Hi! It has already been two weeks
since I wrote here. Today, I am going to talk about my thesis and the poster.
My thesis topic is sustainable Corporate Building. Sustainability is such a
vast topic and it can be categorized in to different topics like Biomimicry,
Energy efficient building, Passive solar architecture and the traditional
vernacular architecture. I was especially enticed by the vernacular
architecture. Vernacular architecture deals with climatic design as we can find
many examples of buildings from different climates that provides comfortable
living condition to its users. The buildings that are found in hot climates are
entirely different from that of cold climate. The use of locally available
materials also plays a key role in vernacular architecture. We can find the
houses on the tropical regions which has extensive use of bamboos and timbers.
There is provision of sufficient open spaces for comfort. Vernacular buildings
has very less biological footprint and it takes minimal energy and resources to
maintain it. For example: the traditional buildings of Nepal is made up of
brick, timber, mud and stones. Stones are used in foundation, brick for the
walls, timber for the floors and mud is used as the mortar to join the bricks.
There is extensive use of local materials. When the building gets old and gets
demolished, the materials like timber, mud, stone, and brick will have very
minimal impact on environment. These traditional as well as modern techniques
can be used in corporate building to make it sustainable.
I am trying to incorporate creative
spaces in corporate building. The work space is considered as a very mundane place.
Therefore, the purpose of my thesis would be to make creative work spaces which
would motivate people to work. The traditional work spaces constraints the
users which affects the efficiency of the company as a whole. If work spaces
are creative and inspiring, then it would be possible to increase the
efficiency of company. The creative work space would provide an opportunity to
create a positive working environment. It would help employees to get
self-motivated and creative in their work. My poster is about a traditional
work space where an employee jumps in excitement, when he sees the creative
spaces that has been created all over the world. The picture on the left most
corner is an office which has a beautiful glazed skylight where the employees
can see the beautiful colors of the tree outside. It gives the sense of
bringing the outdoors inside. The picture in the second left shows that free
plan of the workspace is helpful to the people working there as they have
freedom to move around. The two pictures on the top right are the work spaces
of google where we can see employees working in fancy offices which looks like a
ship and the picture on the rightmost is google employees singing karaoke.
Therefore, creative workspace can inspire as well as
motivate the employees so that they can enjoy their work and be more
productive. Creative work space increases the capacity of employees and in long
run is beneficial for the company.
