BATCH NO. - 22 ACADEMIC YEAR 2023-24
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN- VI (7AR4) MAXIMUM MARKS: 250

FACULTY: Jaswant Singh, Barsa Mohanty, Dilip Singh

PROJECT: PARSHURAM STATUE COMPLEX MAX. MARKS: 150

INTRODUCTION:

The project envisages establishing a State of the Art religious complex with a 101 feet
high Statue of Lord Parshuram at the centre. The 101 feet high bronze metal Statue of
Lord Parshuram will be casted in ‘low-wax process’ and shall be placed over 20 to 25
feet high pedestal. Therefore, the total height, including the pedestal, would be around
121 feet.

There will be Hawan Kunds on two sides of the pedestal for offering Hawans and pujas.
A multipurpose hall would be built to perform any religious ritual. The complex will
also have souvenir shop for display and sale of merchandise. A food court with multiple
food counters is also included in the project. The ticketing counter with back office
and storage facilities would be located near the entrance. The complex will also have
a model display room / museum for display of all the principles of Hindu divine
characters. There shall be four numbers of meditation huts, a premium category guest
house, Pujari residential quarter and staff quarter. There will also be toilet blocks
comprising of Male and Female toilets in the compound.

The main entry leading to the statue of Lord Parshuram is proposed to be named
PARSHU MARG wherein all the history of Lord Parshuram will be carved and depicted
along the wall. The murals and artwork would be adequately displayed in different
areas of the complex. Adequate numbers of gazeboes or covered sitting huts will be
constructed. The complex will also have children play zone having an area. The water
bodies with sprinkle fountain and foam bubblers have also been proposed in this
project.

The project features also include stone paved area and public space with weather proof
benches. The hard and soft landscaped area comprising of turf grass landscaping with
stone pitched planters’ blocks, pergolas and shelter shall be put up to create ample
greenery inside the entire complex. The complex will have approach road and internal
roads, approach ramps and steps etc. The complex will have parking facility to
accommodate at least 100 cars. The entire complex will be connected through stone
pitched foot path.

The project features also include water supply, waste management and fire fighting
system. The entire complex will be adequately illuminated with compound illumination
system, garden lights, architectural LED lighting etc.

INTENT : As per the theme of this studio , the intent is to make students learn to
design buildings with the integration of site and landscaping elements. To achieve the
desired intent we shall have certain design parameters such as :
▪ Site planning – Zoning and placement of various built spaces and their co-
relation with open spaces and circulation.
▪ Site topography – How to design buildings and manage allied services on a
sites with terrains ,slopes or undulations.
▪ View and vistas – To make students understand the importance of views and
vistas of a project from different directions and their impact on the users
through thoughtful placement of build blocks, access routes, parking ,
landscaping, etc.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To design a project which connect the built and open surrounding spaces.
2. To understand the organization of land use zoning, access, circulation , drainage
pattern, shelter etc.
3. To understand the importance of site planning and landscaping in an architectural
project.

DESIGN CHALLENGES :

A. Challenges of this design project are as following:

1) The proposed site is located on sloped terrain, so site topography is a challenge.

3) Built form and their placement on the site.
4) Managing circulation through integration of landscaping.
5) Storm water management
6) The location and orientation of the statue pavilion and allied buildings has to be
done keeping in mind the importance of aesthetics, functionality and appealing
views.
EXPECTED OUTCOME:

The expected learning outcome at the end of studio:

1. The students must be able to organize various activities within the site while
maintaining the circulation areas efficiently.
2. The students must have an ample idea of zoning and site planning concepts
on a site with sloping terrains.
3. The students must be able to detail out the landscape planning and the
relationship between built and open spaces in a coherent manner.
