The concept

THE COMPETITION The intent of the competition was to visualize

ideas, develop themes, concepts, theories

and evolve designs which you think respond

to the theme. The emphasis is on a clear

understanding of idea generation, rather

than the practical details.

THE THEME We are drawn towards spaces that provide

safety and shelter – natural enclosures –

places that are enclosed, protected rather

than those that are vast, open to sky, of

unlimited scale and are exposed. Enclosure

defines an area, creates a scale, and makes

an area intimate, limited and secure. It has a

separate identity in terms of experience it

generates.

Bring out new distinct ideas of enclosure.

Students's Design Competition 2011

FIRST PRIZE

D-25 | Breathing Life Into A Quarry

Aarti Nathan, Kaushik K Ramanuja and Aary Lobo

MANIPAL SCHOOL OF PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE, MANIPAL

The entry deserves a credit for the choice of site -developing a quarry. The

worth lies in the simplicity of design. It uses the natural elements like geology,

rocks and water is a very creative way. At the same time the environmental

concerns are not lost sight of. The design is not static, but loose ended with

many possibilities for future. It offers variety of spatial experiences of various

scales and is adaptable in many such contexts.
