Services
• All buildings ,which are 15 m and above and all institutional buildings
,occupancies . Having area more than 500sqm on each floor shall have a
minimum of two staircases.
• Min width of staircase in institutional buildings upto 30m high is 1.5m.
Tread 300mm riser 150mm & max no of steps in a flight 15
• Min illumination value for all working areas = 150 lux; lecture theatres,
library & workshops 300 lux ; labs ,seminar rooms & art studios is 500 lux ;
circulation areas = 100 lux
• Generally , while taller openings give greater penetration , broader
openings give better distribution of light . It is preferable that some of sky
at an altitude of 20to25degrees should light up the work plane
• Broader openings may equally or more efficient , provided the sill are
raised by 300mm to 600mm above the work plane
• Openings in deep reveals tend to minimise glare effect
• Lighting from sides in general will be unsatisfactory if the effective width of
the room is more than 2 to 2.5 times the distance of floor to the top of the
opening

4. WATER DRAINAGE VEGETATIONWATER CHANNELSTOPOGRAPHY
In summers the sun is at high altitude ,the roof receives much more
radiation than the walls , thus horizontal shade is enough , how ever in
winters when the position of the sun is lowered , vertical louvers
becomes necessary.
Humidity is low in dry periods at 20 to 55% During wet periods it rises
to 55 to 95% High humidity causes discomfort thus adequate
ventilation is required.
The buildings should be oriented in such a way so that the major faces
are on the north or south to reduce the exposure to the sun .
Buildings should be placed broadly to allow the breeze .
Medium openings of about 15-25% of floor area should be provided.
Windows should be banked on the north or south walls to allow cross
ventilation .
Openings on east are desirable but west should be avoided .
Dust storms in summer and cold winds in winter blow from the north
west direction.
Compact internal planning with courtyard is suitable. Grouping should
be such to avail maximum winds in summer.
Moderate low rise buildings are desirable .
Shading on the external walls and shelter from winds in cold season is
essential.
Surfaces exposed to solar radiation must be bright colored or of shiny
material .
Water bodies are desirable to improve the micro climate.
The S.P.A. Campus being located 4.5 kms from the Yellow Line Transit station and 1.0 km from the Bus Rapid Transit
Line , an alternate bus shuttle service is proposed for catering to the different institutions and campuses around the
site including S.P.A. itself . The New S.P.A. Campus is strategically located between a variety of different land uses; an
existing institutional and campus area along with the Bio-Diversity Park to its north , Grand Hotel and Vasant Kunj Malls
to its east and Vasant Kunj DOA Housing along its southern edge.This provides an unique opportunity for the Campus to
adopt an environmental approach and bind together a strong identity for the Vasant Kunj South Campus area providing
better connections to the surrounding neighborhood.
The site is an irregular shaped with two faces of 340m & 208m While the rest is an irregular curve joining the two
points. . The lowest point of the site is at +251m above MSL whereas the highest point is at +266m. The main dominant
level is +265.5m. The site is 20 acres approximately 80937.1sqm

Climatic Data
Educational institutions are indicators of the direction in which a culture intends ta be headed in . Built in anticipation of
market trends : they represent the value that a community attaches to learning.
Education as a process. can be effective only if constantly evolves with the society and mirrors its aspirations. This fact is of
vital significance in India, which is fast catching up with the world as technological advancement is revolutionizing the
content and process of its education. The challenge for educational facilities is to keep up with this evolution.
In an inter-connected and multi-ethnic environment like that of India. the challenge extends beyond technological
integration/ up gradation of the education system into addressing the innate contradictions that arise within
At present,S.P.A. operates from three locations. The planning dept. and the architecture dept. are housed in
different buildings in different plots. There are 11 distinct departments presently and all of them are flourishing units in
themselves possessing a wealth of knowledge and resources. They are supervised and run by the best and most
experienced faculty of the country. But physical segregation of the institution means that there is very little interaction
between the students and faculty of the various departments. The resource of the institute can not be utilized fully. In the
planning building itself , the location of the studios and the faculty areas is such that one does not get to know about other
studios on their way.Hence,inter-department interaction is minimal.

,the roof receives much more radiation
than the walls , thus horizontal shade is
enough , how ever in winters when the
position of the sun is lowered , vertical
louvers becomes necessary.
Humidity is low in dry periods at 20 to

to 55 to 95% with vapour pressure 2000
to 2500 N/sq.m High humidity causes
discomfort thus adequate ventilation is
required.

5. Cooling
Form evolution
SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE , VASANT KUNJ , DELHI
Northlights are ideal for galleries and
museums as well as schools, offices and
industrial facilities, where direct glare is
unwanted.
A cool roof is one that has been designed
to reflect more sunlight and absorb less
heat than a standard roof. Cool roofs can
be made of a highly reflective type of
paint, a sheet covering, or highly reflective
tiles or shingles.
Green roofs are ideal for urban buildings
with flat or shallow-pit roofs, and can
include anything from basic plant cover to
a garden. The primary reasons for using
this type of roof include managing storm
water and enjoying a rooftop open space.
A cool roof can benefit a building
and its occupants by:
• Reducing energy bills by
decreasing air conditioning
needs
• Improving indoor comfort for
spaces that are not air
conditioned, such as garages or
covered patios
• Decreasing roof temperature,
which may extend roof service
life.
Nano Liquid Ceramic Thermal Insulation
Coating ( LCTIC ) Thermal Barrier Paint
consists of microscopic hollow vacuum
ceramic balls suspended in a liquid
composition of synthetic rubber, acrylic
polymers and inorganic pigments.
This combination makes the
material light, flexible, elastic
which leads to high reflectance
And low conductance.
Daylighting
Daylighting is the practice of placing
windows, other openings, and reflective
surfaces so that sunlight (direct or indirect)
can provide effective internal lighting.
Particular attention is given to daylighting
while designing a building when the aim is to
maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy
use.
A light shelf is a horizontal surface that
reflects daylight deep into a building. Light
shelves are placed above eye-level and
have high-reflectance upper surfaces,
which reflect daylight onto the ceiling and
deeper into the space.
Cooling using low cost
terracotta jallies
The funnel shaped
moist jallies cool the
air passing through
and also act as a
shading device.
Architectural styles
Brutalist buildings are usually formed with repeated
modular elements forming masses representing
specific functional zones, distinctly articulated and
grouped together into a unified whole. Concrete is
used for its raw and unpretentious honesty,
contrasting dramatically with the highly
refined and ornamented
buildings
Contemporary architecture is the architecture of
the 21st century. No single style is dominant;
contemporary architects are working in a dozen
different styles, from postmodernism and high-tech
architecture

6. Skylights and solar power
Skylights are an ideal application for photovoltaic
glass. PV skylights also improve thermal inner
comfort, since most of the UV and infrared
radiation are filtered out by the Silicon-based
material (solar filter effect). n other words, PV
skylights combine active and passive properties
that improve the overall efficiency of the system.
Semi-transparent PV glass reduces the need for
artificial lighting, generates power, and provides
thermal and sound insulation. It also helps
delaying interior ageing.
Cooling system
A chilled beam is a type of convection HVAC
system designed to heat or cool large buildings.
Pipes of water are passed through a "beam" (a
heat exchanger) either integrated into standard
suspended ceiling systems or suspended a short
distance from the ceiling of a room.
An amphitheatre is
an open-air venue used
for entertainment,
performances, and
sports .
Level area of oval or circ
ular shape surrounded
by rising ground.
Anything that resembles a waterfall, especially in
seeming to flow or fall in abundance.
They improve micro climate and add a calming effect.
Using site natural material
Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor areas,
landmarks, and structures to achieve environmental, social-
behavioural, or aesthetic outcomes. It involves the
systematic investigation of existing social, ecological, and
soil conditions and processes in the landscape, and the
design of interventions that will produce the desired
outcome.
The site is rich in mica deposits.
The high thermal resistance allows
it to be used as an insulator thus
can be used in lining the roofs
against the southern sun.
The due to its glittery appearance
it can also be used to decorate
sculpture .
Interactive spaces
An amphitheatre is an open-air venue used for
entertainment, performances, and sports.
Building lover skin
The louvers can be adjusted at
many settings , which regulates
the light and wind inside the
building .
Landscaping
Presentation area
The site has two spaces
prone to water collection
during monsoons
therefore these spaces
can be used to form
water bodies .
Presentation form a major part of the curriculum of
architectural studies thus must be very consciously
designed accordingly .
The space can be transformed in accordance to the
requirements via use of rotatable partitions , when not in
use for presentations can be used as an multipurpose
space.
