FOOD COURT - IBM Bangalore
• The objective of the brief was to create a building of about 40,000 sqft. to
house various multi-cuisine restaurants with requisite seating, cooking
areas and auxiliary services. The structure was to be a lightweight and
aesthetically designed one, which could be constructed at a fast pace.
Energy efficiency and eco-sensitivity were to be considered bearing in
mind the responsibility to address these issues.
• Along the lines of the architectural and engineering requirements that the
brief put forward many alternatives were presented. The solution that
finally crystallized was in the form of a building with pre-fabricated
components in structural steel along with lightweight new-age materials. A
circular footprint with polar symmetry was conceived for its superior
advantages in terms of industrial standardization. In aesthetic terms this
translated as a soft streamlined form speaking a contemporary language –
a structure that boldly displays the technology and materials it is created
out of.
Structure and Materials

• Structural steel and lightweight roofing and façade materials have been put
together with innovative joinery to create this technically sound building. The
supports, connections and materials are honestly displayed and impart a
beautiful modern aesthetic language to the structure.
• The prefabricated steel components have been designed and fabricated such
that 80% of the total work involved in the construction was carried out at the
workshop prior to the commencement of work on site. This meant savings in
terms of on-site working time, control on accuracy and finish and optimisation
of material and labor. All this directly links to cost efficiency.
• The structure consists of 18 peripheral steel columns that support a

peripheral ring beam. An internal ring beam that defines the central cut out is
supported by 18 pre-stressed cables, which connect to the lowest level.
There is no cross-supporting for the roof. Panels of pre-stressed P.V.C.
membrane that have been seamed together stretch continuously between
the two ring beams with an inward slope forming the roof cover. The roof is
strong enough for a person to walk on it for maintenance purposes. The
façade does not have typical walls and windows. Instead, P.V.C. mesh
membrane panels are stretched like the sails of a ship using cables from the
top level to the lower level. This mesh blocks the vision from the outside, but
lets the people inside have a view of the outside. Over 70% of the periphery
is in mesh and the balance is in glass and steel sheets. These materials are
used for enclosing areas that needed privacy or insulation.
• The main structure itself supports the floor and roof avoiding the need for a
secondary or tertiary structure. The intermediate levels have castellated
steel sections with steel chequered plate flooring. The design of the floor
optimises the use of material and renders the flooring light, yet strong. The
voids in the steel supports are used to pass service lines through.
Environmental impact
The environmental impact of the structure has been continuously considered
and the technology, materials, and planning reflect this.
The life span of the steel structure is about 50 years and that of the P.V.C.
fabrics is about 30 years. All materials used are completely re-cyclable and the
building itself can be dismantled and erected elsewhere. The circular design
utilizes hoop stress effectively and minimizes sizes of supporting structural
members thus saving on material. The detailed joinery involves minimal on site
welding and saves time energy and labor. The super-efficient light materials
used ensure that the dead weight of the structure is 20% of that of a regular
structure.
The interiors require no daytime artificial lighting due to the translucent roof and
mesh membrane facade. At night also the bounced off light minimizes lighting
requirement. The need for artificial ventilation is also low due to the permeable
mesh and central opening in the roof.
