UNIVERSITY IS INSTITUTIONAL AS WELL AS RESIDENTIAL. PROPER SETBACKS OF THE HOUSES
FROM THE ROADS WITH A GREEN COVER IN BETWEEN AND WELL PLANNED WIDE GRID‐IRON ROADS
GIVES A FEELING OF AN URBAN CONCEPT– CONCEPT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD FROM THE DESIGN OF
MAIN BUILDING. THE USE OF NORTH LIGHT CONCRETE ROOF WITH AN OPEN LAWN AS A CENTRAL
COURTYARD AND MINIMAL OPENINGS ON THE WEST WALLINDICATES THE CLIMATE AS A REASON
BEHIND THE DESIGN. LONG CORRIDORS WITH SQUARISH BUILT FORM GIVES RESEMBLANCE TO THE
CHARACTER OF CHANDIGARH CITY . DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN‐ THE THOUGHT BEHIND PLANNING
MUST HAVE BEEN TO CREATE SEPARATE ZONES HAVING DIFFERENT PURPOSE .THE ENTRANCE
FOYER HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO SERVE AS A MULTIPURPOSE AREA. THE OPEN
LAWN AT THE CENTRE DOES NOT OPEN AT THE SIDES BUT AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE CORRIDOR
AND THE REAR CORRIDOR STUDIO. IT SERVES AS A GATHERING SPACEAND A ZONE FOR ALL THE
USERS TO RELAX. THE ADMINISTRATION ZONE IS ON THE LEFT SIDE COMPLIMENTING ADJACENT
