Study of The Structure

The Spaces are simple, minimal and functional, showing that design need not be complex to be meaningful. Open courtyards, natural ventilation, and closeness to river states living in balance with the environment. Construction with locally available resources favors sustainability and cultural identity. Common spaces encourage interaction, equality, and collective living. Design elements like shaded verandas , airflow and louvers adapt naturally to the hot climate.  The ashram proves that buildings can express ideals—here, simplicity, self-reliance, and truth. The key feature of the structure is the individual units are symmetrical but its placement is asymmetrical

Process Documentation

• It is a exact 1:50 sectional model of the unit. We can clearly see a 3D adaptation which gives a clear view of the louvers , the gutter and the overall structure. A key element in the structure is its simplicity as its not a complex combination of beams and columns but a simple and easy to understand structure with great historical importance .

• This is my first iteration that made with taking some elemets and charecteristics from the orignal unit . i have made it symmetrical on all side with a area big enough to fit 2-3 people . i have imagined it as a reading space
