This course was held under guidance of MalakSingh Gill , Malaksingh Gill is a Mumbai based architect practicing architecture inspired by local, alternative building materials, construction techniques and crafts since 1999.
Having worked with and being inspired by Laurie Baker; a pioneer of environment-friendly architecture, Malaksingh is now working on propagating Baker's vision all across India.
For the first two weeks, it was all about studying vernacular and green architecture and the people who are practicing it. Understanding the responsibility and the power an architect holds was something that really blew my mind. I studied the works of different architects who practiced green architecture in India including Malaksingh Gill.
So my wtudied works of malaksingh gill was AVATAR.
Located in Malad , Mumbai, its total area is 2000sq.ft. And its called MUMBAI'S 1ST ECO-FRIENDLY BUNGALOW, Inspired by 'LAURIE-BAKER'
Each and every brick was according to vaastu principal.
After a week we have our site visit one of Malak's ongoing project in Kamshet which was halfway completed and studied how it was made- the design and the construction. So by visiting the site we were trying to understand the structure of the site, and by drawing the plan and the section of the site.
After the visit we were try to make a ARCH from the refers of our site visit. We made a structure that had an arch and stairs with bricks, lime mortar, and mud mortar and it had a cob wall too. From learning the proportions for different mortars to how the forces will work in the structure, we had to calculate everything including the moist, and rainy climate, and finish the arch.The design was significantly based on load distribution and balancing the forces.
As we were making the framework in wood, we had to figure out the arrangement of the same.
And finally the framework was done and the actual work was been started, the making of the ARCH.
Here is the full costing of the ARCH
