2. RESILIENT ARCHITECTURE OF KASHMIR
Kashmiri traditional Architecture has a unique
design of building involving wood, mud and
bricks .
The architecture of the Kashmir region is
dependant on its geography.
We need to keep the different things in mind
while we built structures here, particularly
climatic conditions in Kashmir demand a
different kind of architecture style. ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF KASHMIR
•White marble and red sandstone was favored.
•Semi-precious gemstones were popular (jade,
crystal, etc.)
LANDSCAPE • Used arches sparingly.
GARDENING
• Symmetry and balance stressed.
• Used octagons a lot.
•Landscape gardening.
Open spaces and signature streets As they are characteristic of the campus

3. DESIGN CONCEPT
Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Medical College Hospital at
Bemina ,Srinagar, Kashmir campus is home to an eclectic collection of high profile
buildings scattered across a 43-acre urban campus.
The distinctiveness of its iconic buildings and attractions – the Space Needle, Key
Arena, – is fundamental to the architectural character of the campus
There is also great cohesion across the campus with a network of landscaped
plazas and open spaces.
These stand out as elements of uniqueness.
These design guidelines encourage design excellence in architectural concepts and
execution of both foreground and background buildings.

5. CLIMATIC FEATURES FOR RESPONSIVE BUILDING DESIGNS :-
Srinagar has a HUMID
SUBTROPICAL CLIMATE with a
climate much cooler than what is
found in much of the rest of India,
due to its moderately high elevation
and northerly position. The valley is
surrounded by Himalayas on all
sides. Winters are cool, with a
January daily mean of 10.0 °C
(50.0 °F), and temperature remains
below freezing at night. Moderate to
heavy snowfall is expected in winters
and the only road that connects
Srinagar with the rest of India may
get blocked a few days due to
avalanche. Summers are warm with
a July daily mean of 30.1 °C
(86.2 °F). The average annual
rainfall is around . Spring is the
wettest season while autumn is the
driest.
Highest temperature: 37 °C (99 °F);
lowest −14 °C (7 °F)

6. HOSPITAL DESIGN (BUILT FOR FUTURE)
An hospital design scheme that places both patients and the
environment at the heart of the project, and brings the hospital into
the city or townscape. The category is divided into two Awards,
projects planned and not yet built, and projects built and operational.
Entries must provide clear information to highlight that the project
meets the following criteria:
 Strategy: Creates a sense of civic pride by bringing the hospital
into the city or townscape through strategic master-planning.
 Place making: Creates an inspirational sense of place and a
therapeutic environment for patients and visitors both inside and
outside the building.
 Innovation: Demonstrates innovation in the model of care and
provides an effective staff working environment to support a sense of
belonging.
 Adaptability: Provides flexibility and adaptability to meet changing
service needs.
 Sustainability: Demonstrates a vision for investment that responds
to social, economic and environmental issues.

ELEMENTS OF CONTINUITY
• The elements of continuity on the campus
begin with the interior streets with mature tree
canopies and extend to the open spaces.
• The campus is the “sum of its parts” and is
both eclectic and cohesive

12. LOCAL AVAILABLE MATERIALS
The first factor influencing the development of vernacular construction practices is
related to the availability of local building materials. In many areas, the locally available
resources have governed the use of the following constituent materials for walls:
• Αdobe (mud blocks or whole walls)
• Μasonry (stone, clay, or concrete blocks)
• Τimber
Building Layout
Another determining factor is the building layout, that is, the typical shape of a building
plan, usually related to many cultural, historical, and urban planning traditions. Three
main plan shapes have been identified in traditional buildings:
• Circular plan
• Rectangular plan
• Linear plan (row houses or wagon-houses in Romania)
The circular floor plan offers the best resistance to earthquake forces.
Building Size
The third and final aspect relates to the size of a building. Based on their size, these
buildings can be classified as:
• Single story
• Μultistory buildings

13. GREEN BUILDINGS- ENERGY PERSPECTIVE
GREEN BUILDINGS WILL ALLOW OWNERS, TO SIGNIFICANTLY SAVE ON
ELECTRICITY AND WATER, EVEN GENERATE LESS WASTE.
SUGGESTED ENERGY SAVING METHODS ARE –
6.1 Use structural insulated panels for floors , walls and roofs
6.2 Apply water heater jacket
6.3 Insulate hot water pipes
6.4 Convert gas to tank less heaters
6.5 Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL)‫‏‬
6.6 Install lighting controls
6.7 Install high efficiency ceiling fans with CFLs
6.8 Install house hold appliances with EPA energy star label
6.9 Install floor installations over crawl space
6.10 Install Energy efficient windows
6.11 Ensure proper roof insulation and venting
6.12 Use duct mastic on all duct joints
6.13 Consider installing solar water heating system
6.14 Consider installing photo voltaic system

15. CONCEPT :- SUSTAINABLE SITE PLANNING
 NORTH – SOUTH ORIENTATION.
COURTYARD CONCEPT
Acts as a micro climate generator and thereby reduces energy consumption.
A Landscape element
LANDSCAPE AREAS MAXIMISED
The main concern is the physical Articulation of space, the solids and voids, the negative and the
positive. In addition, we try to include the effects of light, surface, shape and form.
OPTIMISED BUILDING DEPTH
To harvest maximum daylight.
SERVICE CORES ON HOT EAST – WEST ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Minimize surface area-to-volume ratio. HIGH LEVELS OF INSULATION
EFFICIENT HEATING OF AIR & WATER

16. HOSTELS
Reinforce Hostel , with new
buildings and activities pulled to the
sidewalk (this will make the plaza
space more distinct in contrast).

LOCATION PLAN
RELATIONSHIP OF BUILDING AND OPEN
SPACE
Provide physical and visual connections between
ground level interior uses and adjacent exterior
routes and spaces where appropriate.
KEY PLAN
Open up the connection of the Amphitheater space to the
east, allowing increased visibility for SKIMS and a more
integrated amphitheater space.

18. TRAUMA BLOCK
FUNCTIONALITY is a key component in
integrating architecture and the
environment. that maintain an appropriate
balance between optimum interior
conditions and environmental
performance by reacting in a controlled
and holistic manner to changes in external
or internal conditions and to occupant
intervention

19. SITE FURNISHINGS
SEATING AND BENCHES
Comfort is important to Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Medical College
Hospital at Bemina ,Srinagar, Kashmir campus visitors, and a variety of places to sit should be
offered throughout the campus. Where part of the signature streets or open spaces, seating
should be an element of continuity on campus, with a common attitude toward color, and aiming
toward consistency over time.
Freestanding benches have
been acquired over the
years; matching the colors
would help them serve as
elements of continuity.
STADIA IN MID OF CAMPUS
Benches enhance
design concepts,
emphasizing
ground lines or
placed as objects
in a space.
Integrating benches into
landscape and building edge
conditions is encouraged.

20. CONCLUSION
The drive to “go green” is undoubtedly welcome as the problems of water shortage,
energy crisis and climate change are seemingly here to stay. Also the green
concept has to be developed for local context so that they can be still be applied
within the local and financial needs.
