TA: Sakshi ShahThe Concept of Space Planning in Genre of Residences: The Senses and the Symbols of a Design
Space planning is a highly integrated aspect of designing in architecture
and interior design. It is in fact one of the formative elements that forms
the user experience on a very basic and subconscious level.
The studio will explore the understanding, sensitivity and depth it takes
to plan spaces in the genre of residences.
The students would interact with a live and ongoing site and the related
clients. After acquiring all their requirements, they would focus on
creating design concepts and then the space planning for the same in the
most efficient and effective manner.
In order to enhance the level of engagement and difficulty, participants
would be assigned a term pertaining to the concept of "senses". The
term in question represents the metaphor that necessitates translation
within the given activity.
Studio Unit
The studio focuses on space planning with an approach of understanding an artist/parasite plant and representing their ideologies as a concept to the practicality and functionality of space.
Each project builds upon the principles of anthropometry and space planning, incorporating specific artists/parasite plants as metaphors to move beyond mere functionality. This metaphorical approach allowed them to explore spatial narratives rooted in identity and purpose, bridging abstract concepts with tangible realities to create environments that reflect both the essence of the chosen metaphor and the needs of the inhabitant.
