Atrium of Connections

The project integrates with nature and community learning, which aligns with the Shreyas Foundation morals.
"Atrium of Connections" means connecting students and people with nature through verandahs and courtyards. Courtyard creates a spatial experience of working with nature and also helps in natural ventilation and lighting. Trees are also used in creating informal gathering spaces.
Materials used for the building are brick and timber. The buildings that are detailed out are the workshop and residence.

Idea of this exercise was to remember our past life in precision and capture our spatial experience.

The exercise was to identify the structures with isn’t constructed using the reinforced concrete and study their span i.e. which materials is suitable for what span, the stacking abilities, Identifying the method of construction and the building system, how the services were implemented at that time, what all decaying is happened due to change in weather and ultimately leading to the cross section of all building studied.
