staggered balcony design

commercial complex, jaipurg r u e n t r a n s f e r refers to the

moment when we enter a environment that are designed to disorient. Factors such as the lighting, sounds, temperature and the spatial arrangements of stores and displays interact, leading the customer to lose control of their critical decision making processes. Our eyes glaze over, our jaws slacken, we forget what we came for and become impulse buyers. So if you go into a mall to buy a mop and walk out with a toaster, a block of cheese and a badminton set, then the Gruen Transfer has probably played a role. Or maybe you just really like cheese.

wind and sun analysis

assuming a simple string theory that, buildings made without eco friendly norms cast greater pressures on their energy resources and environment. the need was to losen these pressure points through techniques of sustainability ,low cost construction and vernacular architecture.

degree of penetration

blending real concepts of eco friendliness, low cost in rural context and sustainability through means of construction. aiming at making the student realize that modern techniques can be achieved by vernacular methodology of construction. the idea of creating hexagonal structures is derived from the traditional dwellings and narrow street concept of punjab. also the easy permeability through the site and sciography management were one of the key principles of design.
