CHAPTER-1
Introduction

CHAPTER-1: Introduction
Education is the passport to the future,

For tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
-Malcolm X (American Activist)
Education is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values and beliefs in order to
become more intellectual and responsible human of the society. It provides an opportunity
to critically reflect upon the social, economic, cultural, moral and spiritual issues facing
humanity. It mainly defines the strength of the country and even contributes to its
development. Education is mainly divided into different stages- Primary education,
Secondary education and Higher education.
Higher education generally refers to the degree level qualification. The stage generally
restricts an individual to gain knowledge regarding a particular field of interest such as
Management, Engineering, Architecture, Medicine etc. and becoming a professional in
that field.
Source- All India Survey on Higher Education 2013-2014
Over the years there is a huge rise in the higher education in India. As the literacy rate is
increasing India is heading towards development and improved living standards of the
people.
1.1 Validity of the project

The technology is touching each and every aspect of life so there is a provision of various
opportunities and training in the field of technicality. Therefore, among the various fields
Technical Education is the most popular providing the great scope of development of the
nation as well as its economy.
According to the All India Survey on Higher Education 2013-2014
85% of the total student population pursue Higher education. In which the Technical
Education is the second most popular branch after Humanities.

Source- All India Survey on Higher Education 2013-2014
Due to the increase in the demands of such profession there is an exponential rise in the
number of engineering institutions in the last two decades in India. But many of such
college lacks the quality of education. Therefore, the client of the site – Bharati
Vidyapeeth Deemed University being one of the well renowned university proposed a
college for technical education where the aspirants get the appropriate knowledge about
the profession as well as proper study and work environment.
In respect to the above context the client has chosen such location because Rajiv Gandhi
Education City is prone to be an upcoming hub for higher education in the country and
having a college in such location will be a huge advantage for the University in future.
1.2 Personal Interest

1. Being one of the pursuers of the similar type of education I can easily relate
with the mindset, activities and requirements of the students of the same age
group.
2. Through this project I have an opportunity to break the tedious stereotypes of
the education system.
3. The project has several variation of spaces and different functions so it would
provide scope for innovation.
4. Students are the future of the country and they should have a proper study and
work environment to make them more socially and psychologically fit.
Therefore, through this project I can make contribution to the future of India.

1.3 Client
Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University is one of the most renowned private universities
in the state of Maharashtra. It was established by Dr. Patangrao Kadam in 1964 at Pune.
Since then, Bharati Vidyapeeth has made astonishing strides in the field of education,
particularly in higher and professional education. At present, it conducts 187 educational
units of various kinds, right from pre-primary schools to postgraduate institutions. They
include 87 colleges / institutes of different disciplines.
After getting a huge recognition in the southern part of the country the university is trying
hard to spread its branches in other parts of the country. Therefore, it has started a branch
in New Delhi as well. Along with this it has also proposed a 10 acres technical education
campus in the Rajiv Gandhi Education City.
1.4 Project Overview
The proposed project Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering in Rajiv Gandhi

Education city will be the amalgamation of both contemporary and traditional style. It
would further have the following aspect.
Intangible Aspects
Segregation of spaces with proper recreation and study environment. The proper
connectivity through different blocks and the hierarchy of spaces according to the
requirement. The campus also have some energy efficiency measures.
Tangible aspects
Beside the academic block there is a provision of Auditorium, Hostels and the recreational
spaces but the major focus will be on detailing of academic block.

Analysis of envisaged activity

CHAPTER-2: Analysis of envisaged activity
1. What is Institution?
An Institution is a structure of social order and
cooperation governing the behaviors of a set individual
within a given community. Institutions are identified
with social purpose, transcending individuals &
intentions mediating the rule that govern a co-operative
living behavior. Globally institutions are running in
many ways like- religious, educational, medical, art
culture etc. In general institution may be regarded as an
instance of emergence. Institution arise for developing
and functioning in a pattern of social and self –
organization which goes beyond the intentions of the
individual human being involved.
Importantly, institutions have both objective and
subjective
aspects includes money, social attributes and
emotional attributes to solve a problem.
2. What is Engineering?
Engineering is the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and
applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and
practical knowledge to design and build structures, machines,
devices, systems, materials and processes that safely realize a
solution to the needs of society.
According to Accreditation Board of Engineering
and Technology (ABET)-
“Engineering is the profession in which knowledge of the
mathematical and natural science, gained by study, experience,
and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to
utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the
benefit of mankind.”
3. What is Technical Education?

Technical Education is the study of technology, in which students learn about the
processes and knowledge related to technology. As a field of study, it covers the human
ability to shape and change physical world to meet the needs, by manipulating materials
and tools with techniques.

1. History
To understanding the current situation of the Engineering education first the major
milestone in engineering and engineering education should be studied.
1. Evolution of Engineering
The concept of engineering has existed since ancient times as humans devised
fundamental inventions such as the pulley, lever, and wheel. These inventions are
consistent with the definition of engineering: using basic mechanical principles to
develop useful tools and objects.
The history of engineering can be divided into several overlapping eras.

1. Ancient age or Prehistoric age
2. Middle age
3. Renaissance age
4. Industrial age
5. Electronics age
6. Information age

Evolution of Engineering

2.1.2 Evolution of Engineering Education
The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to the 19th century where major
changes in agriculture. Manufacturing, mining, transport, and technology had a profound
effect on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions starting in the United Kingdom, then
subsequently spreading throughout Europe, North America, and eventually the world. The
Industrial Revolution marks a major turning point in human history.
Thus, a new system of learning process was born by combining academic education with
skill training, specially tailor made learning-training system specially designed for supply
of trained manpower for industrial and economic development through judicious
application of science and technology, is closely related to the state policy for industrial
development and economic growth. In the field of education, technical education is
relatively a new comer in comparison to other disciplines. At the beginning, technical
education started in a form of training and apprenticeship in the trades of craftsman and
artisans. The first technological institute came into existence about eighty years after the
industrial revolution as a school for teaching apprentices.
In 1790, John Anderson and in 1794 Dr. Biskbeck established two schools in Glasgow and
in France respectively of apprenticeship for artisans and craftsmen. In the beginning,
engineering education was confined to the two branches namely civil engineering and
mechanical engineering while electrical engineering was started from 1882 only. The
expansion of technical education in the 19th century had witnessed the birth of many
branches like mining, shipping, textile, printing etc.

Rise of Engineering Education in India
The history of technical education in India can be traced to Epic Period (1000BC) and
Vedic period (Prior to 500 BC) when numerous technical skills such as
carpentry, smithy, foundry, and weaving were part of education. Later
during medieval India, the vocational skill reached great heights as it is
evident from the findings of the archaeological remains of the period.
However, the modern cult of technical education began in I ndia with
the establishment of “Survey School” at Madras (Now Chennai) by the
English traders in 1794. Besides assisting the British surveyors, the
School provided training to Indian personal in modern land survey. Later on, technical
education spread to other parts of the country and was transferred from generation to
generation.
Timeline of
Engineering
Education in India

Development under British rule (Pre Independence period) in India
If we examine the historical development of technical education, it will be discovered that
the foundation of technical education in India was laid almost at the same time as in
Europe but its growth in India was very restrictive and slow till India became
Independent. AICTE was established on 30th November 1945 by a resolution of the
Government of India on the recommendation made by CABE.
Post-Independence Era
Soon after the attainment of Independence, the government of India appointed a
commission in November, 1948 under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan,
Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at the University of Oxford to report on Indian
University Education and suggested improvements and extensions that may be desirable
to suit present future requirements of the country”.
Development of Private engineering education

Private engineering institutions have spawned all over India because the government has
not had the funds to increase significantly the number of engineering schools it runs. In
1970, India had a total of 139 engineering institutions, and only four of them were private.
After liberalization, there was enhanced demand of engineering
manpower and the government institutions were not able to fulfill
it which led to the historic decision of privatization. The Private
Universities (Establishment and Regulation) Bill was introduced in
1995 in the Parliament. Passing of the bill gave boost to penning
of many private engineering colleges. By the end of 2000, number
of engineering institutions rose to nearly 1,400 out of which about
200
only belong to the government. Growth of private engineering colleges continued even
beyond 2000. However, in the year 2008, Ministry of Human Resources (MHRD)
announced to open eight new IITs under XI five year plan in different states of India and
upgraded IT BHU as IIT to fulfill the demand of technical men power of the country
which makes the total number of IITs to sixteen.
2.5 Nature
“We shape our institution and our institution shapes us”,
- Winston Churchill.
Unlike a broad-based education in the arts or the sciences, the engineering education
system is designed to train engineers for the engineering profession. Hence it has to meet
the challenges and needs for engineers in the economy. As the nature of technology and
industry changes, the education system needs to be responsive and adapt to the changing
demands. There is a need for engineering educators to be conversant with existing
practices in industry while also acting as agents to bring in innovation and improvements.
Therefore, the activities should involve the development of the curiosity and exploration
among the students. Apart from this they should also taught to be professional and
become a disciplined adult with the ethics of the profession.

The students besides the academic curriculum should also be engaged in the
extracurricular activities so that they can attain the leadership quality and learn to perform
the team work activities. It helps to enhance the all-round personality of the students to
strongly face the turbulent road of the future. Experiences and appreciation gained
through these activities assist students during internships and other sponsored programs.
Hence to perform such activities the institutions should be designed according nature of
the different activities and the effect the effect it has on the life of a student.
“enhance the utility, appearance and comfort of all campus spaces related to learning.
Learning spaces must support many styles of learning, be versatile, comfortable and
attractive, rich with information and reliable technology, maintained and accessible”
(Siddall, 2006)
The following are some of the criteria that define the nature of the learning spaces-
Learning
spaces should support a diversity of learning styles;
• Learning
spaces must be versatile;
• Learning
spaces must be comfortable and attractive;
• Learning
spaces are information rich and technologically reliable;
• Learning
spaces must be maintained continuously;
• Learning
spaces should be ubiquitous in space and time;
• Learning spaces
should be used effectively; and • Sufficient resources must be allocated for learning
spaces.
2.6Architectura
l Implications
The function of an
institution is to evaluate ideas, it must always grow outwards. It plays a significant part in
providing guidance to the methodology learning. Thus, the basic design of institution
should have a capacity to develop, modify and change while retaining to the core. In
physical terms this implies that it should have linkages and spaces which are focal and
stable even when they are subjected to alterations.

Therefore from the above chart it can be clearly stated the Infrastructure and the
Building Spaces are one of the most important aspect for an effective Engineering
education.
In the list of the building spaces the most important factor from the student’s perspective
is the development of learning and interaction spaces in order to have a work and comfort
environment.
1.Utopia and integrated planning. In the spirit of the utopian vision to create perfect
places, we should create integrated planning strategies for universities. By translating the
essence of utopian ideals into tangible objectives, these strategies should give shape to
models which enjoy extensive freedom and flexibility in both space and time. It is
important to have in mind that, in order to create a university precinct, it is not simply a
question of formalizing an architectural and planning technique, but also of providing a
framework for architecture which fosters human activity.
2.Community of learning. A higher education institution should stimulate personal

contact and serve multiple functions, and thus nurture a fully-fledged community of
learning. Here, the human scale should prevail throughout the various loci and foster a
sense of belonging among students. Through carefully studied design, the users of these
spaces should bond with their physical environment. In this way, urban planning and
architecture stimulate study and research, interaction with fellow students and mentors,
and enhance the academic experience as a whole.
3.Spatial harmony. The configuration of a university’s architecture and urban planning

must be thoroughly aesthetic, given that it will form part of the users’ collective memory.
The physical elements of a place of learning must amount to more than just an equipped
built surface; it must also dispense visual education by creating a coherent spatial whole
where as much heed is paid to build volumes as to open spaces. The campus is the hub
and backbone of the university and provides the new student with his first (visual) lesson:
it is a “three-dimensional textbook” in tectonic corporal form.
4. Emotional and intellectual harmony

A campus should become a spatial metaphor for the emotional and intellectual harmony
the university seeks to promote. This harmony is consciously designed to impact on the
learning community and stimulate empathy. The layout and materials used in the
construction of the various architectural components of a teaching or research site must
foster the psychological well-being of its users.
5. Nature and art

The presence of nature brings an added element of educational value to the campus,
leading to an overarching integrated architectural model governed by a sense of “unity in
diversity”. The different elements – buildings and open spaces – should create a physical
habitat which reflects the vocation of a campus: that of being a cultural artefact endowed
with curricular content, i.e. a home to study and research. Additional outdoor and indoor
zones can be added on to the principle buildings in order to exhibit artwork and facilitate
further educational experiences.

6.Image and accessibility
The university should present a powerful image in keeping with its essential missions, i.e.
teaching, research and engagement with society. It should be accessible from a conceptual
and physical point of view and strive to maintain local culture and traditions, whether
social, geographic, cultural or architectural.
7. Sustainability and adaptation to the environment.

An academic institution should ensure that its architecture and urban planning are in
harmony with its surrounding geographical and climatic conditions. It should be
exemplary in relation to the environment, biodiversity and sustainability. It should use
construction materials and technical solutions that are in line with this policy, and employ
mechanisms that use renewable sources of energy and are respectful of the environment.
8. Memory and Avant garde.

A university campus should honor the memory of planning and architectural paradigms
inherited from traditional “places of learning”, for these are a valuable source of concepts
that nourish contemporary design. Both new projects, which have extensive freedom to
experiment with shapes, as well as plans to remodel existing buildings, should
demonstrate both modernity and avant garde design, thereby enhancing the intellectual
identity of academia.
9.The university/city relationship. The university and city should work in collaboration,
create synergies and actively encourage the presence of academics and places of learning
in social and urban contexts. This way, both entities can support each other’s efforts to
innovate. They can also enlist the efforts of other institutions in order to bring about all-
encompassing social and cultural projects.
10.Innovative teaching and learning modalities. Through innovative design, a

university should be able to inspire and foster innovative forms of teaching and learning.
As part of a holistic educational project, alternatives to the conventional lecture hall
should make inert roles obsolete. These alternatives should be “intelligent” locations that
stimulate the creation and transfer of knowledge and a healthy exchange of views between
teachers and students.
Tangible aspects
Apart from the intangible aspects there are certain physical characteristics that should be
considered.

Sustainable aspects
Further in order to make the campus more energy efficient
the passive techniques can be used. The criteria like
orientation, shade and shadow, insulation, material respond
to the surrounding plays a vital role.
External Space Design
Deciduous trees create a cooling effect during the hot
summer months and allow for passive solar gain- heat
directly from the sun after leaves have fallen during winter
months Rule of
thumb is to plant the tree at least 20 feet from the house. Larger shade trees may require a
distance as far as 40 feet from the house to ensure room for growth.”
Courtyard Planning
Ever green wind-breakers planted towards in direction of winter winds to reduce cooling
effect on site Provision of water bodies to allow evaporative cooling and to reduce the
effect of hot and dusty winds. Such water bodies should be located in direction of the
wind direction so as to allow the desired cooling effect
Site planning
The site planning of outdoor spaces, streets and landscaping and organization of interior
spaces to respond to specific climate and physical environments are key strategies of
climate responsive design. Site micro-climate can be modified through site planning
leading to improved thermal comfort of outdoor spaces, increased capacity for ventilation
and sun control in buildings and reduced cooling loads. Therefore site planning and the
organization of interior spaces can directly impact indoor environment quality and
resulting
occupant health, comfort and productivity. The siting and thermal comfort of outdoor
spaces will also contribute to levels of social interaction and opportunities for outdoor
teaching and informal learning.

Fig: Movement of air through different building blocks
These implications further help in achieving an ideal campus design with certain balance
in each and every corner of the campus.

CHAPTER-3
The Envisaged User Profile

CHAPTER-3: The Envisaged User Profile
3.1 Who are the users?

In an institutional complex the people from different age groups are the part of the
different activities within the campus. These include-
The ages of the user group is between 18-60.

The area of campus that can be accessed by any user different and it is generally based on
the type of user and the activities performed by the users. These are as follows-
Primary Users- Classrooms, Playgrounds, Library, Cafeteria, Hostels

Secondary Users- Administration office, Guard rooms, Servant Quarters
Tertiary Users- Reception, Cafeteria
Thus, the area of access keeps on reducing according to the users.
2. Social Aspects
The purpose of a campus is to bring together diverse people and their ideas in an
environment that creates potential for intellectual and social exchange.
In an institutional campus the social environment that is created by the users generally
depends on some criteria of interactions such as –
1. Economic Backdrop- the financial status of the students and teachers.
2. Hierarchy of the Post- the position of the staff members
3. Cultural Backdrop- the individual culture of each and every student further
reflects in their social performance.
4. Area of Interest- The students with same interest tend to interact more efficiently
5. Compatibility Level- the behavior of and individual is the most important.
These criteria further analyses whether the interaction between the users will be formal or
informal.
3.2.1 Phases of Interactions

In an educational campus the major set of interaction is between-
The other set of interactions include-

3.2.2 Nature of Interactions in different areas
Human beings have the capacity to interact through their reflections and experiences.
Space can have powerful impact on interaction, we cannot overlook space in our attempts
to accomplish our goals. The influence of physical space on human activity has been
studied from both psychological and physical perspectives which includes psychological
comfort with space and the motivational and inspirational effects of space. Moving
beyond classrooms to interactive space, the typical unadorned corridors where students
pass from class to class and sit on the benches or sit on floor outside classroom spaces the
interaction takes place everywhere. The types of interactions that takes place in an
institutional campus are generally based on the surrounding or the setting in which the
interaction is taking place. The setting generally have such ambience that decides whether
the setting is informal or formal.
Fig: Different types of Setting of Social Interactions that enhances learning
1. CLASSROOMS/ LIBRARY
The classroom can be defined as a place where more than two people gather
together for the purpose of learning, with one having the role of teacher. The
classrooms and other formal learning spaces are one of the most controlled
environment of the campus. The interactions that takes place in formal manner
whether it is between the students or the faculty student interactions.
Fig: teacher student interaction Fig: interaction among the students

Method for enhancing interactions in formal learning spaces
1. One Space, Many Uses: Select multiple-

Use furnishings for use within classrooms. For example, meeting tables can
serve multiple purposes; a single table can serve as a work surface for
individual tasks, and can be linked to others for small team activities. Ensure
that furnishings provide sufficient work surface area for students and faculty.
Fig: The flexible tables that can be configured to suite both individual and group
learning activities.
2. Change Point of View-

The ability to easily change the focal point of interaction between students and
the teacher is important to support different teaching styles—and a diversity of
cultural learning norms. The classroom must be flexible enough to support
many learning styles—written, verbal, and interactive.
3. Conducting several activities to increase the communication.
2. CAFETERIA
It is the liveliest place of the campus. It is the place of leisure and relaxation for
the students. The major informal interactions takes in this area. The social setting
of this area is very embracing thus it automatically attracts the user into the palce.
Fig: Informal Activities in a Cafeteria
It is likely that canteen in many ways a different groove to other parts of the
college, since students can interact more ‘freely’ there, particularly due to the
absence of the formality normally associated with lectures and lecture rooms and
due to the

relative absence of the lecturing staff who most often use their own area which is
cut off from the remainder of the canteen. These interactions, even if differing
from those in lectures, as discussed further in this (findings) section of the paper.
In this respect, the time that students spend at the canteen is not totally
unstructured since it is influenced by underlying social and cultural meanings.
Therefore, it can be stated that to the students, cafeteria is not simply a physical
space. Rather, it is one that is associated with personal experiences, memories and
feelings. In this respect, it is not simply a locus but something/somewhere ‘alive’.
This implies that even though students identify with it during their ‘student days’,
canteen is likely, at least to some extent, to have a lifelong influence on its
students.
3. OPEN SPACES
The common areas between campus buildings is viewed as the streets and parks of
the campus community, those public spaces that are not the territory of specific
buildings or departments. Seven categories describe Common Turf campus spaces
used by everyone: Major Plazas, Favorite Outdoor Spaces/Green Spaces, Outdoor
Study Areas/Informal, Outdoor Classrooms, Overlooks, Major Bus Stops, and
Campus Entrances.
Fig: Activities in open spaces of a college campus
Research has shown that most students enjoy having easy access to both urban
space and green space, but the majority identified open space and green space as a
preference over malls and plazas. The identified favorite places tended to be green
or “natural” environments and/or were not seen as the territory or home base of
any particular building or department. These spaces are used much as a downtown
worker might use a park or other green space: as a place to retreat to, to get away
from the pressures of work, to find respite and relax. What seems to be common to
all favorite spaces is that natural elements like trees, shrubs, grass, creeks, and
water bodies form the boundaries of these spaces, mostly or totally blocking out
the presence of nearby buildings or streets. The broad range of activities occurring
in these natural spaces are seating, watching, sunbathing, napping, and others
seems to be essential to alleviating stress in students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Just as the city as a whole needs green spaces to act as its lungs, so do urban
campuses.

The following are some of the element of the open space in a campus building that
can be used as the interactive spaces and further providing aesthetic to the
campus.
Thus, it can be concluded that-

 Interactive spaces plays a vital role in student’s life by active participation
in the activities taking place in these spaces and sometimes just getting
recreated in passive form.
 There is a connection between the surrounding environment and an
individual which is indirectly responsible for making the conversation go
in a healthy manner with proper comfort level.
 Proper landscaping and informal sit outs within the gathering spot plays a
significance role in motivating the students to visit these areas for group
gatherings.

3.3 Psychological Aspects
Nowadays there is a lot of pressure and stress on the students for better studies because of
which mental health of the student is degrading.
Fig: Statistics regarding Mental illness of students
Therefore to cater this flaw a learning space should be able to motivate learners and
promote learning as an activity, support collaborative as well as formal practice, provide a
personalized and inclusive environment, and be flexible in the face of changing needs. A
campus should become a spatial metaphor for the emotional and intellectual harmony the
university seeks to promote. This harmony is consciously designed to impact on the
learning community and stimulate empathy. Thus helping the student to have effective
learning in the campus and also provide working environment.
Learning Psychology of the students

In an institutional campus the learning happens everywhere and it is up to the students
that how much they can grasp with surrounding. Each student has a different learning
pattern some learn theoretically some learn practically.
Fig: Showing the effectiveness of the learning in different places

Therefore from the above diagram it can be stated that students have different impact on
learning with respect to the places. However the learning psychology also depend on the
type of study activity.
The students prefer to do individual study activities that require concentration, at home.
For these activities students do not favor open, noisy settings, such as an atrium,
corridors, the entrance area of the university building or an area with workstations for
students where talking is allowed. Catering areas, such as restaurants or grand cafés, are
not popular either. When students work on individual study activities, they prefer to do
these in closed, quiet learning spaces, such as individual cockpits or project rooms. An
area with student workstations where it is quiet because talking is not allowed is
sufficient as well. Other learning spaces than at home or at the university are not popular
for individual study activities.
For collaborative study activities with peers in small groups, students actually have one
favourite place, namely closed project rooms. All other learning spaces are valued as
rather neutral or even as not popular for working together on study activities. In the
questionnaire also a specific question was formulated regarding the preference of working
together face- to-face or through online networks, such as FaceTime, Skype or
WhatsApp. 63% of the respondents preferred face-to-face contact to virtual contact. 11%
preferred virtual contact more. The other 26% were neutral in their opinion.
Psychology of teachers
The most important factor for understanding the phycology of teacher is that they require
their personal space for effective conduct and student should maintain certain distance
from them.
Psychology of other users

The other user are mainly the workers and employess they have a mental state which is
not very similar to the educational backdrop so they just need a proper space and behave
with in the ethics of the campus.

4.7 Standard for Landscape area
The design of external spaces outside and between buildings, whether urban or rural, public or
private, covers a wide variety of elements and requires considerable knowledge of the location,
materials and construction.
Walkways-These vary with the purpose of the route, the intensity of use and with the situation.
As a general rule of thumb, provide 600 mm width for each pedestrian walking abreast: which
suggests 2000 mm minimum for public walkways.
Pedestrian Ramps-These are used to allow wheeled vehicles such as trolleys, wheelchairs and
buggies to change levels. The important criteria are the angle of slope, the type of surfacing and
the drainage of surface water. Ramps should have a landing at least every 9.0 m of length.

4.8 Small Amphitheaters
Small amphitheaters, usually designed for campgrounds, consist
of seats, a small stage or podium, nighttime lighting, and
sometimes a public-address system and provision for showing
slides and films (Figure 520-55). There should also be ramps and
associated special design facilities for those who are
handicapped. Where possible, the amphitheater should be built
into a naturally existing or graded bowl and should face away
from late afternoon sun. In addition, the following design
guidelines can be used:
1.Aisles should be at least 1 500 mm (5 ft) wide, with a
maximum space of 9 000 mm (30 ft) between aisles.
2.The backstage area can be enclosed, and where needed it can
be used to set up and store slide and film equipment for rear-
projection screens.
3.The platform is usually about 450 mm (18 in) off the ground
and a minimum of 11.6 m2 (125 ft2) in size.

CHAPTER-5
Literature Study

CHAPTER-5: Literature Study
5.1 Space Design Criteria for Educational Architecture

The following design features emerged as contributing to the architecture of the Institutions in
various ways.
1. Design for a sense of welcoming and openness while keeping a sense of security
Designers described a need for openness and transparency that connects
outdoor space with indoor space, as well as new space with existing space.
Openness extends to the way spaces should invite people (including the
general public). However, it is important for spaces to also provide a sense of
security and safety. The use of glass allows light to spill into a space, opens
it up and maintains a sense of security. Used in clever ways, glass can open
spaces to reveal hidden views of gardens, landscape and other appealing
sights.
Fig: Horizontal movement with transparency
2. Design for home-like comfort

The provision of home-like comforts is increasingly used to encourage students to spend both
recreational and academic time on campus in learning spaces. Amenities such as kitchens, boiling
water, showers, lockers, lounges, TVs, and cafés provide comfort and function to support some
basic human needs.
Fig: Thermal design for human comfort
3. Design for way-finding

Way-finding aids in orientation and makes using a space easier. A hub, a central point of activity
and special interest, may act to draw people together, and offer choices such as pathways to
facilities and other spaces. Hubs also aid in way-finding or orientation in space and often extend
across multiple levels in buildings.
Fig: Wayfinding approach

4. Design to encourage different types of valued behavior
Design to support a constructivist approach to learning, and student-centred, collaborative, and
experiential learning has emerged as a feature in new learning spaces. Collaborative spaces are
often designed for small groups and offer shared tables, large touch-screen monitors, local
computers, and large writable walls. These types of spaces have various names, including
learning pods, presentation pods and private study rooms. Areas for individual study, large
groups and quiet reading are also common features of new learning spaces.
5. Design for balance (flexibility vs. fixed)
Designers described a balance of fixed and configurable or flexible components that enable user
control and self-initiative. There are some parts of design that cannot be flexible – a fire exit, for
example – and there are other fixed components that are often an integral part of a client’s brief.
The balance between fixed and flexible features is a challenge that requires a deep understanding
of stakeholders’ needs.
5.2 Dober’s Principles of Campus planning

“Campuses will be centrepieces in twenty first century culture”
-Richard P. Dober
The campus is the total physical environment, including all building and landscape space. This
combination of buildings and landscape space between buildings functions as an organized
whole, and has a distinctive identity. The landscape and buildings hold a key place in the
collective memory of the institution. The quality of a school isjudged by its sense of place and by
the activities going on across the campus. Prospective students their parents and faculty count the
overall feet of a campus as part of their decision when selecting a school. It also contributes
significantly to a university’s ongoing efforts to attract and sustain the best students, faculty and
staff and to reflect its social purpose in a positive way. Few people are happy attending a campus
that seems placeless or dull, or whose surrounding context is hard to enjoy. Landscape spaces
help unify the campus through a connecting fabric of buildings and landscape, and are a
necessary balance to the construction of roads, parking lots and buildings. As the campus
continuous to grow, it will be increasingly important to provide the relief and contrast of a well
thought out campus landscape.
Fig: Framework for healthy campus open space design

According to Dober’s campus landscape space and serves several important functions to the
whole campus are:-
1. Landscape open spaces give identity to campus
Without great landscape spaces, there would be no great campus. These spaces
are
shared by students, staff, and faculty as they move around campus, socialize, recreate
and study. These spaces connect buildings and establish the image of the university. It
is the treatment of this campus landscape that forms the opinions, impressions, and
attitudes of the institution.
2. Provide settings for all kind of campus activities
Activities on campuses vary from relaxing to formal/informal events (university wide,
group, class, sports, commencement, etc.) including quiet study, people watching,
enjoying nature, meditation , chatting with friends, picnic, games , bird feeding
playing Frisbee, and so on . The landscape spaces encourage the maximum number of
important encounters with other students, with each faculty member, with visitors,
with works of art, with books, and with activities with which one is not himself a
regular part will stimulate curiosity, prompt casual encounter and conversation, the
atmosphere it produces be truly educational in the broadest sense. Landscape spaces
are essential to alleviate stress among students and university employees, making the
intensity or boredom of classes, and office work more tolerable.
3. Protect natural environment
Landscape nature spaces can be help the restoration and protection of wildlife habitat.
This acknowledges ecological concern that is growing both within the university and
in the surrounding communities
5.3 Recommendations for healthy interactive open spaces

The recommendations intend to create conducive environment of the interactive space so that
they can be used effectively by the study that could improve the quality and standard of
interaction level. Following are some recommendations based on the problems identified.
4.Interactive space spaces should be designed to support active engagement rather than passive,
interaction occurs when students are engaged in an active participation within an interactive
space.
5.Spaces should avoid design elements like fixed amphitheatre and seating that support non-
natural separation of academics and students and utilize mobile furnishings and technology that
allow a more shared approach to interact.
6.Elements like the quality and cleanliness of the space, the reliability and functionality of its
technology, the colors on walls, floors and in furnishings, art work and imagery, and the nature of
signage all contribute to sending a message to the users of the space
7.The design of university campuses, buildings and interactive space spaces needs to support
opportunities for accidental or unexpected interaction between students and academics.
8.The addition of simple and comfortable seating in walk ways and in corridors where academics
and students are likely to meet is another way to support and encourage higher levels interaction
outside the classroom.

6.For the potential of any interactive spaces to be realized there should be spaces not only in
which students want to be, but also spaces in which students are motivated to be involved in the
interactive activities.
7. An interactive space should be accessible, comfortable and habitable for all its users.
8.The design of interactive spaces should include consideration of student access to comfort
elements including food and beverage.
9.The transition spaces can be considered as hallways, pathways and foyer that interconnected to
other building spaces. The transition spaces should provide benches for sitting where they can
talk out of the flow of pedestrian walkway.
10.Some interactive space spaces have adjacent indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor spaces can
be considered as courtyard, amphitheatre, and square and open-plan area.
11.Planting shade trees and providing sitting areas makes these spaces more usable, and students
tend to linger before going inside for class.

Why this project?

This institute is the world renowned famous for its play of levels and spaces within the building.
The other reason is to get acquainted with the design of the learning on the vast scale besides the
Indian context.
Riding the controversial line between public and private space, this research institute attempts to
subvert the usual hard thresholds established by private enterprise in the public realm. The site is
on the Shore of Silver Lake, at the northern edge of Waterloo's downtown core and the southern
edge of the city's central park. Adjacent to the primary pedestrian access between the university
campus and the city center, the site is an urban wilderness between clearly defined worlds.

Fig: View of the institute from the Eastern side
Design
The design is takes inspiration from the wide-ranging, hard to define concepts that make up the
subject matter of theoretical physics, at once micro- and macro-cosmic, rich in information and of
indeterminate form and substance. Between city and park, the Perimeter Institute expands and
inhabits the improbable space of the line separating the two. The building defines the secure
zones of the Institute's facilities within a series of parallel glass walls, embedded in an erupting
ground plane that reveals a large reflecting pool.

Interiors
The interior of the Institute is organized around two central spaces, the main hall on the ground
floor and the garden on the first. Spaces for administration, meeting and seminar rooms, leisure
and fitness spaces, and a multipurpose theatre for symposia and public presentations, have direct
access to the main hall. The circulation corridors running east-west are positioned between the
opalescent glass planes, which are occasionally punctured and shifted to reveal views across the
interior space of the hall.
Fig: Natural Light in lecture hall Fig: Vertical circulation used as design element
Vertical circulation climbs these walls, tendrils of ground that run from the garden through the
building. The garden - nature emerging from the vacuum - is crossed by three bridges that
puncture all the planes, as well as the north and south façades. The bridges provide quick access
to information, facilities and research colleagues. These conduits, which formally bind together
the Institute, are routes crossing the improbable space between theoretical physics and everyday
life.

Fig: Façade of the building covered with horizontal louvers to prevent the interior from heat
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-
Champaign (ECE ILLINOIS) is the epicenter of new technology and groundbreaking innovation.
Intended to go beyond a collection of bricks and mortar, the new ECE building will be the heart
and soul of the department – a place where curiosity is celebrated and intellectual collisions occur
naturally. This high-performance building is the direct result of integrating culture, energy
research and architecture – a new paradigm for sustainable design.
Fig: Sculpture at the entrance

From displacement and demand control ventilation, heat recovery chillers with net metering to
chilled beam technology, the building is an important addition to the campus in terms of its
minimal carbon footprint.
Fig: Corridor with adjacent reading spaces with natural light
Passive solar design features such as optimal building orientation, 30% overall glazing and
exterior shading devices lend to greater daylighting and reduced energy loads. In addition to
maintaining a consistent material palette, terracotta baguettes and the solar canopy act as exterior
shading devices on 80% of the glazing. Comprehensive sustainability features were incorporated
into every aspect of the building’s exterior and interior. Energy efficiency was not only the
priority, but the driver for every decision throughout the design process.
Façade Material - Teracotta Baguette

Sunscreens
Baguette Sunscreens can lend a subtle variation,
add texture to a building, or create a work of art.
Both energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing,
terracotta sunscreens are composed of extruded
material in a wide variety of profiles, colors, and
finishes. Supported internally by a metal
reinforced bar, the sunscreens can be installed
horizontally or vertically.

Interiors
The interior of the building is quite spacious with adequate amount of light and ventilation. There
are some double height rooms. In some rooms acoustical treatment is done with wooden panels

level. Sonipat borders Delhi the National capital to the south, Panipat district to the North, Uttar
Pradesh state to the east and Rohtak District to the west.
Topographically, Sonipat district is divided into three regions, the khaddar and upland plain sandy
region. The Sonipat city lies on the upland plain which are covered with old alluvial soil which if
irrigated gives higher productivity.
6. Climatic Conditions
The climate of Sonipat is dry with a hot summer and cold winter. The climate becomes milder
during the monsoon period (July to September). The post- monsoon months of October and
November constitute a transition period prior to the onset of winter.

7. Flora and Fauna on Site

The site doesn’t have any mature that are to be preserved. The site is covered with the wild grass
but at some places the edible grass for feeding the cows is grown by the caretaker. There is a
temporary cow shed set up by the care taker for his own personal interest.
8. SWOT Analysis
Strength- Connectivity to the major highway and to the major cities of the north
Weakness- There is hardly any development in adjacent areas therefore the area becomes in
active at night and prone to crime.
Undeveloped rural backdrop
Opportunity- Upcoming educational hub, Can be major scope for innovation and set a prototype
Threat- the high number of engineering college in the Sonipat region

CHAPTER-8: Client’s Brief
8.1 Client- Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed University), Pune
Maharashtra has a very long and well nurtured tradition of private initiative in
higher education. There are several organizations in Maharashtra, established
by social reformers, educationists and others, which have made
commendable contributions to the cause of education. Inspired by their work,
Dr. Patangrao Kadam established Bharati Vidyapeeth in 1964 at Pune. The
mission, which Bharati Vidyapeeth has defined for itself is to bring about
intellectual awakening of people through the spread of education and to
prepare human resources needed for all-round development, particularly
economy of the country.
At present, it conducts 180 educational units of various kinds, right from pre-primary schools to
postgraduate institutions. They include 80 colleges / institutes of different disciplines. It has its
campuses in Pune, New Delhi, Navi Mumbai, Kolhapur, Karad, Sangli and Solapur.
After getting a huge recognition in the southern part of the country the university is trying hard to
spread its branches in other parts of the country. Therefore, it has started a branch in New Delhi as
well. Along with this it has also proposed a 10 acres technical education campus in the Rajiv
Gandhi Education City.

9.2 Functional Relationship of Spaces
Each space in the campus is unique and has its own specific requirements in terms of behavioral
pattern. Thus, the individual spaces have to be dealt with as per their own rather than as subsets of
one built structure.
There is clear demarcation of hierarchy of public-semi public-private zones which needs to be
maintained.
The Administration Area are the public areas, the Academic block are the semi-public area and
hostel block areas as private area.
Besides the qualitative aspects of each space, the transition between them is also very important
and thus as each space is designed, its approach and adjacencies will have to be kept in mind.
The duration of usage of space will become highly important to study behavioral patterns and use
natural light etc.
