•Situated within a 100-acre university campus, the main administration offices along with an auditorium, seminar halls, library &
cafeteria form the functions of this building.
•As opposed to creating an imposing edifice, the building gradually steps up from the approach direction belying its 20 meter
height.
•Situated in a hot arid region, the design aims to minimize heat gain, by orienting all classrooms & facilities to the north.
Individual blocks branch off a curvilinear spine punctuated with open spaces creating wind tunnels & eliminating the need for
air-conditioning, making the building energy efficient.
•Natural light permeates the internal spaces through the day minimizing artificial lighting. Designed contextually taking
cognizance of the climate the building is both economical & sustainable.

LOBBY CONNECTED BRIDGE

• The common facilities like food court, an auditorium and the administrative offices are located on the ground floor for easy access. The various library
components are located on the first floor connected by a bridge over the diagonal indoor street cutting across the building. The common classrooms
occupy the second floor deriving light and ventilation from the various sectional volumes and open courts. These open courts act as the spill over area
for recreational activities. The third floor houses the tiered classrooms. The fourth floor houses all the administrative and faculty related facilities.
• The east, west and southern sides of the building are enveloped with a ventilated brick screen to mitigate heat gain in response to the climate.
• The Prestige University is contextual to the climate of its location creating an energy efficient building that in addition to housing numerous activities,
also becomes a large open public space with accessible ground floor and landscaped roof.
• The building is a series of interactive spaces of different scales fostering engagement at various levels amongst the users as well as integrating
functional and open landscaped areas intrinsically.

solar energy sources that are pollution-free. All excess power will be delivered back to the national grid.
 The GCI Building also represents the first Australian use of structural Geopolymer concrete, a low-carbon product
produced with significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than conventional concrete.
 The building has been designed to work with the natural environment and will operate as a zero energy and carbon
neutral workplace.
 The building moves away from a framework of consumption of the world’s resources to one that contributes to the
restoration and regeneration of the environment.
 It will also act as a live research site, with the building systems and occupants used to assess optimal comfort conditions
in low-energy buildings for the sub-tropics.
 The building features an operable sun shading system that tracks the sun and protects the glass louvers which
encourage natural ventilation. The air flows across occupied spaces to the central atrium which acts as the building’s
lungs, discharging warm air through its thermal chimney.
 The translucent ETFE atrium roof allows natural light into the interior while insulating from the sun’s heat. Optimal natural
lighting is supported by environmentally friendly Led lighting.
 The building is cooled with chilled water flushed through the exposed sculptural precast floor panels. Rainwater storage
of 60,000 litres services the hydronic cooling system, kitchen and shower. SECTION B

SITE DETAILS AND ANALYSIS
Site location:
Neemrana, Rajasthan, India
Site area: 1,65,380 M2
Topography: Sandy and loamy sand. The soil is often
sandy in texture, with relatively low water-holding capacity
and organic matter content. They have good drainage
but can be susceptible to erosion.
Landmarks nearby:
 Paradise water park
 Flying fox Neemrana
 Bawdi deep water step-well
 Vasudev restaurant
Site surroundings:
North- Wheat farm land
East- Farm land and resi-commercial buildings
West- Neemrana hills
South- Golden quadrilateral highway
Climate:
 Summers (April to June): Summer average temperature
40°C (104°F). The nights are relatively cooler.
 Monsoon (July to September): Low to moderate amount of
rainfall, with an average annual precipitation ranging from
100 to 400 millimeters (4 to 16 inches).
 Post-Monsoon (October and November): A transitional
period with decreasing rainfall and gradually decreasing
temperatures. The weather becomes more pleasant during
this time.
Winters (December to February): Winters are generally cool

and pleasant during the daytime, with temperatures
ranging from 10 to 25°C (50 to 77°F).At night temperatures
drops to around 0-5°C (32-41°F) in some parts of the state,
especially in the desert areas.
 Pre-Monsoon (March): March marks the onset of summer in
Rajasthan, with temperatures starting to rise gradually.
Connectivity:
Beh Road Bus Terminal is at a distance
of 17KM from the site.
Ajaraka Railway Station is at a distance
of 18KM from the site.
Indira Gandhi International Airport is at
a distance of 100KM from the site.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
 The site lies on the Golden Quadrilateral, linking major Indian
cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.
 Tourists are drawn to the nearby Neemrana Fort leading to
increased human interaction.
 Industrial zones, including the EPIP (Export Promotion
Industrial Park), developed by the Rajasthan government in
Neemrana, are enhancing trade and fostering regional
development.
 Neemrana offers a lively atmosphere with varied attractions
such as historical landmarks , zip-lining, adventure sports, and
water parks.
 Situated next to a hillock on the foothills of Aravali, the site
enjoys a refreshing west-to-east breeze.
 The hillock acts as a barrier against heat from the western
side, providing respite.
Site Airstream Study
WEAKNESSES
 During summer, the temperature can soar up to 44 degrees
Celsius with low humidity.
 Due to the Golden Quadrilateral, there is no direct road
crossing for vehicles. Junction points are located quite far
from the site, requiring vehicles to travel approximately 9
kilometers to reach the site from the opposite side of the
road.
 Local vehicles on the service lane tend to travel at high
speeds.
OPPORTUNITIES
 The minimal contours of the land will result in cost-effective
construction.
 Easy transportation of advanced cost effective materials are
facilitated by the proximity of the capital city, Delhi, which is
only 144 kilometers away.
 There is abundant space available for future development.
Sun Study
THREATS
 Widening the road in the future may disturb the site.
 A vicious, hot, dusty wind blows from the west, posing health
risks such as heat strokes.
 Underground water may be vacant in the future.
 Dry and hot climate may arid the landscape.

CONCEPT
The site is located in
Neemrana, Rajasthan. The
layout of Neemrana is like
most of the old Rajasthani
towns being organic and
having interesting character.
SITE
 Taking a cue from the old town streets of Neemrana,
crave to design low rise twisted blocks of the project
across the site creating an organic layout, along with
the landscape and individual spaces.
 The layout evokes the
organic nature of old
Rajasthani town with
garden spaces.
 The blocks’ circulation
spines will be angled
along their length.
