Design Fundamentals of Spacemaking

This studio introduced students to basics of Space making. In the initial stages, students explored various characteristics of space making through systems of movement such as order, pathspacerelationships, axis, hierarchy, rhythm, scale, sequential progressions,degree of enclosure etc. The design program of a pavilion accommodates multiple programs such as primary health centre, book studio, crèche, cafe, dance studio, amphitheater etc. The design process guides one to evolve their individual responses to natural boundaries such as rivers, landscapes and existing built structures such as Planetarium, Museum, Band Stand, Toy Train, Amphitheatre etc. located within KamatiBaug. The exercise further attempts to weave together individual pavilions within a spatial narrative through visual and physical linkages with the context. The Design Fundamentals of Space making exercise was inspired and further improvised by the Space vocabulary exercises conducted earlier by Prof. Gurdev Singh along with the studio tutors.
