 SYNOPSIS

AIM- To analyze and understand the essential architectural design qualities of space in a college of
architecture and to design the college of Architecture & Planning.

OBJECTIVES

•To understand spaces through case studies and data analysis.

•To carefully design spaces so as to bring about interaction among the students and teachers and
make the building an ideal place for education.
•It should ensure an environment suitable for moulding young designers of good quality.
•The design should have enough freedom so that it can keep itself away from external pressure.
•The design should have no feeling of restriction for the exchange of ideas and the faculty and the
students should have freedom to teach and learn anywhere apart from classrooms.
•To establish an attitude of life long learning, to prepare professionals with ethical standards based on
genuine concern for improving the quality of life for individual and society.
3 REASON FOR SELECTION OF PARTICULAR TOPIC
As an architecture student I feel that the school where an architecture student spends 5 most valuable
years of his life studying has a direct influence on his career.
Intelligence, creativity, sensitivity and a thorough knowledge of the arts and science are essential for
achieving distinguished architecture and the school plays a major role in providing the right kind of
ambience to achieve the above qualities.
Thus after being an architecture student for 3 and half years I felt that there is a need to prepare
professionals with ethical standards based on genuine concern for improving the quality of life of
individuals and society.
Thus there arises a need for a school where the students can discover, integrate, articulate and apply
knowledge. My aim is to what they exactly want and help them mould themselves in that particular field.
On the other hand there is'nt much architecture college in india in comparison to UK and United States.
2
Thus the aim is to have an architecture college with full equipped from facilities to educational system
SCOPE OF DESIGN
School of Planning and Architecture is a big institute and developing a minimum 5,000
Sq.m campus in itself is a big task. The scope of my design would basically concentrate on
the overall master planning of the campus of architecture institute. Therefore few areas
would not be detailed and will just be marked for future development. Areas which will be
detailed out are:-
•Undergraduate degree course for architecture (B.Arch)
•Postgraduate degree course for architecture (M.Arch)
•Undergraduate degree course for Planning (B.Planning)
•Postgraduate degree course for Planning (M.Planning)
•Hostel blocks
•Staff residence
•Sport facilities
•Workshop
•Auditorium
•Canteen
•Cafeteria
•Playgrounds
•Studios
•Administration block
•Open green space for interaction
•Landscape

CASE STUDIES

CCA CHANDIGARH-

 The building designed around a courtyard, yet it fails to take the advantage of the
courtyard in an active manner due to the doubly loaded corridors.
Due to the horizontal stacking of studies, interaction among the students take place
only in the corridor.
The form of the building is the reflection of creativity in itself and it allows to bring
the north light.
CEPT AHMEDABAD- The overall planning of the campus has been on the concept of
a central courtyard with built masses on 3 sides and a dense green belt on the 4 th side
which gives the necessary protection from the vehicular traffic on the university main
road.

METHODOLOGY

Live case studies-

CCA, Chandigarh
CEPT university, Ahmedabad Gujarat
Net case studies-

INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION

Due to change in social life of people, need of society with regards to built environment is changing
significantly. As a result we require more houses, public buildings, hospitals, institutions etc. This
change demanded more skilled personnel, particularly architects to design optimally and help
implementing the facilities.
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO INSTITUTIONS

An educational institution is an ensemble of buildings, each other and how to behave with surroundings.
landscape, and infrastructure used for education.
An institution is defined as a self contained architecture A campus should have residence for guests
and visitor who composition of separation university buildings in a park study design, construction and
encourage them to develop temporarily want to stay for the purpose of works. creative as well as
technical abilities in a student. setting with residential accommodation, library, class- A campus should
have a strong administrative staff to co-room, etc. for a community of student and teachers.

1.2 STATUS OF ARCHITECTURE

Architecture
COLLEGE IN Colleges
INDIAin India can be called foundation stones for building varied career in architecture.
Architecture in India is very ancient and can be traced back to Indus Valley Civilization  during 3300 BCE-
1300BCE. The civilization was known for its grid layout planning of the cities with roads at exact right
angles. But the earliest architecture institute in India came up during 1857. Sir J.J. school of Architecture,
Mumbai was the First Modern College which introduced a structured course in architecture. In prevalent
times there are more than 135 institutes of architecture in India.
There are about 385 institutions, which impart architectural education in India leading to recognized
qualifications. The standards of education imparted in all architecture institutes in India is governed by
Council of Architecture, a government regulatory body. These institutes include affiliated
colleges/schools, constituent colleges, deemed universities, departments of universities, IITs, NITs and
autonomous institutes.
Maharashtra has the largest number of institutes offering architecture courses, followed by Tamil Nadu 7
and Uttar Pradesh.

We require 6 lakh 41 thousand architect as
per british standards.
We require 9 lakh 13 thousand architects as
per American standards.
If we take the average of uk and usa then u
require approximately 7.5 lakhs architect in
india.
Therefore estimated shortage of architects = 8
 1.3 ROLE OF COUNCIL OF
ARCHITECTURE (COA)
The council of Architecture (COA) is an autonomous statutory body of govt. of India incorporated
under the Architects Act, 1972. The COA has been charged with the responsibility of enforcing the
Act throughout the country, including registration of architects, regulating the architecture
profession and the architectural education at all level. The COA consists of members nominated by
the central and state government /union territories, Institutions of Engineers (India) & Institutions of
surveyors of India and members elected to represent the Indian Institues of Architects & Heads of
Institutions imparting Architectural Education.

ABOUT SCHOOL OF PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE , DELHI

School offers planning, architecture and design courses both at

undergraduate and postgraduate levels. While the Bachelor of Architecture
course is one of the oldest in the country, highly successful Bachelor of
Planning course was started in 1989. Besides, the School offers 10
postgraduate programmes and 2 undergraduate programmes along with
the doctoral programmes run by all the departments of studies.

The existing SPA Delhi campus is so scattered. Its various departments are
at large distance. This makes a lot of inconvenience and very much
disconnected department. The existing SPA campus is at indraprasth. And
the hostel is at Maharani bagh, this makes a diconnection between the
building blocks and trouble for the hostel students.

CASE STUDIES
 CASE STUDIES
CASE STUDY 1 –C.E.P.T. AHMEDABAD
GENERAL INFORMATION
•Was established in 1962 by the Ahmedabad Education Society.
•Located in the Kasturbhai Lalbhai campus of the AES.
•Various Departments were build in phases, with School of Architecture in 1962, School of Planning in
1972, School of Building Science and Technology in 1982 & School of Interior Design in 1991.

Surrounding land use and Character of urban form‐

•The campus is located in the Ahmedabad institutional area surrounded by various other institutes of
Ahmadabad educational society & Gujarat
university.
•It is supported by various commercial places adjacent to the C.E.P.T. campus. It includes markets,
commercial shops, residences, and other
public spaces like sports complex, hospitals, parks etc.
•120 ft. wide road approach road parallel to the ring road connects the campus with rest of the city, with
an upcoming metro rail and B.R.T.S.
corridor project to upkeep with the inflating population & traffic density.
•Has well maintained roads, footpaths & modern bus stops, signage board and the lush green
surroundings give a soothing urban experience to the
user.
•The vacant land adjacent to institutes for future expansion of the campuses keeps the massing of 32the
AHEMDABAD CLIMATE
Ahemadabad climate is hot, humid and dry with moderate rainfall. Temperature range from 45 degrees
in summer and in winter to minimum of 10 degrees.
DESIGN FEATURES
•No restriction in exchange of ideas and thoughts through informal environment.
•Provision for flexible spaces which can be used in a multifunctional manner.
•Strong connectivity between spaces making the school as an open spaces with no doors at
all.
•Providing working environment which ease for faculty and students to teach , learn and
interact.
•All buildings are oriented in the north – south direction. Open spaces on the north and
south sides respectively allow fresh air to ventilate the built structure.
•The open spaces and the shaded once merged with the undulating landscape.
•The open spaces is linked to the office and library area, workshop and canteen.
•These areas are very lively and dynamic.

CONCEPT-

The overall planning of the campus has been on the concept of a central courtyard with built
masses on 3 sides and a dense green belt on the 4 th side which gives the necessary protection
from the vehicular traffic on the university main road.

 CASE STUDY 2 –CCA, CHANDIGARH

CHANDIGARH COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE YEAR 1961

•WAS A PART OF THE GREAT CHANDIGARH EXPERIMENT
•ARCHITECT‐LE CORBUSIER
•BUILT IN THREE PHASES, IS ONLY AN UNDERGRADUATE INSTITUTE.
LOCATION‐ IT IS LOCATED IN PUNJAB UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, LOCATED IN THE SECTOR 12 INSTITUTIONAL
AREA OF CHANDIGARH U.T.
SURROUNDING‐ LAND USE & URBAN FORM‐THE SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE 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 SPACES VERY WELL. A SEPARATE ACADEMIC
ZONE IS AT THE REAR SIDE OF THE CAMPUS COMPRISING OF THE STUDIOS, LIBRARY, COMPUTER ROOM,
AREA REQUIREMENTS
WORKSHOPS, LABS. ETC.
•THE AREA OF A STUDIO IS APPROX. 250 SQ. M.COMPARING IT TO THE INTAKE OF ONE BATCH I.E. 40 IT
IS VERY MUCH SUFFICIENT.
•THE OPEN LAWN IS HAVING A SMALL STAGE WITH A TOTAL AREA OF 700 SQ. M. WHICH IS VERY MUCH
SUFFICIENT TO HOLD A CULTURAL EVENT HAVING A CAPACITY OF 200 PEOPLE EASILY.
•THERE IS AN OUTDOOR SEATING SPACE AT THE CANTEEN WHICH DOES NOT MAKES IT APPEAR 35
CROWDY EVEN WHEN LARGE MASS OF PEOPLE ATTEND THERE.
THE ENTRANCE FOYER IS A LONG PASSAGE
THE OPEN SEATING AREA IN THE CANTEEN
DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY WHICH CAN BE THE OPEN LAWN AMIDST THE BUILDING. THE WEST
AREA CREATES A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT
USED FOR EXHIBITIONS. THE ELEVATION SIDE WALL OF THE COLLEGE BUILDING HAS BEEN
WITH TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS.
TREATMENT ENSURES PUNCTURED DESIGNED WITH LEAST WINDOWS TO AVOID THE
SUNLIGHT INTO THE HALL. DEEP PENETRATING EVENING SUN.

THE ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING IS MADE UP

THE CORRIDOR IS QUITE LONG AND THE CLASSROOM 250 SQ. M. WITH A
