This auditorium, which was created by architecture interspace for St. Patrick’s School in Puducherry, is an example of how Design reflects the principle of “function first.” The design was intended to make the most of the space that was available when the previous playground at the school was removed to make room for the construction. The constructed shape is plain and straightforward, with parking located at the stilt level and the examination hall located on the first floor. The theater is positioned above the stilt level for practical reasons. Although the basement is constructed using pilotis and a raft foundation, the circulation cores provide only a limited amount of interruption to the amount of floor space. This program’s structural organization provides provisions for simple connection on the ground and first levels, as well as a column-free theater with a bigger roof height that is supported by a structural steel truss on the second and highest floor of the building. In addition, the examination room is divided into many smaller classes that are located along its length. A focused design strategy that stems from a strong effort to increase functionality and minimise construction costs, the structure features windows that maximise the admission of daylight, thereby contributing to lower energy consumption throughout the day. This is a design of the structure that was designed with the intention of reducing energy consumption. The interior design, which consists of white walls and wooden laminates, contributes to the sense of convergence at the stage. Additionally, the fake ceiling and lighting design, which includes both white and warm white leds, creates an atmosphere that is both pleasant and formal. The uncovered facade is distinctive and stands out as an important component. An artistic delight, the ‘jaali’ wall that was created as a consequence has a folding pattern that is reminiscent of origami. Concrete is cast in a plywood mold, and the resulting design is then translated into prefabricated pieces that measure 0.75 meters by 0.75 meters by 0.12 meters. The use of steel rebars with a diameter of 8 millimeters and a concrete mixture with a ratio of 1:1.5:3 results in a module that is both lightweight and robust. The wall that is produced is an accumulation of these individual modules. The characteristic of the terrain is yet another intervention that draws the viewer’s attention. It was created to seem like a casual surface emerging from the ground; it is whimsical while yet being formal; it is made to accommodate groups; it is adaptable in its usage; and it molds the relationships of young people. This idea is essentially realized via architectural interspace, which strikes a balance between being honest and allowing for a little bit of indulgence.
