SRIDEVI CHANGALI & ROSIE PAUL MASONS INK FOAID 2020

Project Name The vision the client had for this parcel of land nestled in the urban fabric of the city of Cochin was a built space that would facilitate collaboration and encourage people to come together. The Courtyard The aspect of the brief that was most complex was the fact that the space had to house three diverse functions –a management consultant’s office, an artist’s studio and an architectural Location practice. Apart from designing working spaces for each, there had to be a separate area for public events. Kerala A space where the management consultant would host conventions and seminars; the artist envisioned a space that could transform into an exhibition area to display her artwork and that of lesser known artists, the architectural practice needed a space to host workshops and awareness programmes on sustainable practices which is inherent in the building fabric. This is a project that aims to challenge the notions of mud as a primitive and perishable material. It is a contemporary take on the vernacular architecture of Kerala. It comes away from the unwritten rules of office or public spaces that stress on artificial light & ventilation, and boldly makes a statement through its openness and proximity to nature, hence the name- the Courtyard. 298

V.S.VIGNESWAR ARCHITECTURE PLUS VALUE FOAID 2020

Project Name Mass Housing is the need of the hour in the World’s fastest growing city, Bengaluru. Within an urban concrete-jungle, Radiance IRIS seeks to be a green refuge from the ever-growing Radiance IRIS pressures of development. We had to achieve this within the housing market pressures to make the project affordable. Location The Design focusses on creating a sustainable community which simultaneously achieves the Bangalore major challenge of high built-up area and low selling price. Clusters of row-houses interspersed with Pockets of Natural Vegetation, Social spaces and Shared facilities forms the project. Detailed studies and simulations were done to understand how to maximise natural light and ventilation inside each home. Existing trees were mapped and the buildings were planned around them to preserve the native vegetation. Effective Solar-Energy capture and Sensitive Water-management were incorporated from the Design Stage. The project is all set to receive GOLD Certification from the IGBC – Indian Green Building Council under IGBC Green Residential Societies. 304

Project Name ‘Ba ni Oshari’- Verandah in a Mother’s house is a C- shaped otta where the cultural program- ‘Dayra’ is held in the centre and is a part of a building. Bani Oshari Thereby we decided to create a C- shaped otta depicting a building creating the doors and Location windows that opened out to the otta. ‘Dayra’ is an interesting cultural event related to literature where the Oshari becomes the stage and they enjoyed the program sitting in front of it. Surat The clients left these 20 years back and now they wanted to relive those moments they enjoyed when they were young. We felt as if we were designing a theatre set in the entire process and believed that we added the most value in the various traditional elements like columns, brackets, jharokha, railings, doors and windows that we bounded together to form the entire space as one, which in itself became one of the most unique elements in the design. 311

Built on a tight budget, the design follows an overarching aesthetic of simple clean lines. This allows for the individuality of the materials to stand out and at the same time complement each other perfectly. The green foliage was kept intact and the building fabric was detailed in a way that would frame this foliage. Mud was the material chosen for the walls – this works beautifully not only in terms of creating a healthier building but the process of manufacture of the mud bricks involved the users of the building as well, thus giving a sense of belonging with the structure as well. 336
