Factory Building at Manesar, Haryana

United Engineering(E) Corporation of Calcutta had planned to construct their steel container factory at Manesar in 2006.

It was primarily divided into two sections.

A> Production Yard and loading/unloading bay

B> The administrative and show room

The main factory has a span of 20m with a gantry crane of 20tonnes capacity. Since economy, natural light and ventilation and safety were the three basic objectives of the design, a climate responsive and form active system was developed with a minimalist aproach.

The recent feedback from the factory revealed that the indoor environment has been comfortable during the peak summer of Delhi. Adequate light and ventilation has significantly reduced electricity consumption and enhanced thermal comfort.

Four buildings were constructed in the campus using local bricks and the least amount of cement and steel with the help of a local mason Nazrul Islam. The objective was to construct thermally comfortable buildings with low life cycle cost.

 

The corbelled arch roof was an adaptation of the traditional corbelled bengal roof in a revitalized form. The cowshed was based on corbel squinch and corbel dome. The hybrid roof was inspired by Luko Churi (hide and seek) darwaza of Gaur, Malda, India. The walls were made of rattrap bonded brick masonry.
