The Project titled The Hive : Biophilic Co-working Spaces is the architectural design project of semester 9. Each student had to select a building typology of their choice and develop a programme as a design solution by setting parameters for the design, understand environmental impacts of the pre- and post- design functioning of the project after identifying the problems and explore possible design solutions in urban and peri-urban contexts. The final design solution is expected to be functional, efficient, aesthetic and eco-friendly, respond to historical, environmental and urban contexts while providing apt urban infrastructure for the present and future developments around the project site. The student has selected co-working spaces to encourage people from diverse background to meet, interact, share and exchange resources and knowledge to motivate business and enact new sustainable strategies.
