The document provides a detailed case study of the IIM Bangalore campus, focusing on its architectural design that integrates natural lighting and local materials. Established in 1971, the campus is situated in a hilly area of Bangalore and is characterized by a layout inspired by Fatehpur Sikri, featuring corridors, courtyards, and a harmonious relationship with nature. The design emphasizes energy conservation, incorporates local craftsmanship, and is adapted to the region's tropical savanna climate.

2. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
 Bangalore lies in the southeast of the South Indian state of
Karnataka.
 It is in the heart of the Mysore Plateau (a region of the larger
Precambrian Deccan Plateau) at an average elevation of 900
m (2,953 ft).
 Located at 12°58′N 77°34′E / 12.97°N 77.56°E and covers an
area of 741 km2 (286 sq mi).

3. INTRODUCTION
 Date of establishment-1971
 Location-site is in hilly area in south
 Bangalore on Banerghatta.
 Context-urban setting , linked by a highway.
 Site area-102 acres
 Topography-undulating terrain with gentle
 slope
 Climate-temperature arid climate.
 Vegetation-lush green belt of tropical rain
 forest, beautifully landscaped and
 maintained.

4. SITE AND BUILDING ORIENTATION
 The 54,000 sq mt IIM B complex, built on a 100-acre campus, is based
on the design of the town of Fatehpur Sikri.
 The architect, B V Doshi, achieved this vision by linking a network of
corridors, courtyards and external spaces allowing for future extensions.
 Fatehpur Sikri’s courtyards and the gardens of Bangalore is
merged.(picked up the gardens and put them in the courtyards, and the
vision for a ‘glocal’ campus was born)

5. SITE AND BUILDING ORIENTATION
• The functional and physical
attributes of its design are related
to the local traditions of pavilion-
like spaces, courtyards, and
ample provision for plantations.
• The construction of the entire
complex is made simple and
standardized using exposed
concrete, lattices, frames, and
wall system using rough blocks of
local gray granite.
• Local craftsmen worked on it with
local material; it is low on
maintenance; the building is cool
and light is controlled.

6. SITE AND BUILDING ORIENTATION
 The design therefore conserves energy – human or mechanical, optimizes technologies,
adopts innovative ways of building and uses alternative materials.
 The functions are organised within this orthogonal plan punctuated with gardens, spaces
for pause, spaces for chance encounters, and informal nodes. Staircases connecting this
corridor to lecture-halls, meeting rooms and other ancillary spaces serve as transitions –
podiums to view the landscape as one moves vertically. This system makes allowances for
light, breeze and vision to move freely within the plan. The asymmetry of the diagram is
deliberate – the generator and container of life within.

7. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AND
CONDITION
 Tropical savanna climate with distinct wet
and dry season.
 Due to its high elevation, Bangalore
usually enjoys a more moderate climate
throughout the year, although occasional
heat waves can make summer
somewhat uncomfortable.
 Winter temperatures rarely drop below
14degree Celsius and summer
temperature seldom exceed 36degree
Celsius.
 The coolest month is January with an
average low temperature of 15.1degree
Celsius and the hottest month is april
with an average high temperature of
35degree Celsius.
CLIMATIC CONDITION
Bangalore lies in southeast of the
south Indian state of Karnataka.
It is in the heart of mysore plateau.
The topography of Bangalore is
generally flat, through the western part
of the city are hilly.
The highest point id vidhyaranyapura
doddabethahalli, which is 962m and is
situated to the north-wet of the city.

SITE ZONING
 Influence of IIMA zoning.
 Site divided into two halves; northern for staff
housing and southern for educational block.
 Staff housing into two sectors; teaching and non
teaching staff blocks.
 Educational block includes administrative and library
block and dormitory spaces to southern side.
 This zone is wrapped with greenery and screens off to
noise pollution
CIRCULATION PATTERN
 Vehicular movement
is well integrated
with zoning of
various activities.
 Three entrances from
first main entrance to
staff housing and
educational spaces.
 Second, a small
entrance to staff
housing alone. Third
one is the service
entrance from
southern side.

8. • The construction of the entire complex
is made simple and standardized using
exposed concrete, lattices, frames, and
wall system using rough blocks of local
grey granite.
So that it has low porosity which also makes
walls stain resistant
• The ground floor columns are cladded with
stone to bind it with the existing campus.
The upper levels have exposed concrete
surfaces.
WALLS AND
MATERIAL…

9. • it is low on maintenance; the building is cool and light is
controlled.
• Greenery was a third materialintroducing a vital vegetal
ornament.

 Geometrical roof and pergolas
 Designed in such a way so that controlled
sunlight comes and create a dramatic
