移动景观的想法起源于偶然发现的一块石头-比达萨森林，它给人的印象似乎是热带干旱的景观本身就变成了化石。它的抛光表面与艾哈迈达巴德地区的天然绿荫相衬，形成了完美的环境，模糊了现实与幻象之间的界线。

The idea for moving landscape germinated from stumbling upon a stone, Bidasar Forest, that possesses an impression, as if, of tropical arid landscape fossilized within itself. Its polished surfaces against the native verdure of the Ahmedabad region made for the perfect setting, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

在过去的十年里，这个国家蓬勃发展的经济使更多的社会阶层能够获得个人住房。伴随着对保护个性的独立的要求，共同家庭生活的古老传统已经瓦解成为小核心家庭。尽管在目前的印度文化背景下，文化态度发生了这种变化，但仍有许多家庭选择住在一起，这些家庭受到家族企业的约束，并受到传统根深蒂固的价值观的约束。虽然这使得他们能够从几代人共同承担的责任中受益，但这往往导致在一所房子内建立自治套房，即使在同一屋檐下也能隔离家庭。因此，挑战在于同时整合这些对立生活方式的要求-在提供隐私的同时，同样必须为社区冲突提供机会。

The nations booming economy in the last decade has made individual houses accessible to a larger section of society. Coupled with the demand for an independence that protects individuality, the age old tradition of joint family living has disintegrated into small nuclear families. Despite this change of cultural attitude in the present Indian context, a large number of families, bound by family business and obliged by traditional ingrained values, still choose to live together. Whilst this allows them to benefit from shared responsibility across generations, it often leads to the creation of autonomous suites within a house that isolates families even under the same roof. The challenge therefore lies in simultaneously integrating the requirements of these opposing lifestyles - making it equally imperative to provide opportunities for communal collision, while providing privacy.

位于艾哈迈达巴德郊外的这座房子，意在容纳该市最多产的房地产开发商之一和他的妻子，以及他的两个儿子的家人和长期来访的成员。这位客户还与他的另外两个兄弟的房子和他们的联名家庭共用一块面积达20000平方米的土地。

Situated on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, the house is meant to accommodate one of the city’s most prolific real-estate developers and his wife, along with his two sons’ families and extended visiting members. The client also shares the grounds with his two other brothers’ houses and their joint families in a large 20000 m2 plot.

这座房子的规划被解释为一个直线展馆，确保房子的每一个空间都在正面用玻璃排列-这是第一个围墙。其余的结构是在200毫米薄墙混凝土，消除了任何梁和柱的需要，并使最干净的内部体积。此外，这节省了建造的死空间约3%，在18，000总覆盖面积，这相当于540平方英尺或一个平均大小的房间的大小。

The plan of the house is interpreted as a linear pavilion, ensuring that every space in the house is lined with glass on the facing sides – the first enclosure. The rest of the structure is in 200mm thin walls in concrete, eliminating the need for any beams and columns and making for cleanest interior volumes. Additionally, this saves constructed dead space by about 3% and for the 18,000 total covered area, this equals to 540 sq.ft or the size of an average sized room.

这个展馆围绕着场地的边缘作为三个翅膀。侧翼占据着房子的私人空间，每一个儿子的家庭都有套房，而中央则是所有公共活动的居住空间。街区拐弯留下的角落空隙被高高的圆形墙紧紧地保护着，形成了更小的遮蔽空间-而其中一个支撑着房屋的公用空间，另一个则充当着远离家庭共同凝视的法庭。这些也包括楼梯和电梯，使外部空间为比德萨戏剧的展开清除了所有障碍。作为一个整体的组成足迹确定了一个大的多家庭庭院在中心的网站。

This pavilion is oriented around the margin of the site as three wings. The flanks holds the house’s private spaces with suites for each of the sons’ families, while the central one hosts the living space for all communal activities. The residual corner voids by the turning of the blocks, are snugly protected by tall circular walls to form smaller sheltered spaces – while one cradles the houses’ utility space, the other acts as a court distant from the joint families gaze. These also carry the staircases and lift, rendering outer spaces clear of all encumbrances for the Bidasar drama to unfold. The composition as a whole footprint defines a large multi family courtyard at the heart of the site.

第二个外壳是一层巨大的15‘高，9’宽和1‘6英寸厚的比扎石墙沿整个周长-一个坚不可摧的外壳。类似于紫水晶坚硬的外部裂开，露出其水晶心，按下按钮，这个看似沉重的石墙就会裂开，因为它变成了一组面板，在它们的中心轻轻旋转，或者滑开，露出透明的茧状内部。可随心所欲地随意使用，不需要时可溶解。

The second enclosure is a layer of massive 15’ high, 9’ wide and 1’6”mm thick Bidaser stone walls along the entire perimeter – an impregnable shell. Akin to the amethysts hard exterior cracking open to reveal its crystalline heart, at the push of a button, this imposingly heavy stone wall cracks open, as it becomes an array of panels spinning gently about their centres or sliding away to reveal a transparent cocooned interior. Can be employed at will whenever desired and dissolved when not.

这一层石板有助于在内部和外部之间创造一个缓冲，保护混凝土和玻璃的内层外壳免受强烈的阳光和45度高温的影响，从而降低空调的总热量。此外，该空间还兼作通道、走廊、入口前厅和流通空间，也是防雨空间，在总共18000个宜居空间中，不需要8000平方英尺的空调。在我们所谓的价值建筑中，这种节约被强化的生活和与自然的直接接触所取代。

This layer of stone panels help create a buffer between the inside and the outside, protecting the inner layer shell of concrete and glass from intense sun light and 45o heat, thereby reducing the total heat gain on the air-conditioning. Moreover, this space doubles up as passages, verandahs, entrance vestibule and circulation space, and also as protection from rain, eliminating the need for air-conditioning in 8000sq.ft out of a total of 18000 habitable space. This saving is substituted with enhanced living and direct contact with nature in what we term as value architecture.

节省的空调和密封的房子，然后被引导到制造室内定制设计的机动枢轴和巨大的滑动系统。无论在建筑上还是在结构上，这整个层都与内部结构完全分离，几乎是一个热缓冲，只有在滑动和旋转系统中的隐藏结构上才有支撑，这让人敬畏地看到厚厚的混凝土板漂浮在移动的石头上。

Savings from the air-conditioning and sealing the house, is then channelled into making inhouse custom designed motorized pivots and giant sliding systems. Architecturally and structurally both, this entire layer is kept completely detached from the inside structure, almost as a heat buffer, and is only supported on hidden structures within in the sliding and pivoting systems, making for the awe in having thick concrete slabs floating on moving stones.

灯光是由石材加工而成，提供了最自然的环境。大多数家具都是从意大利的各种设计院买来的，唯一的酒吧桌是建筑师们设计的一种定制。这是一个三维莫比乌斯带不锈钢，当地制造，可以讨论的主题和知识讨论后，几杯饮料。在移动的墙壁下，灯光和水照亮了水，使沉重的石头浮在水面上。

Lights are machined out of alabaster stone providing for the most natural ambience. Most furniture is bought out from various design houses in Italy and a sole bar table is one custom designed by the Architects. It is a 3 dimensional mobius strip in stainless steel, locally fabricated, that can be subject of discussion and intellectual discourse after a couple of drinks. Lights and water under the moving walls light the water to make the heavy stones appear floating on water.

厕所两端太开，厕所、淋浴器和洗脸盆都位于管道的三面，第四面靠左，方便使用，并从外面通风到管道。

Toilets too open on opposite ends and the water closet, the shower and the basin, all three are positioned on 3 side of the duct, the fourth side left for easy service access and ventilation to the duct from outside.To carry on with the material & weight amazement further the thick concrete basin counter is cantilevered from the floor to ceiling mirror. In line with the same philosophy of the easy maintenance and serviceblity AC units have been kept on the roof with just holes cut in slab for blower. This approach of integrating the services and interiors in construction itself doesn’t only make it easy to service; it also saved a lot of time off construction. The entire building was ready in 18 months time from start to furnish.

与自然的最严酷的方面共振，在运动中，这些壁与玻璃内部的玻璃和外部的野生环境相互混合，第三外壳有时允许户外的滑动，有时反射它并有时反射它们自己。它在这个空间和屏幕的分层中，房子的房子“整个信封变成了一个界面，可以在内外网站的技巧之间进行中介。”

Resonating with the harshest aspects of nature, in motion, these walls intermingle with the glass inside and the wild landscape outside, the third enclosure, to sometimes allow a glimse of the outdoors, sometimes reflect it and sometimes reflecting themselves. It is in this layering of space and screen, the houses’ entire envelope becomes an interface to mediate between the artifice of the inside and verdant site outside.

房子周围的环境看得很深，因为房子融入了一种景观不断移动的错觉，我们有时会发现自己在其中思考，反思我们内部和外部的自然。他们的经验的缩影是在房子的入口处，在那里所有这些倒影都能找到水面，使景观成为一个真正动人的景观。

The houses environs look deep inside their interior, as the house merges into an illusion of landscape constantly moving that we sometimes catch ourselves reflecting amongst, reflecting on the nature both within us and outside of us. The epitome of their experience is to be found at the entrance passage of the house, where all of these reflections find the surface of water to make the landscape a truly moving one.
