Drawing from the Idea of formalising the trail, the projects tries to look at the nature of trails which is twisting and turning, and draws from it as a 3d concept. The upper noors of the buildings in the project turn by 45 degree to orient themselves better with the wind direction in order to ensure higher wind speeds in the spaces especially the deep rooms like studios. Additionally, with the project containing multiple bocks placed along the streets and chowks, there was a need to harmonise the visual character of the buildings and tie the project together, hence took shape the sleeping S shelled roof form, it works with the concept of a north light and uses a shell structure to bring in the same utility. The shell structure is used in the terrace spaces in the academic block as well over the studios to ensure effective lighting.
