This does not change the relative distance or travel time to employment centers, but instead begins with the notion that quality of life, quality of living, is based on the concept of a town, where community is at the core.

Outstanding Concrete Structure 2012 ICI (TNCC) & UltraTech

Special Mention Award 2013 Engineering Watch

Award for Architecture 2014 AICA (Artists in Concrete Awards) The terminal buildings are elegant modern structures defined by dramatic, twin wing-like hovering roofs providing 300-meter-long, column free space. The straightforward planning and super- efficient organization of the program, security and circulation form the basis of an innovative design that incorporates vibrant sustainable gardens. Unlike any other airport in the world, lush green gardens are visible throughout the terminal creating a unique dialogue between engineering and nature, interior and exterior spaces and man’s relationship to earth and air travel.

Design of the Terminal is day-lit with a carefully crafted narrow floor-plate thus minimizing the reliance on artificial light. The large column free spaces and the constant view of outside landscape gives a feeling of lightness and brings nature inside.

Departure Hall The terminal building open-web, steel superstructure subtly rises to support twin-curved roofs that define a light and open, 260 meter long column-free terminal. Skylights highlight the geometry of the trusses, further defining the structural framework to allow natural light to permeate the terminal with a constantly changing pattern of shade and shadow.

SUSTAINABILITY In this project a high level of sustainability in nearly every aspect of design including restoration of native landscape, passive energy conservation strategies, material selection, on-site storm water detention and on-site waste water treatment & dispersal systems is achieved. This project has also been termed as ‘The Greenest Airport’ by the Architectural Record, a global Architectural Journal.

“Airports and Terminals are by nature energy guzzlers but Chennai Airport has proved that architects commitment to sustainability can make the structure regardless of typology and size Arrival hall Security Check area environment friendly.” - Ar. Gurpreet S Shah Vertical Garden is yet another novice and innovative feature being adopted in Chennai Airport. It is basically a stainless steel structure lattice providing support for hanging planters with vibrantly coloured lush vegetation including orchids.

Another architectural feature of Chennai Airport is ‘The arrival Tube’. The arrival tube connects the landside with the airside operations though the Central courtyard. The elliptical glass tube makes it way amidst the beautifully landscaped garden and thus strengthening the alliance between man and nature.

Texvalley “ To utilize every inch of the terrace & turning them into expansive green usable spaces has a micro-cosmic effect to the surroundings...So green , so appalling & so rejuvenating...!” Location : Erode, Tamil Nadu - Prof. Charanjit S Shah Client : Ministry of Textiles, Government of India Cost : 260 Crores “ Demand and requirement of the client have been carefully crafted in the BU Area : 1,51,400 sq.m. architectural design intent by integrating the built spaces and the open spaces...!” - Mr. Prabhpreet S Shah Designed for encouraging the growing power loom & hand loom industries in the rich textile belt of Erode-Tirupur-Coimbatore, Texvalley is a bold initiative by the Ministry of Textiles to put up an integrated state of the art complex for marketing & purchasing of textile products. Situated strategically at the edge of the Erode city along the national highway, the challenge was to provide a conspicuous satellite centre to the existing old city markets for the local vendors, manufacturers, suppliers to showcase their products to national & international buyers.

The project comprises of three major blocks, namely the Weekly Market, the Trade Fair Complex & the Super Mart building. The geometry of the Meenakshi Temple is highlighted into the design planning, resulting an inter flow of series of open spaces into the built forms. The three blocks are woven along a strong longitudinal axis which constitutes a pedestrian movement at an elevated level along with a parallel vehicular movement at the ground level. The pedestrian axis commences with an entrance plaza to the weekly market and elevates further to a floor height walkway, overlooking into the split levels within the weekly market before terminating into a central open elevated plaza.

Considering the dry & arid climate of the region, passive strategies of design were incorporated to maximize day-lighting & minimize heat gain. A series of courtyards accentuates the flow of air into the corridors running along them thus resulting in substantial reduction of energy required for mechanical means of ventilation. Use of green terraces at different level on the buildings & along the pedestrian plazas also helps in reducing the temperature. Water fountains & cascades are strategically located in & around the buildings so that the flowing breeze gathers moisture along its run. first of its kind mixed-use, integrated textile hub
