Project Highlights A/3121/2018

INTRODUCTION- Site strategies, Vision and goals
The 75 acres site lies 40 kms away from the main
city of amritsar. The township focus on
sustainable development and balance. The aim
of the project is to design a township comprised
of various typologies that includes housing,
educational, commercial & community centre
and create a welcoming and healthy community.
Site Strategy
The site comes under
medium density zone,
and call for mixed use
development/ Compact
development
The aim is
● Efficient use of land and urban
containment
● Increased social interaction. It will also led
to the formation of a larger community.
● Less carbon Emission due to efficient and
compact development.
Strategy: Exploring the mix of social, function,
age group and income group which orms a
program that nurture wellness while
providing a sense of place and community.
Make
connection
with CONTEXT
As Revenue Roads are the routes
connecting site to the surrounding, hence Public Realm and Vocational centre with
the attempt is to located all the community facilities directly accessible from
community facilities around the Revenue Revenue Road.
road.
Vision Goal and strategies
The aim was to incorporate these blocks and learning instances into the spaces
Collaborative Learning
Spaces like workshops and studios are provided so as to enhance
collaborative learning among students. Some of the workshops are
accessible to the locals as well in an attempt to connect and
extend both the physical space and the learning opportunities from CONNECTION
the school’s students to the larger community.
Add to Enhance
Spaces like Exhibition hall is added in the area program to enhance the
work of the students done in the workshops. This will not only help in
building a culture of learning within and beyond the classroom but will
also give purpose and value to student's work . Moreover,
interaction of students within the community will lead to the
formation of a larger community with more awareness about their INTERACTION
culture and surroundings.
Grow Your Greens
Amritsar, being the land of rich fertile plain with many rivers and
an extensive irrigation canal system, makes the area a hub of
agricultural and horticulture practices. With vocational
programmes in this area and facilities available to grow organic
and fresh produce, people will not only be encouraged to adopt
healthy practices and thus a better lifestyle, it will also increase
engagement in the complex. ENGAGEMENT

Environmental Analysis
Shadow Range - June Shading Device Design
SOUTH Facade
On this façade, the harshest amount of sunlight is incident and hence
minimizing the direct sunlight coming in, in the summer from this facade
needs to be done via appropriately sized overhang. Overhang for these
windows is designed to absolutely nullify the amount of direct sunlight
10 AM 3 PM 5 PM entering through the windows.

Shadow Range - December

In this iteration, a recessed window is made to obtain the desired results. Window is
recessed by 700mm gives a Daylight Factor of 0-20%.
10 AM 3 PM 5 PM RECESS Window: B= 6500mm, H= 1300mm, Recess= 700mm

Radiation Analysis EAST Facade

This façade has sunlight incident on it when the temperatures are low in the
morning and hence is welcomed inside. However The facade needs to be
completely shaded post noon.

Solar Summer- South West

In this iteration, in order to shade the window from 10a.m. to noon, an

overhang of 600mm depth is added along with the vertical shade.
Solar Winter- South West

Focus Area
Chosen - FOCUS AREA 1
This Focus Area cuts through a number of major programs of the
FOCUS AREA 1 building. A key aspect which i would like to explore would be the
connecting bridges and their construction detail. The Focus Area shows
a major portion of the circulation and the idea of a collaborative space
between students and Community.
Also the Requisite HVAC facilities, the system where also included in this
focus area.The chosen focus area includes spaces, skybridges, and
building envelope.

Identification of the FOCUS AREA

Identification of the focus area must be a carefully conceived
judicious dependent on a number of components. The Key to
opening the one which best explains a design schematic lies in the
understanding of the design directives driving the design.
Collaboration, tectonics, and services are all crucial points to be
kept in mind while designing a building.
