Our vision is to create a sustainable, inclusive, and culturally vibrant community center that uplifts the lifestyle of the residents and celebrates their heritage.
Aligned with the tree axis and retaining existing pedestrian trails, the design respects the village's organic settlement while offering a new thoroughfare for communal activities. Key to our design is the idea of a large verandah facing the village which acts as a participatory edge, inviting community interaction and cultural celebrations. The modular grid and incrementally expandable structure ensure scalability, potentially serving as a prototype for neighboring villages and also ensuring it meets evolving needs.
The 'Innonative' approach blends innovation in placemaking with a deep respect for native traditions and materials. The center is envisioned as a multipurpose facility at the heart of the Village. The proposed structure integrates seamlessly with its context and climate, utilizing locally available Kadapa stone as the primary material for a durable, culturally resonant aesthetic. This material choice not only responds to the environment but also ensures economic feasibility by employing local labor. By empowering villagers to shape their environment and celebrate their identity, our proposal sets a precedent for other community projects in rural India.
Core activities and Supporting facilities are organized using a modular grid of 3x3m on either side of a Central Verandah. The lightweight metal roof covering the center offers an extended terrace for the villagers to expand their activities, while also providing the much needed climatic comfort. This terrace could be used as a semi-formal, educational, or social space as per the changing needs. The street and lower areas can be secured, while the terrace remains accessible for activities. Edges of the building are treated with a series of plinths, seating areas, kitchen gardens, and water tanks, creating community gathering points at strategic locations, and blurring the boundaries between the village and the site.
The Kadapa stone screen for the outer skin ensures cross-ventilation through its porous facade, even when the center is locked. The openings along the Verandah comprises of collapsible metal doors with tactile panels for interactive learning. The flooring is made of local Kadapa stone. The black of the Kadapa stone against the ochre color of the walls and the roof provides a vibrant visual background that symbolizes culture, and joy and also gives them a sense of identity. With the principle of "Form follows Funding," our design balances functionality with economic viability.
