SITE PLAN

Ideologies on which the institute has been designed

There has to be a feeling of no restriction to the exchange of ideas and thoughts through an informal environment. A thrust has to be given on the provision of flexible spaces which can be used in a multifunctional manner. A strong interconnectivity amongst spaces is required, making the school an open space with hardly any doors. A proper working environment has been created which facilitates faculty and students to teach, learn and interact anywhere. Local materials have been used , essentially to reduce the installation and maintenance costs.

CEPT, Ahmedabad is good example of blend of nature with the built-up. There is a strong connectivity between the building blocks. The buildings essentially merges with the surrounding to provide a unique ambience. Recessed windows provide protection from the hot sun, while angled windows assure that maximum light reaches the interiors.
