ABSTRACT
Still and Motion picture are the third eye of a society. Where our everyday life‟s, very
known scenario changed instantly. It gives us new message, thoughts, hopes and
become the voice of the nation.

Not only, a media of art, it is also becoming two leading profession of Bangladesh,
with the boom of printing and visual media. But, there are not sufficient or up to the
mark quality institution to trained them. That‟s why; we are seeing many non-
government institutions like, “pathshala” “chobial” “rangmistri”. But the required
education becomes so expensive, that most of the students cannot effort it.

And, here comes the role of the government universities, where everyone can get
equal education at all most free of cost. If there is a department in the university,
especially in Comilla University, the future growing city of Bangladesh, then it would
boost up these two professions and would produce some brilliant artist for sure.

This institute will held 4th year graduation course for the students and
the courses too. Landscape studio, daylight studio, classrooms, out-doors spaces
and common spaces are the main attraction for this project. This project will be the
place for the society and place for the students by maintaining their privacy
properly.

1.2 PROJECT BACKGROUND


Photography is an international language spoken by all. It is recognized as a
popular means of communications but it is still developing in Bangladesh.

The tales of the daily life of Bangladeshi people dominant a great part of their art
form in perspective of their living style. Even form the prehistoric days, the women of
the families practiced art in “Nakshikatha”, where they express their day to day living
in a fantastic artistic manner and photography is one of the finest artistic ways to
capture and tell our everyday living, Struggle, Joy and achievements. And that is
why, from the very beginning of photography, in early 1960, it gain its popularity in
this nation.

A few years back, Mr. M.A. beg has, through individual efforts established “Beg art
Institute of photography” In Dhaka, which was the first photographic institute of
Bangladesh. Thus, the photographic society also started to form.

From the very first, with the film like, “padda nodir majhi”, “ora egaro jon”, “jibon
theke neya”, “aguner poroshmoni”, “titash ekti nodir naam”, cinematography gain
very popularity among the people of Bangladesh. Jahir Rayhan, Chashi nazrul Islam,
sotto saha etc. are very famous director of the early history of cinematography.
Then in 21 century there came videography, which was easy to learn, and because
of the advance technological help, one videographer can go beyond, and
achieve what he wants. And all because of these, new generation choose this
media. And because of very easy post production and editing, previous generation
of cinematography also shifted to videography or digital filming.

1.3 PROJECT INTRODUCTION


The Institution would contain and enhance photography and videography related
studies and technology. This institution would play a vital role in this sector and also
with a fully equipped lab and studio which would also help the students to make
their own film and photographic publication. And with the full phased digital movie
auditorium and photo exhibition center they could exhibit there works in public and
earn some extra money for their future career. And also this whole sit of facilities
would be rented to the professionals; the earned revenue would be used for
student‟s welfare and to continue their practical works and to buy new equipment‟s.

1.1.1 Client
BANGLADESH PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY (BPS)
Bangladesh photographic society (BPS) was founded in 1976 by few dedicated
senior and experienced photographers with a mission to organize practicing
professional and amateur photographer in Bangladesh. Under the dynamic
leadership of Manzoor Alam Bag, a photo maestro and most successful mentor. BPS
took off with great achievements like recognition and acceptance as the country
member of world body FIAP (The International Federation of Photographic Art) BPS
has emerged as a federation having fifteen photographic organization all over the
9

country.

1.4 AIM OF THE PROJECT


 The key aspect of the project is to research and set an ideal curriculum for
properly study photography and videography.
 To make and established photography and videography as a profession,
which is by default for recent circumstances become an appealing
profession.
 To research, published books and make different kind of videos (short film,
documentary, digital film etc.) and help the new talented people give a
platform.
 People who are already established in this area, or took it as a profession,
give them further training, and certified them academically.

1.5 WHY I CHOOSE THE PROJECT

Because of the recent boom in print and visual media, these two sectors create a
huge amount of jobs both freelance and in institution in Bangladesh. But yet there
are neither enough institutions nor curriculums to train them properly. So I feel the
need of development in this sector a standard institute with all modern facilities
available under one roof. It will help one to gain more knowledge in the field.

1.6 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT


 Create photography & videography professionals of excellence through a
common platform.
 Uphold our modern industry.
 Promote awareness on different creative & innovative field through
workshop & training facility.
 Encouraging indigenous creative solutions by focusing on affordable
creative ideas for the mass people.
 To make an environment of exchanging creative knowledge and
ideas.
 To create and promote creative confidence among students through
classes, seminars, practice, exhibition etc.

LITERATURE REVIEW

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE

2.1 HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY


The word photography comes from two ancient Greek words: photo, for "light," and
graph, for "drawing." "Drawing with light" is a way of describing photography.

The first time the word "photography" was used was in 1839, the year the invention of
the photographic process was made public, by Sir John Herschel. It could be said
that photography was not “invented “but that it evolved over time.

The Chinese were the first people that we know of to write about the basic idea of
the pinhole camera or "camera obscura" (Latin words meaning "dark room").About
2,500 years ago (5th Century B.C.) they wrote about how an image was formed
upside down on a wall from a pinhole on the opposite wall.

Fig 2.1.1: Pinhole

The camera obscura was used in the painting of this picture. It was painted about 1660 by
Jan van der Meer van Delft (aka Jan Vermeer). His paintings are known for their "camera-
like" detail and quality - but were painted 150 years before the invention of the camera.

"View from the Window at Le Gras,


France"
The birth of photography happened in
1826 when a French scientist, Joseph
Nicephore Niepce, put a plate coated
with bitumen (an asphalt Used in
ancient times as a cement or mortar) in
a camera obscura. He put the camera
obscura facing his house for eight hours
and made a photograph. It is the
earliest camera photograph that we still
have today. Here is that first photograph Fig 2.1.3: View from the Window at Le Gras,
France by Joseph Nicephore Niepce

2.2 HISTORY OF VIDEOGRAPHY


Videography is a process of capturing moving images and storing it into Electronic
storage devices, like hard discs, videotapes. The word combines video from Latin
meaning I see or I apprehend, with the Greek terminal ending graph, meaning. The
term is similar in many ways to cinematography but differs from it in terms of storage
where it uses film stock instead of electronic media.

2.2.1 Birth of “motion” pictures


Leland Stanford unwittingly started a chain of events
that contributed to the development of motion
pictures. To settle a wager regarding the position of
a trotting horse's legs, he sent for Edward Muybridge
a British Photographer who had recently been
acclaimed for his photographs of Yosemite.
Videography is a process of capturing moving
images and storing it into Electronic storage devices,
like hard discs, videotapes.

The word combines video from Latin meaning I see


or I apprehend, with the Greek terminal ending
graph, meaning. The term is similar in many ways to
cinematography but differs from it in terms of
storage where it uses film stock instead of electronic
media. Although Muybridge initially considered the
task impossible, he made history when he arranged
12 cameras alongside a race track. Each was fitted
with a shutter working at a speed he claimed to be Fig 2.2.1: Edward Muybridge
"less than the two-thousandth part of a second."
Strings attached to electric switches were stretched
across the track; the horse, rushing past, breasted
the strings and broke them, one after the other; the
shutters were r eleased by an electromagnetic
13

control, and a series of negatives made

Fig 2.2.2: Photograph of Edward Muybridge

Though the photographs were hardly more than silhouettes, they clearly showed
that the feet of the horse were all off the ground at one phase of the gallop.
Moreover, to the surprise of the world, the feet were bunched together under the
belly. None of the horses photographed showed the "hobbyhorse attitude" - front
legs stretched forward and hind legs backward -so traditional in painting. The photos
were widely published in America and Europe. The Scientific American printed
eighteen drawings from Muybridge's photographs on the first page of its October 19,
1878 issue. Readers were invited to paste the pictures on strips and to view them in
the popular toy
known as the zoetrope, a precursor of motion pictures. It was an open drum
with slits in its side, mounted horizontally on a spindle so it could be twirled.
Drawings showing successive phases of action placed inside the drum and
viewed through the slits were seen one after the other, so quickly that the
images merged in the mind to produce the illusion of motion.
In 1880, using a similar technique with a device he named the zoo-gyroscope,
or zoopraxiscope, Muybridge projected his pictures on a screen at the
California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco." Motion pictures were born.

2.3 HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY


INSTITUTION OF BANGLADESH
Photography is one of the finest artistic ways to
capture and tell our everyday living, Struggle,
Joy and achievements. And that is why, from
the very beginning of photography, in early
1960, it gain its popularity in this nation. Then,
Mr. M.A. beg has, through individual efforts
established “Beg art Institute of photography”
In Dhaka, which was the first photographic
institute of Bangladesh. Thus, the photographic
society also started to form.

Then one of the students of BEG ART


Fig 2.3.1: Beg art institute
INSTITUTE Shahidul Alam, start a
Photography library called, DRIK
PICTURE LIBRARY. DRIK Picture library and exhibition center: DRIK, meaning inner
vision, philosophy of vision is a picture library with a difference. Established in 1989, in
the Dhaka city, capital of Bangladesh. It is dedicated to presenting third world
photography striving to create an alternate image of Bangladesh and that of third
world nations. The library was small only about 6000 images but is rapidly growing,
with wide range of subjects in both black and white and color. Then, they build, DRIK
GALLERY.

2.3.1 DRIK Gallery

Though the Drik Gallery was opened in August 1993 with the first showing
of World Press Photo in Bangladesh, there is a story behind the scenes. We
were in the midst of a massive democratic movement in the late eighties. On the
streets, through curfews and through tear gas, we were documenting events in their
entirety. Throughout this period, the major galleries, either state owned or belonging
to foreign embassies, were not prepared to exhibit our work, since it was 'political'.
We knew we had to build our own gallery. The first ever staging of World Press
provided the perfect opportunity. We gathered our resources and built what is now,
one
15

of the finest galleries in South Asia and the largest private gallery in
Page

Bangladesh. The gallery, split into two levels (on the first and second floor of the
building), has permanent wall space measuring 446 running feet. Its total floor area is
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE

2,796 square feet. Then after a while, they start a full phased photography learning
institute named “Pathsala” and which later also cover videography sector.

Fig 2.3.2: DRIK Gallery

2.3.2 The South Asian Institute of Photography

Located at 16, Panthapath. West Dhanmondi. Dhaka. Pathshala, The South Asian
Institute of Photography is considered by many to be the one of the finest schools of
photography in the world. Students interact with a
star studded visiting faculty of some of the finest professionals in the world. Students
of
Pathshala have gone on to win the National Geographic All Roads Awards, Joop
Swart Masterclass and the Young Reporters award at Perpignan. It is the
educational wing of Drik Picture Library Ltd. Bangladeshi photographer, writer and
activist Shahidul Alam is the founder principal of Pathshala. The name Pathshala
comes from the ancient education system that prevailed in South Asia. It brings to
mind classes held underneath a large tree; conjuring up learning spaces without
walls, in the cool shade of its leaves. The South Asian Institute of Photography not
only allows students to explore the world of image making but provides them
opportunities to question beyond the confines of the discipline. The conceptual
absence of classroom walls enables 1st year students and 3rd year students to
attend the same classes and work together on collaborative projects together with
visiting faculty. This enhances and complements each student's learning experience.
The institute started in 1998 in conjunction with a three-year World Press Photo
educational initiative. It was launched to coincide with the Dhaka's annual WPP
exhibition. This exhibition was also replicated in other countries like Peru, Bosnia and
Zimbabwe. This initiative of WPP and Drik Picture Library Ltd, was supported by The
British Council, The Thomson Foundation and Panos South Asia. Since then, Pathshala
has slowly grown to become a fully-fledged educational wing of Drik, a socially
conscious photo resource center also based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The first group of
six students is now among prominent photographers whose photographs have been
published in some of the leading publications worldwide. In January 2010 Pathshala
decided to be extended to other sectors of the media, namely broadcast, print and
multimedia journalism. At the same time Pathshala decided to change its name to
South Asian Media Academy to reflect the development. The launching of the new
16

Media Academy took place on Monday, 22 March, 2010 by opening a new

department on broadcast and multimedia journalism.


PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE

2.3.3 Videography
From the very first, with the film like, “padda nodir majhi”, “ora egaro jon”,
“jibon theke neya”, “aguner poroshmoni”, “titash ekti nodir naam”,
cinematography gain very popularity among the people of Bangladesh. Jahir
Rayhan, chashi nazrul Islam, sotto saha, are very famous director of the early history
of cinematography. But later it declined its popularity due to lack of talented
directors, story line, low qualities films and lack of modern of technologies. And the
main reasons were it is gradually become expansive, it required a certain amount of
time to learn to handle this technology, and there are not many institution to teach
this media, in Bangladesh. Then there came videography, which was easy to learn,
just with a video film coder anyone start can this career. And also post production
and editing are very easy. And so, especially new generation moved towards,
videography or digital film technology, and in almost by self-learning this alternative
media grow, and it spread out informally by one people to another.

2.4 CAREER DIVERSITIES OPPORTUNITY FROM

METHODOLOGY

31
Page
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE

4.1 METHODOLOGY
The term methodology generally refers the way a system will go on. In broader
sense method means a series of process to doing any kind of work. And
methodology refers the system of doing the work. So, it is a philosophical system
or procedure to collecting and analyzing data. In all kinds of research this
process or system is very much important. As methodology is the systematic
procedure or technique in which various stages or steps of collecting data or
information are explained and the analytical techniques are defined. So it is
very important consideration in this type of project.

4.2 DESIGN PROPOSAL


I laid my interest in designing the, “Photography & videography institute,” at Comilla
university, Comilla in Bangladesh. On the account of the completion of a successful
thesis, I tried my best to collect all the relevant information from indigenous and
international sources.

4.3 LITERATURE SURVEY


The prospect of “Photography & videography institute” has already changed a
form the prior indigenous manner; though the conception of a full-fledged Institute
of its being is a new subject in Bangladesh. Understandably, it was difficult to
determine the program, space allocations and overall the expression as a whole
complex. The information from the indigenous sources, especially from our country,
are not sufficient. For this, I was vastly dependent on internet to collect all the
relevant information. To gather further information, I personally met some people
who are largely regarded as the pioneers of this sector.

4.3.1 Case study

Case study means the relevant type of study that a researcher intended to conduct,
influences a researcher to implement any ideas or techniques that have been
applied anywhere else. This helps a researcher to improve someone's ideas.
Sometimes researcher innovate anything to their own context while other
implemented that idea in different region is different, then it will be automatically
changed. Some relevant case studies have been studied to strengthen this
revitalization study.

However, during the data collection it has been considered to ensure maximum
authenticity of data. Depending on permissibility and availability of sources, all the
collected data have been verified and cross-cheeked in the field. It has been
neglected if detected errors are found minor. During the field survey work, the
community leaders have been purposively interviewed for recording their views and
opinions.
32

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE

4.4 DATA COLLECTION


Data collection is one of the most important parts for this kind of project and it
requires some stages. For my project secondary source is very important to collect
data and it covers the maximum portion. And then primary source of data help me
to find out the essence project.

4.4.1 Primary sources

Primary source of data is very important to understand current condition of research


problem. Primary data is collected on the basis of objectives. On the other hand it
depends on the secondary source of data because all time secondary source is not
sufficient then primary source is the only way to find out.

4.4.2 Secondary sources


It has also got a significant look in the research study. Sometimes or usually it
becomes impossible for a researcher to collect all information from the primary
sources within a short period of time. Various newspapers, magazines, dissertations,
journals, reports, are data source.

4.5 PROGRAM FORMULATION


The methodology of program formulation of a new conception like a design
institute is a very complicated and intricate process. This very project is related
to local demands as well as to the global demands and issues. This entire
correlation, which is to be embedded with new functions and purpose needs
a very detailed and deliberate case study. To understand the detail program
I mainly depend on case study, foreign institute and their working and exposing
tendency.

5.2.8. Lecture classroom

5.2.8.1. General Requirements for All Classrooms Design

1. Sufficient space is needed near the front of the room for setting up audiovisual
equipment, such as projection screens and charts.
2. Ceilings should be a maximum of 9' ft. high.
3. Light from windows should, if possible, come over a pupil's left shoulder. No
teacher should be required to face the windows when addressing the class from the
normal teaching position.
4. Ceilings and/or walls should be acoustically treated.
5. Floors should have a cushioning material.

5.2.8.2 Location

The classroom should have as quiet a location as possible, away from noisy outdoor
Areas. Ease of access to specialized facilities outside the academic unit should be
ensured.

5.2.8.3 Light Control

Color films, television, and slides are becoming more and more widely used.
Darkening curtains or light-tight blinds should be provided for light control in all
teaching areas. The architect should give careful consideration to the problem of
48

darkening clerestories, skylights, and other sources of light. Consideration might be


given to the type of venetian blinds that ride in side channels and are easier to
Page

operate and to clean than other blinds.

5.2.9 Studio design

5.2.9.1 Ideal studio design

There are a few "ideal" ratios of room height, width, and length that professional
studio designers agree should be used if possible. Three of these ratios, developed
by L.W. Sepmeyer, are shown in Table,

Table: The ideal room has a ratio of height, width, and length similar to one of these.

There are other good ratios, but those shown above are the ones I see referenced
most often. Note that when a room has a suspended tile ceiling the real height, as
far as low frequencies are concerned, is to the solid surface above the tiles. Likewise,
in a basement with exposed joists the true height is to the bottom of the floor above,
not the bottom of the joists. Small rooms > Height=1, length=1.6, width=1.25. In other
words, to build a small music studio, the ceiling should be 10 feet, the width 12 ½ feet
and the length 16 feet. Using these dimensions, with non-parallel walls, floor and
ceiling, and with a good amount of full range acoustical treatment, you will have a
fine small studio. When choosing dimensions for a studio or evaluating an existing
design, it is imperative to have major dimensions that are not related to each other.
Even with non-parallel surfaces this is extremely important. Related dimensions
produce resonances or peaks in a room's response. Related dimensions are
devisable by each other, or a root number. In other words, a room with a ten foot
ceiling height that is 20 feet wide and 30 feet long will, predictably have standing
49

waves, flutter echo's and will not be suitable for a recording studio. Related
dimensions produce a hang-over effect at critical
Page

frequencies.

5.2.9.2 Recording room


A recording studio is a facility for sound recording and mixing. Ideally both the
recording and monitoring spaces are specially designed by an acoustician to
achieve optimum acoustic properties. The typical recording studio consists of a
50

room called the "studio" or "live room", where instrumentalists and vocalists perform;
and the "control room", where sound Fig: 5.2.23: Artificial

specialized software suites to manipulate and route the sound for analogue or

to accommodate loud instruments.

6.1.3 Context
Historical background
“This building is dedicated to the children of India” .
-30% of the country‟s population is illiterate. This problem is addressed by such
governmental Institutions as the C.I.E.T.
- (12-15) % of the population of India is Muslim, a larger number than in neighboring
Bangladesh & Pakistan.
-Muslim girls confined to home & not attending school, audio & video cassettes can
serve as teaching aids at home and the institute send teachers as well.
-The institute provides facilities for training teachers and its objectives are:
development of software, personnel training, conducting research & evaluation,
and disseminating information.
-C.I.E.T. is funded through the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) by
62

UNDP/UNESCO/ UNICEF.
Page

-C.I.E.T. programs are telecast daily for children between the age groups of 5-8 & 9-
11 years.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE

6.1.4 Program telecasting system

-They are telecast in morning for 3 hours, 6 days a week during 300 school days a
year, including the summer vacation and are presented in 5 local languages on a
time sharing basis (45 minutes per language).
-Saturday programs are for teachers.
-C.I.E.T. has trained nearly 600 specialists working in the network of institutions for
educational technology. With 5000 books in its library, C.I.E.T. produced 1000 audio
& 8000 video programs and its activity is unique & has tremendous social impact.

6.1.5 Influences, Derivations and Features

Cities of Rajasthan and Some from North India have an Impact on Raj Rewal as he
seems to have devised his Ideologies from them. And it is exemplified by his various
projects.
The Urban spaces like plazas, market places, streets, clusters, etc. have been
thought with respect to Rajasthan in terms of solids and voids in Jaiselmer in Indian
context and merged with his projects

6.1.7 Roof terraces

- Roof terraces are an essential component of the lifestyle of north Indian cities.
- They provide welcome outdoor space during the summer nights in the dry, hot
climate when the interior rooms receive the heat absorbed.
- Also provide an extension to living areas at upper levels during the sunny “winter‟
days when interior rooms can be cold.
- Private roof terraces and courtyards are an integral design component in Indian
architecture.

6.1.9 Story of the tree in courtyard

-Raj Rewal decided to preserve this tree as a starting point for whole idea and
composition of the building.
-The “saved” traditional tree provides shade for pupils & soften the courtyard.
- Also focused on the texture of the tree in the time of seasonal changes, which may
gives new life & different flavor to the courtyards.

-The existing tree in the courtyard is a focal point for
activities.
-The courtyard conception of “madrasa”, a
traditional Islamic school.
-the courtyards provide the C.I.E.T. interiors with
diffused light and make their natural ventilation very effective.

Evolution of courtyard

As stated by Raj Rewal, the Concept for this Exhibition Complex has been
Derived from Humayun‟s Tomb, an Attempt to Interpret as to how the
Statement might have been translated into the Master Plan. Differentiating
Singular major space from the cluster such that their access points that are
linked through pathways may envelope a common space for community.

- The courtyard topology madrasa character.


Shaded courtyard or deep verandah helps good ventilation and this deep shaded
Places cools the surrounding air and ventilation.
- Courtyards at various levels and an amphitheater in the main courtyard.
Which form a series of open spaces that collectively offer a unique opportunity for
discussion groups, theater and an amphitheater in the main courtyard and even
educational film making.
- All this open, semi-open places creates idle places for nurturing creativities.
This institute also a great example to show in this kind of study, nature plays a vital
role.
- The courtyard and internal surface are treated as the public realm.
These places are also very favorite among the youth generation.
- Most the class room at the outer edge
Which formed of circulation spaces on all levels and modulated of create semi-
open
spaces, sitting alcoves and terrace, thereby further reinforcing a public a public

6.3.2 Location

Fig-: 6.3.1 Location

6.3.3 Project introduction

Jawahar kala Kendra is an arts and crafts center located in the city of Jaipur.
The center is important not because of the nomenclature but its close association
with the city of Jaipur itself.
The center was built in the year 1986 and the construction completed in 1991.
The center was launched by the state government to provide space to the cultural
and spiritual values of India and display the rich craft heritage.
The center is dedicated to the late prime minister of India jawaharlal Nehru.
The center has been made in the nine blocks housing museums, theatres, library,
art display room, cafeteria, administration and studio
Each unit is different from the other with the use of different materials and the
presence, each of the planets is expressed by its traditional symbol inlaid in white
marble
80
Page
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE

6.3.4 Concept

The center is an analogue of the original city pian of Jaipur drawn up by the
maharaja, a scholar, mathematician and astronomer, jai Singh the second, in the
mid-17th century.
His city plan, guided by the shipla shastras, was based on the ancient Vedic
madala of nine squares or houses which represent the nine planets (including two
imaginary ones ketu and rahu).
Due to the presence of a hill one of the squares was transposed to the east and
two of the squares were amalgamated to house the palace.

The plan of Jaipur city is based on nine square yantra in which one square is
displaced and two central squares are combined

Correa's plan for the Kendra invokes directly the original navagraha or nine house
mandala.
One of the squares is pivoted to recall the original city plan and also to create the
entrance.
The plan of Jaipur city based on the nine square yantra in which one square is
displaced and two central squares combined. The squares is defined by 8m high
wall, symbolic of the fortification wall along the Jaipur old city

6.3.5 Response to climate –

Material: red sandstone and white marble


-vastu symbols on facade of each unit
-small punctures on walls for ventilation
-light shafts have step profiles with marble capping
-smaller openings
-light shafts at corner of each unit
-central courtyard to bring in light and air.

Each square was linked to the planet


as per the characteristics of the
particular planet and its astrological
values and the functionality of the
square.
This Navgrah concept with its energy
values their favorable color, quality
and the favorable functionality to the
each planet with square kept in mind
while designing and allocation of
spaces.
Partly open courtyards and the
traditional design elements of
Rajasthan have been incorporated in
the complex.
The landscaping was also done
as per planets astrological values
in the whole complex in each
square wherever was required

Sandarbh Library

The whole complex in itself has a


unique design & concept in the
architectural industry, the concept of
nine squares as „Navgrah‟.
Each square was linked to the planet
as per the characteristics of the
particular planet and its astrological
values and the functionality of the
square.
This particular square was linked with
„Jupiter‟ the characteristics were
matched in such a way
Linked planet „Jupiter‟

Favorable color

As and when the square was representing


The planet „Jupiter‟ the astrological value
was kept in consideration. The favorable
Color of this planet was lemon yellow so
the square was treated with yellow color
in the external finishing and the water body
was added in the partially open area to
make the environment more lively.

Play with light and shadow

The second most significant feature which


was been adopted in this particular square
was the spectacular play with the light and
the shadow. As the square was
partially open to sky and the particular
side had the full height glazing in it the
partial open roof was treated with the
architectural feature „pergolas‟.
The cut out was designed in such a way
that the corridor will
always remain in
Shade and has the
pond in corner
which
would reduce the
effect of the harsh
sun to
The library.

Use of local material

The spanning between beams was


designed and kept such that the local
material available like wooden bamboo
sticks could be used to complete the
entire space frame.

the central open theatre and


the best part of it were the
stepped platforms which could
be used as seating areas. The
same were surrounded by the
8m high walls and the design
stepping was incorporated in
the corners of two walls to
make them more interacted to
each other.
The stepping and the walls
