1) The document proposes a design for an Applied Arts Crafts and Design Campus inspired by the works of architect Charles Correa. 2) It will incorporate Correa's approach of blending modernism with traditional Indian architecture through stepped platforms, outdoor classrooms, and connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. 3) The design aims to make education feel sacred through its organization of academic blocks at the highest level, with recreational areas below, evoking traditional Indian concepts.

5. CHARLES CORREA
DESIGN APPROACH: HE FOCUSED IN CREATING A BUILDING WELL-
SUITED TO THE NEEDS OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY WHILE MAKING
USE OF FAMILIAR ARCHITECTURAL MOTIFS, CORREA MANAGES TO
RECONCILE MODERNITY WITH TRADITION; A SIGNIFICANT STEP
TOWARDS HIS GOAL OF ESTABLISHING A DISTINCTLY INDIAN
MODERNISM.

7. THE SITE IS GENTLY SLOPING OVERLOOKING THE LAKE. THE NATURAL
CONTOUR OF THE SITE IS TO BE USED TO CREATE STEPPED PLATFORMS WITH
RESIDENTIAL, RECREATIONAL AND ACADEMIC ZONES IN DIFFERENT LEVEL
WHICH WILL SEGREGATE THE ZONES WHILE NATURALLY IMPLYING SANCTITY
TOWARDS THE PLACE OF LEARNING (ACADEMIC ZONE)
ADAVANTAGE: THE WIND FLOWS FROM NORTH-EAST TO SOUTH-WEST. BY
ACHIEVING STEPPED GROUND LEVEL, THE SPACES WILL ENTIRELY UTILISE THE
NATURAL WIND WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTION.
THE ACADEMIC BLOCK WILL NATURALLY SHADE OVER THE INTERMEDIATE
RECREATIONAL ZONE THEREBY PROTECTING THE STUDENTS FROM
SCORCHING SUN DURING THE DAY.

8. INSPIRED FROM THE 1982 MULTI ARTS CENTRE BHARAT BHAVAN IN
BHOPAL, MADHYA PRADESH BY AR. CHARLES CORREA. BHARAT
BHAVAN COVERS A VARIETY OF ART FORMS INCLUDING TRIBAL ART,
A LIBRARY OF INDIAN POETRY, GALLERY OF CONTEMPORARY ART,
WORKSHOP OF SCULPTURE. ITS CONCEPT OF COURTYARDS
REFLECTS THE IDEA OF CORREA’S MAZE OR PUZZLE PLANNING IN
BHARAT BHAVAN.
BHARAT BHAVAN

9. BHARAT BHAVAN
WHICH CORREA DESCRIBES AS A “RITUALISTIC PATHWAY” IN HIS DESIGN OF BHARATH BHAVAN. CORREA CLAIMS THAT
RITUAL OF FOLLOWING A SACRED PATHWAY IS A UNIVERSAL IMPULSE, FOUND IN ALL CULTURES AND RELIGIONS BY
DRAWING PARALLELS WITH THOSE FOUND IN RELIGIOUS ARCHITECTURE OF THE SUN TEMPLES OF MEXICO AND THE HINDU
TEMPLES OF INDIA AND BALI WITH THEIR RITUALISTIC PATHWAYS UP THE HILLSIDE.

10. STUDENT HOUSING LANDSCAPE ACADEMIC BLOCKS
THE ROUTE THROUGH THE STEPPED LEVELS ENCOURAGES MOVEMENT DOWN THE SITE’S NATURAL GRADIENT, WITH THE
INTERMEDIATE ZONE PROVIDING TRANQUIL SPACES FOR REST AND RELAXATION.
THE WIND FLOWS FROM NORTH-EAST TO SOUTH-
WEST. BY ACHIEVING STEPPED GROUND LEVEL,
THE SPACES WILL ENTIRELY UTILISE THE NATURAL
WIND

11. ACCORDING TO INDIAN TRADITIONS, EDUCATION IS CONSIDERED
SACRED. INVOLVING THIS IDEA, THE ACADEMIC BLOCKS ARE TO BE
PLACED IN THE HIGHER LEVEL LIKE A SCANTURY WHICH WILL ENCOURAGE
THE STUDENTS TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE WITH AWE AND DEVOTION.
OUTDOOR LEARNING: RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THERE ARE MANY
BENEFITS FROM LEARNING IN THE OUTDOORS, INCLUDING IMPROVED
CREATIVITY AND REDUCED STRESS. SOME OUTDOOR LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS ARE SIMPLY SPACES THAT FACILITATE LEARNING A
GROUP OF BENCHES, AN AMPHITHEATRE, OR A PARTIALLY COVERED
WORKSPACE WITH AMENITIES LIKE WI-FI AND SUPPLIES.

12. HE ALSO UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING CONNECTED TO THE
GREAT OUTDOORS THIS ‘OPEN-TO-SKY’ CONCEPT ALSO INCORPORATES
HIS INNOVATIVE PASSIVE METHODS OF HEATING AND COOLING
BUILDINGS; OFTEN CORREA’S WORK FEATURES PERGOLAS, VERANDAHS,
OPEN COURTYARDS AND TERRACES, WITH A FOCUS ON QUALITY OF
LIGHT, CIRCULATION OF AIR AND PLENTY OF SHADE.
SO, THE IDEA IS TO CREATE SPACES THAT TEASE OUT THE SEAMLESS
AND IMAGINATIVE UNITY OF FORMS BETWEEN MODERNIST AND
TRADITIONAL FORMS OF DESIGN AS SEEN IN THE WORKS OF CHARLES
CORREA

13. THIS PRINCIPLE SUGGESTS FUNCTION IS THE CRUCIAL
OBJECTIVE AND DRIVES THE OVERALL FORM FROM THE
STRUCTURE. IT MEANS THAT WE BUILD A PARTICULAR
SPACE WITH THE PURPOSE, WHILE STYLE SHOULD ALWAYS
FOLLOW THE FUNCTION. THIS PRINCIPLE EXPLAINS THE
MINIMALISTIC APPROACH IN CONSTRUCTION.
MODERNISM

14. THIS PRINCIPLE EXPLAINS THE MINIMALISTIC APPROACH IN CONSTRUCTION. THERE ARE NO EXCESSIVE
ORNAMENTS; ONLY MINIMAL ELEMENTS ARE USED TO EXPRESS THE FUNCTIONALITY AND AESTHETICS OF
THE SPACE. MODERN ARCHITECTURE STATES THAT MINIMAL AND MESS-FREE CONSTRUCTIONS PROVOKE
THE FEELING OF SIMPLICITY, PEACE, AND ALLOWS OCCUPANTS TO EXPERIENCE STRESS-FREE
ENVIRONMENT.
LACK OF ORNAMENT
EMPHASIS OF RECTANGULAR FORMS AND
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES
EMPHASIS ON HORIZONTAL PLANES AND BROAD
ROOF OVERHANGS
USE OF TRADITIONAL MATERIALS IN NEW WAYS
HONESTY OF MATERIALS
EMPHASIS ON OPEN, FLOWING INTERIOR SPACES
GENEROUS USE OF GLASS AND NATURAL LIGHT
CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERNISM

15. ISSUE BASED DESIGN SOLUTIONS

16. SO, WHEN MODERN DESIGN IS COMBINED WITH TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE, THE RESULTS ARE BOLD. THE
CONTRAST BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW OFTEN CREATES A LOOK THAT BORDERS ON SURREAL. A
TRADITIONAL FACADE CAN PROVIDE A STRIKING CONTRAST TO AN UPDATED MODERN SPACE HIDDEN FROM
VIEW BEHIND THE DOOR.
