Designing for the ‘NoWhere’ People

because the world is slowly reopening, easing lockdown measures, most are adapting to the ‘new normal’, as we now call it. The pandemic has imposed major changes to our work and lifestyles, altering our views and priorities. While we cannot foresee the longer term , we will definitely say that the modifications caused thanks to this pandemic are here to remain for extended .

This is a involve interventions to style liveable spaces that are adaptable, resilient, and innovative.

On a micro level, deliver a design that conforms to the thought of a sustainable shelter unit. The competition also pushes forth the thought to explore community spaces within clusters of shelter units on a macro level – schools, training units, social affair spaces, or the other program that seems to suit with the planning idea to form the lives of the residents significantly better.

Whether you select to figure on a bottom-up or a top-down approach for the workflow on the location , you’ll prefer to explore the planning process on the Autodesk BIM Platform – Revit and Autodesk tools like Formit, Insight, Dynamo, et al. within the development and representation of the planning proposal.

The Site

the location for the planning are often a maximum of three ha in area. the location can have already got a built mass thereon and therefore the intervention are often worked round the existing structures. Alternatively, a site that’s allotted for housing/development also can be chosen. The by-laws and NBC guidelines should be applied accordingly. The scope and scale of the proposal i.e. No. of Workers/Families, No. of Dwelling Units, Clusters, Common spaces got to be identified and defined.

Eligibility

hospitable all undergraduate and postgraduate students of Architecture and style across the country. (Anyone who may be a student of Architecture and style at the time of registration is additionally eligible to participate, including graduates of 2020.) The competition is hospitable engineering students, provided the opposite member of the team of two is an architecture/design student.

Team Composition

A maximum of two members per team is permissible.
