Excerpt: INIFD Gandhinagar is an institute designed by Studio B Design designated for fashion and interior design courses. The client’s requirement was depicted and realised in two kind of spaces, completely different in nature with each other. This led us to work on a core idea of creating “an institute which has two or more facts contrasting each other- The Introverted and The Extroverted.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by Architect] INIFD Gandhinagar is primarily an institute offering various short and long term courses in the field of fashion and interior design.
The 6000 sqft area is divided in two floors, designated for fashion and interior design courses. The client’s requirement was depicted and realised in two kind of spaces, completely different in nature with each other. This led us to work on a core idea of creating “an institute which has two or more facts contrasting each other”
One- the spaces which are extrovert in nature –they are more public and hence see more traffic of human movement. Foyers, reception, waiting area and passages are used for generating a dialogue between the visitor & the institute. Here we have tried to achieve an ambience that offers healthy contrast of spatial elements, complimenting each other.
Two-the spaces which are introvert in nature- spaces for learning which sees limited traffic of human movement. Classrooms are conceived with simple and minimal approach. This helps classroom spaces to get transformed through the work of the students, it is inhabited by.
