Hindu Temple (preliminary perspective)

This is a preliminary rendering of my building. I still have to design the facade of the building and the form of the temple at the top of the building.

HINDU TEMPLE (preliminary perspectives)

 this is a preliminary rendering of the approach to my building. Sorry about the barely perceptible curved pattern on the rail. This pattern will become the pattern on the facade of the building

HINDU TEMPLE (Preliminary sections)

 G stands for gallery, this gallery gradually sweeps around the building and terminates at the top of the building (the temple).

HINDU TEMPLE (4th level floor plan)

KEY
B.R               Bathroom
C.A Male      Male Changing Room
C.A Female   Female Changing Room


This is my 4th floor plan. This floor will house the temple. It will also include a changing area for both men and women before they enter the temple. The changing area is separated from the temple by a ramp which connects the temple (elevated 3 feet) and the changing area.

Hindu Temple (3rd level floor plan)

This is my 3rd floor plan. This floor will house my rooms dedicated to the mind, (classrooms etc). The stair, elevator and gallery entry is located on the right and the exit/entrance to the gallery is on the left.

Hindu Temple (2nd level floor plan)

This is my basic floor plan for the second level which would include spaces dedicated to the body, the massage rooms and yoga studio. On the right I have the entrance to the space from the gallery and elevator and elevator. On the left there is an exit/ entrance from the gallery.

HIndu Temple (Floor plan of Kitchen and dining hall)

I decided to design the space layout from ground up. I decided to delve my kitchen/dining area into the site  to create an interesting and exciting space. Above is an image of my proposed floor plan for this area. The light gray space would be dedicated to circulation and the kitchen and bathroom area. The light blue meandering area is actually a water element that begins on the site and extends to cut through the space. It also separates the kitchen area from the dining area. The dining area is raised 3' above the kitchen area and is accessed by means of the bridges (light red forms). The dining area also extends to an outdoor space which is indicated by the green area. The indoor dining and kitchen area will be underground while the outdoor area will be a cut out of the site.

Hindu Temple ( Building form derived from Parti)

This is a progression of my building form. It is derived the idea of an energy that is limitless and encompasses all without a fixed axis. This is displayed by the spiraling gallery that begins at the entry and connects all the building elements as it ultimately leads to the temple. Below are the steps I  took to convey this. 

 First I developed the idea of energy that will encapsulate the building. This is displayed as the red ribbon -like form which will become my gallery.

 Next I developed the idea of a spherical mass which the red band will encapsulate. I chose a spherical form because it mimics the form of the earth. It is representation of the omnipresence of the energy of the Hindu religion (the red band),  around the entire world. (the blue sphere)

 Finally I deconstructed the sphere to further develop the form of the  rest of

my building. This form will become the basis of my design.

HINDU TEMPLE (Massing of spaces)

This is a preliminary design of the arrangement of my spaces on the site. However it does not reflect the actual form of my building.

Hindu Temple and Community Center (connection collage)

This collage displays the main ideas of connection in relation to my Hindu Temple and Community Center.  It conveys the connection of mind, body and spirit in the backdrop of strong community and an all encompassing religion.

Hindu Temple (parti models)

This model was extracted from the "body" element of my collage. I used the  wooden skewers to display the structure of the body, its bones. The brown paper and white string represents strands of muscle. The bone and muscle augment each other and are co-dependent. This is shown in the model as the paper and strings are held up by the skewers, but the skewers are strengthened by the paper and string.

This model represents the element of community in my collage. Each arch is connected at a central point. This represents the binding together of individuals in the community by a singular force. 

In this model I attempted to convey the omnipresence of religion. This is represented by the amorphous, twisting sculpture. I chose this form because this is a form that I believe would be able to weave through time and space and encompass all.

This model was designed to display one's spirit.  Amorphous and limitless but still tied down. 

This model displays the symbiosis of community. The straight toothpick cannot remain upright without the triangular toothpick and vice versa. 

This model was designed to display the interweaving of the lives and experiences of the community.

This model was designed to display the symbiosis of elements of the body, the structure (bones) and muscles. The muscle (red band) and the bone (wooden stick).

This model conveys the union and connection of community to create something great that couldn't be possible without  elements of structures. The right base is interlocked into the left base and the wooden sticks of each side come together to form a structure that wouldn't be possible without the union of the bases.
