DESIGN STATEMENT FOR CAFETERIA
The café is conceptualized in response to a climate with extremities. Dynamically sculpted bamboo roof converging into the central open to sky courtyards, create energetic spaces which enliven the interiors. The idea was to provide an interactive space for the students which could be used for common gatherings when required. The internal courtyard space translates oneness of the café into multiple interaction corners.
Modular and symmetrically planned, the café entirely makes use of locally available rammed earth wood and bamboo thus creating soothing and cool interiors. Oriented to create Openness and visual connectivity through provision of large openings in north south direction and transitory ailes or verandahs between the inside and the outside while considerably reducing the heat gain to the internal spaces.
The café is planned with an Inward looking planning principle with diffusely lit courtyards allowing ventilation creating a cooler environment against the extreme heat. Internal spaces have a unique identity with option of converting semi-enclosed spaces into open spaces through uses of large louvered windows yet maintaining the oneness of the café considering locality. Along with the Courtyards and verandahs, roofing at different levels forming vents for passive cooling ensures cross ventilation within the café.
Built sustainably with natural light and ventilation being facilitated throughout the café , The building is dynamic and sculptural in appearance yet sensitive to its climate and adjoining surroundings.
