segregation of the institution means that there is very
little interaction between the students and faculty of the
various departments. The resource of the institute can not
be utilized fully. In the planning building itself , the
location of the studios and the faculty areas is such that
one does not get to know about other studios on their

mandatory as the proposed site falls at the edge of south central ridge. Apart from
regulations, there are height restrictions as the proposed site lies in the flight path of
Delhi International Airport.

ANSAL SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE ,
LUCKNOW Architect : AR NITIN GOEL
DESIGN ISSUES
Ansal Technical Campus (ATC) is a private, self financed and co-educational institution
was established in the year 2012 sponsored by Sushil Ansal Foundation (SAF). It is
affiliated to Gautam Budh Technical University, Lucknow. It is approved by AICTE and
MHRD, New Delhi. It is recognized by UP Board of Technical Education, State
Government of UP.
LOCATION APPROACH
The campus is located in Sector C, Pocket Ansal Technical Campus is situated at the prestigious Sushant Golf

spread over an area of 14 acres land.
LUCKNOW CLIMATE
Lucknow has a humid subtropical climate with cool, dry winters from mid-
November to February and dry, hot summers with thunderstorms from late
March to June.
STRUCTURE
The complete department is a temporary structure made out of steel frames with
gypsum board paneling . The roof is a pitched roof throughout . The structure acts
well as a thermal insulator and provides high scope for renovations and
repositioning . But it lacks aesthetic appeal or any beauty .
PLANNING
The planning is done around courtyards . The concept of spacious environment has been kept
in mind . Court yards are landscaped and use as the major interactive spaces . Major mass or
major part of the surface of the building are on the north and south direction. The courtyards
improve ventilation and lightens up the studio environment and increase interaction and
increases sense of freedom.

concrete exterior as ugly, some say the interior could serve as a
model for a university that lacks central social spaces . The
building shows a different kind of an approach to the design of a

have contributed to the unusual design solution . This building
contrasts a great deal to CEPT and gives a technically advanced
solution for the design of an Architectural school.
It’s a remarkable building by John Andrew , symbolizing new direction of looking inward , it opens a

STRUCTURE
The building is basically of reinforced
concrete with flat slab construction .
System of tubular steel truss forms a
free spanning roof .
DESIGN FEATURES
For its own students, the building gathers all studies in to one open integrated
environment.
The organization of the building is simple. Faculty and seminar rooms wrap around the
sides of the studios with a lounge and a terrace common to both.
The studios on all floor are open to each other, each studio storey overlapping the one
beneath tucked under the one above. Horizontal and vertical stacking was avoided to give
students a platform for interaction. The staggered studios have a great tubular truss
spanning 125 feet grid.
The structure of the building is in R.C.C,25 feet grid. The building is a grand system of
structure , services and light.
The building as a whole sets an example for a new kind of communication in education.
Gund Hall offers students a stimulating environment in which to work, including studio and office areas
for approximately 500 students and more than 100 faculty and staff; lecture and seminar rooms;
workshops and darkrooms; an audio visual center; computer facilities; a cafeteria; a project room; Piper
Auditorium; and the Frances Loeb Library. The yard area is used for basketball, volleyball, picnics; as an
exhibition area for class projects; and as the setting for commencement ceremonies. The central studio
space extends through five levels under a stepped, clear-span roof that admits natural light and
provides views toward Boston. The dramatic facade and extensive glass surfaces make an eloquent
statement about the design excellence and professional creativity for which the school is known. Some
administrative offices and offices for doctoral students, plus seminar rooms, are located opposite Gund
Hall at 7 Sumner Road.
