EVERY INVENTION IS AT FIRST A DISCOVERY. ANYTHING NEW HAS

ALWAYS EXISTED, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN. WHEN THE MIND IS
INSPIRED BY THE RIGHT SOURCE, FRESH IDEAS ARE BORN. MAN
BUILDS WHAT NATURE SUGGESTS BUT DOES NOT PROVIDE.

CONCEPT
CHARACTER SKETCH
AT NAVLEEKA, WE OFTEN BEGIN WITH THE SECTION BECAUSE IT DEPICTS HOW THE BUILDING
RELATES TO THE LANDSCAPE, THE EARTH AND THE SKY. THE BUILDING’S SILHOUETTE IS AS
IMPORTANT AS IT’S ENVELOPE. WHILE THE PLAN DEFINES VISUAL AND FUNCTIONAL
RELATIONSHIPS ON THE HORIZONTAL PLANE, THE SECTION EMBODIES VERTICAL MOVEMENTS,
PROVIDES CUES FOR CHANGES OF LEVEL WHERE DESIRED OR ESSENTIAL, AND ENGAGES THE
TOPOGRAPHY IN A DIALOGUE WITH BUILT FORM. THE SPORTS CLUB DESIGN, BEING A RETREAT
AND RECLUSE FROM THE URBAN CORE, AT ONCE RECOGNIZES THIS NOTION AND DEMANDS IT’S
EMPLOYMENT AS A CONCEPTUAL THEME ON THIS OTHERWISE GENTLY SLOPING SUBURBAN SITE.

12
CONCEPT – FORMAL STRUCTURE OF COURTYARDS
THOUGH THE SCALES OF THE TWO PROJECTS DIFFER

CONSIDERABLY, MOVEMENT IN THE CLUSTER OF
COURTYARDS THAT HELP ORGANIZE THE SPATIAL
AND FORMAL STRUCTURE OF THE WHOLE, IS
ATTEMPTED TO BE KEPT QUITE SIMILAR. THERE IS
ONLY ONE MAIN AXIS AND A LOT OF SUBORDINATE
ONES. THE SHIFT IN AXES HELPS REORDER
MOVEMENT THROUGH THE COURTYARDS FLANKED
BY SEMI-ENCLOSED CIRCULATION SPACES.

EXPLORING FORMAL AND SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS AT
DIFFERENT SCALES
PROPOSED PROJECT – COURTYARD
“THE PLAN IS A KIT OF PARTS”
LOUIS I. KAHN
THE ADVANTAGE OF COURTYARD

PLANNING IS THAT IT PROVIDES
COMPLETE FREEDOM IN MANIPULATING
INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS THAT ENCLOSE IT ,
GIVING EACH ONE A SPECIAL PLACE AND
CHARACTER WITHIN THE WHOLE. THE
“KIT OF PARTS” BECOMES LEGIBLE WITHIN
THE ARTICULATED CONFINES OF THE
ENCLOSURE. WHAT IS WITHIN ALSO
BECOMES WITHOUT. EACH PAUSE OFFERS
A NEW HORIZON, AND A DEFINITE SENSE OF
PLACE. COURTYARD AT IMPERIAL COMPLEX – FATEHPUR SIKRI

PROPOSED PROJECT
“MAN, AFTER ALL, BREATHES BOTH IN AND

OUT. SHOULDN’T ARCHITECTURE DO THE
SAME?”
ALDO VAN EYCK
IMPERIAL COMPLEX AT FATEHPUR SIKRI
SHADED PORTICOES ARE OFTEN THE

NORM IN HOT DRY CLIMATES, BUT AS
LINKAGES BETWEEN BUILDINGS THEY
ALSO PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK OF
VISTAS TO HELP ORIENT ONESELF
WITHIN THE ENSEMBLE. AT EACH
TURN, A PAUSE HELPS. AT EACH PAUSE
IS A NEW VISTA. EACH THRESHOLD
BECOMES A PLACE BY ITSELF,
OFFERING A CHANGE IN LEVEL TO
STOP OR PONDER, OR A NOOK TO
SIMPLY SEEK RECLUSE.

PROPOSED PROJECT - LOUIS KAHN –IIM
HALLWAY AHMEDABAD
LOUIS KAHN –IIM

EVERY ARCHITECT THAT HAS WORKED IN
AHMEDABAD
AHMEDABAD KNOWS HOW STRONG THE SUN IS
OVER HERE. THE HOT DRY CLIMATE AND HIGH
DIURNAL TEMPERATURE RANGE DEMAND THE
USE OF SHADED PORTICOES THAT CAN ALSO BE
SUN FILLED SPACES IN THE WINTER. THE
ARCHITECTURAL ADVANTAGE OF SUCH SEMI-
OPEN SPACES IS THAT THEY HELP ORIENT THE
USERS INSTEAD OF DISORIENTING THEM, AS IS
COMMONLY EXPERIENCED WITHIN DOUBLE-
LOADED CORRIDORS THAT ARE ARTIFICIALLY
LIT.
