 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This compilation is the result of hard work of 3 rd yr students section C of School of Planning
and Architecture batch 2018- 19. Despite of many hurdles, the students proved to be worthy
of appreciation which can be seen through the evolutionary process of their cumulative
development. For a time of 1year students being involved in various competitions, cultural fest,
installations, sports activities, they still found time to distract themselves from the worldly affairs
and indulge themselves in the process of being an architect. Students and faculty team with their
bits of ups and down found a common ground to produce works of different creativity levels.

It would like to mention the encouragements of Prof. Dr. Mandeep Singh for shaping the idea
of this publication.

I would like to thank Dr Rajapraksh Purushothaman for his consistent encouragement as a

director and alignment of thoughts and methodologies during the process of design.

I would like to appreciate the efforts and consistence feedbacks of Ar Anand Dhote, Visiting
Professor without whom no services could have been incorporated in the working and
practicality of a building. I would love to thank Ar Gaurav Sharma for his endless effort in
communicating value of meaningfulness in the form and function of a building.I would like to
thank Ar Sachin Rastogi for his special efforts and encouragement in making students understand
the creative thought process and sustainability through passiveness in design making.

It would be incomplete to mention about all those hands, the structure faculties, the special
lecture experts, and other faculties who helped the students in formulating a multidisciplinary
approach towards designing. It would be great to mention The School of Architecture and
Planning, KIIT Bhbhneshwar, their faculty and students for their immense effort in organizing a
constructive Joint Studio with the students of SPA Delhi. A huge thanks to Ar Gaurav Shorey,
whose efforts were thoroughly enjoyed by the students tounderstand the principles of Green
Building Design which was an integral part of Studio design. And lastly I would like to thanks
all the jury members for their valuable inputs on the works produced by the students for the
course of both the semesters.

A great contribution goes to the editorial team Bharti Gupta, Kajal Aggrawal, Kartik Sharma,
Kumar Shivam, and Yugank Farigh who stepped ahead to work in this hot summer holidays
and their effort to compile the works of their fellow classmates resulting into this concise
publication.

 PREFACE
The publication comprises of two semesters of work carried out by the students
of 3 rd yr (5th & 6th Semester) School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi.
As per the syllabus, both the semesters revolved around the active and passive energy
efficient design concepts through two major design exercises and
supplementary exercises required for understanding of design problem.

The odd semester focused on the introduction of passive solar design concepts,
techniques and their applications in urban buildings in a given climatic zone,
which also added the features of Universal Accessibility and Barier Free Design.
For the purpose one month introductory exercise was introduced to understand the
appropriate passive design strategies such as building orientation, shading
devices, insulating walls, roofs etc. A hypothetical site with a relatively less area of
1.2 acres to be located at Gurgaon was allotted to experiment with the above
mentioned strategies to create an Eco Retreat for Architects. The main intent of
the exercise was to make students aware of site planning and passive strategies
with the notion of development controls, codes, byelaws such as F.A.R, E.C.S,
services.

The major exercise followed up was a three month long programme scheduled
with varied methodologies, which included studio trips to various sustainable and
green building in the Delhi NCR region and educational trip to Bhubaneswar. The
working site was a proposed project for Training and Research Centre Council of
Architecture with requirements of admin, recreation spaces and residential
facilities. The major challenge was to integrate the existing stone quarry with a
depth more than 5m below the ground level. This design programme included
study of activities, social utility, multi functionality, façade development and
CAST IN CONCRETE scope for future development. It also included introduction and application of
shading devices and energy simulation softwares.

Even semester focused on design of a mid rise to high rise structure in an urban
setting. For this two sites ( Gurgaon and Barakhamba ) were selected to generate
diversity in design approach which could develop through the study of context as
a moderator of urban space. The programme was an attempt to understand the
frameworks of structural system, interior spaces, service cores which constitutes
the major elements of design of a high rise. It also focused on the relation of
exterior and interior environment through building skin design which promotes to
develop an attitude to produce sensitive designers. Futher the programme was
elaborated to understand the terminologies such as byelaws, fire and earthquake
safety, Air conditioning, active energy systems, parking, and their applications for
practical proposals of buildings to be constructed.

TRAINING AND RESEARCH INSITITUTE,
BHUBANESHWAR
Bhubaneswar, literary meaning: Lord of the Universe, is one of the four temple cities of India
known for its ornamental architecture and elaborate temples. Lingaraj Temple, Konark Temple
and the Parasurameswara temple are the main temples spanning the Kalinga Architecture and
attract religious travelers from all over the world. Bhubaneswar, being the capital city of Odisha
is also developing educational and institutional infrastructure and is fast becoming a commercial
hub of the East Coast of India.
Council of architecture, established by the Government of India, has taken the initiative of
proposing to operate Training and Research Centers in five different zones of the country one
of which is Bhubaneswar.These research centers will facilitate students and young graduates to
take up challenges in various fields of architecture. It will provide them a platform to learn about
new upcoming materials, test them and provide hands on training in their use and application.
it will also provide skilled development programs for the laborers of the working industry
like masons, carpenters, plumbers and electricians etc. to help them deliver quality in building
construction activities. It will act as a national resource center will change the face of modern
architecture as we see today.
On their visit to Bhubaneswar, the students of School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi
were introduced to this project and were taken to the proposed site. The site had a beautiful
landscape with a man-made quarry in the center almost dividing the site into two.The water in
the site added a whole new demographic to it, and tackling the waterbody and incorporating it
became one of the driving force of design. The site area was 18,150 m2, the allowable Ground
coverage was 3,630 m2 with maximum FAR 1.75. The functions included, an administration
and establishing wing, training wing, documentation and publication wing and research wing.
Continuing the theme of the semester, the students were also asked to incorporate passive
design strategies to reduce the overall energy consumption of their building and promote
green sustainable buildings. The area program was as follows:
S.No. FUNCTION AREA
1. Administration and Establishing Wing 5300 m2
2. Training Wing 1320 m2
3. Documentation and Publication Wing 230 m2
4. Research Wing 1400 m2

South east facade has three-dimension-
al shading devices which block both low
angle east sun as well as summer south sun.
Instead of using horizontal and vertical lou-
vers together on the building facade, these
shading devices make the facade look more
interesting and also serves the purpose at
the same time. It binds the facafacade as well
as the different floors into one entity. Use
of glass fins on north-west facade angled
away from west so as to block west sun in

Openings are provided at intervals on the
staircase facade and the adjacent walls are
treated as green walls which also cools

 HIGHRISE, BARAKHAMBA ROAD
The site, Barakhamba road, acts as a prime commercial hub of Delhi. With a huge working population using the
space daily, the street acts as a city centre. The site is near Connaught Place which is the centre of nearly all
activities and hence faces loads of traffic. Barakhamba road has numerous high-rise office complexes and corporate
centres. This road helps in distributing traffic to the trans-Yamuna areas of Delhi and hence gets congested
during peak hours. The existing Barakhamba commercial street lacked an interactive environment for its users.
Thus, the program proposed for the site required integration of the existing elements of the site. It must provide
another layer which further enhances the use of the site both functionally and in terms of image of the city.
The semester aimed at incorporating active strategies in the design in order to minimize the energy requirements of the building
and create interactive functional spaces.The program was broadly based on the changing work patterns, needs of the society
and image of the city keeping in mind the site context, accessibility, infrastructure and other strengths and weaknesses.The
students were taught about the various types of structural systems and facades in their structures and building construction
classes which helped them to come up with better ideas regarding the overall form and appearance of the building.

The site has an area of 4500 square metres with a maximum ground coverage of 30 percent and permissible FAR of 4. Both
surface and basement parking should be provided on the site for a total of 280 cars. The aim was to design a mixed-use high-
rise building and achieve a successful interactive environment for the commercial hub with the requirements given below

BHARATI GUPTA,
A/2911/2016 The main concept of the building is to increase
public space interaction. The building on the
retail level captures the local street market
character with an open lane in the middle
and shops on both the sides. The central part
of the building remains shaded throughout
the day for ease of pedestrain movement.
The split also creates a division in area usage,
while both buildings are retail on the first
four floors it later has office spaces in has
office spaces in one and residential in other
insuring privacy and ease in access.
The grid size of the building at the base
level is 10 m x by 10m. The inclination
of the inclined facade is at an angle of
15deg. The third and fourth column of the
building are inclined at the same angle. In
the smaller half of the building, the inclined
columns meets the straight columns on
the 10th floor, thus acting as bracings and
supporting the entire structure. In the
other part of the building the inclined
columns are attached to the straight
columns and shear walls with tie beams to
stabilize the entire structure.

55 HIGH RISE, BARAKHAMBA

The southeast façade is inclined at a 15deg
angle. To self-shade the building the angle
to be achieved was 26deg.To further shade
the building façade, a second skin, GRC jali,
is placed at an offset of 1000mm to the
primary skin which is a fully glazed glass
window. The southeast facing façade of
the shorter building has maximum core
area which minimizes openings on that
side. GRC jali forms a curve over half the
courtyard and the office spill out space
which also continues to the southwest
façade of the smaller building thus shading
most part of the building.
HARSH BHATI,
A/2920/2016

The main ideology of design was to provide

open green spaces on each floor and
reduce the rather vertical experience of
the high-rise. To achieve this, sky courts
are provided on each floor that are three
stories high. Each sky court connected
to a different floor. Sky courts become
the direct source of diffused light into the
building from all three corners of a triangle.

Column free office space divided into private

and semi-private zones with direct vision to
all three sky courts. The atrium becomes the Horizontal Shading
focal point of the floor plate visible from all
the areas.The core is placed on the southeast
and southwest façade of the building to
reducing openings on the south side.

HIGH RISE, CLIMATE RESPONSIVE FACADE
The main aim of this project was to encour-
age public interaction. Hence, the building
form has been designed in such a way that it
looks as if it’s opening up and merging into
the surroundings. The stepping up form
in addition to responding to
the climate of the site, also interacts at the
human scale. Ground floor of the building is
mostly left open to the public for recreation
and gathering.
BREAKOUT SPACES HAVE BEEN PRO-
VIDED AT EVERY FLOOR .
The first three floors of retail have been
recessed and cladded with glass to make
it more visually accessible and well-shaded.
The corridors on the outer periphery are
used as walkways looking into the shops.

floor, merging with the very public node,
metro station entry, and goes up till third floor.
The two towers are connected with
green areas providing hang out, circulation
and garden spaces. The circulation
through the building has been set in a
way that residents are unaffected by the
movement of people coming for offices.
The structural diagrid plays two functions
first, supporting the building and second,
acting as a protective skin/facade to the
building. Two different kinds of Facades
have been designed for the four faces.

aims to put together a comprehensive
volume that captures the traditional canon of
Brutalist architecture of the context and also
create a vertical city within the building. The
changing floor plans represent the dynamicity
of the area and Connaught Place, a sprawling
commercial hub located right beside the area.
The connecting spaces in the atrium
created in-between provide an interactive
platform for the people working in the
office. The building opens towards one
side to provide views to the interior
spaces thereby allowing light to enter
through all sides of the floor plate.

The idea was to make an unconventional
office space which breaks the notion of
verticality, by creating transitional spaces,
which lacks in a high rise building today.
Creating double high sky gardens at regular
intervals along with creepers running on
the structural members creates a pleasant
partition between spaces. This can also let in
day light and create a microclimate of its own
providing good breaks for the office users.
Vierendeel girders have been used, along
with cross bracings in between which
would keep the structure stable and
which would adhere to the charecter of
horizontality in the nature of spaces. All
of the above leading to creating a both
inward and outward looking spaces, making
it versatile for the users giving him/her
choice of experience depending on their
moods. The slanting facade towards the
street makes it work like a shading strategy
as well as to visually with the public in such
an urban context, which is important
for the building to function as an icon.

The concept is to derived from the

subtraction model i once made. the idea is to
make these green pockets which would result
from the subtractions from the main volume,
and then to follow a pattern and hierarchy
of subtractions. So for the users, a peacef
work environment is proposed which would
enhance their work efficiency. Like so every

The site is located in Gurugram. The
project brief was to design a mixed
used high rise building which actually
nowadays is a very important aspect
of sustainable development. The high
rise has major components of of-
fice spaces and the rest as a mix of
public, retail and service apartments.
This design is an attempt to meet
basic aspects of sustainability (eco-
nomical, environmental and social).

119 HIGH RISE, GURUGRAM

It has the basic concept of passive
design strategies such as orientation,
massing, shading devices, materials,
etc. to meet the needs of the ener-
gy conservation. The spaces are de-
signed in such a way that they pro-
voke and enhance the intetaction not
only inside the plot but also thinking
in terms of how it is connected to the
surroundings. In short, it is an an at-
tempt to make it a ‘Green Building’.

The design is taken up respecting
the site conditions which is mostly
muted in nature & their is no place
that can draw people in for public
gathering & interaction in the area,
so a form has been worked out that

Their is a natural instict of huiman

building & mystery as the tower
is enveloped by its flagelated form
creates a plaza like space for social
interaction & it also cuts people from
outside visually which let them feel
mysterious about the inside activities.
