INTENT
A final year architectural project is supposed to be the culmination of learning
process of an architectural senses when our mind is at its creative and sensitive
best as everything that we learn during this phase of our life helps us gain a
practical perspective to the so called “Wild Imagination” of an aspiring architect.
Things that we might feel start thinking responsibly.
The so called difference talked about earlier refers to the final
mile stone of the academic journey which from my point view is rather a starting
point for the journey that the ending point.
We could rather say that standing at this junction we could analyze
and learn from the mistakes in the past and rectify them in order to start off the
journey called life for which we have been preparing all these years.
I too would like to take this opportunity to judge myself in
comparison to the years that have gone by and implement the knowledge gained
from the teachers, seniors and friends as this knowledge would in turn help me in
channelizing my career the way I would want it to be and see what would it be
that could contribute to the practical world from whatever I have learnt.
I understand that the solution cannot be achieved in one go as with
every stage. The work needs to be reviewed in order to check it for every possible
discrepancies which needs to be addressed then and there by surrounding it with
appropriate details and solutions and frankly speaking all this just doesn’t end
here.
It has a much stronger and deeper meaning as every individuals
highly responsible for shaping his own future but we as architect influence life of
others also to a certain extent.

INTRODUCTION OFARCHITECTURE
EDUCATION

The architectural profession is introduced to our society by the British rule in
1857 when the British raj was well established in India. During the rule the British
government in India started constructing buildings for the government purpose.
obviously for that , the British architects came to India to work for
their government. Important government building and impressive buildings for
English business companies were constructed in that period. Development of
cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, new Delhi and Chennai has taken place in that
period. the British architects and the engineers required trained assistants to work
with them to create a class of assistance, the British government started “school of
architecture” in 1880 in Mumbai, which at present, is known as Sir J.J.College of
architecture. This is probably the oldest school in Asia.
this British architects, who came for the government assignment,
later started their practice in India, in the city like Mumbai and new Delhi. They
worked for the European business houses, oil companies and Indian maharajas. In
this way the “architectural profession” was introduced to our country.
after independent, till almost 1950, a few of the Indian universities
has the courses in architecture. But the situation is different today. Almost all the
universities have this course and in almost all major cities there are college
imparting the education In architecture.
in 2011 there were 243 college of architecture in India now today
the round about 337 architecture college in India as per IIA 21 February 2014 and
still the demand is increasing due to the urbanization of the country.
ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION IN INDIA
PURPOSE OF EDUCATION
 education is about civilization and humanity. Through education we pass on a
ritual. It is a collective effort of generations which make possible advances in
art and science. It should be directed to the good of the society.
 Education is about the dignity of an individual. Through the process of
education we impart enthusiasm as much as we relate hard information. The
genuine exhilaration of learning forms the basis of the student teacher
relationship.
 Education is about entry into a learned community. It is the community which
continues t inspire us and provide us with a peer group.
 Education is process by which we can enhance our capabilities through
information. The freedom we gain through knowledge is an inner freedom.
WHAT IS AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE
 an educational institution is an ensemble of buildings, landscape, and
infrastructure used for education.
 It is traditionally the land on which a college or university and related
institutional buildings are situated. It includes libraries, lecture halls, residence
space and park-like settings.
 It is a physical expression of various functions such as academic,
administrative, and recreational.
 an educational institute indicates as area devoted to academic business
physically created by and environment of building and landscape to
accommodate efficiently and functionally the needs of inhabitants related to
that area.

• it should ideally be a quiet, comfortable oasis apart from the normally busy,
noisy congested world. More like a residential suburb of park rather than a city.
• Institution ought to be a closely knit, unified cluster of buildings with intimate
pedestrian open spaces providing a unique environment for living and studying.
• A good institutional building should provide area where student may
congregate informally for discussions and rest or where they can gather in large
number t watch or participate in sports and other physical activities.
• It encourages all kinds of interactions in student activity centers. It furnishes
place literary. Artistic, musical and dramatic occasions to culturally enrich the
university community as a whole.
OBJECTIVES OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES
• a campus should be a place where a student is confronted with realities of
living and working with other people in an environment that provides a wide
variety of conditions for the best kind of relationships.
• A campus should be a place where people can come from different part of city
to join in a particular place for seeking education.
• It should be a place where people can put their ideas suggestions, thoughts to
make a better future.
• A campus is a place where everyone learns how to behave with each other and
how to behave with surroundings.
• In a campus one as a student and other as a teacher can make a second family
other than his actual family.
• A campus should create a study environment for everyone who comes for
learning.
• A campus should include all the facilities for studying and other activities such
as sports, cultural activities, any types of functions, meeting and seminars.
• A campus should have residence for guests and visitor who temporarily want to
stay for the purpose of works.
• A campus should have a strong administrative staff to co-operate with each
other and lead the students to certain hope.
• A campus should be perfect form every aspects.
SELF INTERPRETATION OF AN INSTITUTE
• An institutional building is a manifestation of value and attitude. Hence there
should be maximum opportunities for communication and interaction.
• The building should be regarded as a community asset and an investment in the
quality of community life.
• The spaces in the school building should be flexible so that they can be adopted
to different uses at different times. It should be adept busy with a variety of
activities by different users which can happen at different times of the day.
• The building design itself should encourage the art of looking, listening and
responding spontaneously the building should speak a new language. Evolve a
new direction which a common man can understand.
• In the school building the students should find an example of competence,
innovation and inspirations.
• The building must be designed for adaptability, where informal teaching as well
as relaxation outside the classroom should be possible.
FACTORS OF A GOOD INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING

 the need for new educational approaches capable of dealing with holistic
problems in holistic context.
 The need for synthesizing knowledge and technology dealing with built
environment.
 The need to equip students with knowledge, skills and experience in order that
they may acquire.
 Confidence t design and build spaces that will last for several years.
 The need for post graduate programs to prepare students to be able to succeed
in the chosen .
 Tasks and to undertake line of study for acting as specialists, consultants or
researchers.
 the need for comprehensive learning system embracing formal and non-formal
education, sound practical training and experience for working with maximum
efficiency.
ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION GOALS
PRESENT STATUS OF ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION IN
INDIA
 Indian present pattern of education was basically shaped over 50 years ago in
the early forties and only partially evolved with time but in a hesitant and half
heartened manner the public perception of and architect In the forties and
fifties was not clear and h was thought to be someone who was called in to
dress up structures designed by engineers devoid of aesthetic values and
imagination.
 This perception gradually changed to viewing architects as creators of beautiful
buildings.
 The need of an architect was further strengthened with the emergence of varied
building complexes set in a scheduled time frame and financial and space
limits.
 The architectural education tended accordingly, to reflect a bias towards
building needs the education has by and large failed t adequately respond to the
fast changing needs of the country as a whole.
ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION GOALS
 Following are the main goals set for the training of an architects :
1) The need for the educational approaches capable of dealing with holistic
problems in holistic context.
2) The need of synthesizing knowledge and technology dealing with built
environments.
3) The need to equip students with knowledge, skills and experience In order that
they may acquire confidence to design and build spaces that will last for
several years.
4) The need for post graduate programs to prepare students to be able to succeed
in the chosen tasks and to undertake line of study for acting as specialists,
consultants or researchers.
5) The need for comprehensive learning system embracing formal and non
formal education, and sound training.

NEED OF VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT

SAHID AKHTAR
US N: 2MB10AT016
• As the county developing as whole there is need to establish innovative
architecture college so as to impart the education to the young architects of
upcoming generation so that they can dedicate themselves to create a better
living environment for our country.
• Architecture colleges are such institutions which keep alive the evident idea
of growth and development and equips mankind in creating a better future
for himself and the coming generations.
• The education imparted in such institutions not only contribute in the
development of and individual career but also helps in keeping them abreast
with their creative side.
• To promote such an atmosphere of growth not only of individual but of the
whole nation.
NEED OF THE ARCHITECTURE CAMPUS IN PRESENT
SCENARIO
 As I am an architecture student feel that the school where an architecture
student spends five most valuable years of their life the studying has a
directly influence on his career.
 Intelligence, creativity, sensitivity and a thorough knowledge of the arts and
science are essential for achieving distinguished architecture and the
institution plays a major role in providing the right kind of ambience to
achieve the better quality of architecture education.
 Thus after being an architecture student for 4th year I felt that there is a need
to prepare professionals with ethical standards based on genuine concern for
improving the quality of life of individuals and society.
 Thus there arises a need for international level architecture collage campus
by going vertically and to create urban sprawl in developing nation, where the
student can learn whole education of architecture and also it will serve as
permanent NASA VENUE (architectural icon) which held each and every
year zonal and international level.
 And NASA convention being the highlight event every year & bring student
and architect from various state of India and also from the SAARC countries
under on roof.
 the basic aim and need is to provide the student a platform for interaction ,
where student from various culture backgrounds would learn and share their
knowledge.
TO CREATE PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT

• Mumbai saw large scale rural-urban migration in the 21st century.
• Mumbai accommodates 12.5 million people, and is the largest metropolis by
population in India.
• Witnessing the fastest rate of urbanization in the world, as per 2011 census,
Delhi's population rose by 4.1%, Mumbai's by 3.1% and Kolkata's by 2% as
per 2011 census compared to 2001 census. Estimated population, at the
current rate of growth, by year 2015, Mumbai stands at 25 million.
URBANIZATION
• By calculating the rate of growth of population of the world (growing at the
rate of 1.4 percent (or 91 million people) per year), the future will not have
sufficient amount of land to cater to the growing needs of the people.
• The only solution then is to build a settlement deep inside the oceans or
vertically above the land.
• Using land for urban habitat is definitely a more sustainable idea. Also on an
average a person spends 2-4 hours traveling to and per day, that’s about
wasting more than 6 years per person in only commuting. Instead this time
can be used more creatively.
• Hence, constructing vertical-cities might be a solution. Architects from various
parts of the world believe that in order to make a city life more livable in the future,
we should combine – home, office, retail , education and recreational spaces into
one gigantic superstructure.
• So buildings in vertical scenario. This will help in reducing the concrete jungle
spread over larger piece of land.
NEED OF VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT
 The demand of the space grows and the availability of the land reduces as a
result the buildings go vertical to fulfill the rising demands.
 tall buildings cater to the need for increased workspace with a reduced
footprint, enhance a city’s image and prestige.
 It is due to change in social life of people and need of the society with regard
to built environment.
 We required more hoses, public building, hospital, institution and other
facility at the same time the availability of land reduce that is the result of
vertical growth to fulfill the needs.
 Today all the residence and commercial building going vertically as per the
land value increasing rapidly.
DEMAND OF MODERN ERA

• To reflect a bias towards buildings needs the education has by large failed to
adequately respond to the fast changing needs of the country.
• As a reference there are so many high rise building is being constructed as
residence, commercial and hospitals etc. but why bias towards the
institutional building as country is fast growing and developing in this
modern era.
• For the batter quality of education the standard of institution should be
maintained for the healthy environment of education.
BIAS TOWARD THE INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING
• there are so many architecture collage in India but there is no any such
“vertical architecture collage in India” which catering for international level
student in present scenario to have modern system for teaching or a modern
environment for study.
• Today it the basic need to initiate the study of architecture in innovative way.
• In India mostly architecture college having the linear planning or two or
three stories building.

• As per the standard quality of architecture concern there is lacking of the
professional environment to improvise the right kind of modern concept of
education with genuine concern.
• As whole nation is developing where need to create a modern environment
for the student of architecture to find out the modern solution to improve the
concern problem of the urban area.
• In urban sprawl there is need to improve the infrastructure quality of
institute building to established a modern Bharat.
• Urbanization being the cause of the vertical development and it will provide
better utilization of space and increase the efficiency of the country.
• Vertical development is the sign of the modern India and it allot the various
spaces in single built form.
• tall buildings cater to the need for increased workspace with a reduced
footprint, enhance a city’s image and prestige.
OVER ALL REVIEW
• NASA is the student body of association it was established in 13 September
1957 with the 7 college now it having including student over 196 colleges
from across the country.
• NASA is the non-profit & non political association registered under
society’s act 1860 vide no 24786. it provide a platform for students to
participate, learn & interact with students and architects across the SAARC
NATIONS & have an opportunity to interact with each other.
• It also deals with technical and non-technical trophies.
NATIONALASSOCIATION OF STUDENT OF
ARCHITECTURE (NASA)
 NASA is the national association of student of architecture which held
zonal level and annually every years.
 The convention held in different college.
 There is no special venue of NASA till now.
 it is need to established a venue of NASA to fulfill the all requirement and
provide a forum for the discus the various architectural issue and exchange
of thoughts and idea by budding architects across the India.
 And it has been observed also where ever the NASA has been conducted,
have faced a lot’s of problems & scarcity.
 It will affect also whole educational environments of the campus

 My area of interest particularly to the art of creating and shaping cities and
towns in the form of high-rise design.
 As per the mobility of the high rise has started it partly covering the whole
nation While Mumbai and India are still welcoming the skyscraper culture,
the developed world has gone a step ahead and is planning to build vertical
cities.
 A vertical city is a city within a city, with complete residential, commercial
units and educational as well as gardens and small trams, all within the
structure itself!
 Currently, skylines are dominated by concrete, glass and steel and are mostly
commercial or residential. But a vertical city provides millions of inhabitants
all the urban facilities under one roof.
 Young architects, city-planners and designers are looking for new ways to
build science fiction into a revolutionary vision of the future.
 while considering these all issue to design a vertical architecture campus to
mobilize and develop the infrastructure of institutional building as
designing city is a city within a city.
HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS
DO WE REALLY NEED VERTICAL DEVELOPMENTS ?
By calculating the rate of growth of population of the world (growing at the rate
of 1.4 percent (or 91 million people) per year), the future will not have sufficient
amount of land to cater to the growing needs of the people.
• The only solution then is to build a settlement deep inside the oceans or
vertically above the land. Using land for urban habitat is definitely a more
sustainable idea.
• Also on an average a person spends 2-4 hours traveling too and from per
day, that’s about wasting more than 6 years per person in only commuting.
• Instead this time can be used more creatively. Hence, constructing Vertical
development might be a solution.

 Architects from various parts of the world believe that in order to make a
city life more livable in the future, we should combine – home, office, retail,
institutional and recreational spaces into one gigantic superstructure.
 So buildings in vertical scenario will simultaneously act as a residential
sector providing all the amenities, such as public space.
 They will act as an interactive transmitter and receiver for communication,
information and media exchange. This will help in reducing the concrete
jungle spread over larger piece of land.
TO MAKE THE CITY LIFE MORE LIVABLE
Basically area of interest is in the vertical architecture collage campus design to
make environment more sustained by going vertically and with interplay of the
modern techknowldgy to develop the efficiency of the country
bringing the innovative concept of the vertical campus to develop
the quality of educational infrastructure to promote the life of individual and
society with the paramount design.
CONCLUSION
So can we physically build perpendicular urban environments?
Would they be safe or result in a death trap in the sky?
Some structural engineers define a high-rise as any vertical construction for which
wind is a more significant load factor than weight. While designing a tall building
like a tower or a sky-scraper, various questions arise like,
how would you build it?
What are the obstacles you would face?
What materials would you use? And where would you place it?
PROJECT QUESTIONS
• Tall buildings require a large base to support their load and keep them stable.
• In general, the height of a building should be six times its base, so, for a
skyscraper 900-m tall, you’d need a base of 150 square m.
• Tall buildings must stand on firm ground, hence soil analysis is especially
critical in facing the threat of natural disasters like earthquakes.
• The next obstacle in erecting a super skyscraper is wind.
PROJECT ANSWER
12

SAHID AKHTAR
US N: 2MB10AT016
• Tall buildings actually sway in the breeze, in much the same way that a
diving board bends under the weight of a diver.
• The real challenge is keeping the structure so stiff that it doesn’t swing too
far, cracking partitions, shattering windows and making the upper occupants
seasick. As a rule, the top of skyscraper should never drift more than 1/400th
of its height at a wind velocity of 150 km/h.
• If in a skyscraper, a person hears the wind moaning and whistling by the
elevator – that’s stack effect.
• In any tall building, the difference in temperature and air pressure between
the outside and inside the structure pushes air up the stairwells and elevators,
like smoke up a chimney. Strong, cold drafts blowing up the building create
heating problems and make it difficult to open doors into stairwells.
• To control stack effect, buildings must be as airtight as possible, with
ventilation ducts extending only part way up the building, and revolving
doors at ground level. The one invention that, above all, has enabled
buildings to climb higher is the elevator.

Institutional planning is art of design that resonates with the meaning and
significance for the functional requirement f the valves each community places on
education, functionally, the building acts as a stage for learning, either supporting
or limiting the activities of teaching and learning.
so the spatial organization f the institutional activities and rooms
of the buildings should reflect the philosophy of the teaching program and the
program needs of the institution. Educational institutions are intimately affected
by changes occurring in the society within which they are embedded. Campus
planning concepts are mostly determined by the program and functional
relationships of the campus itself.
some may relate to the unusual site conditions. The site
discussions and location decisions are of paramount importance and should be
guided by rigorous examination of the terrain and location. Land available, site
configurations and campus design feature, microclimate, access, topography,
infrastructures, the nature of the surrounds these area influential on unique
circulation requirements institutional planning actually is a meaningful
relationship between a large group of building like the administrative, academic,
library, hall etc.
different concepts should be work out planning the blocks,
residential units, sports field, common facilities, pedestal
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE PLANNING AND DESIGNING
OFAND INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING
Any design has its peculiar characteristics defined by the function of the building
and other factors. Before designing of the building following factors should be
considered.
NATURE OF THE SITE
it is the major factor that influences the design of the building. It is the base where
the design stand and the design should not scar the natural form of the land. If the
site is a contoured land then design should be along the slope of the site to
minimize the scare in the eland form and to reflect the real condition of the site.
Nature of the site includes the topography, soil, conditions, orientations, existing
geographical feature ( hills, ponds, rivers etc.) and specific geographic conditions
arising out of the physical location of the site influence the final form of the
design.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE
Institutional building all do not demand the same type of the environment.
According to the type of the education the environment and the building may
differ. There is the vast difference between the primary school and the campus
design. So the design of the institution is also highly affected by the educational
objective. Like in the design college where the creativity of the students should be
encouraged, study would not only be limited to the classroom.
classroom should be swing out into corridors regardless of the size
of the room. Covered walkway to accommodate inter building traffic should be
designed to protect students and bot for appearance alone.
20

US N: 2MB10AT016
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE PLANNING AND DESIGNING
OFAND INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING
large corridor should be developed which can also be used as the
gallery of the observation and also can be used during the exhibition. In these
colleges, exhibitions are organized frequently to convey the advantages of their
design to the peoples who actually are the users of the design.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
It is quite obvious that the building should totally respond to its functional
requirement because building is not only sculpture but are the functional space
where people perform various functions. In institution building, function should be
prioritized for the design as the building is regularly used by the students and the
teachers for the study.
it should be functional enough so that the student can study in easy
and comfortable spaces. Different types of the function demand a particular set of
the built forms which should be fulfilled in the design to provide the comfortable
environment in the building. The building should be zoned to allow appropriate
access to public areas without disturbing the academic areas within the facility.
circulation space should be planned to allow gathering spaces for
group of varying size t promote social interaction among students. Lecture rooms
should also be designed with all the necessary equipment all in ready position.
FIVE CONCEPT OF TEACHING ARCHITECTURE
STIMULATION – BASED LEARNING BY DOING :
this architecture aims to have students learn every possible skill though learning
by doing . Because the doing of the task is what prepares the student for real life,
its is important that the student be able to actively engage in such tasks.
Simulations of all kinds can be built.
but the designer must understand the situation well enough that the
simulations will be accurate portrayals. The is can mean, in the case of simulations
of people to people interaction have to create compels models of human
institutions and human planning and emotional behavior. The simulating based
learning by doing architecture is critical when the subject matter to be learned is
experiential at heart. Much of natural learning is the accumulating of experience.
INCIDENTAL LEARNING :
Obviously not everything is fun to learn. In fact some things are terribly boring t
learn but people do habitually learn a variety of information that is quite dull
without being completely bored by it often they do this by picking up the
information in passing without intending t learn the information at all.
the incidental learning architecture is based on the creation of
tasks whose end results are inherently interesting and which can be used t impart
dull information. We have built programs that impart incidental information while
engaging the user n a fun and interesting task.
LEARNING BY REFLECTION :
Sometimes a student doesn’t need to be told something but rather needs to know
how to ask about it. It could be that the student has a vague plan he wishes to mull
over or perhaps the student has a problem and needs to figure out a way to
approach it or may be the student has finished a project and wishes t think back on
how he could have done it better.
21

in such case a teacher’s job is to open the student’s eyes to new
ways of thinking about his situation to help the student articulate the situation and
generate ways of moving forward. The teacher’s job is to muse with the student.
CASE BASED TEACHING :
This architecture depends upon the these ideas experts are repositories of cases,
and good teachers are good storytellers. The task of this architecture is to tell
students exactly what they need to know when they need to know it.
when students are learning by doing they experience knowledge
failures, times when they realize that they need new information n order to
progress. Such are the times when case based teaching can provide the
acknowledge than students need. Because isolated facts are difficult for students to
integrate into their memories, useful knowledge is typically best presented in the
form of stories.
LEARNING BY EXPLORING :
The previous architectures deal with the difficult problems of getting students
involved in their own learning and letting them learn though preforming tasks that
they care abut. As we have pointed out when students get involve they naturally
generate questions and they are ready to learn from these questions. And important
method of teaching is to answer a student's question at the he generates them vary
on a conversation with him, answering whatever follow up
questions he generates. The learning by exploring architecture is intended to
provide such answers in a conversational format.

POPULATION GROWTH OF CITY 1991 TO 2011
URBANIZATION OF MUMBAI AND IMPACT
• Mumbai has urbanized over the past 60 years and urbanized rapidly from its
origins as a fishing village.
• It had access to sea on two sides and the British colonial administration in
India developed the sheltered inlet into a major port.
• The British viewed the port and surroundings as the "gateway to India”.
This made it the closest port of entry to subcontinent for travelers from
Europe, through the Suez canal.
• The city grew during British rule as variety of services grew up around the
port and continued to grow after British left in 1947.
• The causes of urbanization are multiple, but involve a high level of natural
increase within Mumbai itself and in-migration principally from the
surrounding district of Maharashtra but also from neighboring states.
• Mumbai booming economy means that migrants come for job opportunities
in the expanding industries, financial institutions and administration.

• The history of Mumbai recounts the growth of a collection of seven islands
on the west coast of India.
• becoming the commercial capital of the nation, and one of the most populous
cities in the world.
• The Maurya Empire gained control of the islands during the 3rd century
BCE.
• Later, between the 2nd century BCE and 9th century CE, the islands came
under the control of successive indigenous dynasties: Satavahanas, Abhiras,
Vakatakas, Kalachuris, Konkan Mauryas, Chalukyas and Rashtrakutas,
before being ruled by the Silharas from 810 to 1260.
• King Bhimdev established his kingdom in the region in the late 13th century,
and brought many settlers to the islands.
• The Muslim rulers of Gujarat captured the islands in 1348, and they were
later governed by the Gujarat Sultanate from 1391 to 1534.
• The islands suffered incursions from Mughals towards the end of the 17th
century.
• During the mid-18th century, the city emerged as an important trading town,
with maritime trade contacts with Mecca and Basra.
• educational development characterized the city during the 19th century.
• The city became a strong base for the Indian independence movement during
the early 20th century.
• and was the epicenter of the Rowlatt Satyagraha of 1919 and Royal Indian
Navy Mutiny of 1946. After India's independence in 1947, the territory of
Mumbai Presidency retained by India was restructured into Mumbai State.
• The city was renamed Mumbai in 6 March 1996.
HISTORY OF MAHARASHTRA
PEOPLE AND CULTURE OF THE CITY
• The influence of Mumbai can be seen in the people of Maharashtra which is
the international metropolitan city .
• In spite of being modern and updated with fashion, the people of
Maharashtra are still deeply rooted to its traditions.
• The traditions and culture of Maharashtra is rich and the people of the state
follow a very simple lifestyle and they always feel that only hard-work will
give them success.
• Hindus are in majority in Maharashtra while Muslims, paresis, Jews,
Buddhists and Jains are the minority religious groups.
• The folk women of Maharashtra can be seen wearing the traditional sari that
is known as nauvari, meaning nine yard. This sari has its own history, dhoti
or trousers are usually worn by the men of Maharashtra.

• The traditions and culture of Maharashtra is rich and one can get a clear picture
of the lifestyle of the maharashtrians during the festival times. During joyous
times, people from all communities, cast or religion celebrate together and it
becomes difficult to differentiate between them.
• Important festivals of Maharashtra are Diwali, Ganesh chaturthi, gudhi padwa,
dasara, nag panchami, gokul ashtmi, narali pournima, pola, makar sankranti,
banganga festival and holi etc. The muslim communities celebrate the festivals
like eid and moharram.
MAIN ATTRACTION OF CITY ARCHITECTURE CHARACTER OF
CITY
• The architecture of Mumbai blends
gothic, Victorian, art deco, indo-
saracenic and contemporary
architectural styles.
• Gothic and Victorian architecture :
Bombay architecture came to be
present through the British in the 18th
and early 19th centuries. At first it was
the neo-classical style of architecture,
but then a new style came to exist, one
that reflected modern European
fashions: gothic architecture.
• Gothic building only served as
churches, as religious buildings built
by people of the 11th century.
• This style, the blend of gothic and
contemporary styles, is what came to
be known as “Bombay gothic.
• As the wealthiest city in India, and has
seen a large number of modern high-
rise office buildings and flats spring up
in recent decades. In many parts of the
city, particularly the newer suburbs,
modern buildings dominate the
landscape away from the old part of
the city. Mumbai has by far the largest
number of skyscrapers in India”

BUILDING FOR DISABLE PERSON
An environment for disable people needs to be designed to accommodate
wheelchairs and allow sufficient space for moving around in safely.
In the rented residential sector, access via
corridor is the most common layout. This
enables large numbers of angles and corners
to be avoided, a straight main corridor is
preferable. The entrance area should be of an
appropriate size. The minimum area of
entrances hall is 1.50x1.50m & 1.70x1.60m
for a porch with a single leaf door. Single
disabled people need more space than those
in shared households. In apartments
recommended minimum areas for living
rooms with dinning area are 22 sq.m for one
person and 24sq/m for two to four people, 26
sq.m for five and 28 sq.m for six, the
minimum room width is 3.75m for one or two
person and for 4.75m four or 5 person who
are disabled.

BASIC HUMAN DIMENSION
The type of college depends on regional and local factors, sot that it is not really
possible to give absolute sizes for systems. The figures cover both part time and
full time students, as an approximate guidelines, depending on the area served, at
least 10 sqm.m of site per part time student and 25 sq.m per full time student
should be provided. Ensure a good shaped site and the possibility of extension.
Arrangement on the site, type of construction and building design depends on the
sizes of the spaces that can be accommodated on several levels ( classrooms for
general subjects, specialist subjects, administration ) and those which can not –
areas of non- academic work like workshops or sports areas. College buildings area
as a rule 2-3 storey, higher only in exceptional cases, workshop buildings with
heavy machines or frequent deliveries are single storey,
Access : entrance area and foyer with central facilities used as circulation space
connecting horizontal and vertical movement as in general school centers or
comprehensive schools, teaching areas area divided according to the type so
teaching and their space requirements, general purpose teaching areas occupy 10-
20% of space.
General classrooms – 50 to 60 sq.m
Small classrooms – 45 to 50 sq.m
Oversize classrooms – 85 sq.m
Building requirements. Furnishings and fittings basically the same for general
school centers and comprehensive schools.
THE LECTURE HALLS
Major factors to be considered in designing a lecture room are the following:
Seating are writing surfaces
Space and furnishings for the lecture
The use of wall space, including chalk boards, screens, size and location of windows
etc.
Facilities for projection and television
Coat racks, storage, and other conveniences
Acoustic and lighting
Heating and air conditioning
Aesthetic considerations
Space for keeping drafting material
Space for keeping bags
Space for circulation
66

US N: 2MB10AT016
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
As we have different subjects for teaching their spaces and requirements for that is
also different. Such as theoretical and practical subject with their workshops are
ma be separate or joined or they are bigger than the actual size of classrooms for
theoretical subjects and the reason is due to need of space for work and circulation
in practical time.
TYPICAL ZONING FOR TECHNICAL COLLEGE
• Total area of 25 sq.m per full time student
• Total area of 10 sq.m per part time student
• College buildings as per rules 2-3 storey high in exceptional cases.
• Workshop building are only single

BRIEF ON LAYOUT OF VERTICAL COLLEGES
• To locate the most public, highest occupancy spaces on the lowers floor.
• And the most private, lower occupancy spaces on the upper floors.
• Limiting most of the general classroom spaces to the ground floor.
• Plus two to three floors, allows stairs to be the primary mode for moving the
largest number of people in the building.
• Placing the faculty office suites in the higher floors of the building to makes
those floors less populated.
• Mid occupancy functions to be located on the middle floors including libraries
or learning centers, laboratories and more subject specific teaching spaces.
• The ground floor should be consider for those functions that need street access
as well as those that required high occupancy.
SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
• Seating in lecture theatres can be combined units of tip-up or swing seats.
Backrest and writing ledge (with shelf or hook for folders), usually fixed.
(1) & (3)
• Seating arrangement depending on subject, number of students and teaching
method:
• Slide lectures, electro- acoustic systems on a gentle rake, surgery, internal
medicine, physics on a steep rake, view curve calculated using graphic or
analytic methods (4) – (5).
LECTURE HALL’S OBJECTIVES
Lecture halls are a places of social ad personal interaction, where learning takes place
and where creative thinking is encouraged. The primary objective of the design team
is to achieve the best possible arrangement of architectural elements and teaching
facilities so that both teaching and learning is maximized. Design of lecture theaters
and teaching spaces requires a balanced relationship bet. Architectural/construction
skills and teaching/AV disciplines. The objective of the design team should be to
optimize t function of space, by clearly identifying all performance requirements and
allowing for these needs in the design stage, ancillary support spaces (i.e. lobbies,
68

SAHID AKHTAR
US N: 2MB10AT016
LECTURE HALL’S OBJECTIVES
Lecture halls) should be serviced by the primary telecommunication distribution
system/infrastructure in the building. Lecture halls require the greatest design input
and in which is usually found the greatest complement of audiovisual facilities.
Lecture halls area generally single function spaces with fixed seating and writing
furniture on a tiered or sloping floor surface. Each seat should have a clear
unobstructed view to the lecture and all boards and screens located on the
presentation wall. Natural lighting is not desirable in lecture halls.
DRAWING STUDIO
Various space requirement for technical subjects including Architecture and Art
Academics.
Basic Requirements :
Drawing table of dimensions suitable for A0 size (92cm x 127cm) fixed or adjustable
board. Drawing cabinet for storing drawings flat of the same heights as drawing table,
surface can also be used to put things on. A small cupboard on castors for drawing
materials, possibly with filling cabinet is desirable, adjustable height swivel chair on
castors, drawing tables, upright board, adjustable height or usable as flat boards when
folded down, each workplace should have a locker.
Drawing Studio :
each space requires 3.5-4.5 sq.m, depending on the size of drawing table. Natural
light is preferable and so a north tight facing studio is best to receive even daylight.
For right handed artificial light should be at 5001x with 1000lx (from mounted
drawing lamps hung in variable positions above the long axis of the table) at the
drawing surface.
Room For Life Drawing, Painting And Modeling :
Accommodated if possible in the attic facing north with large windows and additional
top lights.
Rooms For Sculptors And Potters :
Large space for technical equipment such as potters wheels, kilns and pieces of work,
also storeroom, plaster room, damp room, etc.

DRAWING STUDIO
COMPUTER LAB
Sizes for the desk and chairs in computer lab. The eye distance from computer to
human eye and other necessary precautions during drafting and design.
OFFICE SPACES
Thumb Rules For Planning The Office Spaces :
Width of the primary circulation path within the space must not be less than 2m, the
secondary and tertiary path must not be less than 1.5m and 0.7m respectively.
The planning and the layout must satisfy a particular functional nee, such as
screaming, divisions (partitions) stacking or storage etc. furniture arrangement must
be such that people at their work station must have clear visibility and adequate space
around their desk.

SPACE FOR FURNITURE IN OFFICE
LIBRARY
Libraries perform a range of functions in society, academic libraries, for
example, obtain, collect and store literature for education and research
purposes, and are usually open to the general public. Public libraries provide
communities with a wide choice of more general literature and other
information media, with as much as possible displayed on open shelves. The
functions of academic and public libraries are often combined in a single library
in larger towns.

LIFT AND ESCALATOR
• The building and its function dictate the basic type of lifts and escalator which
need to be provided. They serve as a means of vertical transport for passengers and
patients.
• Lifts and escalator are mechanical installations which are required to have a long
service life ( anything form 25 to 40 years ).
85

PARKING
• The type, size and shape of a turning place in a road depends on the road use in
that particular area.
• Parking spaces are usually outlined by 12-20 mm wide yellow or white painted
lines, when parking is facing a wall, these lines are often painted at a height of up
to 1m for better visibility.
• Guide rails in the floor along the side have also proved popular for demarcation of
parking limits, and can be about 50-60 cm long, 20cm wide and 10 cm high, where
vehicles are parked in lines facing walls or at the edge of the parking deck in
multistory car park.
