National Award for Excellence in Architectural Thesis 2020-21

We take immense joy in informing you that Abishek Raj, Alumni of Csoa (batch 2020) makes it to the top 3 winners of the National Awards for Excellence in Architectural Thesis for the year 2020-21 conducted by the Council of Architecture.

Thesis Topic: Reconception of railway station – Madurai Guide: Ar.Vijaykumar Sengottuvelan

The intent behind the Thesis was to understand the railway station as an active public space rather than viewing it as a mere functional typology ,used for boarding and de-boarding .Hence the thesis attempts to re-think the idea of a stereotypical railway station as a public nodal point in the city while still retaining the essence of the existing heritage value and adding more visual experience to the travellers.

The attached video is a screengrab from the official announcement by Ar.Habeeb Khan, President of COA India.

We also take pleasure in informing you that Deepthi JBM another alumnus of CSOA from the same batch, has been nominated amongst the top 10 candidates in the Zonal level (Zone 5) at the National Awards for Excellence in Architectural Thesis for the year 2020-21.

Thesis topic: Labour Camp for Transient Construction Labours Guide: Ar.Balaji Rajasekaran

Architecture, which is seen everywhere and admired by everyone for its design, for its spaces, for the feel it creates within when being in the space, etc. But most of them are structurally rigid. There’s always a question if the buildings can move or can be moved from one place to another. There are various user groups who can be benefitted from this idea of mobile buildings. One such user group is migrant laborers. This research is an attempt to study the life of migrant workers, especially construction workers as they are in a very vulnerable state while taking their houses or the place they stay into account. Hence this project is aimed to create a better place to stay for the construction laborers. In addition to that, it has also attempted to incorporate the techniques in which the structure can be dismantled so that it can be taken to the next site once the work is completed in the previous site.

Heartfelt congratulations to both the students and the CARE fraternity

Terracotta – meaning baked earth in Italian – technically refers to any object made from fired clay. But most commonly, the term is used to describe pottery made from a porous type of earthenware clay that is high in iron oxides, giving it a rusty reddish brown colour.

Ar. Hiren Patel, Ahmedabad

In line with this evolving trend, landscape architects and designers also need to develop styles that conform to the overall appearance and design scheme. When styling outdoor space with a modern feel, you ought to stick to a neutral color theme.

Three finalists announced for moscow’s ukraina hotel entryway competition, turkey architecture news - mar 12, 2014 - 21:20   3820 views.

The three finalists for Moscow’s Ukraina Hotel entryway competition were announced: TPO Lesosplav in cooperation with Malishev Wilson Engineers (UK), ABD Architects (Russia) in cooperation with Werner Sobek Moskwa (Russia), and Studio 44 (Russia).

The competition was commissioned to conceive an architectural concept for the design of the historic Ukraina Hotel main entrance. Built in the 1950’s, the Ukraina Hotel is one the seven Soviet skyscrapers, also known as the “sisters.” In 2005, Ukraina Hotel was listed as a building of cultural and historical heritage.

Because of the complexity of the task, to respect Moscow’s Stalinist architectural heritage while providing an entryway that could serve as a business card for the hotel itself, an open international competition was initiated on February 15, 2013 by Sergey Kuznetsov, Chief Architect of Moscow.

According to Sergey Kuznetsov, “many members of the jury noted that the choice was difficult to make. There was a wide variety of quality projects, but not all of the participants managed to address all the tasks set in the competition brief.” “I think the finalists fully reflected the goal initially proposed by the competition.”

TPO Lesosplav in cooperation with Malishev Wilson Engineers proposed a ribbon-like awning:

“ The proposed concept for the new entryway for the hotel solves several of the main tasks: it is independent in constructive and stylistic terms and yet it does not dissonant in its composition alongside the existing architectural monument. The installation not only fulfills its practical function as a protective canopy, but at the same time it is a piece of modern design in its own right which works in contrast with the historical building. It creates a dialogue between the old and the new and on a variety of levels; including in terms of rhythm, scale and material .”

ABD Architects in cooperation with Werner Sobek Moskwa proposed a constantly illuminated rectangular “blade” over the entrance:

“ The main task of an architectural proposal for an entry canopy was the creation of an structure which would not make a negative impact on the façade and also wouldn’t violate the compositional structure of the building. In our view, the architecture of the new structure should be neutral, visually light and should not engage in a dialogue with the building. The awning over the entrance, designed in the form of rectangular plate, or ‘blade’, covers the entrance area and access ramps. It is free of visible support which visually lightens the structure, making it weightless. As it is planned that the canopy be equipped with a constantly illuminated inner surface, it will be perceived as a large rectangular, though extremely thin lamp, hovering in the air.”

Studio 44 proposed an awning inspired by a traditional symbol of Russian hospitality, the “rushnik”:

“The Ukraina Hotel entryway awning is a 112 long metal sheet, or ‘rushnik’, hanging between two massive propylaea in a slight downward curve (a „rushnik„ is an embroidered towel traditionally used to offer bread and salt to guests welcomed to one’s home in Russia and other Eastern European countries). The propylaea are made from square blocks of cast iron (6 m x 6m).“ “A tectonic structure and imagery strikingly different from the order of the original building helps the avant-portico avoid being either in confrontation with or contraposition to the hotel building. It is neither in contrast to or flirtation with the original building; but rather it is neutral, in „exterritoriality„ and autonomy.“

The international jury included: Sergey Kuzentsov  — Chief Architect of Moscow, First Deputy Chairman of the Moscow Committee for Architecture and Urban Development; Anna Bronovitskaya  — Historian of architecture, Associate Professor at the Moscow Institute of Architecture; Alexander Kibovsky  — Minister of Moscow government, Head of the Department of Cultural Heritage of Moscow; Arild Hovland  — Senior VP for business development at Rezidor in Russia and CIS; Narine Tutcheva  — Architect, Head of Rozhdestvenka Architectural Bureau; Knut Goppert  — Structural Engineer, Managing Director at Schlaich Bergermann und Partner.

The jury appreciated the projects of the finalists for creating a new symbol for the hotel, while respecting Moscow’s architectural heritage. Chosen out of 10 competing proposals, now one of the three finalists projects will be implemented by the client.

The competition was commissioned by Ukraina Hotel with consultancy provided by KB Strelka. It was organized with the support of Committee for Architecture and Urban Planning, as well as the Department of Cultural Heritage of Moscow and the Union of Moscow Architects.
