Thread Corridor, construction of new student housing in india

Description

India boasts a multitude of ethnic groups, each with its distinct language, religious practices, and cultural heritage. The country’s culture has flourished through a continuous process of hybridization, sharing, and comparison. In this vibrant landscape, Noida stands out as a bustling hub of academic activity, home to numerous colleges and schools.

The Thread Corridor project recognizes that curiosity about diverse cultures inherently promotes personal growth and mental openness. Therefore, the project aims to foster communication among individuals and create more opportunities for interaction. The campus, traversed by a central corridor connecting all buildings, serves as a continuous meeting point for students from around the world. This corridor serves as the linchpin around which the entire project revolves.

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 not only facilitates internal dialogue but also extends its reach to the surrounding city. Entrance squares, secondary squares, and sunken squares, along with outdoor seating, blur the boundaries between architecture and environment. The facades, punctuated by numerous windows, further dissolve the distinction between interior and exterior spaces. A shallow pool provides a playful and unconventional entrance to the campus, while also serving to enhance natural ventilation and cool the rooms through its water element integrated between the buildings.
