Marketel Head Office

D[+]DR proposed an alternate skin for the Marketel Head office.
There is a constant endeavor of the main office to reflect the program of the interiors onto its facade. The building itself represents the context within which it operates. The "Travel Jaali" is a symbol of the hospitality industry that the clients deal with. In addition to the semantic connect it also serves as a surface protecting the building from the harsh South + West sun.

Development:
Point field - modulated to provide desired opening sizes and location














Fabrication:
The Indian construction industry operates between a marriage between several Hi-Tech + Low-tech marriages. Owing to budget constraint, the entire surface is being labour-cut by custom made moulds.

Each MS sheet of 4' x 2' is cut manually by a temporary mould and fixed in situ. The sheet size governs not only its own strength but also the structural glazing intervals









Deployment:
