At Shanmugam Associates, our architectural approach is focused around what we call the 3 C's: Climate, Context, and Concept. These principles are the foundation of our design philosophy, guiding every project from start to finish: 1. Climate – Ensures our buildings harmonize with their environment, optimizing natural ventilation, daylight, and energy efficiency, and maintaining comfortable ambient temperatures without the need for mechanical ventilation. 2. Context – Respects the cultural, historical, and physical surroundings, creating designs that resonate deeply with their locale. 3. Concept – Drives our overall vision. It helps us to decide on how to design spaces and what the building should look like. We create entirely new concepts for each project, by considering Climate and Context and addressing both in unique ways. Our recently completed Phase 1 of Vidhyashram International School at Jodhpur exemplifies this approach. Designed by myself, Raja Krishnan, Ramya Raman and Ajithkumar Ayyappan, the project reflects our commitment to these principles. A) Drawing inspiration from Jodhpur's narrow, shaded streets, we crafted internal spaces that naturally maintain cooler temperatures. B) The exterior massing pays homage to the region's iconic step wells, while locally sourced sandstone cladding grounds the building firmly in its context. This integration of regional influences with design principles has resulted in a school that is not just functionally effective but also culturally rich.   We look forward to sharing more insights from our design journey in the future. #architecturalapproach #climate #context #concept

For this reason, the house should be compatible with the climate, Indian design principles and modern uses. Therefore, it was important to consider features such as required space, functional areas, sunlight, etc. #interiordesign

Continuing our discussion on the architectural approach—the 3 C's: Climate, Context, and Concept As Shanmugam Associates recently completed Phase 1 of Vidhyashram International School - India in Jodhpur, I'd like to share a small GIF on the concept evolution, which clearly illustrates the thought process behind the school design using the 3 C's. This visual representation reflects on how our design evolved from initial ideas to the final output, which is always guided by our core principles: 1. Climate considerations shaped the building's form to optimize natural ventilation and shading. 2. Context approach made us use local materials that reflect Jodhpur's rich heritage. 3. Our concept with these elements together, resulted in a design that's both functional and culturally significant. This GIF shows when these principles come together, leading to a school that's not just a building, but a learning environment which is deeply rooted in its local culture. I believe that this visual journey offers valuable insights in SA’s design approach. It showcases how theoretical principles transform into tangible architecture that serves its users and respects its environment. We're always eager to discuss how our 3 C's approach can benefit various projects.  DM us to know more about how we bring your ideas to life. #Architecture #DesignProcess #SustainableDesign #EducationalSpaces
