A SCIENCE OBSERVATORY IN THAR DESERT

The project was to devlop a shelter for two people (male and female) in the Thar desert, Jaisalmer who are going to live there for three months so the shelter should contain 3 spaces which are outdoor, indoor and semi - outdoor space to make them comfortable in the region. There should be no use of any mechanical ventialation so the shelter should be good enough to get natural ventilation.

This image shows the Design Brief, the location of the site and the terrain of the site.

This is the sheet for climate study, upper left cornere image shows the temperature range in Jaisalmer across the year, there is psychometric chart in the upper right corner, then, SunPath is there in the left bottom corner which is made with the understanding of summer months and winter months and the tables in the right bottom corner shows the analysis done for the city of Jaisalmer.

This sheet shows the building drawings for the proposed case.

This sheet shows the sections, site planning strategy and rendered 3d image of the building with site context.

This sheet shows the physical 1:25 model images and the rendered 3d model images extracted from Rhino modeling software.

This sheet compares the incident radiation for the Base case design and Proposed case design with the help of chart and also showcases some illustrations for the proposed case design like Cross - Ventilation across the ground floor of the design and hot & cool areas during peak summer months for the ground floor of the design.

This sheet shows two different ways of constructing the form with the help of sandstone.

This sheet shows the building drawings for the base case design.
