SURROUNDING LAND USE
The institutional
building is a platform
for debate, exchange
and dissemination and
becomes a deep
gateway and an
interface to the entire
campus in 2008. 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 in
Vijayawada.

BUILDING SHADOWS :
THESE ARE RESPECTIVELY THE BUILDING SHADOWS AT
JANUARY , MAY AND AUGUST OF THE YEAR AT 9AM , 12PM AND 4 PM. THE
ENITRE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED SOLELY BASED ON THE CLIMATIC
CONDITIONS OF THE CITY.
BUILDING AIR MOVEMENT
The architect used large fenestrations but with horizontal louvers in order to prevent heat and
provide lighting. These also provide cross ventilation inside the building that makes the spaces
much cooler with respect to that of the humid climate in vijayawada. Also the roofs are energy
efficient and prevent the building from heat penetration.
THE COURTYARDS ALLOW
THE BUILDING TO
BREATHE FROM WITHIN.

PARASOL- The top most
section of the building
houses .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.
LEARNING CORRIDOR
The topmost section of the building houses the morning programs of the learning
curriculum such as classrooms and studios. It also acts as a parasol roof for the lower
floors creating a shaded environment below.
SOLAR WATER HEATING systems for Hostels and Kitchen with 19,200 litres per day
capacity, which is under use.
It has roof-top SOLAR POWER GENERATION with 183 KW per day with 1.08.000
kwh units of generation per year, which is in operation.
The campus has ground WATER RECHARGE PITS, LED lightings with automatic
sensors
a SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT with 100 KLD capacity.
The recycled water from the STP is used for gardening and flushing of toilets.
A composting yard is in the making for recycling of kitchen waste.
The LAN in the campus caters to approximately 800 users at a time.
All common areas are connected by WiFi and 1-GBPS Internet connectivity is provided
through NKN-NMEICT.
The computer labs have state-of-the art workstations in network which can handle high
end computing required for design, rendering and processing of satellite data for
planning. The classrooms are fitted with audio-visual infrastructure that can work on
LANs for easier and smarter display and dissemination.

THEME IN PLANNING

building is influenced by
Brutalist principles
that emphasised functionality
and the expression of

raw/exposed form

MATERIAL STUDY
 GLAZED WINDOW FENESTRATION
integrating architectural design elements like
courtyards, streetscapes and verandah spaces
a well-balanced solid-to-void ratio defines this
project.
FUNCTION ANALYSIS
creates flexible, open-ended spaces serving to
generate and maintain a vibrant atmosphere
within an educational set-up
Wall section
FUNCTION ANALYSIS
 Three modules with a mix of
programs and non-program
have been designed and
combined in varied
configurations around the
living courtyards:
 Module - A: 8 single rooms +
4 twin sharing rooms + 2
recreational decks + stilt
area(left)
 Module - B: 4 toilets + 1
common room + 6 single
rooms + 3 twin sharing rooms
+ stilt area (centre)
 Module - C: Staircase + 10
single rooms + 1 recreational
deck + 1 terrace + stilt area
Semi-open stilts (left), horizontal and vertical circulation (centre) and
terraces and recreational decks (right) The three modules seamlessly merge
by virtue of the spatial continuum and connective spaces to form clusters
The form evolution of the
building emerges from the
creation of streets,
courtyards, bridges,
verandahs and terraces
with student living
