Flow Frame

Guru Nanak Dev University

Idea projektu

FlowFrame is an office complex that explores movement and structure as the primary drivers of architectural form. The project responds to site constraints through a compact footprint while developing vertically to create spatial continuity and interaction.

Circulation becomes the central design strategy, with a continuous ramp system organizing the building around a central atrium. This vertical movement shapes both the spatial experience and the internal connectivity of the workplace.

An expressive space frame roof defines the architectural identity of the project, functioning as both a structural system and a symbolic representation of growth and adaptability. Together, movement, structure, and space form a cohesive workplace environment that balances efficiency with architectural expression.

Popis projektu

The project proposes a contemporary office complex that integrates circulation, structure, and spatial efficiency within a compact site. It focuses on vertical connectivity through ramps and atrium spaces while using a space frame roof as both a structural and identity-defining element.

The scope includes workplace planning, circulation strategy, and structural expression, presenting a flexible architectural framework adaptable to future corporate environments.

Technical Specification of the Project

The project is designed as a mid-rise office complex with a reinforced concrete structural system supported by a steel space frame roof. The primary structure consists of columns, beams, and slabs arranged to allow flexible interior planning.

Vertical circulation is provided through ramps, staircases, and elevators organized around a central atrium to ensure efficient movement and accessibility. The space frame roof is designed to span large areas, reducing the need for internal columns while enhancing structural efficiency.

The building envelope incorporates glazing and shading elements to maximize daylight while controlling heat gain. The project follows basic principles of structural stability, circulation efficiency, and environmental responsiveness within a conceptual design framework.
