Industrial architecture: A design synthesis!

The active engagement of industry and architecture is required for a lasting imprint on the way industry operates and is conceived. To refurbish a new awareness of social role played by a workplace in a premises and increase profitability towards human needs, ecology and environment factors - a rethinking module has to be made!

The parameters for designing an industrial campus are associated with dramatic societal changes to reflect and respond to innovation and formulate an avant-garde image for an industry.

The picturesque program calls for a design sequence that would incorporate high degree of security and hygiene along with regulation of inward traffic and moreover an ambience conducive to a high degree of end product. The urban phenomenon has emerged various challenging factors among us ranging from geography, locations, global and local surroundings to a three dimensional planning and use of new materials and technology towards an effective architectural form.

Every industry has its own constraints and to attain a functionally planned layout of all requirements on the site and create a visual impact certain objectives of uni-directional material flow, supporting technical services such as electrical, mechanical, fire fighting etc. has to be achieved. Use of less artificial mediators and creation of buffer spaces along with maximum optimization of daylight can generate highly responsible surroundings and less external demands of induce negative energy consumption and environmental effects!

Certain factors such as to avoid the possibilities of contamination, controlling effective climate, differential pressure zones, constructing light duty structures for warehouses along with illumination levels, communication, clearance and motion economy plays an vital role in industrial design process.

Thus, with the present scenario and changing structures over the time this shall play an effective role between architecture, planning and industry. The experiences of our past architecture collaborations with industries along with present shall bring a new era towards industrial architecture and shall create a special bond between them in near future.
