“Human Centric Public Spaces”
• The scale of the built form is framed to develop a successful urban
plaza, connected through streets.
• A central monolith green space is the Epicenter of the campus and
acts as a major node and an active Public realm.
“Monolith Urban Block”
• The Concept for master plan is mainly derived
from a monolith , singular land mass or structure ,
which could be a strong iconic representation of
built form.
•The iconic built mass can develop a singular
language and pattern of design yet, have dedicated
space composition.
“Design principles from South Indian temple towns”
• The main elements are rigid axis passing through the epicenter
and four cardinal points identified with towers.
• The planning principles are also based on making walk able
cities and limiting the growth to 4 square kilometers.

STREETS & SQUARES
• Creating “Human Centric Public Spaces” connected through streets.
• The whole campus can have defined vistas and axis and a genius loci for the campus.
• In response to the climatic condition, buildings are oriented North South
• Shaded central open space through out the day.
• The built form can be more porous and active at the lower level
• The longer facades ensures natural day lighting during work hours.

HUMAN CENTRIC
• Climatic response in architectural
features
• Connected green corridors with covered
walkways to encourage pedestrian
movement.
• The campus can be designed with
various streets and courtyards,
which are interfaced with a primary
public activity and in turn is a
potential public node.
• The built form is anchored by these
corridors and central courts.

• The Concept for master plan is mainly derived from a monolith , singular
land mass or structure , which could be a strong functional representation
of built form.
• The unending vistas and viewing corridors are formed as a result of the
conjoint built mass.
• The iconic built mass can develop a singular language and pattern of
design yet, have dedicated space composition.

• Design the project for Social Success by recognizing
that success will be measured by the experience of the
project at a range of scales that prioritizes the human
scale.
• Conceiving CAMPUS as a COMMUNITY is the primary
principle of Master Plan
• Climatic responsive built forms and open space
generation are the key governing factors of the design.

MONOLITHIC “URBAN BLOCK”

• A typical Indian street - colossal built forms overlooking narrow walkways and
corridors which encounters series of urban open spaces.
• A street in the centre of this monolithic block can form the main channel of
movement.
Central street
• Scale of the central street
can be derived from critical
day lighting that can be
made available to the work
space.
• Central streets act as very
active public realm within
the building.
Large gateways which
opens up into the
street
Outer corridors which

• Genesis of design principles from South Indian
temple towns.
• The main elements are rigid axis passing through
the epicenter and four cardinal points identified
with towers.
• Planning principles - making walk able cities and
limiting the growth to 4 square kilometers.
South Indian Temple Town
• Spatial planning of the town reflects overall zoning which are based on functions
and operations.
• The built forms also reflect the activity with which the region is associated.

COMPARISON
Strategy 3
Temple Towns of South India
• Structured planning pattern
• Ceremonial campus planning
• Structured Vistas and open spaces
• Delineated Zoning of spaces
without overlaps
• Uni directional Street pattern
• Defined open spaces
• Rigid built form arrangement
• Mostly North South orientation of
blocks
Strategy 1
Streets & Squares
• Organic planning form
• Structured built form enclosing
central green areas
• Nodes terminating the green channel
• Streets and squares framing the
pedestrian movement pattern
• Porous lower levels of the built form
• Maximized North South orientation
of the blocks.
Strategy 2
Urban Block
• Singular monolithic built form
• Contained central green space, with
activity centers as main nodes
• Lower levels of the built form with
public activities
• Low rise built form with maximized
green space on the site.
• Vistas and connected corridors
unifying the entire campus.
• Maximized North South orientation.
