Thread Corridor, construction of new student housing in india

Description

India is home to hundreds of ethnic groups, each with its own language, religious beliefs and cultural traditions. Indian culture has been enriched and developed in a continuous process of hybridization, sharing, and comparison, and in this landscape, the city of Noida is among the most vibrant at the university level and full of colleges and schools.

The Thread Corridor project is developed by noting that curiosity about different cultures is already a model of education, enriching the individual and promoting open-mindedness. The goal of the project, therefore, is to foster communication between people and create more opportunities for encounters. The school campus, therefore, crisscrossed by a single corridor that connects all the buildings, provides a continuous opportunity for students from all over the world to meet and gather. The corridor is the pivotal element around which the entire project moves.

All key functions of the building are integrated with the corridor, which also serves as the focal point for communal spaces, event rooms, specialized classrooms, cafes, multimedia rooms, gymnasiums, libraries, yoga studios, dining areas, study spaces, and outdoor squares.

The campus also dialogues and opens outward to the surrounding city. The entrance plaza, the secondary plaza and the lowered plaza, together with the outdoor seating, erase the boundaries between architecture and environment. The facades, open and lightened by numerous windows, blur the threshold between inside and outside even more. A shallow pool invites a more fun and less traditional entry to the campus through the pool. The water element sandwiched between the buildings also provides good natural ventilation and cools the rooms.
