LOCATION

4. • INTRODUCTION College of Architecture, Chandigarh was designed by Le Corbusier in 1962.

The college is present near the capital complex and is easily accessible from the city. This college
gives degrees in bachelor’s Course of architecture.

5. • PLANNING AND LAYOUT The planning is introvert in nature. The studio and classrooms have
been grouped together around a Rectangular courtyard. There are two doubly loaded corridors
originating on two ends of the building which Lead from the entrance to the studios and class rooms.
The facilities like library, museum, common room, dark room and Administration and faculty rooms
are on both sides of these corridors. These corridors are poorly connected to the courtyard through
four small openings. The design studios are on the northern side of the building. Entrance hall is a
long rectangle in shape. The Courtyard has not been well linked with rest of the building.

8. • LINKAGES There has been no thought of linking studios and the relationship between
different classes is quite poor. Architect has failed to link the courtyard in an active manner with
rest of the building. As a result, it is a passive & a dead space. Corridors and courtyards are poorly
linked. Some faculty rooms are very close to studios while, others are far away. Thus, a varying
nature of relationship has been generated between students and faculty. There is little room for
inter-faculty interaction corridors which are major circulation arteries of the building help circulation
in a very uninteresting and boring manner.

9. • PLANNING

10. • LIGHT AND VENTILATION The classrooms, studios are other spaces deeper on north lights
for their lighting. The lighting is good during day time. Courtyard that might have been exploited
for natural lighting has not been used for such purposed. Ventilation is from small window, which
are present on the outside walls. The north side windows are large and near the ceilings.

17. • OPEN SPACES Courtyard is the only open space in the college which is well linked to the
rest of the college. It is a grassy lawn, used by students to relax during their spare time. There is a
large garden the south side of the college which is linked through entrance hall the

18. • INTERACTION Closed nature of study spaces. courtyard is only interaction space in the
college. Interaction and exchange of is which forms a very important part of architectural education
has been ignored by the architect. The uneven spacing o faculty rooms create very awkward
relationship between students & faculty.
 19. • LIBRARY Centrally air-conditioned library with approx. 15,000 titles in architecture and
related fields. Teaching aids like audio and videocassettes are also available. Training reports of
Seventh semester students are also availablehere for reference.

22. • WORKSHOP The college workshop caters to the need of ‘hands on’ experience in handling
of building construction tools and model making. It has facilities including machines and trained
personnel in the fields of carpentry, metal work and model making.

23. • INTERIOR SPACES The studios are quite spacious and they are separated by low height
walls. •The doubly loaded corridors are dull spaces. The studios and the workshop are intercepted
columns in the middle. Now days, further partitions have been put in studios to divide them into
subspaces. •The walls are whitewashed while the ceiling have left of bare concrete. On the
whole, there has been no attempt to create interesting spaces by the architect.

24. MATERIALS USED BRICK HAS BEEN USED AS PRIMARY BUILDING MATERIAL FOR THE ENTIRE
COMPLEX WALLS, COLUMNS. BRICK ARCHES HAVE BEEN USED FOR WIDE SPANS. USE OF
CONCERETE HAS BEEN RESTRICTED TO FOUNDATIONS, FLOOR SLABS, AND TIES FOR ARCHED
OPENINGS.
