Building Making and Details

Ths studio intends to understand the process of resolving details of form, its development and refinement through technical and structural systems, the assemblage of materials and the experience it provides, threshold enclosure details and the phases of construction. This course aims at the stages of resolving the design from its conceptual form to its actualization, and generates a set of documentation along with specifications.

The studio attempted to work through the most localized form and material, involving site visits and interactions with contractors and other agencies, then developing construction documentation and a layer of specifications and estimation for the project. 

The settlement  has had several incremental infrastructural upgrades over the time which has resulted in the neighborhood being very dense. The whole cluster is a thick mass of private framework where the idea of public space was always forsaken.

As the observation focus on how the clusters inhabit the crevices, stairs, yards and street on the site and the details of how they are scattered throughout the site, the settlement having a heavy mass of residential buildings where the community spaces or the idea of public is almost non-existent, the gathering and resting activities are seeping into the yards or to the street. These practices are a form of escape from the crowded volumes through the porosity of exposed spaces. They are scattered throughout the site, gendered and segregated as per the details of limit, restriction and connectivity.
