FACULTY HOUSNG
The School of Planning and Architecture,Vijayawada, attempts to make the campus an institutional center in the
city ofVijayawada.The institutional building is a platform for debate, exchange and dissemination and becomes a
deep gateway and an interface to the entire campus.The Institute draws on the austere ideologies from Brutalism
as a form of expression as a response to the extreme climate, and positions it contextually inVijayawada

8. ZONING : PARASOL-
• The top most section of
the building houses the
morning programs of the
learning curriculum such
as classrooms and
studios.
• It also acts as a
volumetric parasol roof for
the lower floors creating a
shaded environment
below.
CONCOURSE –
• The middle section of
the building is a
‘Stilted Platform’ that
allows for student
activity.
PLATFORM-
• The bottom most
section becomes a
heavy base to a floating
canopy.
• The base houses the
afternoon programs of
the learning curriculum
such as workshops and
Laboratories.

The design demonstrates a scale akin to a public
building on the outside and the inside explores the
didactic nature of space by creating a humane scale
apt for an engaged student community. The large
volume is punctured by voids, creating a rhythmic play
of light and shadows which allows the building to
respire; thus yielding spatial patterns that perform as a
scaling device. The design focuses on the diversity of
individuals and the vastness of a community and
creates Interdependent programs that offer a multitude
of interactive spaces that would be beneficial for a
community experience.

9. FORM EVOLUTION :
The design demonstrates a scale akin to a public building on the outside and the inside explores the
didactic nature of space by creating a humane scale apt for an engaged student community. The large
volume is punctured by voids, creating a rhythmic play of light and shadows which allows the building
to respire; thus yielding spatial patterns that perform as a scaling device. The design focuses on the
diversity of individuals and the vastness of a community and creates Interdependent programs that
offer a multitude of interactive spaces that would be beneficial for a community experience. Our ideas
stems from an interest in developing inter relationships in which students would participate in a non-
hierarchical nature of exchange.

10. SHADOW PATTERNS :
The relationships between three sections -The Parasol, Concourse and the Platform have been structured into
a three-dimensional constellation that is informed by movement and varying levels of privacy of diverse
programs .PARASOL -The top most section of the building houses the morning programs of the learning
curriculum such as classrooms and studios. It also acts as a volumetric parasol roof for the lower floors creating
a shaded environment below . CONCOURSE -The middle section of the building is a ‘Stilted Platform’ that
allows for student activity.

13. THE DESIGN FORM FOLLOWING THE FUNCTION :
Form of the building is a direct response to the hot and humid climate of Vijayawada, which enables
shading and cross ventilation. North-light sections for studios along with insulation of the roof and
landscaping create responsive configurations"

29. THE DOUBLE HELIX STAIRCASE :
• Circulation areas include a
double-helix staircase that is
designed to maximise the stair
width in order to enhance the
experience of movement. The
two stairs intertwine and lead
the users to the same levels
simultaneously without
intersecting.
• Stepped terraces along the
northern side connect the
ground level with the concourse.
An auditorium with raked seating
is accommodated beneath this
gently sloping surface.

30. MATERIALS:
• The region's hot and humid weather thorough planning incorporates passive cooling
systems and the use of local materials like tandur stone for flooring and cladding, fly ash
bricks and pre-cast block jaalis.
• The stilts, courtyards and pre-cast block jaali walls at the ground level in the student
housing aid in passive cooling, facilitate cross-ventilation and protect from the harsh solar
radiation.
• These traditional design elements like courtyards, essentially used as strategies to
address the weather conditions, also play a major role in imparting a character to the
building.
The clever insertion of punctures throughout the building and the use of the Tandur stone
cladding at the base give the facades an interesting and distinct appearance and largely
prevent it from looking banal.
While the grey of the Tandur stone wall cladding on the ground floor of the student
housing starkly contrasts with the white finish of its upper floors rendering a clean look to
the building’s facade, the institute building projects hues of grey of the Tandur stone
cladding and the fair-faced concrete with striking flashes of brown in between of the
Corten steel louvres
The corten steel louvers are Used for concourse level For certain program provides
shading and screening.

31. MERITS:
Smaller courtyards work as three-dimensional light wells
which offer visual connectivity through the layers above
and below.
OAT at entrance
but also used as
stair case to
reach upper
level.
Staff dining area is
provided and also
used as gathering
place Rain water is used for indoor landscape spaces
North lights were
used in this
structure.
For railings they were provided
extended horizontal elements which
provides seating and connect to
nature

32. This oat is the roof for lower floor
portion of the library
There were oat
were provided so
many to provide
each one for a
different
purposes which
connects
different blocks.
Faculty blocks Exteriors
were designed in a unique
way . they were used
specific material which
blocks the clear vision and
provides privacy.
DEMERITS:
Water stagnant in some circulation Spaces
There were so many
stairs cases it might be
find difficulty and make
bit confuse to
understand circulation
