Building Making
Zahra Bagasrawala | Semester 6 | 2022-23
The course aimed to help us resolve detailed development of building design through technical resolution of structural systems, material performance and experience, threshold-enclosure details and process of construction. It further allowed us to bridge the gap between the design from concept to actualization and generate a construction documentation set along with specifications, quantities, estimation and putting together different materials and their assemblies in a manner that is conceptually coherent with the overall idea of the building. The studio attempts to rethink local programmes that have emerged from public activities that will critically craft the space and the builtform.
It also helped explore many ways of reading these urban spaces beyond the lenses of crisis and collapse that allows for a newer form to cater to the needs of smaller neighbourhoods formed through varied societal conditions of caste, gender etc. These denser pockets of the city open up many possibilities of patterns of inhabitation and its form that tends to everyday needs and is not a repetitive block designed through standardised logics. It pushes us to question, what are the new standards that would cater to these neighbourhoods? Can standardised logics be applied while building for such nuanced communities?
SITE ANALYSIS
The temporary stage tied outside the classrooms for functions is used by the children as a plaything. They jump on it, run underneath it and many more things. It is made using : wooden planks, steel columns, bamboo, cloth. That side of the ground is otherwise less occupied due to the bikes being parked there and absence of a plinth but the stage makes it an active space for children making it multifunctional for different user groups.
Different areas are occupied by boys and girls at different times of the day. Children use the shaded part of the ground more to play. The plinth allows the children to sit and relax, stand and chit chat or watch the activities on the ground making it a playful corridor. The area near the principal's office and boys washroom is mainly used by boys to play whereas the girls are concentrated on plinths, opposite classrooms and under trees. The staff and visitors too sit on plinth or pockets created to watch the children play.
Multifunctional spaces like stairs as seating, stage as plaything
Plinth as an emotional and physical extension of a classroom

COVER SHEET - Drawing abbreviations, symbols and notes
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING - The project is a load bearing structure with a built area of 1200 sq. m.
DOOR SCHEULE - The types and sizes of doors used for the project are given below
WINDOW SCHEDULE - The types and sizes of windows used for the project are given below
SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - The site is close to a dumpyard and cremation ground, lined by a public toilet on the east and housing on the west and north.
SETTING OUT PLAN - lining out the building design onto the land, using 6 checkpoints from the existing builtform.
FOUNDATION PLAN - The soil is marshy hence raft foundation is used that is 3m deep.
