PHILOSOPHY
❖ He was not much bothered about trends and always to conceive building in his own way.
❖ Believed that architecture begins after you put up four walls and a roof; this is what he called
the “non-manifest part”.
❖ The relationship between human being and building being established what develops and
grows around becomes a measure for man and society.
❖ The immediate surroundings is the source of construction materials-snow, stone, straw, wood
or mud is yhe indegineous materials for constructing an enclosure.
❖ The various projects he has undertaken since then reflect the consistent contextually inheriet
in his design philosophy.
JODHPUR UNIVERSITY
❑ Architects: UCJ Architecture &
Environment
❑ ProjectName: University of Jodhpur
❑ Location: Jai Narayan Vyas University,
Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
❑ Status: Completed in 1999
❑ Architect in Charge: Uttam C Jain
The Jodhpur University Campus Extension in Jodhpur city comprises a dozen separate
academic, residential, and service buildings
JODHPUR UNIVERSITY , RAJASTHAN (1968 – 1979)
➢ There is a cluster of lecture theatres, botany and zoology laboratories, the faculty of art and social
sciences, central library, printing press, staff canteen and housing.
➢ To achieve climatic adaptability non-technological modes, such as shading techniques, insulation,
cross-ventilation and orientation, were resorted to.
APPLIED PHILOSOPHIES IN DESIGN
➢ Locally available materials predominantly yellow
sandstone were extensively used to economise the
cost
➢ To make buildings responsive to the local culture,
climate, people, and materials, the design principles
were derived from both traditional Indian architecture,
and modernism.
➢ Traditional elements such as thick stone masonry, parallel walls, 3metre column spacing, 3.25M
long stone slabs for the roof and repetitive designs are incorporated to achieve harmony with
the local
➢ The blocks are oriented north-south with dead end walls on the east-west site to cut of direct
sunlight.
LECTURE THEATERS
➢ The stepped form of the cluster rises gradually from the
two sides to a compact, well-ventilated and shaded court
in the centre
➢ All the blocks of Botany and zoology laboratories are
identically designed and grouped in a cluster with a
provision for expansionin future.
PLANNING LECTURE HALLS
➢ The raised court acts as a transition space between theatres and is accessible through a ramp on
one axis, and wide flight of steps on both sides along the other axis.
➢ A central corridor system facilitates the incorporation of services at the second floor levels.
➢ Lecture theatres comprises four rectangular halls joint together at the crossing of two circulation
axis symmetrically

VIEWS
CIDCO PUBLIC HOUSING , NEW BOMBAY (1988 – 1991)
LOCATION : The CIDCO pubic housing “TOWNSPACE” project is build on 7.6hectre site 50 km
away from Bombayon the Bombay-puneroad, near panvel. The complex provides for 927
dwelling units of varying sizes.
DESIGN EVOLUTION :
•Present scene in new Bombay is combination of two extremes.
•On one hand continuous concrete slab construction whose urban character was
contaminated by mass housing.
•On the other hand a stagemanaged rural proclivity for single or double storeyed building.
ARCHITECTUC JAININ THE CIDCO PROJECTHAS STRUCK AN INDEPENDENT PATH BETWEEN
THE TWO EXTREMES AND THUS IS QUASI-RURALAND QUASI-URBANINHIS APPROACH

PLANNING
ELEVATION FEATURES IN PLANNING
➢ Dwelling unitswith lesser built up area are
locatedon the ground level, thus giving them full
advantageof the open spaces on the side.
➢ The dwellingswith higher floor area are,
compensated by the terraces at different levels.
➢ This indeed augments the useable space creating
better livablesurrounding
The rise of the residentialbuildingis limited to three upper floors. Another falloutfrom such layering
of four floors is the optimaluse of the common staircases, resulting in further cost reduction.
ENGINEERING COLLEGE , KOTA (1984 – 1991 )
➢ The Engineering Collage Complex near Kota in Rajasthan is planned over 140 hectare site along the
south east bank of river Chambal and assessable road leading to Rana partap sagardam.
➢ The complex with a built up area of 2,45,000square meters ,is predominantly residential in nature.
➢ The campus layout can broadly be divided into three main zones-The Academic, Faculty Housing and
students Hostels.
➢ The main concept revolves around the principles “Interaction at every stage’’ and ‘’Man on foot’’. The
necessitated evolving closed knit with landscape courts where students can pause and establish contact
beyond the teaching areas.
➢ The vaulted Roof all along the main spinal corridor that connects different facilities and common
facilities not only gives visual cohesiveness but also creates an air cushion.

➢ Indigenous stone and surplus man-power have been used to the maximum extend possible.
➢ Considering the Rock surface of the entire area and the hot climate ,the site has been
tropolised with dense forestation, especially in the areas out side the building zones.
➢ Kota stone being locally available material, has been fully exploited in the design of campus
buildings. Two natural shades of stone have been used.
➢ Natural materials are left untreated revealing ,revealing their texture through a play of light
and shade.
Thank you!
