Quadrangle and class rooms are linked by glass doors The concept of one point perspective was utilized to resolve the scale resolution of the mountains and structures classrooms have verandahs and extend into courtyards The Academic quadrangle is penetrated at its four cardinal quadrants by portals Pathways creating hierarchy in the building structure in the academic area

  61 acres links withthe streets that feed them- creating nodes re-defining vital axes and emphasizing points of focus. Master Planning of the Campus commits to the cultivation of a ‘place’, where the imageability of a seemingly overbearing architecture is surmounted by the POROSITY OF THE SKIN and the affability with which the ground transitions from the street outside to a ‘vertical street’ inside.

  The massing isa juxtaposition of three distinct wings, with one bar projecting into the streetscape to craft a strong visual statement as well as creating an engaging connection with the rest of the campus.

  The design takesoff from the conceptual vision of recreating a ‘hangar-like’ volume, which would define the buildings form and lend itself to the function it primarily houses.

  A conceptualization ofthe street integrating into the building. A public plaza at the first floor level forms this ‘hangar’ and serves as an extension of the streetscape, linking the open spaces in front and behind the building

  ARCHITECTURE BLOCK

  the building wasenvisioned as a pure extrusion of a rectangle an internal ‘grey’ volume held together by the structural grid, wrapped by a cantilevering envelope that forms the façade. Located along a street, the perforations on this façade coupled with the exposed circulation paths that boldly swathe it, help break the massive volume down to a more human scale The random play of the strip-like windows allows the built envelope to continue to be perceived as an opaque mass LIFE SCIENCE BLOCK

  This texture couldbe felt in an Indian village street. The strong visual forces, looking on to the hills, combined with the activities makes the intended 'places'. Thus an open to sky pedestrian 'spine' emerges as the salient design feature that connects the various blocks, enacting as a 'breathing space'.

  Orientation of thespine along the north-south direction keeps a major part of the spine in shade, creating cool spaces of repose in the hot tropical sun during the day. The silhouette of shadows along the spine creates interesting patterns to behold. Innovative combination of clad and bare concrete surfaces explores a palette of myriad textures and play of light, augmenting the visual interest.
