 SYNOPSIS

AIM- To analyze and understand the essential architectural design qualities of space in a college of architecture and to design the
college of Architecture & Planning.

OBJECTIVES

•To understand spaces through case studies and data analysis.

•To carefully design spaces so as to bring about interaction among the students and teachers and make the building an ideal
place for education.
•It should ensure an environment suitable for moulding young designers of good quality.
•The design should have enough freedom so that it can keep itself away from external pressure.
•The design should have no feeling of restriction for the exchange of ideas and the faculty and the students should have
freedom to teach and learn anywhere apart from classrooms.
•To establish an attitude of life long learning, to prepare professionals with ethical standards based on genuine concern for
improving the quality of life for individual and society.
1.3 REASON FOR SELECTION OF PARTICULAR TOPIC

As an architecture student I feel that the school where an architecture student spends 5 most valuable years of his life studying has
a direct influence on his career.
Intelligence, creativity, sensitivity and a thorough knowledge of the arts and science are essential for achieving distinguished
architecture and the school plays a major role in providing the right kind of ambience to achieve the above qualities.
Thus after being an architecture student for 3 and half years I felt that there is a need to prepare professionals with ethical
standards based on genuine concern for improving the quality of life of individuals and society.
Thus there arises a need for a school where the students can discover, integrate, articulate and apply knowledge. My aim is to what
they exactly want and help them mould themselves in that particular field.
On the other hand there is'nt much architecture college in india in comparison to UK and United States. Thus the aim is to have an
architecture college with full equipped from facilities to educational system and to be equal with an architecture college's standard.

 SCOPE OF DESIGN

School of Planning and Architecture is a big institute and developing a minimum 5,000 Sq.m campus in itself is a
big task. The scope of my design would basically concentrate on the overall master planning of the campus of
architecture institute. Therefore few areas would not be detailed and will just be marked for future
development. Areas which will be detailed out are:-
•Undergraduate degree course for architecture (B.Arch)
•Postgraduate degree course for architecture (M.Arch)
•Undergraduate degree course for Planning (B.Planning)
•Postgraduate degree course for Planning (M.Planning)
•Hostel blocks
•Staff residence
•Sport facilities
•Workshop
•Auditorium
•Canteen
•Cafeteria
•Playgrounds
•Studios
•Administration block
•Open green space for interaction
•Landscape

CASE STUDIES

CCA CHANDIGARH-

 The building designed around a courtyard, yet it fails to take the advantage of the courtyard in an active
manner due to the doubly loaded corridors.
Due to the horizontal stacking of studies, interaction among the students take place only in the corridor.
The form of the building is the reflection of creativity in itself and it allows to bring the north light.

CEPT AHMEDABAD- The overall planning of the campus has been on the concept of a central courtyard
with built masses on 3 sides and a dense green belt on the 4th side which gives the necessary protection
from the vehicular traffic on the university main road.

METHODOLOGY

 CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION

Due to change in social life of people, need of society with regards to built environment is changing significantly. As a result
we require more houses, public buildings, hospitals, institutions etc. This change demanded more skilled personnel,
particularly architects to design optimally and help implementing the facilities.

1.1 INTRODUCTION TO INSTITUTIONS

An educational institution is an ensemble of buildings, each other and how to behave with surroundings. landscape, and
infrastructure used for education.
An institution is defined as a self contained architecture A campus should have residence for guests and visitor who composition
of separation university buildings in a park study design, construction and encourage them to develop temporarily want to stay
for the purpose of works. creative as well as technical abilities in a student. setting with residential accommodation, library,
class- A campus should have a strong administrative staff to co-room, etc. for a community of student and teachers.

1.2 STATUS OF ARCHITECTURE COLLEGE IN INDIA

Architecture Colleges in India can be called foundation stones for building varied career in architecture. Architecture in India is
very ancient and can be traced back to Indus Valley Civilization during 3300 BCE-1300BCE. The civilization was known for its grid
layout planning of the cities with roads at exact right angles. But the earliest architecture institute in India came up during
1857. Sir J.J. school of Architecture, Mumbai was the First Modern College which introduced a structured course in architecture. In
prevalent times there are more than 135 institutes of architecture in India.
There are about 385 institutions, which impart architectural education in India leading to recognized qualifications. The standards
of education imparted in all architecture institutes in India is governed by Council of Architecture, a government regulatory body.
These institutes include affiliated colleges/schools, constituent colleges, deemed universities, departments of universities, IITs,
NITs and autonomous institutes.
Maharashtra has the largest number of institutes offering architecture courses, followed by Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.

We require 9 lakh 13 thousand architects as per
American standards.
If we take the average of uk and usa then u require
approximately 7.5 lakhs architect in india.
Therefore estimated shortage of architects = 7 lakhs 8
1.3 ROLE OF COUNCIL OF ARCHITECTURE (COA)

The council of Architecture (COA) is an autonomous statutory body of govt. of India incorporated under the Architects Act,
1972. The COA has been charged with the responsibility of enforcing the Act throughout the country, including registration of
architects, regulating the architecture profession and the architectural education at all level. The COA consists of members
nominated by the central and state government /union territories, Institutions of Engineers (India) & Institutions of surveyors
of India and members elected to represent the Indian Institues of Architects & Heads of Institutions imparting Architectural
Education.

1.4 ABOUT SCHOOL OF PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE , DELHI

School offers planning, architecture and design courses both at undergraduate and
postgraduate levels. While the Bachelor of Architecture course is one of the oldest in the
country, highly successful Bachelor of Planning course was started in 1989. Besides, the
School offers 10 postgraduate programmes and 2 undergraduate programmes along with the
doctoral programmes run by all the departments of studies.

The existing SPA Delhi campus is so scattered. Its various departments are at large distance.
This makes a lot of inconvenience and very much disconnected department. The existing SPA
campus is at indraprasth. And the hostel is at Maharani bagh, this makes a diconnection
between the building blocks and trouble for the hostel students.

CASE STUDY 1 –C.E.P.T. AHMEDABAD
GENERAL INFORMATION
•Was established in 1962 by the Ahmedabad Education Society.
•Located in the Kasturbhai Lalbhai campus of the AES.
•Various Departments were build in phases, with School of Architecture in 1962, School of Planning in 1972, School of Building
Science and Technology in 1982 & School of Interior Design in 1991.

Surrounding land use and Character of urban form‐

•The campus is located in the Ahmedabad institutional area surrounded by various other institutes of Ahmadabad educational
society & Gujarat
university.
•It is supported by various commercial places adjacent to the C.E.P.T. campus. It includes markets, commercial shops, residences,
and other
public spaces like sports complex, hospitals, parks etc.
•120 ft. wide road approach road parallel to the ring road connects the campus with rest of the city, with an upcoming metro rail
and B.R.T.S.
corridor project to upkeep with the inflating population & traffic density.
•Has well maintained roads, footpaths & modern bus stops, signage board and the lush green surroundings give a soothing urban
experience to the
user. 32
•The vacant land adjacent to institutes for future expansion of the campuses keeps the massing of the built spaces low.
AHEMDABAD CLIMATE
Ahemadabad climate is hot, humid and dry with moderate rainfall. Temperature range from 45 degrees in summer and in winter
to minimum of 10 degrees.
DESIGN FEATURES
•No restriction in exchange of ideas and thoughts through informal environment.
•Provision for flexible spaces which can be used in a multifunctional manner.
•Strong connectivity between spaces making the school as an open spaces with no doors at all.
•Providing working environment which ease for faculty and students to teach , learn and interact.
•All buildings are oriented in the north – south direction. Open spaces on the north and south sides respectively

 CASE STUDY 2 –CCA, CHANDIGARH

CHANDIGARH COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE YEAR 1961

•WAS A PART OF THE GREAT CHANDIGARH EXPERIMENT
•ARCHITECT‐LE CORBUSIER
•BUILT IN THREE PHASES, IS ONLY AN UNDERGRADUATE INSTITUTE.
LOCATION‐ IT IS LOCATED IN PUNJAB UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, LOCATED IN THE SECTOR 12 INSTITUTIONAL AREA OF CHANDIGARH U.T.

SURROUNDING‐ LAND USE & URBAN FORM‐THE SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE UNIVERSITY IS INSTITUTIONAL AS WELL AS
RESIDENTIAL. PROPER SETBACKS OF THE HOUSES FROM THE ROADS WITH A GREEN COVER IN BETWEEN AND WELL
PLANNED WIDE GRID‐IRON ROADS GIVES A FEELING OF AN URBAN

CONCEPT– CONCEPT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD FROM THE DESIGN OF MAIN BUILDING. THE USE OF NORTH LIGHT CONCRETE ROOF
WITH AN OPEN LAWN AS A CENTRAL COURTYARD AND MINIMAL OPENINGS ON THE WEST WALLINDICATES THE CLIMATE AS A
REASON BEHIND THE DESIGN. LONG
CORRIDORS WITH SQUARISH BUILT FORM GIVES RESEMBLANCE TO THE
CHARACTER OF CHANDIGARH CITY .

DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN‐ THE THOUGHT BEHIND PLANNING MUST HAVE BEEN TO CREATE SEPARATE ZONES HAVING DIFFERENT
PURPOSE .THE ENTRANCE FOYER HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO SERVE AS A MULTIPURPOSE AREA. THE OPEN LAWN
AT THE CENTRE DOES NOT OPEN AT THE SIDES BUT AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE CORRIDOR AND THE REAR CORRIDOR STUDIO. IT
SERVES AS A GATHERING SPACEAND A ZONE FOR ALL THE USERS TO RELAX. THE ADMINISTRATION ZONE IS ON THE LEFT SIDE
COMPLIMENTING ADJACENT SPACES VERY WELL. A SEPARATE ACADEMIC ZONE IS AT THE REAR SIDE OF THE CAMPUS COMPRISING
OF THE STUDIOS, LIBRARY, COMPUTER ROOM, WORKSHOPS, LABS. ETC.
AREA REQUIREMENTS
•THE AREA OF A STUDIO IS APPROX. 250 SQ. M.COMPARING IT TO THE INTAKE OF ONE BATCH I.E. 40 IT IS VERY MUCH
SUFFICIENT.
•THE OPEN LAWN IS HAVING A SMALL STAGE WITH A TOTAL AREA OF 700 SQ. M. WHICH IS VERY MUCH SUFFICIENT TO HOLD A
CULTURAL EVENT HAVING A CAPACITY OF 200 PEOPLE EASILY.
•THERE IS AN OUTDOOR SEATING SPACE AT THE CANTEEN WHICH DOES NOT MAKES IT APPEAR CROWDY EVEN WHEN LARGE 35
MASS OF PEOPLE ATTEND THERE.
THE ENTRANCE FOYER IS A LONG PASSAGE
THE OPEN SEATING AREA IN THE CANTEEN
DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY WHICH CAN BE THE OPEN LAWN AMIDST THE BUILDING. THE WEST SIDE WALL
AREA CREATES A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT
USED FOR EXHIBITIONS. THE ELEVATION OF THE COLLEGE BUILDING HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH LEAST
