THE LOOM ATRIUM
The courtyard features pools with small islands designed primarily as resting and seating areas. These islands also support the adjacent enclosed spaces as needed. To address water requirements, we have implemented a rainwater harvesting system that collects, purifies, and supplies the pools. This system promotes sustainability and resource efficiency. The courtyard connects all parts of the facility. Visitors primarily utilize the single-story block, while producers prefer the two-story block. The building is constructed of reinforced concrete, featuring a roof that slopes in one direction and is made of wood. Wooden pergolas provide shade over the courtyard, enhancing its ambiance. The entrance showcases a concrete structure that serves as an inviting threshold for visitors. The rear section of the production block includes an open-air dyeing area equipped with the necessary tools and materials. A hardscaped area at the back accommodates product deliveries and truck parking, while visitor parking is conveniently located on the opposite side. During the design process, we conducted an in-depth study of various weaving center projects and analyzed the lifecycle of silk in India—from production and transportation to storage and weaving. We also examined the specifications and dimensions of looms. To visualize this process, we created diagrams that outline the stages of silk production. From the outset, our goal was to design a self-sufficient structure that operates efficiently within its boundaries. Local materials from India to honor the cultural and environmental context. A primary goal was to showcase the weaving process to visitors, highlighting the artisans' craftsmanship. To achieve this, we designed the panels to be operable, allowing visitors to observe the artisans at work, with their consent. This interaction bridges the gap between the creators and the audience, fostering understanding and appreciation. To further emphasize the connection between artisans and visitors, we incorporated fabrics produced in the facility into the front façade display. This design choice ensures that visitors immediately witness the results of the craftsmanship upon entering, setting the stage for their experience inside.

Groundbreaking Projects from Around the World are Recognized for their Innovative Design and Impact
Great project. This is a beautiful and compact building, adapted to the flat topography, with high-quality interior spaces, and an amazing open terrace with groups of classrooms working as little houses exposed to the climate. The idea is very clear: "A Fresh Air School". The program distribution is very smart, locating the collective areas on the ground floor, and the classroom spaces as part of a garden terrace with trees, greenhouses, and solar panels.
