WORKSHOPS/VOLUNTEERING

4. MATERIAL EXPLORATION - WAX
The aim of the project was to explore the qualities of‘wax’. The setting of the wax was observed by pour-
ing the wax over various materials – Plaster of Paris, Water, Enamel, Glue and Ice. The pouring of hot wax
over cold ice, resulted in formation of a varied texture and a play of solid and voids. These experiments
helped in coming up with ‘wax blocks’. The blocks thereby, helped in achieving modulated light when
kept against the source of light (or sun). This was because, the pure paraffin wax carries a translucency
in itself.
To improve upon the strength of the wax blocks and keeping the translucency intact, 20% Polyethene
(HDPDE) was added to it, which also increased the melting point. In order to achieve a surface, the blocks
were reinforced by means of threaded rods (6mm MS Rods).

> More the diameter, more will be the
surface area, more space for openings
(within the completely shaded area),
which will allow larger amount of day-
light in the room.
> Aspect ratio of 1:1.5 was considered
for the final design after analysing the
various aspect ratios using th shadows
for analysis mechanism.

DANCE AND DRAMA ACADEMY
LUCKNOW
The project aims at encouraging the existing art in the form of music and dance in the city of Nawabs,
which has been famous for the same.
CONCEPT
The design process started with the provision of
a centrally located informal space (O.A.T), Which
has all the functions radially along it. The informal
space has been provided to motivate the others,
the students to learn and perform by seeing the
others do the same.
The floors form a stepped profile to enhance the
viewing towards the O.A.T. Shaded Steps are pro-
vided throughout, so that they serve as a sitting
space for the people.

The project aims at providing shelter to the tourists who need to rest for a night or have a train to change
which is after a long gap, sp the people can avail the facility of rooms, restaurants, cyber cafe totake rest
and pass their time.
CONCEPT - Intermingling of green / open spaces
with the indoor spaces.
The terraces recede at every floor to give semi cov-
ered space thus protecting from the sun and also
channelizing the air towards the windows facing
the terrace.
Open spaces having habitable spaces on either
sides and are semi covered by the slabs of the
rooms.
The facade of the building faces towards the rail-
way station, to mark a connectivity to it. Also the
form will help in escaping the westerlies which are
the prevailing winds.
