site plan
sections elevations
site view
the brief was to design a weekend resdience for a family. the residence
would be often used for parties and celebrations .
challenge was that the trees at the site has to remain the same
deconstructivisim with angled
spaces in order to align with the trees
and give the user feel of a wide space.
each space was fragmented
easy access for the guests anf the
family to the recreational area
accompanied with swimming poolaccompanied with swimming pool

8. inspired and analysis of the beauty of nature , resulted on the
question of a design which has angles and curves as its most significant
part. curves inspired from the fluidity of water and angles inspired from
the roughness of landforms
the general idea was to keep the students activity towards the left
and the public access to the right
the dedicated exhibition area led to the outdoor exhibition which was
placed at the landscaped seating
it led to the canteen again having outdoor seating which makes the
user to indulge in the beauty of the structure
the ground floor had central exhibitional area which was used to exhibit
important exhibits. and a dedicated exhibitional area towards the right .
beyond the central exhibition area was the huge auditorium
the left wing had the classrooms for the art students accompanied
by a library
