ARCHITECTURE WITHOUT BARRIERS. INTEGRATION OF OPENING SPACES. EASE OF INTERACTION BETWEEN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS.

4. THE DESIGN IS INTENDED TO BE CLOSE TO THE NATURE AND EXPERIMENT THE DESIGNING SKILL, PLAY WITH LEVELS ETC., THE SITE WAS UNDULATED AND GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY WITH LEVELS. CREATION OF A PROPER WORKING ENVIRONMENT FACILITATING FACULTY AND STUDENTS TO HAVE FREE SCOPE TO LEARN AND TEACH ANYWHERE. EXPOSED LOCAL MATERIALS FOR LOW COST, EASY EXPANSION AND MAINTENANCE THERE ARE INCLINE SKYLIGHTS ON THE TOP OF THE STUDIO, PERPETUALLY LETTING IN NATURAL LIGHT INTO THE SPACES THE STUDIO SPACES HAVE BAY SPACES FACING THE EXTERIOR , CREATING SEMI PRIVATE SPACES WHICH ARE YET TOTALLY OPEN TO THE EXTERIOR SPACES WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL CAN BE ALONE WITH NATURE EVEN IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF A STUDIO. THE BUILDINGS ARE PLACED AWAY FROM THE MAIN ROAD WITH TREES AT THE MIDST OF ROAD AND BUILDING SITE. THEY ARE ACTING AS BARRIERS THAT REDUCE THE NOSIE POLLUTION FROM THE ROAD. THESE TREES COVERS THE VIEW OF THE BUILDING FROM OUTSIDE CENTRE FOR ENIVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND TECHNOLOGY.

ALL THE STUDIOS ARE ABOVE ONE ANOTHER,ALONG WITH THE ADJACENT LECTURE ROOMS. THE BUILDING SECTION AND DOUBLE HEIGHT STUDIOS ARE WELL CONCEIVED TO FACILITATE AIR FLOW

GROUND FLOOR CONSITS OF EXHIBITION AREA , RECEPTION OF LIBRARY. FIRST FLOOR CONSISTS OF DIGITAL LIBRARY SECOND FLOOR CONSISTS OF READING HALL. THE FIRST BASEMENT CONSISTS OF READING SECTION AND LIBRARIAN DESK ALONG WITH BOOK CORE ON MEZZANINE SECOND BASEMENT CONSISTS OF READING HALL AND INTERACTION SPACE WITH HALF BOOK CORE. THE THIRD BASEMENT IS STOREROOM & ARCHIVE ROOM .

10. Axonometric view AS AN UNDERLYING CONTEMPORARY THEME, THE BUILDING FORMALLY WEAVES ITSELF INTO THE PRE-EXISTING CAMPUS NARRATIVE. READING ROOMS, FORMAL AND INFORMAL READING SPACES, INDIVIDUAL CARRELS, SEMINAR ROOMS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES ARE ACCOMMODATED IN ADDITION TO SOFTER AND MORE FLEXIBLE FUNCTIONS SUCH AS EXHIBITION AND PRESENTATION SPACES. LOUVERED FACADE CAN BE MANUALLY ADJUSTED TO ALLOW IN LESS LIGHT OR MORE VENTILATION IN RESPONSE TO AHMEDABAD’S SEVERELY HOT AND DRY CLIMATE. LOCATED AT -4 METERS AND -8 METERS BELOW GROUND LEVEL, THE BOOK STACKS, CARRELS, AND STUDY SPACES BENEFIT FROM BOTH PLENTIFUL AND FILTERED NATURAL LIGHTING THAT POURS IN THROUGH THE LOUVERED FACADE AS WELL AS THE NATURAL COOLING EFFECT PROVIDED BY THE SURROUNDING EARTH. +8m Second floor Reading space +4m First floor Reading space 0m Ground floor Reception exhibition -4m First basement Book stacks Cabins Liberian office -8m Second basement Reading room Media room Seminar space -12m Third basement Archives storage

12. CENTRAL COURTYARD THE CENTRAL COURT YARD IS A COMBINATION OF PAVED AND UNPAVED AREAS,SHADED BY TREES IN CERTAIN AREAS. ALL ENTRANCES ARE LINKED TO THE COURTYARD BY PEDESTRAIN PATHWAYS. HENCE THE COURTYARD IS AN AREA OF HEAVY CIRCULATION OF INTERACTION. CENTRE FOR ENIVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND TECHNOLOGY VENTILATION • THE PARALLEL WALLS,FORMING AN OPEN TUBE OF SPACE ARE PREDOMINANTLY ALIGNED NORTH- SOUTH,EFFECTIVELY CLOSE TO EAST AND WEST SIDE • NORTH SIDE IS HEIGHTENED TO ALLOW MORE LIGHT IN WHILE THE SOUTH SIDE IS KEPT LOW TO SHIELD FROM DIRECT RADIATION. LANDSCAPE THE CAMPUS IS FULL OF NEEM TREES,WHICH WERE PLANTED OVER THE YEARS SINCE THE INTIAL PHASE MAKES HOT AHMEDABAD CLIMATE COOLER. THE TREES PROVIDE A PERPETUAL CHANGING PATTERN OF LIGHT AND SHADE THERE ARE MANY INTERCONNECTING PATHWAYS WITH BRICK PAVING AND TERRACOTTA TILING THERE ARE ALSO SMALL PLANTS WITHIN THE BUILDING AND PLOTTED PLANTS AT PLACES THE STEPS IN FACT BECOME EXTERNAL ACTIVITY HUBS WITH STUDENTS USING THE LEVELS FOR READING,ORGANSING INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS,PERFORMANCES OR EVEN FOR SIMPLY LAZING AROUND CENTRE FOR ENIVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND TECHNOLOGY THE OPEN SPACES AND THE SHADED ONCE MERGE WITH THE LANDSCAPE

13. OBSERVATIONS SIMPLE STURCTURE OF PARALLEL BRICK WALL AND CONCRETE BEAMS AND FLOORS THAT IS EXTENDABLE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN. AN OPEN PLACE WITH HARDLY ANY DOOR . NO FEELING OF RESTRICTION TO EXCHANGE OF THE IDEAS AND FREE SCOPE OF TEACHING AND LEARNING ANYWHERE. MORE USE OF INTERACTION AND TRANSITION AREAS LIKE CORRIDORS , GALLERIES AND COURTS AND FOYERS THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS BUILDING LOOKING INWARD MAKES THE ENVIRONMENT LIBELIER. CIRCULATION IS SO EASY TO MAKE ALL THE BUILDING ACCESSIBLE. THE INFORMAL INTERACTION SPACES WITH TREES AND SEATING MAKE THEM RELAXING AND CALM.
