The Corbusian Dream / Forum Advaita

STORY BOARD

The idea was to imagine a space showing scattered images of elements that Corbusier could think of while dreaming the making of chandigarh . The unrealism of a dream has thus been attempted to be created . In this office we imagined a phase in Corbusiers life when he would be imagining the making of chandigarh

The Corbusian Dream / Forum Advaita

The dreams are often scattered images of elements that one is trying to put together, unfulfilled compositions etc . Here we borrowed the element of Pilotis with voids having soft edges. This element was used and multiplied into many planes satisfying meaning into the context , but eventually creating a dream like situation where the planes are all over the space

DOI office 2

These elements form the wall compositions, partitions, and the lighting design element. The partitions are created untouched from the ceiling to retain the emphasis of scattered elements of a dream. The arrival plane on the wall becomes one of the focal elements with dark grey wall color that merges with the ceiling

Partition Walls

The opposite wall has a wall panelling that is partially inside and partially outside the glass cabin , creating a tention in the mind as if moving and nor arrived , sustaining the conflicts of a dream . Another plane partially covers the pantry and half of the middle cabin again fllows the similar conceptual approach .

A small vertical partition with a void stands perpendicular to the wall that helps create a notional foyer for waiting area

Reception Area

The lighting design element are 3 horizontal planes , inspired from the 3 vertical planes of the high court building but positioned horizontally .
