Woodland: Wood Workshop and Learning Center

Abstract

Furniture making is an interesting specialty which requires a lot of expertise and craftsmanship. It's not just subject to the expertise of the specialist yet additionally nature and conditions that are given to the laborer. Another deciding component is the fundamental preparing and aptitudes of the specialist ·and laborer. In Pakistan the workshops we have are dreary, unsatisfying, unexciting and ·dull that influences the work productivity and learning of the people; The point of this thesis is to split far from the ordinary thought of work spaces appearing to be upsetting and antagonistic; rather making a ...) learning focus cum workshop for woodcraft, that have an intelligent building program with spatial encounters made by the intermixing of program with the design. The program accommodated by this thesis is a combination of work and learn functions, including workshops as well as learning studios. Thus creating a balance between the two was a challenge. There are two sections to the program: the working system and the learning program. Both needed to work next to each other so the plan of the building needed to make a harmony between the two, unite them in an experiential, energizing and useful work learn space. As the project itself focuses on a skill which is purely visual and at most haptic in nature, the crux of the project also falls on the articulation of the form, and the use of the joineries in the design.
