36. Thoughts on Architecture
1. The phases of modern architecture developing in India have taken our buildings from colonial
influences to corporate influences.
2. The very discipline of architecture is a colonial inheritance in India in which the architect is
regarded as something of a superman who knows the needs of people for whose good he
designs.
3. A dynamic interaction is achieved by the cycling of the INFORMATION EVALUATION and
DESIGN activities throughout the entire process.

37. Projects:-
1. School for Spastic Children
2. Dental College, Jamia Milia Islamia, New Delhi
3. Castro Café, Jamia Milia Islamia, New Delhi
4. M.F. Hussain Art Gallery, JMI, New Delhi

38. School for Spastic Children
The first custom-design school for
physically challenged children was
initiated by funds made available
from the British government which
supported a local NGO. The school
is designed for 500 handicapped
children and provides not only
specialized facilities and training, but
also courses for the parents of
handicapped children. The school
also acts as a center for field work to
be carried out in rural areas in North
India.

39. SITE PLAN

42. CONCEPT
1. Attention was also paid to the students’ conveniences with
every two classrooms having an adjacent toilet.
2. With specially designed ramps and natural light
penetrating into the building, the architect not only
provided for a comfort zone for the children but also
expressed his love of iconography in a poetic manner.
3. While developing his design,Khosla also visualised a ship
with many decks; the numerous balconies in the building
came out of this idea.

43. He deliberately did not set aside any
spaces for a specific function and
sought a building where movement
was easy and space expansive.

44. DENTAL COLLEGE, JAMIA MILIA ISLAMIA,
NEW DELHI
Location: New Delhi, Delhi, India
Project Work Status: Completed Projects
Area: 11,696 Sqm
Client: Jamia Milia Islamia University
Team: Maulik Bansal, Ram Pandarathil Nair,
Megha Shah

45. SITE
The site given for the building
was a neglected and overgrown
part of the campus. It had two
levels and both the levels were
used to access the building for
the public and students.
FLOOR PLAN

46. CONCEPT:-
• There is something special about teaching hospitals that make them different from other institutions. The
Dental College of Jamia had these characteristics. It serves to provide dental care to the people in surrounding
areas and is also one of the primary teaching centres of Dentistry in India. So at one end the users are the
common public and at the other end the users are the medical students.
• The College was therefore a place where three users interacted with each other. The common public, the
doctors who treated and taught and thirdly the students who learned and practiced.
• The building was conceived by the architects Romi Khosla and Martand Khosla to be a contemporary building
without references to the historical burden of architecture from which much of the Jamia buildings suffer. Like
their Castro Cafeteria and M.F. Hussain Art Gallery on the Jamia University Campus, the architects have sought
to provide the image of Jamia with a modern state of the Art Campus .
• The programme was therefore conceived as a series of capsules which were designed to act as nodes for the
three users.

47. PLANNING:-
•The facilities have been arranged in a rectilinear planform that encloses two large
courtyards and has a certain formality to it.
•It was a design judgement to simplify the formal layout of the building in order to contain
the enormous volumes of spaces in a simple form that would be easily readable byall
three categories of users.
•Adental college is a very complex institution in which the users have to keep moving
from one part to another. Combine this with the special use requirements of the students,
their canteen, the teaching staff, the reference library etc; it was imperative to simplify the
plan form of the building to make it readable to the constant stream of new first users who
would keep flowing into thebuilding.
•In order to further reduce energy consumption, the treatment clinics have been provided
with full 80%north side glazing that allows ample daylight to flood the clinics. This
helps the treatment during power cutsand natural light spaces ensure a higher level of
cleanliness.

48. ELEVATION
• Each façade of the building is treated as a canvas for artistic
composition. The fenestration has beendesigned to have twin
functions. On the north faces of the building, where the clinics
have been located, the structural curtain wall glazing provides
enormous daylight for dental treatment. So instead of the dentist
twisting and turning angle poise lamps into the patient face and
dreading a power cut, the doctor can rely on daylight to illuminate
the patient’s condition. On the south side, the glazing has been
confined to narrowslits which run horizontally and protect the
south of the building in the clinic areas from heat gain. These
staggered fenestrations also break the scale and the thin strips of
windows help in exaggerating the horizontality of the structure

49. MATERIALS
WALLS:
Brick walls with ACP & Stone Cladding. Curtain wall glazing
on the North façade & Glass brick in filled in steel frame for
corridors
FLOOR:
Kota stone is the hardest locally available stone. Its slabs have
been used for flooring, skirting,dado, risers of steps etc.
keeping in view the high expected usability of thebuilding.
STRUCTURE:
Steel & RCC composite structure
