater to the needs of smaller neighbourhoods formed through varied societal conditions of caste, gender etc. These denser pockets of the city open up many possibilities of patterns of inhabitation and its form that tends to everyday needs and is not a repetitive block designed through standardised logics. It pushes us to question, what are the new standards that would cater to these neighbourhoods? Can standardised logics be applied while building for such nuanced communities?
EXISTING SITE PLAN:
OBSERVATION :
The school has ample open space. The configuration of the built-form along the compound wall has created many subspaces and niches. These small spaces have a compact dimension for a person to move comfortably or for any sort of activity to happen. Hence over the years, these spaces have just been used to dump the used things and to store the parts temporary stages setup used for events. All of this made the space inaccessible and dead. The lack of storage space in the school has resulted in the invasion of some lively spaces, which have been claimed as a space used for dumping garbage.
