 Prathma blood bank located in Ahmadabad as a site offers 4 volumes in which 3 from curved walls and one is the cuboidal volume enclosed by curved walls leaving void in center as well for light. This huge curved walls on south facade are looked as a volume similar to wells. Design of Wells influenced from the geometry and forms and volumes of site. Design is to create small Wells in 3 primary wells of the site. Design process:Borrowing from the principles which nature inherits such as thick thin , combination of materials, hierarchy, Branching, Forms , Structure resulted into a process of Derivation a form which are structurally stable in relation with the experience of space. This form finding resulted in iterations of details which changes the geometry of form and thus the experience. So process results in permutations and combinations of iterations of details to pick and choose the detail best fits with site and experience in it. Main aim of the project is :Derivation of form which takes place structurally in relation with experience of a space.Design approach is to create a form were module can propagate vertically and derive sub forms(Wells) inside a primary Form(Well) along with giving individual character to each form by twisting, rotating, offsetting, Scaling the module and thus the forms. Thus strong geometry of the site influence the form and design with Kit of Parts. Through this project : An attempt to learn and discover the relation of ratio of kit of parts to components to simplify the construction process and order of assembly and complexify the scale and proportions and experience of volumes achieved through simplified ratio of kit of parts and components. Learning the material optimization of kit of parts available to design a stable and ephemeral structure. The main aim is to understand how one standard system changes itself when one junction of detail in one component of system is changed and how these iterations of details helps create different spatial experiences with different function. Role of kit of parts and components. What from both guides the complexity of form, details and kit of parts? Increase in kit of parts increase complexity of components or vice versa?
