Located at the business hub at Nehru Place, New Delhi. IFCI Ltd. has an auditorium for various purposes, out of which main being the performances. IFCI with the ideology of adopting to green culture with green building and supporting the cause of usage of bamboo as structural as well as aesthetic element, approached NMBA.
The total covered area/area handled being 570 sq.ft and providing shelter to existing bridge and stair case, while creating the entire green room, including couple of changing rooms, toilet and main make-up area.
The main structure is designed using structural bamboos, while the surface to the structure is provided by bamboo composite SIP, and roofing with bamboo composite roofing panels.
The bridge and he stair case shelter has a cascading approach into its elevation, all the roofing panels are connected, though not physically not connected the top view reveals the idea), other components are designed using the linearity of bamboo for creating mass/surfaces. Intricate bamboo structure interlocks as well as creates balance and movement in the structure in addition to skeletal and surface requirement.
The complete structure is a knockdown structure, which could be brought down.
