Earthquake safety and Fire Protection:

● be so arranged that, except in a residential building, they can be reached without having to cross another occupied unit
● be free of obstruction
● be adequately illuminated
● be so located that the travel distance on the floor does not exceed the following limits:
○ Residential, educational, institutional and hazardous occupancies: 22.5 meters.
○ Assembly, business, mercantile, industrial and storage building: 30 metres.
○ Note: The travel distance to an exit from the dead end of a corridor shall not exceed half the distance specified above.
 STANDARDS

Notable Points:

● If total building area is more than 500 mts then 3mx5m space shall be kept aside for electrical service abutting access road
● If site area is more than 240 sq mts, rain water harvesting is compulsory

 STANDARDS

Two or more buildings on the site:

● For more than one building on a given site, the distance between the buildings shall be 1/2 the height of the tallest building, between the buildings under consideration.
● In case, two or more buildings with different heights are proposed on a single site, then setbacks shall be applied with reference to the tallest building.

Ramps:

● The slope of the ramp shall commence from 1.5 m of the edge of property line.
● Ramps for the physically challenged shall be provided in all Public buildings.

Projections:

Cantilever Portico of 3.0 m width (maximum) and 4.50 m length (maximum) may be permitted within the side setback. No access is permitted to the top of the portico to use it as a sit
out place and the height of the portico shall be not be less than 2.00 m from the plinth level. The portico is allowed only on the side where the setback/open space left exceeds 3.00
m width.
 SITE INFERENCES

Advantages: Disadvantages:

● Corner site: more points of entry
● Traffic junction - NE corner of the site, smaller roads (6m) -
pedestrians, bakery/tea stall, grocery store, vehicles and 2
wheelers
● Increasing number of residences - increased need for educational
institutions
● Bangalore Ring 3: more scope for development of locality
● Existing trees on site boundary: shelter belt and wind barrier
● Proximity to ORR: students can enroll from other localities
● Prevailing winds: can be utilised for building ventilation
● Possibility of road widening
● Crowd density towards shops
● Approximately 8-10m high trees
● Large tree cover, N side - noise and visual barrier
● Possibility of providing circulation for private pick up and drop off
● Chances of crowd density increasing due to students gathering at
the NE end - commercial spaces
● N side - Commercial and retail shops/mills selling construction
materials - congestion due to heavy duty vehicles, commotion,
noise, dust
● Many schools nearby: competition to stand out
● Proximity to ORR: students can enroll from other localities:
Provision of School Buses
● Narrow roads: difficulty in pick up and drop/circulation by school
buses
● Crowd density towards shops
● Bus stop within 2km radius, auto stands not present in immediate
context - accessibility?
● Light entering may not be affected due to built mass opposite the
site (E side)

SHELTER BELT
● Good cover for blocking
off noise
● especially noise coming
from the crossroads
● Provides shade in areas
with little to no shade
● Good green cover to look
out to
● Blocks winds advancing
towards the building to
an extent
NORTH LIGHT POSSIBLE DIVISION OF SPACES
● Design should try to take
in maximum diffused
light from north direction
● Otherwise, design should
utilise parts of the site
with seamless pockets of
light hitting the building
● Design could utilise
shaded areas near
shelterbelt to block harsh
sun.
SITE INFERENCES
NATURAL VENTILATION
● Position of built mass
must not oppose to the
wind flow of this area
● Design should allow
natural ventilation and
wind flow through
buildings
● Design should allow for
gaps/pockets of open
space between dense
building mass for this
purpose
● Reference axes drawn
after going through
dimensions and
orientation of the site.
● Could help with zoning of
the design.
 SITE INFERENCES

RAINWATER HARVESTING SETBACK AND BUILDABLE AREA

● About 1.1 m of difference Height of the Front, rear and

bldg (m) min to side setbacks
in contours. max (Min. in m)
● Slope of site from south
west to northeast. 11.5 - 15 5

● Suitable place for a 15 - 18 6

stormwater/rainwater pit
would be in the 18 - 21 7
northeastern part of site

COMMERCIAL CONTEXT POSSIBLE ENTRY POINTS

● Commercial area around ● Roads on both sides

site, mainly on the
northern side
● Both residential and
unused land in close
vicinity
● High levels of noise
coming from crossroads
● Narrow roads, heavy duty
vehicles, hinderance to
design
● Gives access and
provision to enter/exit
from two sides
● Design can allow for
segregation of school
and private means of
transportation.
● Possibility of road
widening

ZONING

1. Alternating spaces of built and unbuilt spaces throughout site

2. Playground placed at widest part of site for maximum spread
3. South light blocked from falling on a greater part of the
ground
4. Separation of blocks into Junior (secondary), Senior (main)
and amenities.
5. Open spaces and breaking of continuous play space with
respect to user group and timing.
6. Following axes lines (guides) and setback of site (in this
diagram, setback line (dashed) is taken as 8m, ie 2m more
than regulated).
7. Parking provision for private and school vehicles, near
possible points of entry/exit

 CONCEPT AND SPACES
AIDING CONCEPT

kind of space do you want?

● open spaces
● trying to get that horizontal connectivity with the
outside
● opening boundaries
● connecting spaces with each other though they are
on different places
● seamless flow, continuity
● No break and mental distances between different
departments/classes in child's mind
● Transparency

what spaces could be needed to achieve this?

● bridges
● atriums
● Courtyards
● cutout in slab
● terraces
● no walls unless required policy
● lots and lots of stairs
● double/triple heights
● module: one classroom=one unit
● podium
● indoor play area for kids
● sports inside building?
● rooftop basketball?
● stepped seating and common areas
● enter classroom from inside but have outside space
too,could increase slab area, but the number of
floors would have to increase
