Lovely Professional University (LPU) Architecture & Design students Divyansh Gupta, Shreyansh Jain, Hitesh Luthra, and Abhishek Tripathi have emerged as world-winners by presenting incredible ideas of architectural & landscape design and site-planning. These four promising architects at LPU had competed for the United Kingdom based global design competition- ‘House in Forest 2017’, which was organised by architecture oriented website ‘Arch-Daily’. More than 2000 architectural persons had participated in this competition.
The aim of the competition was to promote ideas of protecting the forest and its environment. It also encouraged the creation of new living style for houses, pavilions, structures, or landscape. LPU students’ design artistry ‘the Harmonious Niche’ won First Prize of $500 and Winners’ Certificate.
Explaining all about the winning design, 7th Semester of LPU architecture students Shreyansh of Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) & Divyansh of Ludhiana (Punjab) inform: “Our design ‘Harmonious Niche’ is wholly influenced from nature and is designed for nature. Keeping in mind the visibility of all three aspects of nature-air, water and land from the building, the design is in harmony with the context of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This design has the form of a ‘bud’ for an originating flower.”
Technologically illustrating, Hitesh and Abhishek, who hail from Saharanpur & Shahjahan Pur (Uttar Pradesh), share: “This 18-meter tall & 5-storey design is to provide better vision of surroundings, to catch more of natural light and to allow heat penetration also through glass façade. There is continuous wooden spiral staircase from bottom to top; usage of sound absorbing local material bamboo; floor created underwater to get the enchanting views of aquatic life; and, above all, the different portions of the building are to provide mesmerizing 360 degree view of the whole Andaman Nicobar Islands.”
