Project Description:
Jeishaan Lakhani and Nirvaan Shah collaborated on a Design project focused on Sustainable Architecture (Home). The project explores how eco-friendly materials and thoughtful architectural planning can contribute to energy efficiency and environmentally responsible living spaces.
Project Focus:
The students conducted research using multiple sources to understand sustainable construction materials and techniques. They studied environmental factors such as sunlight direction and wind flow to inform their design decisions. Based on these insights, they experimented with different layout ideas aimed at maximizing natural light, ventilation, and overall energy efficiency. The project also emphasizes the use of sustainable materials through models and replicas to demonstrate eco-friendly building practices.
Project Outcome:
The current stage of the project involves the development of a 3D physical floor plan that represents their sustainable home design. Through this project, the students have demonstrated skills in research, spatial planning, environmental awareness, and model-making, while applying design thinking to create a practical and sustainability-focused architectural prototype.
