The Crowd in the Cloud
Our project responds to the context which is planned to be build by the time
the project is completed, and to the dynamically twisted site. Our attempt is
to increase density and pedestrian traffic. We strongly believe that high-rise
typology is an oxymoron of sustainable development in its base and is in
contradiction with promoter’s goal for a green complex. From the program we
identify five major functions: Research
Institute and Knowledge Centre, Offices and Incubation Centre, Hotel,
Residential, and Retail-Food-Beverage. We clearly differentiate four of them in four wings grouped around two
inner courts in two separate buildings (Research
Institute and Offices in one building and Hotel and Residential in the other). At the area of conjunction of the two buildings we
design outdoor distributing hub/plaza/promenade which connects to all functions
and the underground parking garage. It contains the fifth function of shopping
and dining and combines the similar function of Research Institute food court
with the F+B and retail outlets into one shopping center like hub. Because of
the specificity of Noida climate the plaza is not enclosed, just covered by the
buildings above. The plaza is open to serve not only the new
building’s population but also people from the IT Park and from outside. With
the creation of the outdoor plaza we break the 220m long “barrier” of the site for better
circulation.
The inner court scheme is inspired by the Indian tradition.
One of the courts is developed around a water pool and serves both Hotel and Apartments.
The Hotel and Apartments also share Banquet Facility/Service Area and a common
drop off area which is an additional access point. The other court is
surrounded by the thematically grouped Auditorium,
Lecture Hall, Gallery, and Library and could be easily transformed into Open Air Theatre. Functions like Auditorium, Lecture
Hall, Gallery, Library, Bank, and Lobbies are located at the ground level and are directly accessible to the
public and building occupants. Each one of the four wings with restricted
access has an individual entry accessible through the inner court and vertical
core in the corner. Both buildings connect at fifth shopping level and sixth
level where the taller building leans above the lower building and covers a
natural shaded space of a food and beverage terrace on top of the
lower building.
The pattern
on the sustainable double / secondary skin of the facades is inspired by traditional carved stone lattice screens of
Hoysala Temple in Belur.
We also propose lightweight tent structures against sun and rain to connect
the new building with the office buildings from the complex. They could be executed in next stages.
For
landscaping, instead of a regular grass lawn we propose areas with agricultural
crops typical for the fields around Noida –
Indian tea, rice, corn, sugar cane.
