ओसरी

In this course, I explored how architecture can respond to environmental forces while making efficient use of resources. It helped me understand how different building systems come together to shape both the performance of a building and the experience of the space. Instead of seeing systems like water harvesting, solar energy, ventilation, lighting, and reuse as separate technical layers, I began to approach them as integral to the design itself. By working with these systems in combination, I investigated how their overlap can generate spatial character and add depth to the overall experience of architecture 

For this course, we were asked to design a community library along Old Kabristan Road, the exercise invited us to imagine the library as four intertwined conditions, a Library for Play, a Library for Knowledge, a Library for Work, and a Library for Care.

I reused debris from the construction sites and garages around the site as a building resource to design a library for Rest and Play. This portfolio presents the project and its development.
