Travelers Home

The focus of this unit is to design a shelter for a group of travel enthusiasts, embedded into the urban treasure house of memory and sensation. One will rethink the idea of ‘shelter’ to diversify interior experiences of daily activities performed. The design must provide both pragmatic and importantly a sensorial experience distilling the characteristics of the site for an appropriate spatial narrative and user group. Contextual elements and need of user, inform the configuration of spaces explored through sketch models. As part of pedagogic method, a tool box shall be derived with relevant materials and systems. The studio enables to conceptualize and evolve grammar of interior space manifested through nature of materials while integrating order of activities. The studio will equip students to vividly communicate central idea of the proposal through relevant presentation techniques that will add profound inspiration to traveler’s explorations during their stay.
