5. HISTORY OF MUGHAL GARDENS
 Mughal gardens are a group of gardens built by
the Mughals in the Persian style of architecture.
 This style was heavily influenced by the Persian
gardens particularly the Charbagh structure.
 Significant use of rectilinear layouts are made within
the walled enclosures.
 Some of the typical features
include pools, fountains and canals inside the
gardens.

6. RASTRAPATHI BHAVAN-DELHI
 Sir Edwin Lutyens had finalized the designs of the Mughal Gardens as early as 1917.
 however, it was only during the year 1928-1929 that plantings were done.
 Rashtrapati Bhavan have two different styles of architecture, Indian and western.
 Two different horticulture traditions together for the gardens, the Mughal style and the English
flower garden.
 Mughal canals, terraces and flowering shrubs are beautifully blended with European flowerbeds,
and private hedges.

8. VINCENT CALLEBAUT - SUSTAINABLE MIXED-USE COMPLEX CAIRO
• Architects: Vincent Callebaut architecture
• Location: Nasr city, Cairo governorate, Egypt
• Category: mixed use architecture.
• Area :450000.0sqm
• Designed to obtain LEED Gold Plus standing
• Building features a solar roof, green terraces,
sky villas, and a vertical system of gardens and
solar heating tubes

9. PLAN FORM
 A central street, Boulevard, forms the spine
of the building. Apartment units are
arranged as U-shaped rectangular buildings
branching off the Boulevard.
 These U-shapes are softened by various
facade typologies, depending on function.
 Composed of 1000 apartment units, the
Gate Residence is also designed to include a
health club and spa, fitness centre, business
centre, restaurants and cafe, retail, and
medical centre.
Boulevard: wide streets in an city or town with
Trees on one side

10. ROOF STRUCTURE:
 The entire roof is conceived of as a community garden
with food gardens, infinity pools, and a sports area.
 The two plots of the complex are connected via sky
bridges.
 Aiming to limit its own carbon footprint, the building
recycles part of generated waste as grey water, while
system of mesh surface and second skin of white steel
and cables integrates photovoltaic cells, thermal
and vertical gardens.
 In effect, the roof surface curves down and inward to
transform into "Mega trees," allowing natural
ventilation throughout the levels and providing shade
and protection from sound.

11. VERTICAL GARDEN AND TERRACE GARDEN
• Green walls are used often
in environment to reduce
the temperature.
• This wall help in reuse of
water.
• Plants can purify the
pollutant water.(grey water)
• Vertical gardens help to
reduce the carbon footprint
of a building by filtering
pollutants and carbon
dioxide out of the air

12. WIND CATCHER
• Wind catcher is an traditional Egyptian architecture.
• Passive cooling during warm days
• Improves night cooling rates
• Enhanced performance of thermal mass (cooling ,cool
storage).
• Improves thermal comforts (improve airflow).

13. FACADES:
 The housing levels are surfaced by stacked layers of e-low glass
and polished white stone, punctuated by suspended garden
balconies, while the commercial levels have two different
facades.
