Philosophy
In the operational realities, if an attempt is made to highlight the
ideological postures leading to the directions of value as accepted in all
design-decisions resulting into tangible architectural ambient, the
efforts are also directed towards creating a preference in the public
mind for consumption of good design in their day to day living.
The immediate surroundings is source of construction materials; snow,
stone, straw, reed, wood or mud is the indigenous materials for
constructing an enclosure.
The relationship between human being and the building being
established, what develops and grows around becomes a measure for
man and his society.
There is a place for everything and everything has its place.
Spatial configuration in his design is an attempt to invoke a spirit that
will establish a symbiotic bond between the present and the past.

FORM
Realization of shelter form and its
content are in response to a given
place, climate, and time.

AESTHETICS
It is the aesthetics of openness
contrasted with enclosures that
highlights the different features
from the rest of the faade.

CONCLUSION :
UTTAM C. JAIN IS ONE OF THE GREAT CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECT OF INDIA . AFTER
STUDYING HIS
PROJECTS WE UNDERSTAND HIS PHILOSOPHY THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMAN
BEING AND
THE BUILDING BEING ESTABLISHED, WHAT DEVELOPS AND GROWS AROUND BECOMES A
MEASURE
FOR MAN AND HIS SOCIETY . HIS PROJECT SHOWS LOTS OF GOOD ARCHITECTURAL
SOLUTIONS AND THEIR
IMPLICATIONS IN INDIAN CLIMATE AND BEHAVIORS. THE USE OF ARCHES , VAULTS , DOMES ,
SQUINCHED , PILLARS , CUTOUTS IN FACADES , COURTYARDS , PERGOLAS ETC ARE THE MAJOR
ELEMENTS OF HIS DESIGN. HIS DESIGNS ARE MERE A EXCELLENT RESPONSE THE SITE AND
SURROUNDINGS. THE JODHPUR UNIVERSITY IS ONE OF HIS GREAT WORKS INDEED . HE HAS COME
UP
WITH A EXCELLENT SOLUTIONS OF THE CLIMATE AND SPACE BEHAVIOR. THE STEPPED ROOFS , THE
SITTING PATTERNS , THE USE OF STONES , THE USE OF CUTOUTS FOR VENTILATION ARE HIS
MAJOR
FEATURES IN IT . USE OF LOCAL MATERIALS WITH A GOOD MIXTURES OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY
MAKE
HIS BUILDING A COMPLETELY EXCELLENT RESPONSE .
IN THE OPERATIONAL REALITIES, IF AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO HIGHLIGHT THE IDEOLOGICAL
POSTURES
LEADING TO THE DIRECTIONS OF VALUE AS ACCEPTED IN ALL DESIGN-DECISIONS RESULTING INTO
TANGIBLE ARCHITECTURAL AMBIENT, THE EFFORTS ARE ALSO DIRECTED TOWARDS CREATING A
PREFERENCE IN THE PUBLIC MIND FOR CONSUMPTION OF GOOD DESIGN IN THEIR DAY TO DAY
LIVING.
A DOCTOR BURIES HIS MISTAKE AND AN ARCHITECT BUILDS HIS MISTAKE. THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS
WHO
