Project Brief
Educational institutions are indicators of the direction in which a culture intends ta be headed in . Built in anticipation of
market trends : they represent the value that a community attaches to learning.
Education as a process. can be effective only if constantly evolves with the society and mirrors its aspirations. This fact is of
vital significance in India, which is fast catching up with the world as technological advancement is revolutionizing the
content and process of its education. The challenge for educational facilities is to keep up with this evolution.
In an inter-connected and multi-ethnic environment like that of India. the challenge extends beyond technological
integration/ up gradation of the education system into addressing the innate contradictions that arise within
At present,S.P.A. operates from three locations. The planning dept. and the architecture dept. are housed in
different buildings in different plots. There are 11 distinct departments presently and all of them are flourishing units in
themselves possessing a wealth of knowledge and resources. They are supervised and run by the best and most
experienced faculty of the country. But physical segregation of the institution means that there is very little interaction
between the students and faculty of the various departments. The resource of the institute can not be utilized fully. In the
planning building itself , the location of the studios and the faculty areas is such that one does not get to know about other
studios on their way.Hence,inter-department interaction is minimal.

existing institutional and campus area along with the Bio-Diversity Park to its north , Grand Hotel and Vasant Kunj Malls

adopt an environmental approach and bind together a strong identity for the Vasant Kunj South Campus area providing
better connections to the surrounding neighborhood.

Form evolution Daylighting

Daylighting is the practice of placing

windows, other openings, and reflective
surfaces so that sunlight (direct or indirect)
can provide effective internal lighting.
Particular attention is given to daylighting
while designing a building when the aim is to
maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy
use.

Northlights are ideal for galleries and

museums as well as schools, offices and
industrial facilities, where direct glare is
unwanted.

A light shelf is a horizontal surface that

reflects daylight deep into a building. Light
shelves are placed above eye-level and
have high-reflectance upper surfaces,
which reflect daylight onto the ceiling and
Architectural styles deeper into the space.

Contemporary architecture is the architecture of

the 21st century. No single style is dominant;
contemporary architects are working in a dozen
different styles, from postmodernism and high-tech
architecture
Brutalist buildings are usually formed with repeated
modular elements forming masses representing
specific functional zones, distinctly articulated and
grouped together into a unified whole. Concrete is
used for its raw and unpretentious honesty,
contrasting dramatically with the highly
refined and ornamented
buildings

and its occupants by:
• Reducing energy bills by
decreasing air conditioning
needs
• Improving indoor comfort for
spaces that are not air
conditioned, such as garages or
covered patios
• Decreasing roof temperature,
which may extend roof service
life.

Green roofs are ideal for urban buildings

with flat or shallow-pit roofs, and can
include anything from basic plant cover to
a garden. The primary reasons for using
this type of roof include managing storm
water and enjoying a rooftop open space.
Skylights and solar power

Skylights are an ideal application for photovoltaic

glass. PV skylights also improve thermal inner
comfort, since most of the UV and infrared
radiation are filtered out by the Silicon-based
material (solar filter effect). n other words, PV
skylights combine active and passive properties
that improve the overall efficiency of the system.
Semi-transparent PV glass reduces the need for
artificial lighting, generates power, and provides
thermal and sound insulation. It also helps
delaying interior ageing.
