ROLE OF JUNIOR ARCHITECT - AN INTERACTIVE SESSION FOR THE JUNIOR ARCHITECTS

What is the role of a junior architect and his struggles in the process of learning architecture?.... The discussion started with the difference in the role of Junior Architects in other firms vs the JA's in our own firm.How the Hierarchy in our office works effectively from the beginning of a project and client handling until the final output of the project.What is the reason for JA's handling entire projects and treating as their own, and being a main core to the project, which makes them very fluent about the process and execution of the design.  Is it a boon or a bane for the project/design because JA's handle the project entirely?How do JA's capture the core of a project starting from the scheme till the execution, understanding needs and space experience, how they give design inputs to the DA's instead of a fixed solution, to the project. There is no fixed concept for a residence/home, we have to understand the requirements and spaces from the clients point of view and give them an experience that will create an impact, and to represent it accordingly to the differentiating needs of a client
The Tamil Nadu style of architecture has taken a down fall, how can we reclaim its architectural style and heritage, in our current context?How do we impact lives through architecture, and also maintain a specific identity?How can we improvise the Tamil Nadu style of architecture?

PROPOSED RESIDENCE FOR MR.SELVAKUMAR AT NAMAKKAL

THE BRICK HOUSE AT NAMMAKAL

Site Visit By Murali Architects Team...Sharing the Architect Deepan's site inspection and his experience through the spaces...
The warm, rustic charm of exposed brick walls convey a feeling of warmth and enveloping comfort. To me, the exposed brick reflected the traditional rich history while embracing the artsy style of a modern generation.

The Double height Family Living Spaces Fullfilled with Natural Light and Continuous Cross ventilation. Exposed Brick and Exposed Concrete play magnificent role in this Building...
Since Nammakal experiences naturally a very Hot climate...
These Exposed Bricks acts as Thermal barrier and keeps the Interior space warm and cool...
The Continuous Fresh Air Flow Movement through the building helps the escape the Hot air through Concrete Louvers in Terrace Floor - Stack Effect

Bringing Back Old Traditional Building Techniques....
