SUMMER SUN ANALYSIS
WINTER SUN ANALYSIS
• Mumbai has been known for its spectacular feats in the field of art and rich heritage of designs that influenced the physical structure of the city, socio-culture
and the economic impact but lacks in connecting it with the global audience. This highlights the need for a platform that can exhibit and aspire designers and
learn their trade where local talent can work alongside international design, art and fashion houses serving the entire country.
• Mumbai being a significant metro Politian city, Navi Mumbai is a developing place where they incorporate organized development and can bring in more
population with efficient working space and a platform for the upcoming designers in our country.
• The advantage of this site is the much needed privacy from the busy urban Jungle.

3. FACADE TREATMENT FOR THE STUDIOS
• Climate sensitivity has been an important parameter in the process, which followed, analysis of solar radiation and air movement to develop a
second skin on the façade that allows for thermal
insulation and light permeability at all time.
• A brick jali, circumscribing the building adds a unique character and texture to its façade. The rotation angles of each brick were stimulated to
minimize solar radiations and direct heat gain on the façade. The brick skin also accommodates balconies which acts as a buffer zone between
indoor and outdoor spaces designed to remain at mean temperatures between the inside and outside throughout the year.
• The jali also created a unique character of light and shadow that renders a separate and a truly different imagery for each of the rooms used by the
designers . All local materials used for this project and were procured within the radius of 500 km from the site
Regular stretcher bond jali Staggered to improve daylight Staggered and stacked to further
improve daylight
• Only thermal insulation
• Less daylight
• thermal insulation
• adequate daylight
• thermal insulation
• More daylight
INTRODUCING BRICK JALI
• Breaking down the Habits of designers and inculcating it in the design will give the
best functional output for designers .
• There is a brainstorming area with display boards and wall to stick post-its, people
can sit, discuss and sketch, then a prototyping space with Worksop equipment's and
rendering station for 3d modelling and rendering ,a conference and presentation
space for display and pitch meetings
• To create socially active and environmentally sustainable spaces.
• The project houses Design studios with recreational courts ,Exhibit area, workshops,
restaurants.
• Also injecting art into architecture will make the designers more visually and
psychologically well connected with their workspace.
• This can be achieved by inspiring designers for creating installations and also using
creative facades which will house artwork of various designers .
Design approach
EVERYTHING WE SEE AROUND FROM THE BIGGEST TO TINIEST
LITTLE THINGS THAT OUR EYES CAN CAPTURE CAN BE BROKEN
DOWN INTO MILLIONS OF PIXELS ARRANGED IN ROWS AND
COLUMNS . MY ATTEMPT IS TO FOCUS ON THE MUCH IGNORED
ELEMENT - THE PIXEL WHILE CONCEPTUALIZING THE DESIGN
• The smallest addressable element

• It gives designers an opportunity to come out and savour the outdoors. green Terraces & activities are layered
at multiple levels to boost intercommunication amongst the designers and enough to sustain long conversations
amongst the designers .
• The central atrium allows natural light to penetrate deeper in the building and also acts as a solar chimney that
takes away the stale and hot air within the building through stack effect. The building is also cost effective, built
at a rate of Rs. 1400/sq.ft without compromising on construction quality.
• The key factor in the design process was to enhance interaction, within the indoor spaces that percolates
outward and interacts with the landscape around it. A shaded entrance (summer court) and an open terrace
(winter court) on south and north facades respectively, to encourage activities at all times diurnally and
seasonally. The green terraces acts as a transition space between the harsh outdoor and cooler indoors
.
• It also consists of a cafeteria which acts as a magnet that encourages and promotes social activity.
• The green terrace enables one to enjoy the weather during summer evening and winter afternoons. The terrace
overlooks the site and establishes a visual dialogue with the overall context of the campus greens and other
buildings.
