redesign of the architecture department, iit roorkee





Integrated studio



A group of 6 members was formed by the Dept. which consisted of students from UG, M.Arch and PhD, integrating the ideas from different levels, to redesign the Department building and its Lawn.



the lawn



The lawn beside the architecture department is not being used for any purpose. A strategic design redefined the department thus addressing this issue.



more courses



A projection was made keeping in mind the future courses to be proposed for various streams within the department. Thus a design was proposed to expand the department without much destruction



interaction zones



The design thus developed eliminated dead zones and provided more spaces for interaction.
