The SPIRETEC CompetitionAn architectural design competition for a 62,750 sq.m. mixed
use area that is part of an IT office complex, spread across approx 85,000
sq.m. of land. The project is in Greater Noida; part of the Delhi National
Capital Region – India.
“FLOW OF LIFE”
Our proposal relies on two major landscape components that
generate the Master Plan.
We propose the introduction of the neighboring water element
in the form of a water channel at the “heart” of the site. Two esplanades
develop along each side of the water channel 7.20m above the ground. These two main
compositional elements offer with clarity a rich architectural space to a multitude
of public areas: terraces, decks, walkways, steps, open air theatre, semi-covered
spaces etc.
All spaces and both banks of the channel are unified by a structural
ribbon crossing through the land from side to side. This ribbon is transmuted
along its way to roof cover, shelter, cover for paths, bridge and building skin.
The textile spatial structure and form of the proposed
ribbon produces composite but flexible and dynamic spaces and embodies basic
principles of a sustainable and bio-climatic design while forming a building
envelope interactive with the sun and the wind.
