The clients brief lead to the choice of using alternative technologies in the three buildings that we designed for this project. The soil from the same site was used for the construction of the administrative building and the watchman’s cabin. The vaults and domes covering these spaces were constructed using the Nubian technique i.e. without using any shuttering depending on their caternary shapes and mud glue.
The kitchen and dining space was a simple R.C.C. structure having a precast R.C.C. rafter and purlin framing to take the G.I.sheet and manglore tile finish roof. The site development was also based on the pathways, which were used, by the labour regularly to resolve the slopes.
